"The Japanese take their noodles very seriously (watch the movie Tampopo for an excellent overview in a howlingly funny film). This is a good place to see why. It features "fire ramen," a flaming dish of wheat noodles with enough pork and chicken to scare any vegetarian away (the restaurant actually tries to discourage vegetarians from coming, since all it can offer up without meat is fried rice). Reasonable prices, and great fun to watch noodles flambé."
