My boyfriend and I arrived late this past Sunday night at around 8:45 pm and waited only 10 minutes for a table (score!). It's a small, but a very bright and open space. With such limited seating I can only imagine how long the wait for a table would be during peak hours.
The selection was pretty small since it's only a soft opening. I ordered the Shio Ramen - it was love at first taste! The Shio broth is rich and complex, without being overly salty. The pork is hands down the tastiest I've had compared to other ramen shops. The noodles were delicious and cooked to perfection. I only wish i had a bigger bowl! The portions were pretty small and the prices were expensive in relation. I personally don't mind dishing out the extra money to enjoy an exceptional bowl of ramen every now and then, but something tells me that my fellow Torontonians may be less inclined to when they can get reasonably priced ramen elsewhere.
For hearty eaters, I'm afraid a regular bowl of ramen won't be enough to satisfy you. They do offer the option for more meat and additional toppings, but at a cost of course. Despite the small portions the great flavours won me over. I'm hoping for some great apps to help fill the void when they officially open in late November. I highly recommend checking this place out!
