Toronto has been lacking in quality Ramen places for some time compared with our friends in Vancouver. We've had some mediocre options from Kenzo and Ajisen, but for the first time, I can honestly say that Toronto has a fantastic Ramen shop.
This is a new ramen restaurant that recently opened in the former location of Pho Cali on Dundas St. West, near University Avenue (St. Patrick Subway Station).
The changes they've made are pretty dramatic. The restaurant has a very modern decor, well lit and makes use of the narrow width very well.
The menu isn't all that extensive; It has Tonkotsu Ramen, Shoyu Ramen, Shio Ramen, Miso Ramen, Shoyu Tonkotsu Ramen and Chilled Ramen. However, what it does serve is very tasty. The eggs are perfect - they're well marinated and soft boiled. (Often I find that the ramen restaurants tend to use hard boiled eggs which isn't the case here). The Chashu Pork Belly melts in your mouth and is so so so tender. The noodles themselves are perfectly al dente and feel fresh. They taste home-cooked but I did not confirm this with the owner. Moreover, the broth is fantastic. It has the perfect amount of richness.
I didn't have any appetizers over my two visits so I cannot comment on that part of the menu. All I can say is that this restaurant is fantastic and that it is my favourite ramen restaurant in Toronto.
