麺処田冶 — Restaurant in Da'an District

Refined and attention to detail and quality is what you expect from Japanese food. Ramen to the Japanese is like pho for the Vietnamese folks. The difference are the ingredients and techniques. Growing up in the west aka America. You would not call that refined or fine dining. Everything was salty sweet or fries and fatty. So when I went to Japan for the JET programme (Japan exchange and teaching )back in the turn of the century I couldn’t taste anything After being away from home for so long my palate have become refined like the food here. They use chicken broth instead of pork and bone broth. It was lighter and don’t make you feel sleepy after you eat it because it’s so heavy. Japanese owned so its they do it the traditional way. I would give it a five star but the fried food was ok and didn’t look...

Cozy Ramen restaurant with authentic "chewy" Japanese style noodles. The owner's son-in-law is a Japanese chef who brought the noodle technique to Taiwan, and you can tell the difference. This is a family run business, so they're very conscious about the quality and service. While the menu is only in Chinese, it does have pictures and Google translate works well. We had the pork, with clear broth and soy sauce broth(which was NOT too salty, another sign of quality), as well as the salad, with authentic Japanese style dressing. Both are delicious. The owner also suggested the fried chicken, but being lunch time we opted out. Will try it on our next visit. Note that seating is limited, so go a bit early, or wait for a seat. Service is quick, so...

I left 5 stars the first time I visited because the ramen was indeed very nice, but I went again recently and I feel that the food quality has decreased by A LOT. I think the broth tasted like water and salt only and the noodles felt very mushy. I feel very surprised that they offer ramen classes with that...
