The homeowners of Kyushu Ramen Bar, which has places in Grandview and Lewis Heart (and which I think about a number of the Finest Ramen in Columbus), just lately renovated and revamped their idea on Bethel Highway known as Yun Nan Crossing Bridge Noodle!
The noodle bar consists of a single room, tucked into the nook of the Carriage Place Plaza between Halab Cafe and Asian Worldwide Market. The total house options possibly a dozen picket cubicles; they appear to do a gentle carryout enterprise as properly.
The 2-page menu encompasses a assortment of appetizers, ramen, stir-fried noodle or rice bowls, plus drinks and desserts.
However the actual function are the crossing bridge noodle soups. These dishes originate from the Yunnan province of China, are of their fundamental type are soups that you just combine collectively your self. Hold scrolling right down to see the way it works!
Earlier than we dug into our noodle bowls, we tried just a few appetizers, like a easy however easy-to-love miso soup.
Props to the takoyaki, or fried octopus balls. They’re wealthy and aromatic.
We tasted a pair of steam buns as properly, each wonderful. These are the karaage buns. Karaage is fried hen, in case you didn’t know.
And these are the pork stomach buns. Each are properly composed, with that splendid mix of candy and salty, savory and crispy.
Not everybody on the desk ordered the noodle soups. We will attest to the standard of the yaki udon bowl with hen!
And now it’s time for the principle occasion: the crossing bridge noodle soups. There are seven several types of soups on the menu, however the signature is the home particular rice noodle soup.
As a part of the gimmick, the home particular dish arrives on a tiny bridge! (You may examine a number of the supposed origins of crossing-the-bridge noodles here.)
The bowl of broth, noodles, and substances arrive individually. There’s an illustrated set of directions on the wall and in your menu, and your server may also inform you learn how to assemble the soup.
The substances on the bridge embrace every thing from two kinds of beef, sausage, shrimp, scallops, fish truffles, clam, a quail egg, tofu, greens, and extra.
First up is your broth, which is delivered table-side scorching sizzling in a bowl.
Our server recommended beginning first with the meat, since that was uncooked and thinly sliced. That manner it may prepare dinner whereas we added every thing else in.
The way you add the remainder of the substances is as much as you, relying on how totally you need them cooked. We began with the proteins earlier than shifting on to greens.
Your ultimate step is to pour within the bowl of noodles, give all of it a stir, and then you definitely’re good to go!
We liked every of our bowls. The broth is properly seasoned with out being too salty or overpowering, and the plentiful substances imply the bowls are very filling.
