Yukichi Ramen 諭吉拉麵

Foodholic Nako @ Taipei

To begin with, the conclusion: the ramen is on the salty side, with an average performance. There are too many delicious ramen spots in the Taipei area, so I won't be visiting again.

"Yuchi Ramen" is located near Lin Sen North Road, about a 10-minute walk from Exit 2 of Zhongshan Station. The store is small, with only counter seating and a few regular tables.

I arrived around 5:30 PM on a weekend, and there was no need to line up for a seat. Around 6 PM, I noticed people starting to queue outside, but there were only about 1 or 2 groups, and it didn't seem like a place where you would have to wait long for ramen.

Perhaps due to taking delivery orders, even though there weren't many customers inside, I had to wait about 15 minutes after placing my order before the food arrived, which was a bit frustrating.

A plus side is that you can pay directly with Linepay online, which is quite convenient.

Chicken and Pork Soy Sauce Ramen - $330
The broth is quite rich and initially tastes good, but after a few sips, it becomes overwhelmingly salty, leaving me thirsty. Naturally, I couldn't drink to the bottom of the bowl.
Although the price for this bowl of ramen is on the higher side, the portion of noodles and ingredients is quite generous. Besides the four slices of chashu, there is a lot of spinach, a piece of seaweed, a soft-boiled egg, and a quail egg.
The eggs were all quite tasty, and I was particularly surprised to see a quail egg in the ramen, as it's not very common.
I originally thought there would be both chicken and pork chashu, but later realized it was all pork. The chashu is on the fatty side, and by the end, it felt a bit overwhelming.

Overall, this bowl of ramen is too heavily flavored for my taste, and personally, I found it hard to eat. I started to feel full and a bit sick around two-thirds of the way through the bowl. This isn't a ramen shop I'd want to revisit.
