They only sell ramen, in total you have 4 choices. It's the best one I've ever tasted. Don't forget the softboiled marinated egg in your bowl of ramen, it's amazing! Especially during office lunch hours, or dinner time, there will be a line, but usually you don't have to wait for more than 10-15 minutes, it's worth the wait. You'll spend between HK$ 100 - 120 per person, open till 11 PM.
