Chicken paitan ramen

The story behind the bowl

A Japanese-run, late-night counter whose dense but smooth chicken soup, careful chashu and izakaya-afterparty energy have produced one of Taipei's most durable cult followings—thousands of reviews rather than a brief social-media spike.

Before you go: Late service can still sell out. Check the shop's same-day notice before crossing town.
