I happened to be in Fanling during lunchtime, so I stopped by this place by chance. I came in just around 12pm, it was not so full, about 30%, as one person I sat at the 'bar' table lining the kitchen area. The waiter came to me quickly, I ordered ramen with sukiyaki beef and a soft drink. I could observe the chef as he was working on my, as well as other, orders. A few minutes passed and the bowl of steaming ramen has been placed infront of me.I found the noodles tasty and better than the usual
I found the noodles tasty and better than the usual thing at shopping mall food courts or chain restaurants like Ajisen ramen. I even had a few spoons of the soup, which was not as over-salted and over-spiced as in many other cases. I ordered the 'middle' size bowl (they only have two options: small or middle, no big), which was just about right for me, but if I was really hungry, it could have been bigger. Also, comparing the size to the price, it is not that cheap. Maybe a bit better quality.
I enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant, which had a kind of homey feel compared to the overcrowded chain restaurant atmosphere. It seemed that it is run by a family - there was an older guy, two older ladies and one younger lady as a waiter. There was a bookshelf/library with japanse comics for decoration, and they really played jazz music, which was a nice change. I can imagine that my impression could have been quite different if the restaurant was packed with people, but it wasn't ... so I can recommend it, if you don't mind the slightly higher price.
