The thin noodles takes moments to cook, so you can just order an additional noodle serving,
but don’t drink too much soup before ordering more noodles. Besides ramen stalls, there are
gyoza dumpling stall, Western-style bar stalls and more. It’s hard to pick out just one.
The stalls have a unique and strange appeal. Eating in such cozy spaces with others creates
a friendly feel of community.
