First impressions: Gorgeous lounge-like interior, kind of dim but beautiful accents in the dining area. One of the only ramen places in downtown Toronto that are open until 2 AM on Saturdays (blessed). Last call is at 1:30 AM!
I liked that they have two sizes for each of the ramen, the waiter told us the difference between the small and the regular is small = one fist size of noodles, regular = two fist sizes of noodles.
We ordered an appetizer to share-- the octopus with wasabi root. It comes with some sheets of dried seaweed, and is heavy with the wasabi root. If you're not a big fan of wasabi, may want to skip on this one. However, I really enjoyed it and the green onions in the dish helped cut down on some of that spicy wasabi taste.
We ordered the classic Tonkatsu (Regular) and the Spicy Miso (Small) ramen. Be aware that in some of the ramen dishes, the egg is not included and costs an extra $2. I had the Spicy Miso, it was pretty good. The noodle texture has the perfect amount of bounce to it, and the broth was good although not really as spicy as I would have liked.
The real standout was our waiter! He was really funny and helpful in giving us suggestions. We ordered one ramen to go last minute for our friend and he was able to rush the order for us. Amazing guy, wish we got his name so we could shout him out here!
