Quel plaisir de manger un ramen à la fois simple, relativement bon marché & délicieux. Notre deuxième visite en quelques mois. Cette seconde tentative a surpassé la première. Tonkotsu bouillon crémeux, oeuf parfaitement cuit, chashu généreux. Le service est très agréable. L'ambiance est apaisante. Je pense que nous allons devenir des habitués. Merci
The server was attentive. We set by the windows & found it to be stuffy, there doesn't seem to be any air circulation. There were some spider webs by the AC & window. I ordered Uchiha supposedly quite spicy. It wasn't spicy but overall a decent Ramen. But the tantan that my friend ordered had no flavour at all. The noodles tasted blend.

Je suis une accroc des ramens , bol bien fournis, nouilles aux oeufs excellentes, le bouillon était crémeux & goûteux , le seul bémol était que j'avais beaucoup de gras sur mon porc...mais dans l'ensemble j'ai bien aimé l'endroit parsemé de petits chats en figurine.

Ramen noodles were perfectly al dente, chicken broth was flavourful without too much salt (the vegetarian broth could've used a touch more along with spice). Prices were very reasonable.
Small place, very cozy & quiet. Service is very fast, server is very polite. Food is very delicious, tasty. My new fave is their takoyaki balls. Also loved their Matcha dessert but very small, I wanted more... Will definately keep going back. 🥰
Came here with a friend & had a good enough time. I ordered the tonkotsu & we shared the takoyaki. The ramen was good, I liked everything about it, except the broth which I thought lacked flavor. Restaurant was awkwardly quiet & everyone can hear everyone else's conversation. Overall, it was a sold ramen but unfortunately many other better places in Montreal. Personally, won't be coming back here but that's not to say that this place wasn't good.
