Ramen Shop

SHOP is a Japanese ramen restaurant that became popular shortly after opening. The shop's sign is not very noticeable, so it's easy to miss if you're not paying attention. The shop has two floors: the first floor has long seats and three double seats, while the second floor has four or five four-person tables, making it perfect for small gatherings with friends or dining with close friends. However, the seats on the second floor are quite popular because you can watch the trendy Japanese chef cook while you eat, which is an amazing experience.

Gan Qi Shi

With such sincerity, it's no wonder the business is booming.
