After days of local HK food, we took a break and decided to dine at Ichiran. We had been craving for their signature Ramen since our last visit to their Shibuya (Tokyo) outlet. Although we can easily purchase their Instant Cup Noodles from Supermarkets these days, it cannot beat freshly cooked.

Almost everything including the decorations and furnishings were similar to their outlets in Japan, thus we were overwhelmed when we entered the restaurant. However, we were brought an open dining area with tables and chairs, instead of booth seatings with bamboo curtain. And so, thats one different in overall dining experience between both countries.

Ordering procedure was similar though. You get to select how Rich you want for your broth to be, Dashi Level (Seasoning Stock), Spicy level, Noodle texture and so on. I opt for a Bowl of their Classic Tonkatsu Ramen with Extra Rich broth, Strong Dashi Level, Medium Spicy, and Extra Firm Noodle (My preferred combo after trying out several options previously)

Well, my bowl of customized Ramen was served within 15 minutes and Wow, its was as delicious as what i had in Japan (as i can remember, unless my taste bud had changed).

Service wise, although the service staffs in this branch were not as enthusiastic as compared to their japanese counterpart, they were still attentive and efficient.

Overall, it was well worth the trip and queuing time of about 20 minutes.
