    This place doesn't deserve all the hate it gets. Ramen fully lived up to my expectation in an airport terminal. It's fine. Gets you through the interstitial phase that is modern air travel.

    Was wonderfully surprised by the quality of the food and service. The server was funny and really great with my 2 kids. He brought over the Elmo stuffy to entertain them while refreshing our drinks. The ramen was pretty good and filled with lots of extra noodles for the kids to share. Rolls were tasty as well. Great convenient location!

    I ordered the pork ramen before a flight. Fortunately, I had plenty of time because it took 20 minutes to prepare. They were not busy. I think it sat for a while in the kitchen because the noodles were soggy by the time I had a chance to eat. I will say the staff is friendly and understands the importance of prompt service at the airport.

    A regular airport food and service... in a traveler ambience........ . So don't expect an attentive personalized service..

    Food is alright for airport food. After coming from Portugal where Asian food isn't great, this tasted fine lol. Yeah, the to katsu broth could be deeper, the egg could be soft boiled, etc. but it satisfied our cravings at least. I actually liked that it wasn't too salty. The main issue was the wait - it took about 30 minutes to get our ramen and an extra 10 minutes after to get our sushi. I wish there was a note that said it would take awhile as we almost missed our boarding for our flight. In addition, it was about $20 for a bowl which is way too expensive, but alas it's the airport.

    Well... The ramen cost around $20 You can order through the app but the notification is bad. So they won't tell you roughly how long the waiting is. It's Christmas holiday so the staff is running shortage. They are quite occupied. So so there was 15-20 mins until the ramen is served. I have to say the staff is nice very friendly. But the ramen looks like microwave food although it was served hot. The taste was ok, noddles ran too soft. But its definitely not worthy $20.

    This place is definitely underrated simply because it's airport eats. I was checking Yelp and was weary of coming here because it was rated under 3 stars, but pretty much everything in this terminal is. We needed to eat something and ramen sounded good so we sat down and ordered a bowl on the iPad at the counter. We weren't starving and the ramen was expensive so we split one which ended up being perfect. The depth of flavor was way better than expected for an airport counter and the chicken was great. We also ordered an unsweet iced tea which was better and stronger than I get at most restaurants. It did take a while for the ramen to come out which needs to be improved when people are catching flights, but we were early so it was okay.

    Taste & Price doesn't equate. Food came after 30mins of ordering so be ready to wait. It wasn't even busy. Service was poor. All in all will not eat here again & don't recommend this. It is just plain expensive.

    For an airport, I really enjoyed my noodles! A healthy dose of electrolytes right before my next flight was perfect. Of course, in other circumstances, this is totally not a justified $20 meal, but compared to the undercooked pizza my husband ordered, heck yes, win. The egg wasn't runny and the noodles were meh, but I'll give them credit on the pork belly since that had decent flavor and was not the rubber mess that I expected. I'd recommend the stop given the other Asian place I passed that served Ramen per menu did not actually have it.

    Let me get one thing straight. Shan Shan Noodles doesn't care about this review. They don't care if…read moreyou come. Why? Because they are busy AF. They are buzzing. We went for the first time Sunday at like 3pm? Full. Take out orders flying out the door. It's a cute place. Standard strip mall aesthetic. But they do have a window where you can see them hand pulling the noodles. That's right, hand pulling the noodles which is the main attraction. The food is from the North Western part of China near Pakistan so there are some Indian influences like their Cumin lamb and pulled noodles one of their most popular dishes. But I'm getting ahead of myself. With my vegetarian wife who as usual ruins everything by insisting we order vegetarian appetizers. Scallion pancakes were delicious. No pictures because we ate them immediately. Pan fried dumpling. 9 of them. That's a big portion. And it was like 9-10 bucks? They make their own dumpling wrappers, their own dipping sauces. Dumplings were very good. You could really taste the vegetables. Focused on the quality of the ingredients. My wife had the hand pulled noodles in hot oil. Marked spicy it was American spicy. Did not blow your head off. O enjoyed them. They give you a pair of scissors. Because it's one long noodle. Do not use them on your birthday. More on that later. I had the aforementioned cumin lamb and pulled noodles. I liked it but it was overwhelmingly cumin flavored which obviously is the point of cumin lamb. I'm not saying over seasoned I'm just saying it announced itself as this is cumin lamb. Period. We also had bubble tea! How fun is that? My wife had taro which they made with non dairy milk for her. I had pomegranate with exploding bubbles. Never had those before. Also super fun. They did not explode in an American way or even a Chinese way as both countries let's face it are pretty well known for making things explode. No in a pleasant way. Waitress was delightful we had obviously a long conversation about the food and the restaurant. The scissors are for Americans who share their food. In China you would eat the noodles slurp them without cutting them because eating long noodles especially on your birthday is supposed to promote a long life. We did not learn this until after cutting my wife's noodles. It was her birthday. I will miss her but also look forward to meat based appetizers. One door closes and all that. They also own the bakery a few doors down. Very light chiffon style cakes. Not too sweet. Chocolate Oreo cake. I asked if that was very traditional. Oh how we laughed at my hilarious joke.

The dumplings were flavorful, hot, and perfectly steamed. They were definitely the highlight of our meal. Next came the beef pancake which was crunchy, chewy, had excellent flavor, but slightly heavy on the sauce. Lastly, was the braised beef noodle soup. The broth's flavor was on the mild side, whilst relying on the spice's heat to shine as the primary flavor. The beef was also mild, but especially tender. There was also a good amount of proteins in the soup and the hand pulled noodles were perfectly thick and chewy. Overall it was a great dish for a chilly night out.

It's one of those places where you know exactly what you're getting every time. I know I can expect solid food, fast service, and a menu that works for pretty much everyone in a group. I do like that they have a button on the table to call for service and that's a quick turnaround time once you press that call button. They have all the usual Korean comfort dishes, and most of the staples here are consistently good. The hot stone bibimbap is always satisfying, the fried tempura comes out fresh and crunchy, and the yukgaejang has a good rich spicy broth that actually tastes homemade instead of watered down. One thing I always order for the table is the bulgogi patty. That is definitely one of their sleeper dishes. I did try the galbi jjim recently for the first time and unfortunately wouldn't recommend it. Especially compared to some other Korean spots nearby in Fort Lee, it just lacked flavor and didn't really hit the way a good galbi jjim should. Sub tier. That said, this place shines more as an everyday dependable spot rather than somewhere for one specific dish. Portions are fair, banchan is meh (they offer less and less each time I go), but it's easy to come here with a group because there's something for everyone.

Didn't get a chance to try it out until yesterday and man, we were missing out. The yunnan rice noodle soups are so good, and different, from the more commonly found Asian noodles; ramen, udon, pho, etc. Not going to say that it's better than the others but it's absolutely fantastic that there's another option now when you just want a warm, comforting noodle soup. Especially since winter is coming. The setup is more akin to a food court than a restaurant so the small seating area is shared with Kam Man and all the tableware/utensils are plastic and disposable. There's a door to the outside basically right there though so unless you're seated to either side of it you get blasted w/cold air every time someone enters or exits. For my first visit I went with their "pickled pepper soup rice noodle w/beef stew" (A8) and it was very good. The soup was flavorful and the noodles were perfect; fresh & not mushy at all. And digging through the bowl was like going on a treasure hunt for lil' yummy morsels: a quail egg here, some wood ear there, a random piece of thinly sliced ham, good stuff. However, for those of you w/nut allergies, they do add roasted peanuts to some of their dishes so you'll probably want to tell them to not add them to your food. The only minor neg with the dish was that the beef brisket was a tad tougher than I'd like. But if brisket isn't your thing, they also have the same dish but with "beef roll" (A7) which I found to be an odd translation for basically thinly sliced beef. I was so enamored w/this noodle soup that I brought my wife the very next day. I went with the same soup base but w/fish fillet (A9) this time and it was just as good as the first time. I will definitely have to come more often to try out their other offerings. I also noticed that they have rice based dishes as well in case you get tired of noodles. So anyway, I'll definitely be visiting a lot more and I really hope they stick around longer than the previous eateries at this location. And while it would be nice (if not really feasible) to get your food in 10 seconds as their name implies, so far their food has definitely been worth the wait.
