You can find noodles in any asian store. There are many bands to choose from!

You want one serving (4 oz)

If you are hungry double the noodles (8 oz)

Cook the noodles in stock 3-4 minutes

Add seasonings, oil, soy sauce and base

I love to eat my noodles in a big white bowl

Some like to drain them instead of eating like a soup. You can also add meat and vegetables to make it more healthy or leave plain.

I like to eat mine as a soup.

Enjoy!

The food quality for casual dining is really decent. The prices are surprising for the amount of food they offer as well. There is always at least a 30 minute wait or more at this location.

I have eaten at several Cheddars locations in both Oklahoma and Texas. Some are better than others for service. The food has all been the same. I believe that the quality of the design and mood of the place along with the quality of food brings people in no matter how long the wait is. When food is good people are willing to wait for it.

This particular location has a serious problem with service. My family has resorted to asking for particular servers instead of just being seated. It seems they are so busy that they need everyone to work even if they are absolutely horrible. Instead of letting the bad staff go they just keep them on. One night we were seated for 30 minutes before someone came over to get our drink orders. They explained they didn’t know we were sitting there. She was rude the rest of the night. We still continued to go to the location after this and saw her working. I watched a group of people call the manager over to complain once and heard them say they would never be back. I have had this very thought when leaving.

I like the food and am willing to pay the price of waiting and bad service just to be close to home on occasion. If you go be prepared for the wait. If you get someone who is good remember their name and ask to sit in their section the next time.

This is one of the best places I have been to in the Houston metro area. Everything has tasted wonderful. So far I have tried and loved the fried ravioli, chipotle chicken pepper pasta, black walnut lemon chicken, lasagna and a burger. The tomato sauce is apparently from scratch and was incredible. The atmosphere is also nice. Upscale casual is what I would call this place. The focus is on fresh and unusual ingredients. I am looking forward to going back again and again!

When you enter there are menus waiting to be picked up. You can sit in the entrance to decide what you want or walk to the back where you place your order. There are usually dishes made up for you to see what they look like before you order. You seat yourself and get your own drinks. When your order is ready you go back to the back to pick it up. In the middle of the Black Walnut is the bar and dessert area. There is an assortment of pastries and gelato for you to pick from if you have any room after your meal.
