Dickson's Fooday Food Review #266

This time I will be commenting on a ramen special.
But you probably don’t see me giving such a low score to a restaurant very often!
That’s right, I found this ramen to be really disappointing; it might just rank among the worst ramen shops I’ve ever been to.

Like other ramen shops, this one also requires you to line up.
The upside is that you only have to wait about 15 minutes to get in—there weren’t many groups ahead of us!

Additionally, this ramen shop’s feature is probably its late-night hours.
You can see that it stays open late into the night, making it a great spot to try after a night out!

As usual, you'll order using a ramen vending machine.
This ramen shop doesn’t offer many options—
It specializes in ginger ramen flavor.
You can also choose some extra items from the menu if you want more meat,
But be aware that the original ramen doesn’t come with an egg.
So if you love eggs, don’t forget to order a soft-boiled egg!

However, on the day I visited, there were surprisingly many items sold out—
Especially the soft-boiled eggs and other types of meat,
I couldn't order them, which was a bit disappointing since it was still relatively early—
It was only around 6 PM, yet the meat options were completely unavailable!

The space inside the shop is actually very cramped;
It can only accommodate about seven to eight customers at a time,
And the walkway only allows one person to pass through!

It's a really tiny ramen shop,
And the overall atmosphere just conveys a sense of quickly filling up on ramen.

But the key aspects are still the flavor of the ramen and the quality of the food.
When my ramen first arrived, my first impression was:

Is this really the amount of meat they’re giving? It’s so little!
So does that mean if you can’t order extra meat, you won’t have much to eat?

But it’s okay; if it’s really delicious, I’d be fine with that.
But after finishing, I could only think,
“How is such a disappointing ramen shop still in business??”

In addition to the issues with the ramen itself,
While dining, the staff didn’t provide me with a spoon or water cup.
Other customers next to us also didn’t receive spoons,
And after I mentioned it to the staff,
They finally realized they hadn’t given us any spoons to use.
They hurriedly brought us some spoons….

This part felt quite outrageous to me. 😂😂😂

Overall, I believe this ramen shop really doesn’t warrant a return visit.
Setting aside the service and atmosphere issues,
Just the content and flavor of the ramen itself
Makes me feel it would be more worthwhile to just cook instant noodles instead. 😂😂😂

Friends, seriously, there's no need to come here!

⭐️ Food
👉 Ginger Salt Ramen $190
I originally wanted to order the ginger spicy miso ramen,
But as mentioned earlier, many items were already sold out at such an early hour,
So I had to settle for the salt ramen.

As you can see in the image,
The amount of meat included is truly pitiful—
Just a couple of bites of chashu and the largest item in the bowl was probably an egg.
The rest was just very basic ramen noodles.

The overall texture of the ramen noodles was acceptable,
But the noodles, ramen broth, and other toppings felt completely disjointed,
Like everything was just combined together in one bowl.
And because the meat portion was so small,
In the end, I felt like I was just eating starchy noodles…
It was really not acceptable…

Additionally, the shop focuses on garlic and salty broth flavors,
But overall, it was just too salty.
I couldn’t even drink much broth at the end.

So eating this bowl of ramen was quite a painful experience for me.
I had no idea why I came here!
It felt like I had two pieces of chashu, a soft-boiled egg, a piece of seaweed,
And a whole heap of noodles. 😂😂😂
By the way, the ramen didn’t originally come with an egg,
So the only part I found great was the soft-boiled egg I ordered! 😂😂😂

Therefore, in terms of food, I find it quite inadequate,
I absolutely do not recommend coming here to eat!

And because the meat portion was really too small,
I originally considered ordering more meat, but due to stock shortages, I couldn’t add any more…

So it’s really not a viable option. ~~~

⭐️ Atmosphere
The space inside the shop is indeed very cramped,
But many ramen shops have a similar feel,
It’s just that this one feels even narrower and dimmer. 😂😂

So the dining experience feels more like you’re in a ramen shop where you need to eat quickly,
And thus, the dining experience is not very comfortable!

⭐️ Service
The shop doesn’t provide any special services.
As mentioned, you order via the self-service ramen vending machine.

Also, I previously mentioned that I received no spoon when the ramen was served.
This part of the service was definitely a big drawback.

⭐️ Price
I originally thought the prices were quite reasonable for ramen in Taipei,
But when the food arrived, I realized
You truly get what you pay for. ~~~

The included ramen didn’t even come with an egg,
And only had two small pieces of meat.
Isn’t this clearly just a setup to make us order more?

Ordering more isn’t the problem,
But on that day, not even the meat was available.
What could one realistically eat? 😂😂😂

Thus, in terms of price, I don’t find it to be cheaply priced at all. ~~~

⭐️ Overall
I believe this is a ramen shop that I cannot recommend at all.
Given how many ramen places there are currently,
There’s really no need to come here for this! ~~~

Personally, I feel there’s absolutely no value in coming here,
The only thing worth noting is that they’re open late at night. 😂😂😂
