Edit: A few days after posting my review, I got the expected feedback from the owner that I should "kick rocks." I cannot take offense because I expected it, and there are way worse comments on other reviews. If you care about how businesses treat customers, then spend your hard earned money elsewhere.
My friend and I decided to check out Lucky Rabbit Noodles after it was hyped up on social media and had very good reviews. We went when it opened at 11am on a Saturday. They are trying to go with hole-in-the-wall vibes with their interior, but the pricing is not aligned with that. The interior only seats about 5 people at a time, so try to either get takeout for the park or go at an off time.
My friend got the braised beef and noodles ($26), and I got the garlic noodles ($18). There is a 5% service charge, which I wish they disclosed, because I would have paid in cash if that was an option (it may not be). My friend commented that the noodles were almost gluey (maybe undercooked), the beef was nice and tender with nice flavor, but nothing else aside from the meat had flavor. The garlic noodles were very dry and also severely lacked flavor. I forced myself to finish it because of the price.
Location-wise, I understand why this place needs to have their prices so high. However, your food needs to justify those prices. Truthfully, even if their prices were lower, the noodles were not good. I think they should bring a few people in for taste testing and revamp their menu. The owner also has some rude replies on Google reviews (telling a reviewer to kick rocks), which I think is poor customer service.
