隱家拉麵 赤峰店

This ramen shop has been on my bucket list for a long time, and every time I pass it on the weekends, there's always a long line. Yesterday, I happened to be nearby on a weekday evening and thought I'd check if I could get a table. The staff said it would take about 20 minutes of waiting. I was lucky enough to have a seat immediately, and the 20 minutes passed quickly, so we went in to eat.

I really think the broth tastes amazing! We all ordered the pork bone soy sauce ramen. In this cold weather, the pork bone broth is so comforting. One person in our group ordered the regular strength, and it tasted very fresh and sweet, not salty. I ordered the Japanese thick broth, which was perfectly salty.

As for the noodles, they are a flat ramen with a moderate thickness, and the texture is very chewy. So delicious!

The char siu was chicken thigh char siu, which I'm not a huge fan of, and it was lightly grilled. It's very tasty, but personally, I prefer pork char siu. So we ordered an additional pork char siu, which was very well marinated and paired perfectly with the ramen!

The only downside is that they don't serve beer. 🍻

FYI, the shop has a second floor, so there are quite a few seats. I waited in line behind about 10 people, and it took around 20 minutes to be seated. Definitely worth a try!
