Ramen with Shaved Beef, Shiitake Mushrooms, Pickled Carrots and Dakion Radish, Shaved Spicy Peppers and a Soy Egg in Citrus-Sesame Broth – $6.00
The beef is of a good enough quality: tender and juicy. The broth adds a saltiness. The ramen noodles are well-cooked. They’re nice and soft and buttery in flavor. All of the vegetables add a nice crunch. The mushrooms pair perfectly with the broth as well. The soy egg was well-cooked. Overall, this is a solid dish.

Thai Shrimp with Rice Noodles, Shiitake Mushrooms and Basil in Coconut-Curry Broth – $6.75
For the money, you get several nice-sized shrimp. The curry is present, but not overwhelming. It has a nice soup consistency that works well with the mushrooms, but it should have more vegetables for a curry. It’s not bad for what it is.
Rank out of 7: 4
Ramen with Tofu, Shiitake Mushrooms, Pickled Carrots and Daikon Radish, Shaved Spicy Peppers and Baby Bok Choy in Citrus-Sesame Broth – $5.75
This was just okay. You get two enoki mushrooms that are barely cooked. The tofu has a decent consistency, but overall, the dish is a little lacking. If you don’t eat any kind of meat, it’ll do, but otherwise, you’re better off with the other choices here.

Parish Brewing Strawberry Mochi, Broussard, LA (4.5% ABV) – $5.75 for 6 oz., $9.75 for 12 oz.
From Parish Brewing: “We took Louisiana’s state fruit as inspiration in this mochi-inspired creation, Strawberry Mochi. With one sip you will melt into the smooth strawberry puree, layered over pillowy hills of creamy lactose. Rich Madagascar vanilla and fluffy toasted rice reminiscent of strawberry shortcake kiss the palate on the finish.”
Pacific Rim Solstice Vineyard Old Vine Riesling, Yakima Valley, WA ($25/bottle) – $8.00
From Wine Enthusiast’s Sean P. Sullivan: “The aromas offer perfumed notes of diesel, apricot and honeysuckle. Fuller-feeling, bone-dry lime and stone-fruit flavors follow. There’s a kiss of medicine on the finish.”
