Dropped by after work to pay this place a visit. It's just a short walk East from Yonge and Dundas.
It was their soft opening, not overly busy, we just walked right in and got seated.
The waitress opened up the menu and said there were only 2 pages available to order at the moment. No problem.
Essentially the first page is the basics, second page more of the basics plus more meat, and some specialty bowls for $15
Not to experiment, I ordered a Shoyu Ramen, priced around $10.90
My take,
Broth soulless. Empty tasting without complexity. Simple and tap water tasting. (or could this a case of too much lye)
No egg? Found that rather strange.
Bamboo shoots and dried seaweed - nothing out of the ordinary.
Noodles a bit over cooked. Tasted very much like soft fresh packaged noodle.
Chashu (pork belly) was ok but it was not braised.
Mind you better than Kenzo, and broth not salted to heck like Kinton
But there's no competition to Sansotei - you can taste the difference.
And how come all of them are on Dundas?
