AI Spot Summary
The cold noodles in the restaurant are particularly popular in summer, with a unique chewiness and a texture similar to konjac. The nanban fried chicken rice bowl performs excellently; the fried chicken is not greasy and is paired with a sweet and sour nanban sauce, which is just right in flavor. The rich chicken broth ramen has average soup and noodles, and the pork chashu is also of ordinary quality.
The restaurant environment is spacious, but the indoor temperature is a bit high, and the air conditioning effect needs improvement. It is suitable for enjoying refreshing meals in the hot summer. There are quite a few Japanese customers in the store, adding a bit of Japanese atmosphere.
Customers need to use the QR Code to order and pay at the counter. Although there are staff reminders, the process is somewhat unintuitive, and there is room for improvement in the service.
Reviews
I happened to pass by Taipei Main Station at noon and was struggling with which restaurant to choose when I saw a ramen shop with Japanese people (I heard them speaking) waiting in line, so I followed and queued up to eat.
The shop was quite spacious, and I waited for about ten minutes to get in, which isn’t exaggerated at all. When I entered, about half of the customers were Japanese, which made me a bit curious about what kind of magic this restaurant had to attract so many Japanese people.
The restaurant uses a QR code for ordering, but after ordering, there was only one option to check out at the counter.
This time I ordered the rich chicken soup ramen. First, of course, I took a sip of the soul of the ramen—the soup base. It wasn’t as delicious as I imagined; it was quite ordinary, but certainly not bad.
The noodles and the pork char siu were just average. Overall, I might still eat here again when I'm at Taipei Main Station, but I wouldn’t make a special trip for it.
The store learned from the Taipei MRT ramen map is located on the second floor food court of Taipei Main Station. Although it is named "奥特拉面" (Aotela Ramen), you need to look for the sign that says "RAMEN ULTRA."
The restaurant is relatively spacious, but it tends to be a bit warm inside, and there is no special air conditioning. After being shown to a table by the staff, you must use a QR code to place your order and then go to the counter to pay before the food is served. Although the staff reminds you, it is not very intuitive.
