Charley Cheng, owner and chef of Charley Noodle &

Grill, is a beloved figure in Los Altos. a Cheng offers three spice levels, but you can also just ask for chili paste, and spice it to your taste. A dozen appetizers and side dishes amplify the possi-

bilities for personal expression. Some, such as sweet corn v and fried tofu, are delicious additions to the soup. All cost $2.50 or $3.50.

Start with crisp, freshly-fried calamari. Cheng serves it

in a lengthwise, easy-to-eat format on a stick. o Seaweed salad has been julienned to a whisper, marinat- ed in sesame oil and chilies and topped with tiny sesame

seeds.

Also a big hit at my table: four small, lightly wrapped gyoza dumplings filled with chopped pork. r Fried tofu in cubes the size of marshmallows were creamy on the inside, with a very thin, barely tooth-resis- tant crust. For meat eaters, there are chicken nuggets, fried shrimp, ground pork and fried fish. For vegetarians, there are sweet potatoes, hard-boiled soy-infused egg, corn, kimchi, fer- mented bamboo shoots and vegetarian egg rolls. Diners can customize their ramen with side dishes. Pictured here from top clockwise: A steaming chicken nuggets, fried squid, potstickers, bowl of ramen fried sweet potato cakes, seaweed salad, noodles is $4 kimchi and potsticker dipping sauce. at Charley Noodle & Grill. harley Cheng is back in town, and Los Altos is very happy about it. Many people give him Charley a hug at the end of a meal at Charley Noodle & Grill. Having Noodle & C served up donuts and then Chinese food for 30 years at Lucky Chinese Restaurant, the cheerful restaurateur, now in his 60s, Grill serves has a tighter culinary focus this time around.

His new joint churns out Hawaiian rather by Sheila Himmel than Japanese-style ramen, so the noodles are skinnier — more like Chinese lo-mein — than Japanese ramen noodles. In Hawaii, it’s called saimin; “sai” photos by means “thin.” Veronica Weber Steaming bowls of soup may sound less appealing in the summer, but a visit to the air-conditioned restaurant may be just the right pick-me-up, at very little outlay. The signature dish costs $4. One of the four ramen broths is the universal comfort food and cure-all: chicken soup. The pork version soothes the soul with a milky broth pro- duced by long-simmered meat and bones. Its enticing aroma and savory flavor come courtesy of dried fish, kelp and onions. Similarly, miso soup goes for depth, not salt, while the fourth classic flavor offered is soy sauce or “sho-yu.” Each generous bowl of broth is stocked with a few pieces of bok choy, a few snips of green onion, curly flecks of dried tuna and a tangle of long, chewy, handmade noodles. That’s it.
