With holiday shopping upon us, there’s no better time to indulge in a bowl of flavorful noodles while exploring the downtown shops.

About In the Nood

Opened in April, In the Nood offers “noods you’ll never forget” and then some. Known for its fresh, made-from-scratch noodles crafted daily in-store, this spot creates an authentic ramen experience that’s both delicious and heartwarming. 

From lifelong residents to newcomers exploring East Alabama, In the Nood provides a cozy setting to enjoy with family and friends.

The Menu

In the Nood’s menu is a testament to its commitment to quality and flavor. For starters, the homemade noodles are the star of the show, offering a satisfying texture that perfectly complements the rich broths. 

One highlight is Pork Belly Shoyu, featuring a shoyu tare with a chicken broth, sliced pork belly, topped with Narutomaki, mushrooms, garlic, nori, green onions and a marinated egg. Or spice it up with the Ginger Chicken or Spicy Korean Shrimp. 

And vegetarians aren’t left out, as the restaurant offers Miso Veggie, with marinated tofu, carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, garlic, nori and sesame, that is as hearty as it is flavorful. Moreover, side dishes like edamame and steamed buns make for perfect accompaniments to your meal.
