Competing tonight from Scotland, two noodle takeaways: Glasgow based Ramen Dayo run by former DJ Paul and chef Coney, and Edinburgh favourite Ikigai Ramen owned by Gabriel and Michael.
"Representing Humberside, Gary and Scott who run Sumo Pan Asian in Beverley; from Wales, husband-and-wife team Chris and April from Bangkok Express in Swansea; and finally, bringing their unique noodle making skills, it’s chef Gheorghe and owner Walter of Noodlesta in Leeds.
"Judging the noodle dishes and deciding who wins will be a host of ordinary takeaway-loving families who will eat, rate and score the food from the comfort of their own homes; and guest judges, Manchester Village Spartans Rugby Club.
"But who will the families rate as their top noodle takeaway tonight?"
Glasgow's Ramen Dayo and Edinburgh's Ikigai Ramen will go head to head to battle it out for the title of best takeaway in the UK.

On Ramen Dayo's website, it says: "Ramen Dayo was born out of an unrelenting quest to taste the same kind of ramen that our Glaswegian-Tokyoite owner had enjoyed day-after-day during his 12 years living in Japan's capital.
"Upon returning to his hometown, the longstanding daily routine was broken - there were no dedicated ramen shops in Scotland at this time, and the best attempts were poor impersonations.
"Thus began a 3-year journey to create what was missing. Studying to become a ramen chef at home in a tiny kitchen of a tenement flat in Glasgow's Gallowgate is no easy feat.
"Painstaking research began, followed by trial-and-error through cooking for close friends, many of whom had visited Tokyo's finest establishments during the years before.
"This intensive R&D project came from the heart - an authentic search for lost flavours, memories & experiences, which birthed many of the Ramen Dayo recipes we still serve today."
Presented by Sara Cox and Darren Harriot, each episode of Britain's Top Takeaways will see five of the nations’ award winning, highly rated and creative takeaways will compete in their own cuisine, cooking and delivering some of the finest take out the UK has to offer.
And Ramen Dayo looks to have the the knack of cooking the perfect ramen, boasting 11.2K followers on Instagram for their troubles.
Judging the food and deciding who wins will be a host of takeaway-loving families who will eat, rate and score the food from the comfort of their own homes.
We wonder if you can apply to be a taster for the show too? One can only dream of that job!
You can tune into Britain's Top Takeaways on BBC Two on May 9 at 8pm, and support Ramen Dayo on May 19 at 8pm.
