April 2026 Had the regular-sized Zhajiangmian with Lu Rou Fan added for an extra 300 yen. The Zhajiangmian flavor was something I really liked and it was delicious. There was a big chunk of bok choy right on top, which was also delicious. Since I don't know the authentic taste of Lu Rou Fan, I'm not sure if what I had was correct, but the meat seasoning was lighter than it looked. While being better than being overly salty and spicy, I might have liked it a bit more if it had a slight sweetness? The total bill was 1100 yen, but I was satisfied ☺️ Other dishes caught my eye, so I'd like to visit again.

A Taiwanese restaurant located on National Route 310 in Ohnoshiba. There is no dedicated parking lot. Inside is bright, with 5 counter seats, one table for 4, and several seats on the second floor. You can enjoy popular Taiwanese dishes like Lu Rou Fan, noodles, and side dishes. The seasoning isn't too strong, and you can adjust it yourself using five-spice powder or similar condiments. The owner runs the place by himself, but his attentiveness is flawless. Cost performance is also pretty decent.

Had Taiwanese ramen, mapo tofu, pig's ears, and boiled pork with garlic sauce. Everything was delicious. The garlic sauce is superb, the mapo tofu has a tingling spiciness, and the Taiwanese ramen, despite reviews saying it's light, has a good flavor. A homely restaurant that makes you want to visit again. Also, I wish they had highballs lol

I really wanted to eat hot and sour soup noodles, so I headed all the way out to Sakai. The exterior of the shop looks relatively new, and I think the interior is clean as well. As for the crucial taste, when eating just the starchy sauce part, it had a moderate acidity and just the right amount of spiciness, which I thought was delicious. However, when eaten mixed with the noodles, strangely enough, the flavor was barely perceptible. It finally felt like I was eating hot and sour soup noodles only after drizzling the black vinegar provided on the table. I haven't tried the other dishes so I can't say, but just looking at the hot and sour soup noodles, it feels like a flavor lacking in punch.

While there are countless shops calling themselves Chinese restaurants, very few call themselves Taiwanese restaurants. I visited after reading Google reviews because I wanted to eat Taiwanese Lu Rou Fan. When I was hesitating between a small or large portion, the store owner brought out empty bowls of both sizes and explained it to me politely. Taste of the toppings was solid. Five-spice powder was served separately, allowing you to adjust it to your preference. You could change the flavor as you progressed with your meal. I also had the hot and sour soup, which could be adjusted to taste with the separately provided black vinegar and chili oil. The black vinegar in particular was very delicious. Since I had leftover rice from the Lu Rou Fan, I ordered a small dish of pickled cucumbers, which was also delicious and I finished every last bite. You could taste the sincere personality of the owner through the food.
