Blown the f away by this beaut that has finally arrived from the homeland (LA or van city, I think). The place is aesthetically pleasing and the service was great throughout the entire experience. Our server was Maggie and she was extremely pleasant and didn't mind my friend's many requests.
I came here originally because I saw on instagram that they offered vegan ramen. For someone who is in love with ramen and has not had it in 4 months, the idea of vegan ramen stole my heart and I definitely needed to try. It had silken tofu, greens, fresh garlic (added free of charge), scallions, sesame seeds and to my surprise, it was SO creamy - exactly the way I loved my pork infused, dairy filled ramen broth back in the day. I instantly fell in love and could've cried on the spot. I found love. I FOUND LOVE, AND I'M NEVER LETTING IT GO. #VegansNeedRamenToo
I loved it because I didn't feel that sickly bloated feeling I used to feel when I'd try to be a kinton bowler. None of the dairy/meat shenanigans. Just tofu and veggies to fill up a hungry girl. I also enjoyed the fact that it wasn't covered in oil, like most ramen places like to douse their dishes with. My friend had the cha cha, and the portion was HUGE. The noodles were plenty, like, more than the typical ramen place when you order extra noodles! It was a garlic lover's dream. He even got the fresh garlic, which he minced himself (with struggles..) on top of his ramen and it soaked up the rich flavour of the broth immediately. He was falling in love with his ramen by the second.
The noodles were super duper fresh and the texture was great as well!
You guys, you cannot believe how estastic I am to find such a gem in t.o, ramen was one of my favourite things and to find one that is not only vegetarian, BUT VEGAN!?!?!? AND it tastes the same as a creamy pork broth?! Down. Sooooooo down.
I'm literally going back. Every time I'm in the downtown core. You can bet on it.
