Crafty Ramen is built around noodles as the main event, with daily house-made noodles, ramen-specific broths, and a menu that stays focused on bowls rather than treating ramen as one item among many.

MAKIN's noodle range is the clearest expression of the kitchen. Pad Thai, Khao Soi, Pad See-Ew, drunken noodles, boat noodles, and noodle soups give diners more than one route through Thai comfort.

Regional noodle soups are the strongest part of the menu: Q1A - Mi Quang with Pork, Egg and Shrimp, Q2 - Bun Bo Hue, Q3 - Hu Tieu Nam Vang, and P3 - Beef Pho give the kitchen a clear noodle-house backbone.

Pho Saigon is strongest as a noodle-house stop. Rare Beef Pho, House Special Pho, Spicy Huế Noodle Soup, Chicken Pho, Seafood Pho, and Wonton Soup give the menu real bowl depth.

Thai Villa has one of the deeper noodle programs in the local Thai set. Pad Thai, Khao Soi, Yen Ta Fo, Mee-Kati, Suki-Yaki, Ba-Mee Kiew, drunken noodles, and soup noodles give the small room surprising range.

Cantonese Chow Mein, Pan Fried Rice Noodle with Beef, Singapore Vermicelli, fried noodles, lo mein, and soup noodles give noodle orders real range.

The noodle side is deeper than a token add-on: Cantonese Chow Mein, Shanghai Noodles, Singapore Fried Vermicelli, lo mein, ho fen, and noodle soups all give the BBQ meats a second lane.

The Thai side is not a throwaway add-on: Pad Thai Noodle w/Shrimp, Thai Spicy Noodle w/Beef, and sweet basil wok dishes give noodle-and-wok diners a real path through the menu.

Noodles are a serious part of the menu, not just one Pad Thai line. Pho, drunken noodles, Singapore noodles, crispy noodles, Rad Na, and vermicelli soups give the kitchen a broader noodle-house feel.

Noodles are not the whole story, but they are a useful backbone for ordering here. Hakka Noodles and Schezwan Noodles help turn the momo and appetizer strengths into a complete meal.

Noodles are a real path through the menu, with Hakka, Szechuan, Singapore, Shanghai, Pad Thai, spaghetti-style, and tandoori chicken chowmein options.
