I stopped by for lunch, and I think the big portions might be because there’s a university nearby. I had the tantanmen — a spicy noodle dish originally from Chinese Sichuan cuisine, usually made with a sesame or peanut-based broth, minced meat, and chili oil. I’m pretty picky when it comes to tantanmen, but this one was solid. The broth was nicely creamy with that rich sesame flavour, and the spice level was about what you'd expect — not over the top, but definitely present. If you can’t handle spicy food, I wouldn’t recommend it, but for me, it hit the spot.

frequently cook mistook our ordes, for example we ordered cool but hot was given, but generally taste is not bad.

Pretty good. Long wait.

This Chinese restaurant is along 大学通り, marked by a large pig sign. It is known for its extensive menu and generous portions, but this time I ordered the ramen. The bowl arrived piled almost to overflowing with large slices of chashu, big pieces of kakuni, and toppings such as a seasoned egg, making quite a visual impact. However, once I started eating, the layer of fat covering the soup was much thicker than expected, making the whole dish quite oily. The meat toppings themselves were also very heavy, so by the time I finished, my stomach felt thoroughly weighed down. It might be good for people who like hearty dishes or lots of fat, but it may not suit everyone. The restaurant itself has an authentic, casual atmosphere, and other dishes such as fried rice interest me too, so next time I think I will order something else.
