O-Cha Noodle Cafe opened its doors in Uptown Beaufort back in the fall of 2019, and now it’s announced that it will be moving to Lady’s Island.
Becoming a much-loved Beaufort restaurant staple ever since, O-Cha Noodle Cafe is the only spot in town that offers a variety of different authentic Asian cuisines in one place; with a variety of noodle dishes including Pho, Ramen, Suki Yaki, and Tom Yum, all inspired from different parts of Central, North and Southeast Asia.
Before they opened, you had to leave town to find similar fare. In fact, the owners of the new restaurant originally opened O-Cha for that very reason: They were tired of going out of town to enjoy their favorite meal.
Now, all we have to do is go to Lady’s Island.
Management told us that their lease is up at the end of April in their current location, and they will be opening sometime in May at their new spot at 277 Sea Island Parkway, in the shoppes next to the Lady’s Island WalMart, joining Ryan’s Hibachi and Jersey Mike’s at the plaza.
The new location also offers expanded parking, which was very limited at it’s Uptown Beaufort location.
You won’t find your standard ‘cup-o-noodles’ at O-Cha. Many folks look at a 50 cent bag of ramen noodles and think that’s what it actually is. Real ramen is so much more. Ramen bowls offer lots of fresh vegetables and a variety of meats as well.
High-quality Asian ramen; the soup, noodles, flavors, and toppings requires extensive preparation and is nothing like its cup-of-soup cousins.
But, O-Cha isn’t just serving one style of food. The chef-owner combines many different flavors from the Orient and throws in a splash of taste from Japan, Korea, Thailand, Vietnam and China on his menu with ingredients including, cabbage, fish balls, beansprouts, bok choi, Chinese broccoli, bamboo, pineapple…..and even curry.
In addition to ramen bowls, the menu at O-Cha is loaded with other fare at O-Cha including rice plates, noodle plates, and salad bowls, along with spring rolls, dumplings, crab rangoons, tofu, and a whole lot more.
It’s the real deal. And, hopefully it won’t take them long to make their move. We’re looking forward to visiting O-Cha Noodle Cafe on Lady’s Island.
