Location: Xinyi District, Taipei City

At first, I was watching videos made by others and remembered this place. I thought that being recommended by Michelin for three consecutive years shouldn't be wrong. It's located beneath A4 of Shin Kong Mitsukoshi in the Xinyi District. I've always felt that A4 has quite a few luxury brands and seems relatively high-priced, so I was filled with anticipation when I went there. 🤣🤣

🌟 Prosciutto Cheese Ramen
I think this is the signature dish of the restaurant. If you come here, this is a must-order item. The prosciutto is quite salty, more than expected. I originally thought of having a bite of prosciutto and then a bite of ramen, but it was a bit difficult to separate the prosciutto into bite-sized pieces, which was somewhat disappointing. The cheese is a very rich mozzarella. I wasn’t a huge fan of dipping it like that, so I ended up adding it to the broth, which gave the broth a cheesy flavor. But honestly, it didn’t taste extraordinarily delicious. Plus, the price is not cheap, and the portions are quite small. Many items require an additional purchase, so I wouldn’t particularly recommend it. There are many more delicious ramen shops in Taipei. 😂😂

This restaurant boasts that it has received recommendations from the Michelin Guide in Tokyo for three consecutive years. As a ramen enthusiast, I definitely had to come and give it a try.

This place is located in the basement food court of a department store. The restaurant itself has a few seats, but you don’t necessarily have to eat inside; there are other seating options available, so there’s no wait — just order and pay.

This time I ordered the rich white chicken broth ramen. First, of course, we must talk about the broth, as it is the soul of the ramen. The score of a bowl of ramen mostly comes from the broth.

Personally, I don’t think the broth is very good. Firstly, it is overly salty; every sip is just too salty, and it hardly tastes like chicken broth. However, this place is a bit special as they add cheese, which raises the score just a little.

The toppings are also quite unique. Instead of the usual chicken or pork chashu, they use ham. At first, I was worried that the ham would be too salty, but the flavor was actually just right, making it fairly enjoyable.

Overall rating: 🌕🌕🌕🌘🌑
Dixon's Foody's cheating food, cheating and drinking, the food diary is back again!
This time we came to a well-known ramen shop in a department store in Xinyi District!

And this ramen shop originally had the title of Michelin in Tokyo, Japan.
But just because you are Michelin-starred in Japan, it doesn’t mean you are Michelin-starred in Taiwan!

Just like eating a Michelin ramen at the Singapore airport before
The result is completely unacceptable🤣🤣🤣
For details, please see my previous post🥹

Then come to this ramen shop today
Because it’s downstairs in the food court of a department store
So of course the seats are very simple
It’s basically the seating area at the bar.
And the seating area in the public space next to the food court looks like this

The menu of this ramen shop is also very simple.
Basically, there is a list of various types of ramen flavors.
Just wait and see which one the customer wants to choose and just order directly.

After ordering your meal, you will be given an electronic number plate.
Basically, it will vibrate after the ramen is ready.
You can go to the counter to pick up your meal
Therefore, it is also very similar to the ordering and pickup model of department store food courts.

From the menu, you can see that this ramen shop specializes in its signature cheese ramen.
You can see the taste of cheese ramen from the picture on the menu. The soup is one of the signatures of this restaurant.
It also comes with a large slice of ham on the side!
It looks really refreshing!

So if you don’t want to eat a big piece of ham and just want to eat cheese-flavored ramen?
You can also choose the thick-flavored ramen on the side
Then here is a simple cheese soup!

In addition, this ramen shop also offers traditional salt ramen, etc.
If you don’t want to eat a more special taste, friends
Of course, you can also choose these original ramen noodles

Then there is something special here
It has so-called sweet and sour series of ramen

It seems to use some special sour and sweet taste including grapefruit
Or some other special cooking methods or ingredients to make ramen
It also looks quite unique!

I think this ramen is quite refreshing and refreshing.
It’s not too sticky or smells too strong
I think it’s a pretty delicious ramen!

Sure enough, it’s Michelin Japan.
But I didn’t expect him to be hiding in the food court of a department store in Xinyi District
If my friend hadn’t brought me here to enjoy it
I didn’t know there was a delicious ramen restaurant here.

So friends, if you watch the movie in Xinyi District
Or after shopping
Want to eat ramen
Highly recommend to come here to eat
And there were not many crowds that day
It doesn’t have to be like other well-known ramen shops outside.
You need to queue up outside to get it!

⭐️Food section
👉Special Yuzu Ramen $330
I chose Yuzu Ramen for its sweet and sour taste.
This yuzu ramen tastes very refreshing
Regardless of whether it has a slightly sour grapefruit taste
But the whole soup and the combination of noodles are very good
Because even if it’s sour and sweet
But it doesn’t feel greasy or overly seasoned
It tastes very delicious

You can finish the whole bowl without feeling tired of this ramen.
It’s a taste that I like very much
So, if you like some sweet and sour ramen noodles,
I highly recommend this flavor!

👉Thick white chicken soup ramen $300
This thick chicken soup ramen
Basically, it’s combined with the cheese soup that this restaurant specializes in.
Served with chicken soup ramen
The cheese soup here is very thick.
This is considered very sincere.
Overall, it tastes pretty good.

The cheese flavor is very rich and the soup is very delicious
But if you are interested in this kind of smell that is too strong,
It is recommended that you also add a little water into it.
After mixing, the taste will be lighter and more suitable.

👉Dessert
The pudding dessert is a very amazing dish
Desserts that don’t seem surprising at first
But it tastes very delicious when eaten
The whole pudding is soft and tender
But it’s not too sweet!

Compared to the ramen in this store
I think desserts are also a very big selling point!
I highly recommend that friends who order here must add some dessert🤣🤣🤣

⭐️Drink section
Because I didn’t order any special drinks here that day.
Just drink the unlimited boiled water provided here
So I won’t comment too much.

⭐️Atmosphere part
Because the store is an underground food court in a department store.
So the overall atmosphere is very much like an underground food court.
And because it is not independent and has its own sense of restaurant
But directly at the counter next to the aisle
So overall the atmosphere is just ordinary.

Most of the seating areas are public food court seats.
The rest is the bar area next to the counter.

So it feels more like you can just come here, eat ramen and then leave.
Then you can find a seat and sit down before ordering.
Then go to the counter to order food and receive the electronic vibrating number plate
Just wait until the meal is ready and then go to the counter to pick it up.

So this is just the atmosphere of a basic department store small gourmet counter.
Just check whether the seating area near you is very noisy.
It affects your atmosphere!

⭐️Service section
Basically just like a regular food court
The clerk here is just taking your order.
And I won’t specially deliver food to you.
So there is no special service here🤣🤣🤣

⭐️Price section
A bowl of ramen costs around $300
I think this price is pretty good in Taipei at the moment.
I think it goes well with its taste.

Therefore, I think the price is quite reasonable.

⭐️Location section
The food court inside the department store in Xinyi District
Of course it’s quite impressive in terms of location.
After all, there are other food street businesses nearby.

But if you especially want to come here to eat ramen
Of course, you have to walk from the MRT station to this department store in the center of Xinyi District
Then go downstairs to the food court
Only then can I find this ramen shop

So usually I might not come especially for him.
But after visiting Xinyi District in East District or finishing errands
You can drop by and eat here.

⭐️Summary
For a ramen shop opened in a department store food court
I think his quality is very good
Basically it’s the king of food courts!

So if you are very interested in this ramen shop
I really recommend eating here
Because he really lived up to the so-called Japanese Michelin title!
