On a Saturday date with my love...
There was a queue for this ramen restaurant, and since we were hungry, we decided to give it a try. I was 99% sure that I won't be satisfied because so far no ramen tastes better than Marutama or Ajisen. Those that I have tried before have a rather strong taste and are mostly too salty for my liking.

The wait was not very long, and we were seated down comfortably. The shop is very spacious.There were two pieces of paper for us to choose our ramens. After making a choice on which flavored stock, we can add on toppings or noodles by ticking in the boxes. You can also choose your level of spiciness, hardness of noodles (I like) and amount of seasoning. There is light, normal and heavy taste too. Basically, it's like you can customize your bowl of ramen! The other sides we wanted from the menu were written down by the waitress on the paper.
While we waited for the food, we saw that other tables have containers of beansprouts. It is similar to those side dishes we get to eat in Korean cuisines. We noticed that they only serve the beansprouts after your noodles are served. The wait for the food was rather long, considering the limited number of people in the store only. Our carbonated green tea is served first, not bad tasting.
Our plate of gyoza comes second. They look very mushy and out of shape. In fact, the gyozas are very oily although the taste of the meat is okay. The outer skin is too soft and not crispy. There was only white vinegar, and dipping the dumplings in black vinegar would taste better.
Our noodles arrive after a short period of time. We both ordered spicy tonkotsu ramen with egg (His is called special, with extra toppings of meat). Bf ordered a topping of extra half noodles, but the amount of noodles in his bowl doesn't look much different from mine. The hardness of the noodles is the same, even though I requested for harder noodles. But I like their noodles because it is very chewy and QQ. The soup has a very bad burnt taste and it is too strong for my liking. The half boiled egg is not bad, but it is spoiled by the soup's taste. I find the char siew nice and lean too. Quite a big piece. The spiciness of the soup comes from a ball of marinated mincemeat (similar to Ajisen). The mincemeat by itself tastes really frozen and disgusting. There are also these white things around that look like fats.
Halfway through eating the noodles, we realized our container of beansprouts is still not given to us HAHA. So we had to ask for it. When we asked whether the half noodle was actually added already, the staff didn't get back to us until we asked a second time.
I would not go back again, definitely. The food doesn't taste good. I didn't take any pictures of the food, but you can visit their website.
Overall experience: 2/5.
