🍜 Seafood Tonkotsu Ramen
Not too strong or too weak, has a noticeable bonito flavor, tastes quite good.
🍜 Special Extra Rich Tonkotsu Ramen
Personally, I think the flavor is too complex.
🍚 Char Siu Rice
It's recommended to eat with soup, otherwise, it’s easy to choke.
If you want to add noodles for free, make sure to request it when ordering.
The staff service is excellent, but unfortunately, they won't proactively inform you.
The meat slices are classic; not bad, but also not amazing.
Overall, it's just average food court quality.
Title: A Yay's Food Review Rating: ★★★☆ (3.5/5)
| Changsheng Salt Ramen, Wufu Branch | Lingya District, Late Night Ramen
Overall Impression: A cozy and compact ramen shop specializing in salt-based broth and sous-vide chashu. Although the flavors are relatively mild, it still retains a certain uniqueness, making it a good choice for a warm bowl of ramen during late-night hours.
【Ambiance and Dining Experience】
• About 10 seats available, but high table turnover means waiting time isn’t too long.
• Friendly service from the staff, with detailed explanations.
• Open until midnight, perfect for enjoying a hot bowl of ramen late at night.
【Highlight Dishes】
• Broth:
• The salt broth is refreshing, a bit mild but layered, evoking a nostalgic feel of plain noodles.
• The miso broth is richer and suited for those who prefer stronger flavors, but it’s not overly salty.
• Chashu:
• Sous-vide prepared, the meat is light in texture but a bit bland in flavor.
• Served with two types of meat, the portion is quite generous.
• Sweet Egg:
• Sweet in flavor and quite nice.
• Needs to be ordered separately; a soft-boiled egg would be ideal.
• Noodles:
• The basic option uses Haoyi noodles, which can become soft when soaked too long.
• Upgrading to Licheng noodles provides a firmer, chewier texture, giving a more authentic Japanese ramen experience.
• Side Dishes:
• The kimchi is average in flavor, leaning towards the ordinary side.
【Conclusion】
Suitable for those who enjoy a lighter style of ramen and don’t prefer overly oily or salty dishes. While the broth and ingredients may not be "stunning," being able to enjoy a comforting bowl of ramen late at night is a happiness in itself.

"Ramen in a Simple Room" is located near Shuanglian Station, about a 3-minute walk from Exit 2. The shop is very small, with only a row of wall seats that can accommodate about 6 people.
Although the store looks simple (perfect for the name "Simple Room"), you can feel the owner's effort. The walls are adorned with many posters of basketball legends, and Japanese music is playing. Enjoying Japanese ramen while feeling like you’ve suddenly found yourself in Japan—a very immersive experience!
Chicken Broth Ramen $200
Ingredients include: noodles, rich chicken broth, shredded scallions, chicken breast char siu, chicken thigh char siu, and half a soft-boiled egg.
The noodles are thin and have a slightly firm texture. The chicken broth does have a bit of oil, but I think it’s rich and delicious without being overly salty. Taking a sip of the soup followed by some noodles and a little bit of scallions is really tasty; the scallions add the finishing touch!
The soft-boiled egg has a hint of wine aroma, which is quite nice. The chicken char siu, whether from the breast or thigh, is not dry at all, and the thigh is particularly tender and delicious!
Seafood Soy Sauce Ramen $190
Ingredients include: noodles, seafood broth, secret soy sauce, secret fish oil, shredded scallions, chicken breast char siu, chicken thigh char siu, and half a soft-boiled egg.
I took a sip of the soup and found it to have a completely different flavor, with a hint of seafood freshness. The soy sauce broth is not overly salty either, making it a delightful soup!
The shop does not offer common ramen seasonings like shichimi powder, but there is a jar of chili-infused sake made by the owner. It’s not spicy, but has quite a strong alcohol flavor. If you enjoy a broth with a hint of alcohol, you can add a bit to your ramen; however, I personally prefer it without that addition, which I think tastes better~~
Overall, I really like this place. The prices for ramen are very reasonable, unlike some well-known ramen shops where a bowl might cost around $300 or even close to $400. Yet, the quality doesn’t fall short at all. I think it might even be tastier than some of those overpriced ramen options.
This is the restaurant located on the first floor of the Jiaoxi Mountain Shape Hotel, but there is no hotel parking available, so you need to park in a nearby flat parking lot and walk over.
The meal options include ramen, mixed noodles, fried foods, pickles, and alcoholic beverages. I ordered the spicy sesame dan dan noodles. The soup base is not super rich or strong in flavor, and the noodle texture and saltiness are fixed, with no option to adjust them. For me, the overall taste is rather moderate. I initially expected a spicy ramen but it turned out to be not spicy at all, and I added the chili oil and seven spice powder on the side for adjustment. My companion ordered the unbeatable tonkotsu ramen, which had potato chips on top, as well as cabbage and bean sprouts, making it a bowl of ramen rich in toppings and quite filling.
The overall dining environment is nice, with a Japanese atmosphere. The restroom is located on the first floor of the hotel. The staff's attitude is good, and they proactively ask about your taste preferences. When checking out, residents of Yilan County can get a discount of 10% on the service charge.
Dining Time: 2025/03/21
Before watching the musical at the National Taichung Theater, I stopped by the nearby Tiger City for lunch.
After being seated, we filled out the order form to customize the flavors we wanted. This time, since I wasn't very hungry, I didn't order any additional side dishes. Then, I waited for the delicious ramen to arrive. Before that, I started with the black pepper bean sprouts and spicy pickled cabbage on the table. Remember to put some on a small plate to eat! The black pepper bean sprouts were super refreshing and helped cleanse the palate, while the spicy pickled cabbage was a bit too spicy for me...
On the menu, besides the four main ramen (Tonkotsu, Aka, Midori, and Kuro), there are seasonal limited options available each week. After choosing, I ordered:
⭐️ Midori King 💰270
This ramen features a tonkotsu broth with pesto flavor. It is topped with cheese powder, Parmesan cheese, and bits of bacon. I chose pork shoulder for the chashu (sliced pork). Overall, it's not too heavy on the taste, with the aromas of cheese and basil. Anyone who loves pesto should definitely not miss this!
⭐️ Tonkotsu King (pork belly) 💰270
This is the tonkotsu flavored ramen, but for this bowl, the chashu was pork belly (the braised pork with a bit of fat). The overall flavor was rich but not overwhelming, with a deep tonkotsu broth. The pork belly was tender and abundant in fat, making it a perfect match for the Tonkotsu King.
In summary, for lunch in Taichung this time, I chose Nagi over Ichiran. I really feel like I made the right choice—Nagi offers customizable ramen with a wider variety of flavors, and I was very satisfied! 😀 Highly recommended to everyone!
One of the famous ramen shops in Hokkaido, which also has a branch in the ramen street of New Chitose Airport. It happened to be on our way, so we included it in our itinerary. Even though it’s not in the city center, it is a standalone shop that is clean, bright, and comfortable with fast service.
The spicy miso ramen is very spicy and has a rich flavor, somewhat reminiscent of dan dan noodles. Drinking the hot soup while it's cold outside feels very warm. The noodles are chewy and smooth, and the signature soy sauce ramen also has a harmonious and delicious overall taste. The pork and vegetable pan-fried dumplings are also quite good.
At a Japanese ramen shop on the way to international channels, I ordered the restaurant's signature ramen. Because of the sesame sauce, it was somewhat like a fusion of Chinese sesame noodles and Japanese ramen. The texture of the noodles was excellent. When ordering at the machine, the restaurant asks what type of noodles you prefer; there are options for wide, medium, and thin noodles. The ramen is quite different from my usual impression of having slices of meat; instead, it has a lot of minced meat, which you need to mix with the broth when it arrives. The broth is rich, just like traditional Japanese ramen, and the service at the restaurant was also quite good.
"Ramen & Takoyaki George," located at Naha Airport, is a Japanese ramen restaurant that is suitable for a quick meal while traveling. The restaurant features an open seating design shared with another establishment. The menu mainly focuses on Kyushu tonkotsu ramen, priced at about 1,400 yen, including tax, with options like spicy tonkotsu ramen at 1,700 yen, served with toppings such as a soft-boiled egg and chashu, which are visually appealing.
From a personal experience, the Japanese ramen here is more authentic and tastier than in Taiwan, with a rich and layered broth that carries the unique aroma of pork bones. Although it is slightly greasy, it still meets the expectations of Japanese ramen flavor. The noodles have an average texture, lacking some chewiness, the toppings are fresh but the seasoning is a bit plain, resulting in an overall average flavor. There aren't many choices on the menu. In terms of service, the staff is friendly, but the efficiency is average; there is a longer wait time after ordering, and customers need to return their utensils after dining, which can be inconvenient for travelers in a hurry. Overall, this restaurant offers a convenient dining option; while it does provide authentic Japanese ramen flavors, there is still room for improvement in details. It is suitable for travelers wanting to quickly experience Japanese ramen. The reviews are mediocre, and I hope that in the future, they can enhance the noodle texture and service efficiency.

A must-try ramen that requires standing in line in Changhua!!
I actually had to run here twice to finally eat it. 😤
I recommend coming right when the door opens! (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎)

The rich chicken soup base
tastes just like homemade chicken soup!
It has a strong chicken flavor but isn't overly thick.
The chicken chashu is tender with a hint of pepper aroma,
it brings a unique texture and flavor that I haven't experienced before!
The noodles are slightly firm,
but I personally really enjoy it!
Even at the end, the noodles still have a chewy texture.
The difference between the two is the original and spicy flavors.
The spiciness is mild, just a little hot and very gentle~
If you love spicy food, I highly recommend it~~

A ramen shop that's been operating locally for a long time? The conch is even more famous; the store is old and has a lot of character. With its simple Japanese architectural decor, the shop isn't large but has a distinct Japanese flavor, giving it a nostalgic vibe that feels like my grandparents' business, which I really like.
I ate too much, so I couldn't have any ramen. I ordered a serving of conch and a beer instead, and it was really nice to have this for a late-night snack.
