Beijing soup spot lives up to its name (2)

If you're looking for a less rich soup, go for one of the silver varieties - the salt soup options. You get the same toppings, but with a lighter broth. It is tasty, but let's get real: Golden noodles are where it's really at.

If you're in the market for an affordable bowl of great noodle soup, look no further than Invincible Ramen.

If the most amazing broth in Beijing isn't enough to get you down there, they also have very nice staff, cute paper lantern interiors, and a hefty menu of sides to round out the dining experience.

Fried dumplings are classic gyoza style, crispy on the bottom and juicy inside. These come stuffed with pork mince and chives. A good selection of sauces lets you create your own dipping mixture, but these suckers are great even on their own.

If you're like me and have daydreams about eating avocados, get into the avocado salad for a bit of freshness on the side: Full of fresh avocado, mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, it's smothered in fish roe and mayonnaise dressing.

The 'special-made fried corn with cheese' was a simple, tasty side dish that brought very homey memories about creamed corn to mind.

Boiled edamame beans are also a great side to snack on while you wait for the main event - ramen, obviously.
