LITTLE KUMA NOODLE

This place is a gem! Everything we ate was delicious, hearty and just good for the soul. Good portions, staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The place is cozy. The prices are amazing. Will definitely be back! We can’t stop talking about this place.

Little Kuma Noodle recently opened in the space previously occupied by Noodlebox. Aside from the new signage, not much has changed. The interior looks nearly identical, and the staff are even wearing the same Noodlebox shirts. The menu is also quite similar, featuring a mix of Japanese, Thai, Chinese, and Korean dishes. Here’s what we ordered: Braised Beef Ramen Bowl ($16): served with ramen noodles, bamboo shoots, fish cakes, fungus, seaweed, corn, onion crisps, half a ramen egg and your choice of broth (tonkotsu, shoyu, miso, curry broth or clear broth). With the staff’s recommendation, we went with the tonkotsu broth. My friend, who ordered this dish, really enjoyed the broth. He had some leftovers, and the staff was kind enough to provide extra broth for him to take home. Pineapple Fried Rice with Chicken ($13.50): I think they probably used freshly cooked rice rather than day old rice as it was very moist and sticky. The chicken pieces were tender and soft. It was a decent fried rice that paired well with the fried chicken dish we ordered. Korean Fried Chicken Wings ($13.75): 10 pieces of fried chicken wings & drumsticks served with your choice of sauce (soy garlic, sweet yuzu, smoke BBQ or Korean Hot). The chicken was perfectly fried—plump, juicy, and full of flavor. Its wonderfully crunchy exterior wasn’t overly salty, which I appreciated. Interestingly, the sauce was served on the side for dipping. I enjoyed the chicken so much that I felt it didn’t even need the sauce at all Scallion Pancakes ($6.75): super crispy and flaky and served with light soy dipping sauce. I thought it was slightly too well done at first but the more I ate it the more I liked it. A quick look at the menu revealed that all items were priced under $18, which is quite reasonable—especially for this neighborhood. We also received 10% off our bill as part of their grand opening promotion. I probably wouldn’t go out of my way to visit, but I’d definitely return if I were in the neighborhood and looking for reasonably priced food

My friend & I were passing by the neighborhood & saw this spot and decided to try it. Cozy decor with excellent food. I recommend trying the crispy chicken over rice. Will be coming back to try their sizzling platter steak & noodles!

Unassuming little shop, but with very delicious food and ample serving. Like this place, highly recommend. Definitely will come back for second time. So satisfied with food quality, quantity and friendly staffs with warm service.

Multiple different asian cuisines. Nice mix. Flavor good. Inexpensive. Excellent lunch specials. Casseroles. Fried green beans outstanding. Good service, small place, dark.

Great local spot for ramen and more and excellent customer service with delivery and keeping us posted when it was arriving.

“A” rated in cleanliness. The waitress was sweet and attentive. The food delicious. I had the jumbo shrimp spicy curry and my partner had the roast duck over rice. The curry ramen was delicious. It had a nice kick to it but not spicy per se, which I prefer. It was slightly creamy but not overly. The curry tasted more reminiscent of Thai coconut but not so forward and overpowering as a traditional curry. The shrimp was succulent. I’ve been looking for a ramen like this for quite some time. Can’t wait to come back to try more things and obviously the ramen again to

Just delicious Ramen! You will go back for more! Location: It is located in Bayside. The ramen shop is small with few seatings inside if you want to eat your ramen here. Service: she was nice, told me to get the japanese roast pork ramen! Food: Everything was good! JAPANESE ROAST PORK RAMEN: omg so good! The soup itself is so tasty, and its not salty unlike other ramen! The pork was tender and roasted so its a little crispy at the edges! FRIED CUSTARD BUN: best way to end your meal, the bun is little crunchy outside and soft inside! The custard is not that sweet thats why I love it! Price rating: 7/10, it is not bad for a ramen I will definitely come back here for more!! I will still get the Japanese roast pork ramen!!
