An exceptional product clearly prepared with pride & quality.

The Tonkotsu pork is the best that I have experienced. Slow cooked, lightly seared, tender & bursting with flavour.

Service was friendly. Beverage options include local Japanese-style beer. Several sake choices are offered.

The ramen ingredients were well balanced & tasty. Noodles seemed fresh & had great consistency.

The bar bench at the front window offered pleasant people-watching on a busy Sunday.

Bilingual service.

Clean affordable ramen shop. Noodles are not handmade & the tonkatsu broth today was a little thin , lacked fat & depth & needed tare. I'd be willing to bet the milky color came from milk & not pork bones that had been boiled for hours. But it was good. The egg was cold , like fridge cold & the chashu was very thin. The gyoza was devine.
They're tonkatsu is probably as good as it's going to get with dry noodles & the broth. & if your OK with that it's just fine . Service was excellent & the place is modern & clean.

Superb! Can you imagine flavorful broth without being salty? I recommend the thick noodle. Pork had good grill flavor & was lean. I would come back for the ramen but probably pass on the fried chicken & gyoza next time.

"One of the best ramen spots in Canada! The flavors are exceptional - the mushroom adds a delightful salty touch, the broth perfectly balances savory & sweet, & the pork is incredibly tender. They also offer a delicious vegetarian option. Highly recommend!"

I walked in on a very very cold & stressful day. It was a very clean & welcoming place. Although almost all of their broths contain pork, they have a veggie broth & chicken broth. Be sure to ask for it if you don't eat pork. I tried the chicken ramen & it LITERALLY healed my soul. It was so simple, comforting, healthy, fresh, flavourful & at a perfect temperature. I wish they had a brunch in Toronto. 100% recommended. All the best to their business.

Best Ramen shop I've been to. Good price & good food quality. It was served very quickly & broth was very flavorful, probably homemade & not instant powder. Waiters were nice & pork was tender.

I tried their ramen for the first time at the ramen ramen fes 2024 opening. They had a kiosk & I got the classic tonkatsu. The broth was flavourful, the noodles perfectly cooked, the grilled pork was amazingly tender. Would absolutely go back again

The food is perfect for what it is. All the ingredients are cooked exactly as they should be. The eggs are soft boiled, the roasted pork is moist & the pork bone broth is deeply delicious. The mushrooms are sweet & spicy & the chili threads are just hot enough. I don't think the Ramen can actually be improved upon.
