Service (A+) The service is fast and friendly. They did an excellent job explaining the different options to me and getting the food out fast. Super friendly Value (A+) A bit over $20 out the door for one of the best poke bowls I have ever had. Food (A+) Got a poke bowl with salmon and tuna. Check out the pic. All fresh ingredients. Excellent. If this place was in a big city there would be a line out the door every minute of the day. Trust all the positive reviews.

However, I was a bit underwhelmed with the quality of tuna. There wasn't much complexity to the dish. The place is known for their ramen. So I would go for that next. Ambience is like a vintage oriental hut. Not much seating but a good place to do a casual date.

Was in town for a conference and went out to dinner with friends. We chose this place because I…read morewanted to try the pho in the area. The Internet shows they close at 7:45 pm, but the store sign shows they close at 8:00 am. There is parking in the front and also in the back. The back parking looked like residential parking with the nearby homes, but the staff assured me it's their parking lot. My party of three got seated right away towards the window facing the front parking lot. We received laminated menus. The menu can be confusing because it doesn't show the full pricing for the pho options. I had to ask the waitress for clarification since there were pricing next to the meat options and pho options. I ordered the oxtail and rib beef pho which was a total of $26 plus taxes. The broth was flavorful, but cloudy with residue from the meat. The noodle was soft, but firm. The oxtail was soft and fall off the bone good. The rib was soft but tough. It was disappointing because I thought it would be soft and tender, like fall off the bone good. Also they forgot to include it in the pho soup and when I asked about it, they brought it out right away. Pho rating - I rate it 3/5. My friend order the cream cheese wonton. It was good, 3/5 good. Staff members were friendly. Just be aware that a staff member may tell you they will be closing soon. That happened to us this time. Overall the place was small, but sizable for a dinner outing with a small group of friends. I would go there again, but wouldn't go out of my way to order it.

We were in Rochester MN for 2 days. I looked at Yelp's Top Ten and noticed First Meeting Noodle…read more Right up our alley. Watching your noodles being pulled and boiled is a true treat. We ordered Sichuan Wontons in Chili Oil and Scallion Pancakes for a first course. The wonton noodle was the best I've ever been served. We had Green Beans and Curry Chicken Noodle for mains. We brought lunch ingredients to make sandwiches at our conference. Instead, we returned for more wontons and pancakes. Our companion was interested in calamari (spent ~45" too long in the fryer) and a bowl of chicken noodle soup that was too big to finish. I thought the broth was good, but I'm partial to a saltier ramen style broth. Shops with hand pulled noodles should offer small scissors. You could pull on a single noodle in your bowl like forever!

We had already eaten at the Kernel and Pizza Ranch, and everything that we viewed on Yelp had ratings of 1.8 or below. I found the First Meeting Noodle in Rochester, Minnesota, 38 minutes away, so yeah, road trip! When we arrived, we found hotels all around; the area looked newly built or well maintained, and parking was easy. We entered the restaurant, were quickly seated, and were given menus. I ordered soup, and my trustworthy technician ordered noodles with vegetables. We agreed that it was worth the drive, and we couldn't stop talking about the cook tossing massive noodles in the air. He was our hero for the evening, and he definitely had mad skills. The restaurant was well maintained, with clean restrooms, and they always had someone clearing and cleaning tables.

Good food, attentive staff. Favorite tempura roll in town,…read moreshrimp always fried fresh just before rolling Just beware on your bill. So prices for food are different than what is listed on the menu IF you pay with a credit card and there is no warning. Listed price for a roll may say $9, but on the bill it was listed as $9.36. When I asked, I was told $9.36 is the price if you pay with a credit card. So the menu price is for cash transactions, but it's not specified anywhere on the menu. The staff working said she would ask the owner and we were eventually charged the menu price listed since this was not disclosed when we ordered or before getting our bill, but just beware. Also, just know that asking for sriracha is not like asking for soy sauce or salt. A tablespoon of Sriracha is considered a $2 side dish. I didn't realize it was a menu item when I asked for it. So just keep an eye out and ask what's included in your meal and what's considered a separate menu item.

I typically get Salmon, Eel, and California Temaki and all of those are genuinely the best you can get in town. They dont even judge me for sometimes getting like 3-4 bowls of miso soup. Its great. Even if im not in the mood for sushi all of their appetizers are delicious and their fried rice is one of the best in town as well. The entire staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The very few times I've ever had something come out incorrect all I had to do was politely point it out and they swiftly fixed the problem, or remade it correctly. They are very fast and super attentive. The restraint itself is very clean and comfortable.
