Located near Jingan MRT Station in New Taipei City, Hidden Flavor Ramen is a local favorite. In September 2024, the shop started using Colega AI to manage its social media. With AI-powered posts, optimized images, and performance tracking, the restaurant’s Instagram reach skyrocketed in just a few months, bringing a noticeable boost in weekday customer traffic.
