Prairie Noodle Shop - Edmonton

Terrific addition to the areaWe had outstanding service today.

So much hype about this place I had to try it As soon as I walked in, I could smell an unpleasant porky odor in the entire place.

So, I've had plenty of ramen in my time and while I won't say this is my favorite ramen in the area, I will say that it is good ramen, especially for the

Prairie Noodle is fine. My boyfriend and I have been trying to come here for a while, but it was always closed. We finally went there last night. This was my third visit. I've had the pork noodle on one occasion, and I had the veggie ramen last night. I'm not a huge fan of kimchi, and so I was coughing a bit on occasion. My boyfriend didn't notice any curry in his veggie noodle bowl and wasn't a fan of the broth.Service was okay. They do have really cute decor, and good prices, and use a lot of Albertan products, which I love.

I've been meaning to review this place for a while but kept forgetting. There's been a proliferation of Ramen joints in Edmonton lately and after a mediocre bowl tonight somewhere else I'm finally giving credit where credit is due.Firstly, the place is small so be prepared to wait or even not get a table at prime times. That said, it's worth the wait.We often start with the Bao'wich which are packed with flavor but the winner here is obviously the ramen. I've had the pork shio and the spicy garlic miso recently and the garlic is the winner for me, though both are great. One day I'll try the Gouda vegetarian alternative but I have a hard time getting away from the pork.Not the largest or cheapest ramen in town but definitely the most inspired and a strong contender for the tastiest (and I'm picky about my ramen).If you haven't gone, then go.
