When this place first opened, there were long lineups outside, and I remember the ramen being very unique, being the only Japanese owned chain operating in Toronto.
My favourite is the pork jowl ramen, with bamboo shoots served on a plate with the noodles in a separate bowl. My favourite part is biting into the marbled pork which is both springy and moist and flavourful. At $16 it's a bit pricey, but it's definitely the way to go as the regular char siu is only on par with the competition.
The broth is one of the most flavourful in the city, besting Sansotei for complexity as well as meatiness in the flavour. I find that it's a bit too salty making it hard to enjoy if you're a broth fan (and you should be if you're eating ramen that doesn't come out of a foil packet).
I have some reservations to giving it 5 stars though, as it's not the best value in the city, and the staff seems to be overworked and undertrained.
