The pork in the dish is tender and fresh, and the chicken is well-seasoned, but the dipping sauce is somewhat lacking in saltiness, and the broth is a bit thin, which falls short of expectations. The fried chicken and pudding are more highly recommended.
The interior decoration of the restaurant has a Japanese style, but it plays Western music, and the air conditioning is set very low, allowing people to enjoy ramen without sweating.
The service is friendly, but the queue management needs improvement, which may cause inconvenience to customers.
From the appearance of the storefront to the bamboo chairs and wooden tables inside, the restaurant has a Japanese dining style. However, the indoor vibe is quite different, with Western music playing, such as "21" by Gracie Abrams and "Slow It Down" by Benson Boone.
The air conditioning indoors is set to 16 degrees, so you won't sweat while enjoying hot ramen.
I ordered the "Secret Recipe • Aged Seafood and Black-Boned Chicken Dipping Noodles." The pork was soft and fresh, but the saltiness was slightly lacking. When I took a large piece and put it in my mouth, the texture was substantial. The seasoning of the chicken was quite good, with a slight bounce.
The dipping sauce was thin, which was somewhat disappointing compared to my expectations. The saltiness was decent, and you can add noodles once since the initial amount served is not much. The additional noodles had a better chewiness, likely because they were freshly cooked and immediately chilled.
For those used to stronger Japanese flavors, you might need to add some of the spicy miso and other sauces on the side.
Just judging the dipping noodles, the consistency of flavor and item expectations weren’t fully met, especially since most places have thicker dipping sauces and coarser noodles to better hold onto the sauce.
This place is clearly not just a ramen shop; its strengths might lie in other menu items, as internet reviews often recommend the fried chicken and pudding. If you also add a good cup of coffee, it would be more like a tea house (Japanese café) that got sidetracked by ramen.

I think the barbecued pork and fried chicken at this restaurant are very strong.
It can be said that it is a ramen shop that is delayed by meat.
While dining, there was a girl next to me who ordered a plate of fried chicken.
I saw that I wanted to say that the meeting hasn’t come yet?
Nope, she really only ordered a plate of fried chicken and pudding.
Let’s start with my favorite fried chicken
The skin is super crispy and the gravy comes out as soon as you bite into it.
Paired with a slightly sweet secret sauce, it feels like Korean fried chicken.
Now I'm drooling while playing...T_T
The ramen noodles are thin and quite firm, which I like very much.
The soup is not very rich, but salty enough that I can drink it all.
But for chicken soup ramen, the chicken soup is not heavy.
The chicken barbecued pork is great!
In addition to being very tender, the light aroma of wine is a plus
(But I’m a little indifferent to pork)
The pudding is the kind that has a solid texture.
The version with ice cream also feels very strong.
Overall, the meal is quite satisfactory.
I deducted one star because I think the queuing process is a bit bad.
Go to the store first and say you want to wait for a table before taking a seat on the day.
When I walked in, I actually saw that the bar seats were being closed.
The clerk asked us to wait outside
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, I saw a girl walking in and not coming out again.
After waiting for another fifteen minutes, the clerk invited us in
It turned out that we were sitting at the counter seat we just saw.
And the girl who arrived later than us was already sitting there eatingㄌQQ
It’s really speechless R
