After trying both Kinton and Ajisen Ramen, I asked myself if there was something "even better". I looked up the Best Ramen Restaurants on BlogTO and this place was ranked #1. I had to check this place out myself.
The first time I went, I had the Spicy Tantan Ramen ($9.60). I was blown away. From the perfectly cooked thick noodles to the tender egg, every single detail of the Ramen dish is not overlooked. The second time I went I had the Miso Ramen ($9.75). Different tasting broth since it was not spicy, but the same quality that I had the first time around. Every single item in the Ramen is cooked to perfection.
In terms of portions, it's a relatively decent sized bowl for the amount you are paying. It is a little less than Kinton but the quality is miles better. The service is really friendly and fast. I had no trouble with the servers.
The pricing is reasonable too. You won't spend more than $15 unless you order alcohol beverages or extra items onto your Ramen.
The ambiance is really dim with a mixture of modern and minimalist design. Perfect for 2 people eating together/dinner dates. It gets really loud at times.
One downside to this place in the size of the restaurant and the waiting times (if you are dining with 3 or more people). It's a small restaurant and it gets really busy during the late afternoon/dinner time. I don't recommend bringing large groups of people here since you will be waiting at least 10 minutes (outside the restaurant) just to be seated.
On the flip side, this is a terrific Ramen restaurant. The food is consistently spot on in terms of quality and quantity. The pricing is decent and the service is fast and friendly.
Recommendation: Don't be afraid to try new things! For myself, I will be trying the thin noodles next time I come here.
****5/5 Stars - Recommend this place to all your friends.
