One of my friends has been raving about this place. I thought that it was time to come here and give it a try. Noodles are one of my absolute favourite foods, so I was very much looking forward to this lunch. Lets just say that I was not disappointed. We were greeted by a nice waiter, who politely asked us how many of us were dining. We were then lead to our table and allowed to peruse the menu. The overall atmosphere of the place is very warm. There is sufficient lighting which is perfect for u
I think a menu plays a vital part to a restaurants success. I would give this menu special mention. First of all it has very good photos for all of its main noodle dishes. The layout is easy to follow, and the colour scheme is not distracting. Each item of food is accompanied with a well detailed account of the dish. This I believe is excellent because it really allows you to thoroughly decided what you want to eat. The descriptions are tailored to make you hungry and this is very good. They also offer a special seasonal menu, which also caught my eye in terms of its construction and appeal. After perusing the menu, we ordered our food. The waiter who took our order was very friendly and gave us additional comments about which dish he recommended. For example he explained to us that we could add an extra egg if we wanted at an additional cost. Moreover, he even explained that we could specify how we wanted our noodles to be cooked. They could be softer, normal, or even harder, which I thought was very thoughtful of him to provide us with these options to make our meal more pleasant. We placed our orders and about 10 minutes later the first bowl of hot noodles arrived. The waiter announced the dish very quickly in a mumbled tone, and we did not comprehend what he was saying. He then repeated himself, but we still did not know which dish he was referring to. We then proceeded to open the menu and asked him to point to which one it was. He did, but as he placed the bowl down, he rolled his eyes. I thought that this was very unprofessional and immediately left me with a very sour impression of the restaurant. However, the smell of the noodles quickly changed my opinion.
This was the most expensive noodle on the menu and rightly so. It comes with an egg that is raw on the inside, seaweed, sliced pork and spring onions. The dish was served piping hot, which is always a good sign. I wished that they shredded the seaweed so that I could have spread it throughout the soup. The egg was cooked beautifully and when I broke the egg white the yolk came streaming out in a never ending river of rich goodness. I ordered the noodles to be cooked normally and they were very tender and delicious. The meat was good and very lean. My friend thought the soup was very good, but personally I found the seasoning a bit overdone. It was very hot and full of flavour though.
This was a more simple noodle. The noodles are very thin and it is served with lean slices of pork. My friend especially liked the fresh soybean sprouts and spring onions. She ordered the noodles to be cooked normally too, and found them to very smooth. The soup was hot and had less flavour than the previous dish. The amount of noodles is very filling. You can also order extra noodles at an additional costs if you are still hungry.
This dish was the special dish of the month. It looked very appealing from the menu. This time the noodles were very thick. The were much more chewy than the other ones and had a nice texture to them too. There is a very heavy miso flavour to the soup that is served on the side. The noodles come with minced pork and a spicy sauce. My friend asked if they could not add the spicy sauce to the noodles directly, and they happily complied and put the sauce on the side in a separate bowl. The concept of this dish is that you mix a little bit of the soup and the spicy sauce with the noodles and minced pork to get a very special combination and flavour. The menu says "Every delicious mouthful of the unique flavoured Spicy Tsukemen brings your taste buds a whole new experience that you'll never forget." I would have to agree with this wholeheartedly. This dish is a must try, and my friend has already said she will come back for more and more. The only complaint was that the soup was not as hot as it should have been.
Overall, a great lunch. The only disappointment was the very rude waiter. However, this was remedied by a very friendly waiter who kept checking on us, and asking how we were finding everything. We greatly appreciated this. Moreover, this waiter found my water bottle which I had accidentally left on the table and ran out to find me after I had left the restaurant. This is what I call good service. I was internally grateful. I will definitely be coming back very soon to try the many other noodle dishes this fine establishment has to offer.
题外话/补充资料：
This restaurant gets very busy from 12:00-13:30 as this is peak lunch hour rush in Admiralty. However, if you come before 11:50, you will definitely have a seat. I would suggest coming earlier (if you are not working) as the table wait time during lunch hour can be up to 45 minutes.
