Charley Noodle & Grill

Pictured: Jellyfish, Braised Pork Ramen, Dan Dan Yi Mian Very good food for the price & good portion sizes as well. Would definitely go again next time when in the area.

Waitress/owner was very energetic and seemed to know most of the clients. We were here for the first time because I was craving katsudon. The meat was very tender, better worked than most other places. The onions were very undercooked on the other hand, so I didnt eat them. The ramen was good for a regular restaurant but we prefer the ramen served in ramen specific restaurants a lot more. All in all, a simple and nice spot for a meal.

There are very few times that Yelp has led me down a wrong path and this is one of them. I'm not sure how this place receives an average 4 star rating. We ordered the ramen with spicy tonkatsu broth. You have to add each topping separately. Most ramen incorporates the spices to the soup base to make it spicy. When I received it, there was a layer of hot oil floating on top. The noodles tasted like the ramen noodles from a package. It has that same waxy exterior that is very distinctive. The signs of a good ramen is the noodle and the soup. Both failed. The egg was over cooked and the yolk had a grayish ring. The one redeeming thing is the minced pork. It was flavorful, but again on the dry side. My husband ordered the General Tso's chicken. The batter was light and crispy, but the chicken was super dry. The sauce was sweet without the spicy and tangy.
