I opted for their Madai Broth Ramen ($135 with no service charge) which broth, as stated on menu, had been simmered with some shell fish for 8 hours to create a rich and tasty broth to go with the Japanese ramen.

 When the ramen was served, one could immediately smell the strong aroma of the madai broth. The white colour of the broth is a testament that the broth was rich and rather condensed. The broth was ringing with madai goodness, and it didn’t matter if the thin pork slice or other condiments in the bowl lacked lustre in comparison. But in terms of the texture of the noodles, to me, they were rather soft, and some bite to the noodles itself would elevate the dining experience to another level. The yuzu spread on the bowl and the chopped yuzu was rather subtle in taste and didn’t quite work for me though I could understand the logic of adding some brightness to the bowl using such ingredients.

Overall, had to say the broth was pretty good and it’s quite unusual to find a madai focused Japanese noodles shop in HK. The shop is rather small and one felt a bit cramped even though we (a party of 3) were able to sit in the 4 people table by the window.
