If you’ve ever set foot in Tiger Ramen around noon, you’ll know it’s a hit lunch spot that’s always packed. There’s nothing to dislike on this menu with all different styles of ramen. Grab the soy sauce ramen or the miso ramen for $9.95 or less. You can also get the large rice bowl with chicken or pork, depending when you go, for around $9.50. Other options on the menu don’t quite make the cut for under $10 since they adjusted their prices, but you can find a couple other ramen dishes for under $11 — and they’re all delish. Where: 310-1210 Summit Dr.

Fratelli Foods

First lunch back from the Refresh -- staying disciplined! Happy to be getting some carbs (in the form of bread) and some protein!
