Lifting Noodles

This restaurant is located in the Sweet Octopus location with 3 others and they’re all pretty good. You can essentially get ramen, Thai food, empanadas and boba all at once-it’s pretty great. The broth is flavorful and a little spicy so it was tasty. The calamari was fresh and crunchy. All in all, this is one of many great businesses at Sweet Octopus. You definitely need to check it out !

Lifting Noodles is located inside Sweet Octopus in downtown Duluth. Sweet Octopus operates 4 different restaurant brands inside, each with their own unique cuisine. I came here for the Ramen, but was tempted to get one of the Sushi Burritos which also looked good and is from the 'Poki Burri' brand. I'm sure that the other food is spectacular here, but sadly, the Ramen was not. My half egg was overcooked. Compare my photo with the restaurant’s own photos. If you are serving just half an egg, then there is no excuse for it to be overcooked... since you can see the inside, right? The pork cutlets were tough when they should be tender. I tried to force myself to at least finish all of them, since I hate wasting meat, but literally could not finish my third cutlet. I don't really know how else to describe it, but the Ramen noodles themselves were just meh, and the same quality that you would get from a package. The broth was also meh. I'm trying not to be a spoiled brat and compare this Ra
