Ulva Ramen — Restaurant in Hong Kong Island

Randomly came across this restaurant while scrolling through Google Maps. Intrigued, I decided to visit it twice. The first time, I went with my sis, and the second time, I brought my entire family along. . Both my sis and I ordered the Spicy Fish Broth Tsukemen with Pork for our first visit. The fish broth had a delightful bonito aroma, its spiciness complemented the tsukemen nicely. The pork portion was generous and it was not fatty at all. Additionally, the egg yolk was runny.

For the second visit, we got Grilled Eggplant, Fish Broth Tsukemen with Pork, Makese Special Noodle.

The Grilled Eggplant had a savory flavour that was enhanced by the accompanying sauce.

The Fish Broth Tsukemen with Pork had a milder taste compared to the spicy version. Nevertheless, the fish broth was still rich, providing a satisfying flavour without feeling too heavy.

As for the Makase Special Noodle, it included cucumber, adding a refreshing element to the dish. The broth had a lighter and more refreshing profile compared to the others we tried. . The restaurant had a small seating area, limiting the number of available seats. The price of the noodles was quite reasonable. . The staff were incredibly kind-hearted and nice. The owner's son actively participated in helping out at the restaurant and talked with us. Despite accidentally breaking some glasses, the owner handled the situation with patience and love, without scolding his son. My sis and I truly appreciated their kindness which created a...

It is a tiny Japanese noodle restaurant, but it pretty much resembles ramen restaurants in Japan in terms of its setting. An open kitchen and a long bartop table blend together. Customers can see how the noodle is made.

It only offers 3 types of つけ麺 (沾麵) and a few appetizers on its menu. I took the recommendation from the manager and ordered its Special つけ麺 which came with a few marinated lotus root on that day.

The soup was very tasty and full of the dried fish flavor even though it was a relatively thin soup. Mixing the noodle with the soup made it a great dish.

The portion of the noodle was not small. Enough for 1 person even if you are hungry.

After finishing the noodle, refilled the soup base with clear broth. The soup base then became clear and the taste thinner to refresh the mouth.

The service was great, too. The staff members were keen to help and provide recommendations.

Another visit at lunch hour. It was full house. The food was still the same. Yummy. Price remained...

Probably the best ramen shop in the area between North Point and Quarry Bay. I won't say I've tried them all but I think I had around 10 ramen shops and this by far is my go-to. Only 3 choices including a daily/seasonal special. Not much to choose from but the quality makes up for it.

Staff and service are of good standards, friendly and quick to serve, the interior is simple and clean, minimal decor but a small touch of wooden aesthetics to convey some Japanese influence.

Definitely recommend to those who are looking for a quick ramen stop. Would definitely be...
