"You won't find loaded bowls with 45 toppings at this Noble Square spot—Rudy’s Ramen keeps things simple. And the menu is short, with only seven ramen options. Rudy’s sticks to the basics and it’s that's what makes each bowl great. Their rich-but-not-too-fatty pork broth (or a mushroom broth for vegetarians) is balanced, topped with just a handful of ingredients. The open dining room has a similar simplicity—a few plant wall decals and basket lamps. But the staff and the eponymous Rudy keep the place from feeling boring, often stopping by to chat. Plus, since it doesn't usually get too crowded, it's great for an impromptu dinner." - john ringor
