Mugen Noodle

$$ Fodor's Choice

After a day of skiing, windsurfing, or hiking, head to this inviting, family-run restaurant in downtown Hood River for a hearty, soul-warming bowl of ramen along with some shareable plates of izakaya-style appetizers, like fried oysters, tempura shrimp, and seasoned edamame. These richly complex ramens burst with flavor, from the duck chintan with scallions, corn, and stir-fried wood ear mushrooms to the miso clam with corn and cabbage (and optional Carlton Farms chashu pork as an add-in). The chicken katsu curry is delicious, too.
