GoGo noodles

I love instant bowl and cup noodles! So easy to make, cooks fast and no mess to clean up. I had that msg craving this afternoon so I went to the noodle basket that I got on my birthday to see what I could cook up. As I dug through the basket, I found quite the variety of treats, there were filipino pancit noodles, korean noodles, vietnamese pho ga….and then I hit gold! A japanese curry udon bowl! Drooool….my mouth watered as the boiling water hit the seasoning powder and the aroma of delicious curry wafted up my nostrils. The wait was excruciating but finally…it was time to enjoy. Peeled back the lid to find that the soup was not as thick as the picture on the lid. Noodles were wide with a soft, almost spongy texture that soaked up the oh so good curry broth. I liked the big pieces of dehydrated carrots, scallions and pork! Yum yum.

I’ve heard from a few people that this place is great. Unfortunately, I can’t agree. The ambiance was very fun and contemporary, the service was great, the plating was gorgeous but the food was bland. Not so great even despite the fact that we were starvin like marvin. What a bummer. I was so looking forward to a great lunch. Since we were so hungry, we ordered up a storm. I ordered the berkshire pork belly ramen. Sounded tasty but not so very. Noodles were ramen-like but the broth was bland and the berkshire pork was not so tender. You know what though? I didn’t really have high expectations for the ramen since I was dining in a too-cool-for-school trendy over priced restaurant in Vegas.
