The yuzu salt broth is sweet, salty, and fragrant without being greasy, but I don't have a particular preference; I want to try other flavors next time (there are only 3 in total).
🔺Char siu rice $70 👍🏼
The bowl is super hot when it arrives, so be careful 💥 The taste is amazing and perfectly seasoned. I'm actually not sure if the meat is pork or fish because it tastes very good with a hint of tuna!

🎉 Yilan Family Ramen 🎉

🎉 Popular Delicious Food in Luodong 🎉

This place in Yilan Luodong is known for its long queues, and at meal times, there's always a crowd waiting. This time we avoided the peak dining hours, but we still had a bit of a wait 😆 There are a row of chairs at the entrance for those who have been waiting for a while, which is quite considerate 😆

Since we went after the main dining hours, many items were sold out, so we ordered the restaurant's signature rich white soup and the highly recommended Soul Black 😋 All the ramen in the shop can be customized, such as choosing thin or medium noodles, the hardness of the noodles, the richness of the broth, and the types of meat (shoulder or pork belly) 🤩 There's also a seasoning area in the middle of the restaurant where you can get ice water, and the shop has a special vinegar for those who love vinegar to enhance the flavor 😁

Rich White Soup: (Japanese flavor, thin noodles)

I don't usually drink the broth, so I chose Japanese flavor with extremely hard thin noodles. It looked really good, and after taking a sip of the soup, the rich bone broth was quite tasty, with a slightly gelatinous texture but not overly salty. 👍 The char siu was perfectly balanced between fat and lean, with great flavor and texture.👌

Soul Black: (Mild flavor, thin noodles)

When it arrived, it was full of energy; the black garlic flavor was rich, and the mild broth paired well with the black garlic. It tasted just right 👍 The slight charred aroma gives it an adult flavor 😆 The grilled char siu added an extra layer of fragrance, very nice. 😌

Karaage Chicken:

Freshly fried chicken thigh chunks, with skin for extra crispiness. There's a hint of soy sauce flavor, and when you take a bite, the juices burst out, very well fried. 👍

To summarize:

Since the restaurant requires you to queue in person, no reservations can be made, so you may have to wait a bit during meal times. 😊 The shop is located next to the Luodong Cultural Factory, making parking very convenient. After a hearty meal, you can take a stroll there to check out some artist exhibitions, which is quite nice.

In the late night in Xinyi District, I thought I might as well have a bowl of ramen since it was almost 11 o'clock, and there really weren't many options. So I first went to Ichiran, but found out I would have to wait 4 hours. I wondered if that was too outrageous and decided to quickly change plans.

Fortunately, there was another ramen shop nearby that was open late, otherwise I would have felt quite disappointed.

The shop wasn't very big, but there were only a few customers at night. After being seated, I looked at the menu and decided to try the naked soup ramen (rich broth).

The food came out quickly, and of course, the first thing I did was taste the broth. To my surprise, it was really a rich chicken broth. The flavor of the chicken was very strong, definitely living up to its name—one word: excellent.

The noodles and the chashu were also good. Personally, I preferred the pork chashu from this shop; the chicken chashu wasn't as tasty.

🍜 Second Generation Noodle Shop Okumura (Noodle Shop Okumura)
📍 1st Floor, No. 367, Jingping Road, Zhonghe District, New Taipei City
🕰 11:30–15:00 / 17:00–21:30
(Closed on Tuesdays, open until 23:30 on Fridays and Saturdays)

🥚 This ramen place was recommended by a friend, and I was pleasantly surprised. The chicken and pork white soup ramen ($260) has a strong and rich miso flavor, but it's not overly salty; the soft-boiled egg ramen ($280) has the same base, and the addition of the egg makes it smoother. The sliced chicken is very tender, and the pork chashu doesn't have an odd pork taste; overall, it's quite clean.

🍥 A refreshing option is the Kitakata clear soup ramen ($240), which has a clear broth but doesn’t taste thin, and the charred chashu has a nice aroma.

🥗 The potato salad ($80) has a troublesome name; you have to mix it yourself with mayonnaise, chashu, egg, and potato. The texture has multiple layers but isn't as impressive as expected.

🍙 The Okumura rice ball ($120) looks quite strong, covered generously with bonito flakes, and filled with chashu; however, it tastes rather ordinary.

🍚 The onsen egg chashu rice ($80) is decent when mixed with the egg, but the rice is slightly wet.

💧 Ice water is provided on every table, and you can help yourself to it as much as you want; it's just right to cleanse the palate after heavier dishes. Overall, the noodles are the main attraction; the side dishes have a big presence but are mediocre, so I still recommend just sticking to the noodles 😌.

Located near Yongchun MRT Station, "Fucha Ramen" is a specialty ramen shop that focuses on rich chicken white soup. The dining space is not large but is clean and minimalist, with few seats, making it suitable for solo visits to quietly enjoy a hot bowl of noodle soup. The shop has a minimum order requirement of one bowl of ramen per person, which clearly indicates the focus here—it's all about savoring a good bowl of ramen 🍜.

This time, I ordered the "Rich Chicken Soup Ramen." I opted for the thicker broth version, and it was as rich and creamy as expected, almost having a buttery texture. Once it hits the palate, the aroma gradually unfolds, and the deep flavor extracted from the chicken bones makes each bite satisfying, perfect for friends who enjoy a strong-flavored soup 🐔.

The noodles are thin and on the firmer side, effectively absorbing the broth. I personally prefer this kind of chewiness, which pairs wonderfully with the rich soup!

However, the toppings were a bit disappointing. The soft-boiled egg was cooked a bit too well; the yolk was almost fully cooked, lacking the gooey, semi-gel-like texture that a perfect soft-boiled egg should have. As for the chashu, the pork chashu was slightly tough with some chewiness, which might be a bit challenging for those with weaker teeth. In contrast, the chicken chashu was more impressive—tender and juicy, better complementing the rich broth.

Overall, the highlight of Fucha Ramen is undoubtedly the soup base. For those who enjoy a thick broth, this is definitely a place worth trying. If they can refine the quality of the toppings and cooking times in the future, the overall execution of the ramen will elevate significantly. I recommend first-time visitors to start with the rich chicken soup, avoid the pork chashu option, and fully enjoy a sincere and richly flavored hot bowl of ramen!

<About the meal 🥣>
+4⭐️

Although my curry is spicy, it’s not that spicy. I suggest that friends who want to try something spicy but are afraid of the heat should give it a try. And if you really are worried, it’s a good idea to have a bottle of water on hand just in case.

The omelet on top of the rice looks quite substantial. After finishing it, you’ll definitely feel full, so I recommend ordering it only if you are really hungry.

For the fried chicken, I ordered three pieces. I personally think that three pieces are just about right since the portion of the curry rice is quite large. If you can’t finish it, it’s better not to order more to avoid waste.

I personally prefer the chicken skin to be a bit sweeter, and it is quite thick, so you may need to chew for a while.

Classic department store employees, very fast, but not much interaction with customers.

Located on the second floor of the Mitsui Outlet, there’s plenty of space, so you don’t have to worry about not having a seat, even during meal times.

I originally wanted to eat the famous pig's trotter rice, but it was closed. I saw this place and decided to give it a try. You can order a bowl of noodles, and there's unlimited douhua (tofu pudding) and drinks. You can also add your own toppings, and the dining environment is comfortable with air conditioning and restrooms.

After entering, you inform the staff of the number of people, and they will arrange a seat for you. You scan the QR code at your seat to place your order. After ordering, you have to pay at the self-service kiosk at the front. Only cash is accepted, and your meal will start being prepared only after payment.

The meal arrived quickly. I ordered the clear tomato snowflake beef knife-cut noodles. The broth was delicious and not too salty, with goji berries adding a slight sweetness. The tomatoes were small, but you could taste them. The snowflake beef was sliced, and the portion was quite generous, with a good balance of fat and lean meat. You can choose between knife-cut noodles or thin noodles; I chose knife-cut noodles this time, which weren't too thick and were on the thinner side, not overly wide.

Unfortunately, there were no blanched greens, so I ordered the Japanese-style jade salad, which turned out to be cold kelp salad. It was sweet and sour, making it suitable for summer appetites.

During lunchtime, there were many people, probably because of the unlimited douhua and six types of toppings available. That day's toppings included: grass jelly, red beans, coconut jelly, mung beans, peanuts, and taro, all of which were on the sweeter side. The soy milk, although labeled as mildly sweet, was also very sweet, and only the douhua had no sweetness. If you don’t want it too sweet, be careful not to add too many toppings. The douhua was quite tasty, feeling handmade and not like chemical-made douhua. I recommend it, although the toppings were too sweet. The drinks included winter melon lemon, which was also on the sweeter side.

💠 A bowl of good soup is a way to quietly release stress, finding healing within its richness. 💠

🍜 Li Chuan Chicken White Soup Ramen (Medium) 250 TWD
I chose thin noodles (straight), no green onions, no red onions 🌿
The broth is truly rich! Every bite is infused with the intense aroma of chicken white soup; it’s rich but not overwhelming. The chicken fat blends perfectly with the broth, making it irresistible to finish every drop 🤤
The ramen noodles are chewy and bouncy, perfectly complementing the soup - if you love rich broths, definitely order this!

🍜 Rich Tonkotsu Soup Ramen (Large) 270 TWD
I chose medium thick noodles + salty version 🧂
The tonkotsu aroma is powerful! The large portion is genuinely generous; the salty broth is not overly salty but adds depth to the overall flavor. The noodles have a firm texture that becomes more fragrant with each bite 💥

🍚 Li Chuan Char Siu Rice (Small Bowl) 70 TWD
The char siu is grilled to perfection, delivering a delightful aroma. Paired with mayonnaise sauce and white rice, it's just perfect 🍖🍚
Although it's a small bowl, it is very satisfying. After finishing the ramen, it’s a perfect ending to add a bit of char siu rice!

Originally named "Geji Ramen," it was later changed to "Fine Arts Department Ramen," deriving from the original restaurant's name "Fine Arts Department Sushi."

Although ramen is not the main item, its quality is still pretty good. After being seated by the staff, customers can scan a QR code to place their orders, which differs from the usual automatic ordering machines found in ramen shops; payment is made after receiving the food.

I ordered the "Overwhelming Portion: Apology to the Pig," and the visual presentation when it arrived was indeed quite impressive, with large slices of pork chashu and seared pork belly, plus a soft-boiled egg. The meat quantity is definitely more than the usual two or three slices of chashu found in other ramen, but I wouldn't call it excessive.

The noodles leaned a bit on the hard side, but they still had a reasonably normal firmness when eaten. The broth wasn’t much in quantity and wasn’t overly salty; by the end, it was slightly thick, and you could even get a bowl of Japanese white rice for free to enjoy with it.

Overall, there weren’t any particularly astonishing elements; everything was of average quality but not especially outstanding. Perhaps ordering the white rice and making a mixed rice dish could be the most unique aspect, perfect for adding a substantial amount of starch!

This ramen shop has been around for more than ten years and can be considered one of the earliest Japanese ramen shops introduced. Ichiran, Ippudo, and Ittou Ramen were probably introduced later. Compared to those, this place has stood the test of time and has a solid base of supporters. The environment is comfortable, bright, and clean, and the food is served quickly, mostly located in department stores or food courts, but this one is inside the Vieshow Cinemas.

Focusing on a garlic-flavored broth, this ramen shop is quite distinctive compared to others. This may be because garlic is an indispensable ingredient in Chinese cuisine, which makes the familiar flavor beloved by many, allowing it to operate for more than a decade.

This time I tried the spicy classic ramen. The broth has a stronger flavor but is not too salty; the balancing of the spicy and garlic flavors is very good. The noodles and toppings are all above average, and overall, I liked it a lot.
