The extra .5 is because of the very zen ambiance; relaxing music, beautiful chandeliers, and wooden details that give you the impression that something nice is about to happen...
Fortunately the decoration matched the quality and flavour of the food.
I know that talking about the weather is small talk or used to "fill" awkward silences or situations, but today it is just necessary to complain about him and his moodiness (we are having such a rainy and cold situation that they even canceled the Digital Dreams event.. WTF???). Where did the Spring went on vacations, and why is the Summer angry with us???
Ramen is the perfect lunch, dinner, or meal for one of this cloudy/feeling like doing nothing but cuddle kind of days. It recomforts you, it's fun to eat, it reminds you some of those Japanese cartoons you used to watch when kid, satisfies you, it's affordable, and it's elaboration requires so much dedication/time&effort, that you better buy&enjoy.
This place made the 2nd place in my about to write list of best ramen joints of Toronto. It was busy at 12:30, the attendants included several Japanese with their beautiful multicultural families. But when I really realized the food was good, was when a more than 70 years young senior Japanese fellow, ate his ramen and made a head approbating movement while eating.
The octopus appetizer had lots of dry fish flakes on the top, tasted like Spanish creamy croquetas, and were deliciously accompanied with green onion, mayo, and soy something sauce!!! I burnt my tongue, but it was worth.
Picking your ramen is didactic and the kids in the concurrence seemed to enjoy everything. Pick 1 of the flavours, pick 1 of the meat/vegetarian options, pick in between tick or thin noodles, and add extra items if you want.
I really liked this place!!!
