| - I came here to try the ramen after seeing all the positive reviews on Yelp, and I have to agree, it's pretty good even with my high standards - I am an absolute lover of ramen and have been chasing bowls of ramen all around the world. The standard bowl of ramen comes with two different types of broth (went with the pork broth), and two different types of meat (went with the pork which comes with a nice slice of pork shoulder and pork belly) as well as the flavor (opted for spicy garlic, because you can never have enough garlic). I sat with the gf at the counter, which allowed us to watch the chef make the ramen and my mouth started watering as the dish came together. In terms of the actual dish itself, the broth was full of flavor (a little thick, which for me is a good thing), the pieces of pork were delicious, and the ramen of the perfect consistency. My only regrets were not ordering extra meat and not getting the egg because it's not a complete bowl of ramen without the egg.
The gf got the ton ton don bowl as part of the ramen combo, which turned out to be a good, light complement to the ramen. If I had stayed longer in Toronto, I would have liked to come back and try the peanut butter ramen, which sounds amazing. Pro tip for those visiting Toronto, the Art Gallery of Toronto is right near by and is also definitely worth a visit!
