Came twice for lunch as my work is down the street.
First time was with four ppl total, second time was for two ppl total.
Food:
Pork shoyu ramen with thick noodles. Added marinated egg, sweet corn and black garlic oil. Consistent both times. With tip I paid a little more than $20.00. I now realize how steep this is money wise for lunch, but for quality ramen I would not mind coming back for the same dish if I'm craving. I have paid similar prices at other ramen restaurants, but I normally go for dinner and don't notice the price for dinnertime.
Other ppl go pork miso ramen, chicken miso ramen and jalapeƱo chicken ramen. They all enjoyed the ramen and felt it was better than the north York location. One person was a first timer when it comes to ramen and I think they are now addicted.
Matcha cheesecake.. $3.50. I like that the price is low and portion is small. This way you can share with someone without over doing it. Taste wise, it was a nice cheesecake, but you can't really taste anything matcha-y.
Black sesame pudding.. can't remember the price on this. I rmb it being low. I would order this again over the cheesecake. The texture was veeeery nice and taste was good.
Service:
First time we waited five minutes for a table during the lunch rush. Second time we came a bit later and were seated right away. Both times took a bit long for the food to come out, compared to other ramen restaurants and to lunch spots in the area. I think they're just getting used to the flow of service since they just opened (therefore I did not knock off a star). We spent about an hour here both times. Everyone is very friendly as they greet you on the way in and say goodbye on the way out. You don't need to ask for water refills as they stay on top of it. They also check in to make sure everything is okay. They also bring the payment terminal and bill once they've taken the empty bowls and plates away.
Final thoughts: Ramen was great and the service was really efficient (other than the longer wait time for food to come out). Seeing as this is not too far from work, I will definitely return to this restaurant for lunch when I want ramen.
