Food 2 叉燒豬骨湯拉麵, 1 菠菜, extra 溏心蛋

Taste 叉燒豬骨湯拉麵 - as we ordered two ramen, we had mixture of pork belly and roast pork ( As you can choose from pork belly or roast pork) I actually prefered the pork belly. At first I thought it would be very fat, but it had no fat at all, just seem like a thick slice of roast pork. Was definately more tasty than the thin piece of fatty roast pork. I would recommend choosing the pork belly. The ramen comes with 2 piece seaweed, meat (roast pork or pork belly), chinese fungus, spring onion, little sesame and half a boiled egg. The soup base is definately very tasty and I have never tasted a ramen soup so rich in pork bone taste. It was rather creamy and thick. But it was awfully salty. I only had a spoonful and found it so salty I could not continue to eat without drinking water. The ramen was thin ramen and too soft, not al dente enough. I did not know what the red stuff was on top but did not taste good either. The egg was good but could be better if had more taste.

Appetizer- Spinach- I ordered it after seeing it was $15, but it was definately not worth that 15 dollars even. Was hardly any spinach. Was tasteless. Had sauce on the plate but it was like separate from the spinach. Was definitely not worth it

Environment It is a little ramen restaurant with 4-5 tables, probably 20 ppl max. Really crowdy and small. Was not comfortable sitting so close to other people and hearing everybody's private conversation. Wanted to finish eating and get out of there fast!. I did quite like their interior. Wooden tables and chair. Simplicity.

Services: There was a woman giving out the ticket, she seemed like she knew what she was doing. Then later on a man came out calling numbers n kept asking wht our names was, trying match it to his sheet. Then through the door, we saw the woman n the man discussing and pointing out to us. Then again he asked us for our name we put down. Then bit later came ut pointed at us and said you are next. Leading us to think it is ready so we walked in then he said no not yet. Then later he said same thing. He did that about 5 times. Then finally we got seated. There was a 1 waitress and 1 waiter serving. No smile from both of them. Seemed to be impatient especially when taking order, no manners at all. The waiter doesnt seem to respond when you call out to him even though it is sucha TINY shop. They seemed to be very disorganized, maybe a this restaurant is still new

OVERALL: I have always been a fan of 1 ramen restaurant which is Yokozuna. They are reasonable price with HIGH QUALITY ramen. So I am biased as I will comparing this restaurant to that. But my bill came up to 173 hk dollars for 2 bowl of ramen and 1 small tiny appetizer. The ramen was soggy and small portion. There wasnt much vegetable in it, the soup was WAYYYYYYYYYY too salty. Paying for that price and for that service, not worth for a bowl of ramen. It is better than ramen place out there, as their soup is good. But not for that price!
