The flavour of the ramen was good and I really liked the miso eggs, but the chashu was fairly bitter from the char and eventually made the broth bitter as well the longer it sat. We waited around 30 minutes to receive 2/3 of our appetizers and maybe another 15 for the ramen, and we had to ask for our 3rd appetizer later on. I really liked the takoyaki but the gyoza and chicken karaage were just okay flavour-wise. They might have been short staffed this day, but I’ve heard good things about their Queen St W location so I’d be willing to try again.
I was excited to try this place as soon as I saw it opened but was pretty disappointed after visiting. Although the interior was well designed and clean, the wait for the food took excessively long considering there was only four guest in total, including me. Furthermore, the soup broth tasted bland yet overly salty and the waiter was surprisingly rude as if we were getting in his way. I hoped this could be a new ramen spot but the ramen chain behind them; Ajisen Ramen, is better in price, service and quality between the two.
Came here Sunday for lunch. There were not many people and we didn’t have to wait to get seated. Food arrived quickly and the ramen broth (for both golden kome and silver shiro) are a bit salty for me. I prefer Silver Shiro because it’s lighter and less salty. The tempura was one of the best I’ve had, and the cha-shu was well seasoned. Lastly, the chicken karaage is average. I recommend the tempura (fried shrimp) and cha-shu.
Not bad! They really know how to fry, i'd say it was a good meal. Portion is small, but for 5 bucks I was pretty satisfied. 3/5!
