Hmmm. It's difficult to rate this place. Mainly because there are two ratings for ramen in Toronto. One is rating against other ramen places here and the other is rating against ramen places in Japan. Against ramen places in Japan this gets a 1-star rating. Against ramen places here this gets a 5-star rating. Hmmm.
Anyhow, the ramen is pretty good. While not terribly Japanese, it is nonetheless homemade ramen, and so is one of very few places which offers this in Toronto. I've only had the shoyu and tonkotsu though would like to try the king of kings, miso and shio.
Shoyu: waaay too salty when my friend got this. Could have been an off day as this was near the beginning of their opening of their downtown location. I would definitely prefer the frozen noodles by Maruchan or Nissin which can be found at most any T&T.
Tonkotsu: pretty good. A diluted true tonkotsu broth. If I only imagine a more rich broth my mouth starts to water. Definitely worse than the tonkotsu frozen noodles.
Noodles: OK. nothing special yet better than other ramen noodles found in Toronto. They get the job done but they don't compliment the broth when the broth is good.
Chashu: Could be much better. Again, just gets the job done but still better than other "chashu" found in Toronto.
My main complaint is that the price is not worth the quantity of food you get as if you come in here hungry you will not leave full and especially for noodle soup, this is not a good thing! So when there is good udon and pho nearby, why should you settle for overpriced, underfilling, simply OK ramen?
