JapaneseRamenTonkotsuJapanese-style

Qizheng (柒鉦) is a compact Jing'an ramen counter run by a former hotel chef using a recipe from his family's 30-year-old noodle shop in Niigata, Japan. The narrow corridor-style bar is considered one of the most atmospheric authentic ramen shops in the district, praised by City News Service and Papermedia for its eggy alkaline ribbons and ultra-rich yet not-overfilling tonkotsu broth.

About
Opened by a former hotel chef whose recipe traces directly to a decades-old family ramen shop in Niigata, Qizheng is the kind of small, soul-driven ramen counter that earns repeat customers through consistency rather than spectacle. The corridor-style bar counter—guests and the ramen chef face to face—replicates the intimate atmosphere of a Japanese ramen specialist. The signature Original Ramen (¥47) features ultra-rich tonkotsu broth balanced well enough to avoid heaviness, paired with the restaurant's proudest element: hand-pulled eggy alkaline noodles described as ribbon-like, chewy, and deeply satisfying. The Yuzu Black Pepper variety (¥47) offers a citrus-herb riff on the same base. City News Service named it among Shanghai's top ten ramen shops, while Papermedia called it 'the most atmospheric ramen shop in Shanghai' and praised its Japanese-style tantanmen as exceptional.
