2 stars: one for the Pork Bun and one for the hibiscus-ginger-lime drink we had. Otherwise, this would be a no-star rating (is that even possible?).
I've eaten here twice. The first time I had the Ginger Scallion noodles. They were ok. I liked that there was no broth, but I found the dish to be greasy. Recently, I had the Smoked Chicken Ramen and found it to be very greasy as well and not overly flavourful. The biggest disappointment of the day was the cereal milk soft serve. I've been dreaming of this ever since I first read about it arriving in TO and couldn't wait to try it. It was much more sour-tasting than I had expected, and I was very disappointed with the extra 0.75 cents I paid to have as little as 3 corn flakes crushed on top. I didn't finish the bowl.
The atmosphere is ok - very informal (despite spending $40 on lunch). I've been lucky enough to be seated at the end of the communal tables both times I've visited, which gives more space, but I have no doubt the middle of the tables are crowded and awkward.
Overall, I felt ripped off and just plain disappointed by such a superstar chef. Better off just heading to Baldwin for ramen next time (it'll save you a lot of dough!).
