You really want to come there for the ramen. These noodles form the basis of all the soups, and are handmade in shop traditionally, from flour egg water and salt. Everything is complex in flavour and really cheap, eight big ones for a huge bowl of soup (and soup spoons which balance on the edge of the bowl - go and you'll see what I mean, it's very cool).
The shoyu ramen has a clear broth and really deep flavour, which is all well and good, but what's really exciting is the tantanmen (check out the picture). It's a spicy chicken and pork broth with coconut milk, and minced pork, boiled egg, bok choy and cabbage ("choy sum" vegetables), and sesame seeds. There's a really strong sesame flavour which has infused the soup and even the noodles, so much so that I have to ask if they put sesame into the actual noodles (they didn't). But is works brilliantly with the spicyness and richness of the coconut milk. It's flavourful and oh so good; you feel really satisfied and content after eating this, you know you've eaten something good. Try it!
