| - I saw this restaurant under construction a while ago and kept a mental note. I saw they were open for business and convinced a friend to go with me. Purely by chance, it happened to be their first day of business as well! They don't serve alcohol yet, but currently applying for a license. It is operated by Japanese kitchen staff and wait staff, if you were wondering. They will greet you in a manner similar to Guu.
The decor is beautiful inside. It's very well decorated and has lots of natural light. It is very spacious and not cramped like several other ramen restaurants in Toronto.
Unfortunately for vegetarians, they have no veg options available. Only options were chicken and pork in their respective broths. You can order without meat though.
We ordered 2 tonkatsu shoyu ramen, with one without meat, as I am a vegetarian. The price is slightly higher than its competitors, such as Kenzo Ramen, but I think its worth the money. Some places offer tea for free, here it is extra.
Service was quick. Portions were bigger, noodles chewier, with a bigger piece of nori, plenty of fresh bean sprouts, and half of a soft boiled egg that was absolutely fantastic.
The broth was rich and delicious, although I found it to be too heavy for my liking. Usually I will finish the ramen broth, but I couldn't this time. if it was slightly lighter, it would be perfect.
The location used to be several failed eateries. When I was still a student at ryerson, it had gone through 2 incarnations already. I hope they will be around for a long time.
