Tonkotsu Shoyu Gyuniku Ramen (119k) 6.5/10
Out of all the ramen menu, I managed to pick the one with thick noodle (which I loathe). Besides that, the dish was good, generous servings of proteins, savoury, and quite rich pork bone broth. Beef slices had too much fatty parts for my liking. Also, I don’t understand why they chose to mix and match different meats for their broth and toppings for some of these ramen, as it seems that the flavour would be more harmonious if they went with same meats.

Spicy chicken ramen. Much prefer the noodle on this ramen as it’s smaller and springier. The black ramen itself didn’t really taste any different compared to regular noodle apart from the visual appearance. Taste wise, the broth had more richness vs XO kuromen, and fair bit spicier vs the tantanmen. I think having pork slices (like the ones served in xo kuromen) instead of chicken would have suited this dish better.

Broth was way too light for me. I believe they used the same chicken base as their chintan ramen. Pork slices on top was quite good.

Eight Tantanmen (79k) 7/10
Make sure to mix this well since the sesame was mostly at the bottom. Since I have quite high heat tolerance this was not spicy enough for me. Still, I would say this is my favourite out of all the ramen since I have a fondness for nutty and spicy flavour.

Pork Nanban (69k) 7.5/10
Best sides out of everything we got. Pork was juicy and almost with a sticky glaze, quite a noticeable mirin smell. Nanban sauce was very rich. Funnily enough I prefer this over most of the ramens we got.

Tetsunabe Gyoza (69k) 4/10
Way too oily and not crispy enough. Skin was also too thick for my liking. Portion is also smaller irl vs the way it looks on picture.

Did not try this as I am not a fan of braised pork belly. Friend said it was not good.
