A Taiwanese restaurant inside the food court built within the commercial facility directly connected from Kita-Ayase Station. Right out of the ticket gates into the 2nd floor of LaLaport, with the food court spreading out from there, making it a convenient location. There is quite a spacious area with table seating and several counter seats with power outlets, and there are also shops like McDonald's, Mister Donut, and a famous tsukemen restaurant. I felt it would be a very convenient space if you lived nearby. The menu featured various Taiwanese specialties like Xiaolongbao, Lu Rou Fan, Danzi noodles, etc. I ordered: 【Xiaolongbao and Lu Rou Fan Set】1,250 yen + Beer Called around 5 minutes later. It is a set of a bamboo steamer containing 3 freshly steamed Xiaolongbao, ginger soy sauce, pork ribs, lu rou, boiled egg, takuan, boiled cabbage, Lu Rou Fan topped with chopped cilantro, and pickled bamboo shoots. The Xiaolongbao had chewy skin filled with soup-rich filling, strong enough not to break when pinched with chopsticks while still being soft, piping hot, and delicious. The soup was a basic clear pork broth (seishin), with a taste where you could directly feel the umami and sweetness of the pork without any weird aftertaste. As for the Lu Rou Fan, personally I could hardly feel spices like star anise, and furthermore, cilantro which I dislike was finely scattered making it hard to avoid, it took a very long time to eat and was a bit disappointing. Lately, more restaurants have been asking about the presence of cilantro, so I had let my guard down. Overall the taste was delicious, and I thought it was an authentic place for a restaurant inside a food court. If I come near here again next time, I'd like to come and have the noodles.

『Kita-Ayase LaLaport Food Court』 LaLaport 2nd floor directly connected from Kita-Ayase Station! ③ Taiwanese Food Restaurant 886 Shokudo I ordered the Taiwan Xiaolongbao Noodle Set. The soup had a strong flavor and good aroma, but unfortunately, the noodles were stuck together and couldn't be untangled. The Xiaolongbao was good because the sauce was refreshing, but it lacked the soup inside the meat filling typical of Xiaolongbao. ⭐︎I thought the noodles should be properly untangled, and the Xiaolongbao should have solid soup inside.

Since it's in a food court, you can eat without waiting unless it's peak hours. The spicy tantanmen had the charm of strong spices rather than spicy heat, with a clean aftertaste and tingling sensation remaining in the mouth, making it close to local food. The meat juice of the dumplings was good! It was also nice that the set menu had a diverse composition so you can choose according to your preference~

Located in the food court of LaLaport Kita-Ayase. Both the Xiaolongbao and Paigu noodles were delicious.

Visited around 1:30 PM on Sunday. Since it's a food court, I didn't expect much from the taste and somehow ordered Tantanmen. Maybe they were short-staffed, but I had to wait close to 30 minutes to receive the food. While waiting, looking at the shop, the tableware return area was not cleaned up, causing continuous trouble for people trying to return items, and the staff panicked and received them by hand. The staff placed the received tableware with the tray on the floor inside the kitchen, making me think I will never order here again. The taste of the Tantanmen was bland and mediocre.
