If you're comparing it to ramen places all over Toronto, this place doesn't even cut it close. If you're comparing it to ramen around the GTA, this place is better than most.
I was glad to come try it out, especially with it being close to my house. I know this place is a chain but I've never tried it so I was definitely excited as I pulled up the the parking lot. Tables are wooden and the place is wide and open. There weren't a lot of people here but I can definitely see it being packed with high school kids wandering over from bayview secondary during the lunch hour. If I was still in high school, this shit would be up my alley.
The service was extremely quick and friendly. They were always smiley and came over several times to check up on us. One thing about the menu that's weird is the fact that they charge an extra $1.50 for pork soup base when it's kind of a basic thing for any ramen place. I ordered the red spicy base with pork belly/soy sauce/thick noodle & it was enjoyable. Broth was medium-rich and the noodles were super chewy and texturized. One thing though, the portions were the tiniest I've ever seen. For anyone with a larger appetite, you're definitely not going to be satisfied.
Also ordered the karaage and the takoyaki, which was were both alright. Takoyaki was doughy and packed full of octopus but it definitely had too much sauce all over it, which was too overpowering.
Overall, an okay place in rhill for ramen. Would probably come back.
