Yamaguchi Shouten — Restaurant in Hong Kong

A small Raman shop 🍜with a real Japanese 🇯🇵 chef located at the entrance of the famous tourism spot Temple Street . We ordered the basic pork broth Raman ($88) and a “unique” side dish Cat Rice 貓飯 （$38）.

Would I return for more? Very unlikely, not at that price point for that small serving. I’d rather hop on a plane to Japan and be spoilt for better and...

Paid my first visit on a weekday lunchtime time. There were 5 to 6 people queueing up. After around 15 minutes, I was seated. There were less than 20 seats in this Japanese ramen restaurant. Most of them were bar top seats with 2 to 3 small tables.

Placed order via mobile phone. The menu was simple with less than 10 ramen options.

Pick the chef recommended Scallops Pork Bone soup ramen. Wow, the broth was very yummy but not salty, excellent. The thickness was perfect. It came with 2 small Scallops which were really small.

The 2 slices of charsiu was ok. The ramen can carry the soup but the portion was...
