This noodle joint is located on Amoy Street, an alleyway in Wan Chai between Queen's road East and Johnston Road.
Previously this joint used to be 波記車仔撈麵 a small noodle shop that seated about 10 people.
It can now sit more people probably about 14 with tables closely packed to each other.
The inside has been decorated nicely with a hint of Japanese style.
The style of the food here is roughly the same as before, featuring noodles and grilled items but now serving Ramen noodles.
Each table was laid with simple tablecloth, and laid with a bamboo mat, black chopsticks and spoon, and basic condiments.
This is the second ramen shop to open in Wanchai, after the opening of 幸亭拉麵 which is seated outside.
Although both these joints do not serve the thin noodles like butao, this one is much cheaper, but the soup at 幸亭拉麵 is better.
It costs $38 for a bowl of noodles with a choice of pork bone broth or miso broth, and a choice of udon or ramen.
The presentation of the noodles on the menu is similar to Ajisen served with meat, shittaake mushrooms, bonito flakes, sweetcorn, bamboo shoots, sesame, enoki mushrooms, and the pink and white slice.
The ordering sheet is a piece of paper with choices to tick split up into three parts, noodles, grilled items and drinks.
It has English and Chinese.
As they have newly opened, all noodles come with green tea which costs $5 a la carte.
I didn’t try the grilled fish, but the staff said it was about 30cm in length, which was true from the picture of one that was eaten by someone else.
Overall, I felt this was a localised version of Ramen. The price of the noodles was very reasonable at $38 per bowl.
