TIP! Shoryuken Ramen is open for lunch

The suddenly crisp fall air can mean only one thing: delicious ramen.

When the weather starts to change I instantly begin to crave soups of all kinds. Vegetable soups are pretty OK, I can get behind chili alright, but when it comes down to it noodle soup is the apex soup predator. I will now list my two favorite makers of hot, flavorful, life-giving noodle soups in Richmond. This will be a controversial, albeit short, list:

For ages, Pho So 1 was the place to get a bowl of hot noodle soup (pho) at lunch time, but, man, you had to get yourself out there.1 Now, as of a couple weeks ago, city-based noodle lovers can grab an amazing lunch in a bowl (ramen) at Shoryuken2! This is fantastic news! Noodles for everyone!

Now I’m gonna need a breakfast noodle spot…

  1. I just looked up the walk from the planned BRT stop at Willow Lawn…31 minutes. Sigh. 
  2. A zero minute walk from the planned Schaffer BRT stop!

    As Richard Hayes says: “Noodles are the new bacon”.
    And a shout out for Pho Tay Do on Rigsby Road (the little blue building with the plywood art and the best broth in town).

    That Pho place on Rigsby used to open at 9am for breakfast.
