Ichigen ramen — Restaurant in Xinyi District

We originally went to Ichiran Ramen, but were told there was a 3-hour wait, so we quickly searched for another ramen shop nearby and found this place. We only waited about 5 minutes before the waitress seated us. The aroma of the restaurant instantly reminded me of Hokkien Mee or Prawn Mee back in Malaysia. We ordered the savory noodles and rice, and we were really impressed. The portion sizes were huge, and the broth was incredibly tasty. The best part? The broth was refillable! Don’t forget to order the rice to finish off with the last spoonful of broth—it’s so delicious! The Charsiew was perfectly marinated as well. I’ll definitely be coming back for the ramen. However, the Charsiew rice with the meat was just okay. Overall, five stars for...

While waiting eagerly for our Ichiran Ramen fix, we stumbled upon this unassuming spot, and what a discovery it turned out to be! The prawn pork ramen here is an absolute game-changer.

Picture this: a velvety broth bursting with rich flavors, tender slices of pork that practically melt in your mouth. The noodles? Cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of chewiness. Each component of the dish harmonizes beautifully, creating a symphony of flavors that left us speechless. And dare I say, it even outshines Ichiran! And here's the kicker: if you're a fan of dishes like laksa, you'll be in heaven here.

If you're a ramen aficionado or simply in search of an unforgettable dining experience in Taipei, do yourself a favor and give this...

Worth a try!

Reached there on CNY Day 1 around 230pm, was informed that rice items and dumpling was not out of stock.

Ordered the original shrimp salt soup base with Taiwanese flavor. Taiwanese flavor was the lightest among the 3 but was good enough for me, it was a nice blend of the shrimp and pork broth but the shrimp flavor was stronger.

My brother had the moderate flavor and my dad had the original, they finished the soup so I guessed it was good 😛

You can request for clear soup to be added if you find your soup too salty/strong for your liking.

Do save some space for their ice cream, it was really milky sweet. I think it’s from Hokkaido milk.

Do come early if you want to try their rice items. I will come back again if I’m...
