| - I really love Japanese ramen..Honestly, I'm addicted to it..
Considering the fact that this place was rated as one of the top Japanese ramen in TO, I really wanted to give them AT LEAST 3 stars no matter what... b/c I had a faith in my fellow yelpers.. WHAT A MISTAKE SMFH
So prior to ordering, I kindly asked them to give me enough broth b/c I didn't get enough soup base from the Church branch.. (Just take a look at the pics in case you wonder I'm being greedy.. these guys can't even fill in containers.. it's half filled and when you pour them, they look nothing like ramen. They look more like yaki udon, you know what I mean.).
It's all good though..I was like whatever..you guys really cherish your broth that much huh.. it must be amazing right.
So I had a huge expectation from this Baldwin branch right...I mean.. my fellow Yelpers tend to love this place so it's gotta be goooood!! right?
I tried their 3 popular dishes.. the Original, Spicy, and Shoyu..
When I engulfed the Spicy and Shoyu, I'm gonna be honest...they tasted good, "thick and rich" but my stomach was full of grease...... something was just not right. I was like wtf?! I felt like I was gaining at least 20 pounds per dish..
So I was like wtf's going on right..let me investigate.. so, I decided to refrigerate the Original to see what it's actually made out of.. my reaction was "HOLY F!!!!!!!!"
Yes, the pictures speak louder than words so just take a look at it man!
What you're seeing is the fat layer on top of the broth... I was too naive to recognize it before stuffing it up into my stomach.. fml... no wonder they tasted RICH..
They didn't filter out fat.... too lazy I must say.. Yeah..that's right..
If you need to gain weight and want to risk your health, this is the place for you... otherwise... get the f out of this overrated joint..
PS: at least they didn't miss any extra toppings so that's a plus.
Will never visit this place
