| - I was pleasantly surprised by this visit. Literally surprised, because we only came here after we found out our original ramen choice was temporarily closed.
Note that this is not Japanese ramen. The best thing about this place is the portion sizes relative to the price. I ended up quite full, which isn't always the case for me at ramen places (without ordering extra noodles). This place seems to have gotten a bad rap on Yelp, so far, and is rated lower than I would rate it. What I didn't care for was the service. It wasn't bad, per se, but I was feeling particularly thirsty on this visit after maneuvering about the busy city of Toronto. And I know it is ramen, and you typically shouldn't really require much service, but management was also sitting right next to us going over the dealings of restaurant operations, and it made me feel uncomfortable. It was extremely bustling, and just not an enjoyable atmosphere. It WAS clean, at least.
But, the ramen did impress. The menu is quite robust for a ramen shop, as well. I went with the duck, and my girlfriend got the barbecue pork. They both used the same broth, and it complemented both just fine and dandy.
I encourage you to at least give it a shot and see who you agree with more: me, or the majority of other Yelpers. You're entitled to your own opinion, but if you don't like it here, your opinion is wrong.
