Special Ramen in Japan
Hello! Thank you always for correcting and commenting everyone.
I went to a ramen shop called GO-MEN (豪ーめん in Japanese) together with friends in my university, and ate a special ramen that is also called GO-MEN there. The following picture shows it (before and after eating). Shops of the GO-MEN are only in Iwate, Japan where I'm currently living. The GO-MEN has a characteristic that amount of noodle and topped meat and vegetables (bean sprouts, onion and cabbage) is very large. When I visited this shop for the first time about five years ago, I was not able to eat all of it. However, I can eat it easily now. haha
Then, it is possible to increase amount of their topping. The GO-MEN shown in the following picture is thing after amount of vegetables is increased. Moreover, it is possible to increase further amount of their topping than the GO-MEN in picture. Even I can't eat all in that case. LOL
Although the GO-MEN is very large in quantity than general ramen, it has a very good taste. So, when you come to Iwate in Japan, please try to eat GO-MEN!

Special Ramen in Japan
Hello! Thank you always for correcting and commenting everyone.I went to a ramen shop called GO-MEN (豪ーめん in Japanese) together with friends in my university, and ate a special ramen that is also called GO-MEN there. The following picture shows it (before and after eating). GO-MEN shops can only be found in in Iwate, Japan, where I'm currently living. The GO-MEN is known for having a lot of toppings, like meat and vegetables, with the noodles. When I visited this shop for the first time about five years ago, I was not able to eat all of it. However, I can eat it easily now. haha
Still, it is possible to get more toppings. The GO-MEN shown in the following picture has extra toppings. Moreover, it is possible to increase further amount of their topping than the GO-MEN in picture. Even I can't eat it all in that case. LOL
Although the GO-MEN is served in a much larger portion, it has a very good taste. So, when you come to Iwate in Japan, please try to eat GO-MEN!

Yellow = grammar or spelling mistake
Teal = changed to sound more like a native speaker
Lavender = meaning unclear or does not translate well between languages
I think the grammar point 2 is best translated as "there is a lot of ____" or "many ____" rather than "large in quantity." This phrase sounds very formal and awkward in English, except in very limited cases. For the most part, when you translate this, I would use "a lot of" or "many", such as "you can buy many toppings" or "there are a lot of extra toppings to add."

I searched about Totto Ramen on Google and thus saw a picture of it because even though I'm Japanese, I didn't knew it. Totto Ramen looks so delicious! Don't worry about weight, you should eat ramen if you like it. (excuse me, is "to pack in too much weight" mean "get fat"??)

That looks so good but it might be a bit too heavy for me. Japanese food became so popular in New York in recent years that ramen shops are sprouting one after another. My favorite ramen-ya is located in midtown Manhattan called Totto Ramen(鳥人ラーメン). Their specialty ramen has chicken-based soup that has a rich flavor. I enjoy eating ramen but I try not to do it too often because I'm afraid I'll start to pack in too much weight.
