| - After coming from New York and being dissapointed by ramen there, I was hankering for some good old fasioned Toronto ramen. I followed Jennifer.K's ramen list was was pretty much set to go.
Upon seeing the restaurant, you'll notice really bad parking out front, well it's not exactly easy to park there. Park in the back, there's ample parking there.
The menu isn't really that big, I mean there's basic ramen, hot ramen, "ramen delicacies" and some appetizers. If you're having trouble finding out what things are, it's kinda neat that they have banners on the wall that tell you about the history of ramen as well as what's in it and what it is.
I ordered the King of Kings ramen. I mean, how could I not have? The name says it all! We also ordered the miso ramen as well as the gyoza. They also asked me how spicy I wanted the ramen. Honestly, I didn't even really understand her, so I just said "Yes". I later found out that she just made it "regular spicy". One tip... look at the specials before you order on the wall, you may end up saving some money.
The ramen here is awesome! A cool thing about the bowl was that it was packed with stuff. However, the miso ramen didn't exactly have as much toppings ontop of it. The broth was excellent. The king of kings one was a spicy "salt broth" and was pretty spicy, perfect in my opinion and was nice and well rounded. The miso broth (which I sampled) was really good as well. I would could have gone with either one and been happy.
The noodles (which is the most important part) were done very well. I think the worst thing you could do is undercook or overcook the noodles, but these came out great, nice and chewy and soft.
One thing that I wasn't really a big fan of is the chashu on the king of kings ramen. It was kinda cool that they had char marks on them, but I actually found them kinda tough. It may have been because it was really lean, or grilled before-hand but it definately could have been more tender.
The gyoza was... alright. I mean, I've had better. They're man fried kinda like "wo teep" chinese dumplings but are kinda neat because they're nice and tinyfor a perfect two bites.
They don't take reservations so defeinatly come early if you have a big party. We came here on sunday afternoon and waited for about 10 minutes.
I would definately put this place on the top 5 ramen places I've been to. If you ever have a urge for ramen, go here and give it a shot.
