The ramen shop "Ramen Gongzi" has a theme song created by someone who loves it very much.

I ordered the rich chicken white broth ramen. Considering that it costs over 300 New Taiwan Dollars, the portion of noodles is not large, and there is relatively little meat, making it somewhat expensive. However, both the soup and the slices of meat are quite tasty. Unlike Japanese ramen, which is often overly salty, this chicken white broth is rich and smooth enough to drink the whole bowl.

This is also highlighted by the table water, which is cold water but without ice, unlike Japanese ramen shops that insist on adding ice even in cold weather.

I also ordered an Asahi apple soda that is rich and flavorful, and this drink comes with ice. It tastes very refreshing, perfect for a relaxing moment after finishing the ramen.

The dining environment is comfortable, with air conditioning and light background music creating a relaxed atmosphere. During lunch hours on weekdays, it is not usually full, making for a stress-free dining experience.

This time I went to check out Ramen Prince because I saw the reviews on Fooday, which all had unanimous positive feedback and five stars. Driven by curiosity and as a ramen lover, I decided to go.

The shop doesn’t have a prominent sign, so it took a moment to find the correct location. Although it was mealtime, there weren’t many people, and I only had to wait a minute or two outside for a seat.

After some thought, I ordered the rich chicken white broth ramen.

First, I have to discuss the broth. I was a bit disappointed because everyone gave it five stars. It felt like the saltiness overpowered the soup flavor; it wasn’t the kind of rich, fragrant broth I was expecting.

As for the ramen and other toppings, they were acceptable and not too bad.

The rich broth of the ramen boy is unforgettable, but the premise is that you really have to like strong flavors. Those who prefer lighter dishes will definitely not enjoy this bowl. Even I, who love strong flavors, found it quite salty at first. But after one bite, it leaves a deep impression, and I can't help but want to go back for a second time.

Additionally, his mixed noodles are also very aromatic. With the addition of chicken oil, each bite is a delight.

Currently, the best chicken white soup in Taipei.
There aren't many items on the menu, but everything is delicious.
Another broth is rich and flavorful, and you can taste the sweetness of the seafood in every sip.

You can visit when there aren't any special flavors available to save a lot of unnecessary waiting time.

There are motorcycle parking spaces outside the store, but they are usually full. It's harder to find parking for cars and scooters, so you'll need to look for a spot elsewhere.
