AI Spot Summary
The portion size of the meal is sufficient, the signature ramen has a strong garlic flavor with a moderate saltiness, and the spicy chives are unique and suitable for adding to the noodles. The broth is rich but can be a bit overwhelming, and it's a pity that the soft-boiled egg is a rare addition.
The Shin Kong Mitsukoshi next to the Kaohsiung High-Speed Rail Station is a great option for a quick meal before taking the high-speed train.
The server informed that the food would be served within 15 minutes, which met expectations.

On that day, there weren't many people, and there were some empty seats, but there was a bit of time pressure for taking the high-speed train, so I confirmed with the staff how long it would take to serve the meal after being seated. The staff informed me that it would take about 15 minutes, so I sat down to eat.
I ordered the popular signature dish - garlic pork bone ramen. The garlic flavor was quite strong, and the taste was also very bold. The first bite was a bit salty, but the flavor was pretty good. Their spice is quite special; instead of the commonly found chili, they use spicy chives, which pairs well with the noodles and really does have a kick. There were also other condiments available for self-adjustment, but for me, the flavor was quite strong, so aside from the spice, I didn't add any other seasonings.
The portion was quite sufficient for me. Besides the chashu, there was also a half egg. I personally prefer soft-boiled eggs and don't like fully cooked eggs, so I felt it was a bit of a pity. My companion ordered the garlic pork bone miso chashu ramen, and the broth had a rich miso flavor, but by the end, it was a bit greasy, and we couldn't finish the soup.
This place is next to the Kaohsiung high-speed rail station at Shin Kong Mitsukoshi. It's a good option for a quick meal before taking the high-speed train.
