Soba Shinn Citrus — Restaurant in Da'an District

A small ramen shop that specializes in citrus-flavored ramen.

I highly recommend the 柑橘鹽味拉麵. The citrus broth was salty, yet refreshing. The noodles were also the perfect texture, akin to al dente pasta. For people that want softer noodles, the shop was also kind enough to provide a 3 minute timer you can use to wait for the noodles to soften. The toppings were also carefully thought out. The chicken & pork chashu were peppery and provided two types of textures. The 3 types of onions not only add extra textures, but they also provide the sweetness and sharpness that gives you a break from the flavorful broth.

Be sure to come early since there was quite a wait & some items might be sold out. Even though there were some rules you have to follow, the service was pretty good. The price also isn't too expensive. Highly...

Long wait for lunch on a national holiday (Dec 31). We put our name down at 1pm and got seated ~2:30pm. Food was worth the wait. We ordered the regular citrus salt ramen with soft boil egg. It’s a very unique broth, light, balanced salt, and very flavorful. We also tried thick and thin noodle, both were good and I didn’t think the thick noodle was that soft; overall I prefer more bite so the thin noodle was better for me. The amount of instructions and guides were amusingly almost too much information but everything is very efficiently run and service is quick and effective. Since my mandarin is terrible they even helped me put in my order. Highly recommend if you want to try ramen that’s a bit more unique and local, but still...

Really cool tiny spot that gives you that classic eat and get out feel.

Going at night adds a good amount of ambiance for this spot.

We ate the classic citrus ramen and followed the instructions to let the noodles sit for a few minutes and remove the citrus before too long as it can make it bitter.

If you follow this and maybe add some chili oil we both REALLY enjoyed this. The Chashu was subtle and simplistic yet good, nothing impressive. What I did enjoy were the clams in the broth. That was a very nice and enjoyable touch that I hadn’t tried before. Noodles were interestingly harder than I’ve had before but very good.

I think the citrusy creamy broth was superb! I would absolutely eat this...
