To make the long story short, I heard that there is good ramen in this 4 star steakhouse in Cupertino. The place is right next to Valco mall after exiting Wolfe on 280. Thought that it is close and at least give it a shot!
Unlike dinner, the lounge of Alexander steakhouse has a side lounge for serving lunch. The atmosphere is high scale lounge withe redwood and sofa chairs. Of course, there is a full bar in the lounge. Steak would be nice at the moment. lol.
4 different ramens are available and each containing different kind of meat. Got the short rib ramen and was quite expensive 13 bucks. Not many in for lunch which gives me a chill...
Ramen - Alexander special base soup. leaning toward chicken soup or pork bone soup??
Noodle - curly yellow regular thin noodle.
I really cannot pin down what it is after having a sip. This might be the first time I have seen shiitake mushroom put in a ramen. The soup did suck up the taste of the mushroom. The positives are the ribs.
With the steak sauce still on the rib, the taste of the ribs are fantastic, soft inside with good fat meat ratio. To be frank, this ramen with out the rib tastes just like instant noodle, plus no comparison on the price. lol. Even if you put the best steak in the ramen, with the overall taste not integrated, the product is a bad product.
I heard that they are stopping serving ramen after the 20th. They found out that most customers would come to the steakhouse for steaks! I totally agree with the management's decision. It does get me pump up for trying the steaks here! lol.
