Asian, Noodles, Critics' Pick

The specialty here is extraordinary noodles, handmade to order. Place an order for beef noodle soup or minced pork noodles and the chef appears at a long, prominently placed counter, forming dough and flamboyantly teasing it out to great length. He slams the dough against the counter, spins it out mid-air and tugs it all apart with the obvious joy of a performer playing to a captive audience. The noodle dishes are stellar, but don't overlook the xiao long bao, or soup dumplings, the famous bit of culinary magic in which each dumpling contains both meat and piping hot broth. Pork belly and oddly, for a Chinese restaurant, full sushi bar help round out a menu that also has the usual Chinese American favorites.

Marugame Udon

5500 Greenville Ave., Suite 1102 Northeast Dallas

469-343-0808

Japanese, Noodles, Menu

Originating in Tokyo, Marugame Udon now has two locations locally, one in the Old Town Shopping Center at Lovers and Greenville, the other in Carrollton. Their only other U.S. brick and mortars reside in California and Hawaii.

Udon, ramen’s beefier, longer “big brother," as Cudd refers to it, is an exceptionally versatile wheat-flour noodle capable of carrying an array of ingredients seamlessly. The noodles are handcrafted on-site at Marugame.

Orders are placed at the counter where you choose your bowl, and tailor it with your desired medley of toppings like egg, scallions, tempura flakes and shichimi peppers. Top it off with your pick of tempura, which includes a vast selection ranging from traditional shrimp tempura to potato croquette and several in-between: zucchini, squid and a tempura-fried egg done omelet style, to name a few.

The nikutama is their go-to bestseller on the menu. It’s served with sweet and savory beef and a custard-like hot spring egg in a bold house-made dashi broth. The curry nikutama is another customer favorite, pairing the razor-thin sweet beef and curry.

Morefan

240 Legacy Dr. Plano

972-517-8898

Chinese, Noodles, Critics' Pick

This restaurant specializes in the only Xi’an style noodles in Dallas. Off Legacy Drive in Plano, just west of 75, is a strip mall emblazoned with the yellow words “Food Court.” That terse but accurate description conceals a small operation filled with Chinese and Korean stalls, including a tofu specialist, a bubble tea shop and Morefan. Order the wide, flat biang biang noodles — each noodle can be up to two feet long — coated in a savory, gently spicy stew of meat and peas. If you’re especially hungry, upgrade to a combo and get as a side dish a small chopped beef sandwich, served on the Xi’an equivalent of an English muffin.

Ramen Hakata

3714 Belt Line Rd. Addison

972-247-2401

Noodles, Japanese, Recommended

You can get ramen in a few places in Dallas, but the area was without a dedicated ramen shop until Ramen Hakata opened in Addison. True to Hakata-style, the soup is offered up at a low cost, without too many frills or extras. You can order extra noodles, soft-boiled eggs, garlic and other garnishes if you like, but no matter what you throw at your bowl you’re still left with a simple but delicious meal. If you’re in the mood for snacking before you slurp, a few appetizers deserve your attention. The chicken karaage offers bite sized morsels of crispy fried chicken, and the chasu bun offers the same round of pork found in the ramen with a sweet sauce in a steamed bun. And then there’s the gyoza, which are fried to a crisp here, with little crunchy bits clinging to the wrapper. Paying a visit to Ramen Hakata without ordering them could be construed as criminal intent.
