THE STORY

The story behind this place

A broth style founded by a Japanese chef

Japanese chef Tanaka Hiromi established Hiro’s early flavor foundation. He valued long simmering for rich yet smooth Fukuoka-style stock, a direction the brand retains. The Xindian shop expresses it through pork-bone paitan and seared chashu.

✨ AI Quick Take

Hiro's らぁ麵Kitchen 新店店 serves solid Japanese ramen centered on Fukuoka-style tonkotsu paitan: rich but not heavy, clearly styled and steadily made. Near Dapinglin Station, it offers Japanese character without a long trip. Broth, noodles, and chashu show sound fundamentals and invite repeat visits.

Uncle’s take: Before adding anything, drink the original broth. The chef simmered it for hours; turning it into a garlic pool in three seconds seems unfair.
Setting and dining atmosphere:Most seats line the open kitchen, putting noodle cooking and chashu searing in view. It suits solo meals and direct questions about noodles or extras. Space is not designed for large, lingering groups, and seats tighten at peak times.
Location and dining notes:At 1F, No. 5, Wenhua Road, Xindian District, New Taipei City, it is walkable from Dapinglin Station. Navigation helps first-time visitors. Closed Tuesdays; other days have separate lunch and dinner sessions with a break. Temporary closures, sellouts, and extra-noodle rules follow on-site notices.
● Tonkotsu Ramen

The entry bowl carries bone, fat, and garlic aromas, rich without pursuing salt alone. Firm noodles stand up to the heat. Drink it plain first, then add lemon; acidity opens the second half and reduces fatigue. Clear-soup fans may find it heavy, but tonkotsu lovers will understand the lip-coating pleasure.

● Chashu Ramen

More meat and seared fragrance come forward. Fire chars the chashu surface before it meets rich tonkotsu, while slices retain firm bite rather than falling apart. Save lemon for midway if richness builds. It satisfies meat lovers with appetite; smaller eaters need not order for bravado.


● Japanese Curry Rice

A practical alternative or extra staple, its thick Japanese curry clings to rice and differs from tonkotsu. Sharing is easier than one person finishing both. It is a familiar ramen-shop companion, not a random Western curry. Ask about daily supply and rice additions when ordering.

💡 Ordering Notes

First order Tonkotsu Ramen and taste the broth before garlic or lemon. Choose Chashu Ramen for more meat; two diners can share Japanese Curry Rice. Extra noodles, rice, and daily items follow shop guidance.

  • Location:1F, No. 5, Wenhua Road, Xindian District, New Taipei City, near Dapinglin Station.
  • Type:Fukuoka-style tonkotsu ramen, chashu, and Japanese curry rice.
  • Features:Open kitchen and counter seating; lemon refreshes the latter half of rich broth.
  • Best for:Tonkotsu fans, solo diners, and nearby workers; large groups should consider the space.

📌 Editor’s Summary

Hiro's らぁ麵Kitchen 新店店 wins through honest fundamentals in broth, noodles, and chashu rather than gimmicks. For Fukuoka-style tonkotsu with Japanese character around Xindian, it belongs on the list.
