came here earlier in January & took some shots with my phone (not so clear pictures).. our first impression was.. "it (the noodle) was a big bowl!!"

(left) Spicy Soup Ramen $7.5
..the soup base is good..

..the soup had a 薑醋味, which we didn't like it.. it didn't match with the 豬軟骨拉麵!!!

..with Salmon belly, deep dried shrimp, crab meat, cucumber, avocado, masago
..this combination was pretty good..
