Salmon Noodle 3.0
7.7
A modern, seafood-forward ramen shop that leans into luxe bowls and bold add-ons rather than classic tonkotsu tradition. It’s a strong fit when you want a rich, statement ramen built around salmon, crab, or lobster, with the best experience coming from ordering one signature bowl and staying focused.

Special Lobster Noodle Signature, Spicy Salmon Ramen, Crab Ramen Truffle

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; very limited in Little Italy, especially after 6pm—rideshare or subway is strongly recommended.
Dress code: Trendy casual to smart casual; jeans are fine, but many diners lean a bit dressier for photos and nights out.
Noise level: Moderate to lively—conversation is easy across the table, but it’s not a quiet ramen room.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes without a reservation during peak hours
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait outside of the noon rush
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—some vegetable-forward noodles or broth adjustments, but the menu is seafood-centric.
Vegan options: Very limited—best to confirm day-of; this is not a vegan-focused ramen shop.
Gluten-free options: Limited—broths and noodles are not gluten-free by default; modifications may be possible but not guaranteed.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, if you want something trendy and conversation-friendly. The bowls are impressive and photogenic, though richer and messier than classic ramen.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Often yes on weeknights or early evenings; weekends are busier and may require a short wait.
Is it kid-friendly? Better for teens than young kids—flavors skew rich and seafood-heavy, and the vibe is more adult-oriented.
Best For
Better for: Seafood-forward, luxe ramen bowls with bold flavors and strong visual appeal.
Skip if: You want traditional tonkotsu, lighter broths, or a classic, no-frills ramen experience.
