Attention all noodle-nerds, soup-slurpers, and rameniacs! This weekend (Feb. 21 and 22) Hakata Ramen Shin-Sen-Gumi in Fountain Valley is offering bowls of their ramen for $3 to the first 550 customers (or thereabouts).

I'm not sure what the occasion is, but it's happening. And I don't need to tell you that $3 is an insane price for ramen. I routinely spend $10 on lunch there.

And if by chance you are a big eater, here's the tip everyone in-the-know already knows: Eat all the noodles, leave the soup and then ask for refill of noodles for an additional $0.95.

Doors open at 11:30 A.M.
