| - Okotte Ramen, like many other reviewers have already mentioned, have adopted the make-your-own designer noodle menu despite their name suggesting that the specialty is ramen. For a prix fixe, you can select your noodle, two toppings of choice and the soup base. For an additional fee, you can order different snacks to compliment your meal.
While the restaurant is nothing innovative, a feature that makes this restaurant stand out from the rest is the Presotea drink offerings! For a regular drink (which definitely felt like a large), you only need to add a couple of extra dollars to your noodle entrée.
I ended up ordering the tonkatsu soup base with ramen and cha siu, a passionfruit bubble tea, takoyaki, chicken wings and crab salad. For a shop named after ramen, the soup flavour definitely shows promise. However, if you are looking for a rich heavy soup that you'd find from other popular ramen joints, then I might stray away from this option. The soup is definitely lighter in terms of texture and depth. If you are concerned about the quality of the Presotea, fear not! It is very faithful to the brand and flavour. The appetizers were nothing remarkable, but that's to be expected.
Located in Richmond Hill, it is an appealing alternative for those living more north who adore the Deer Gardens Signature experience. While this restaurant doesn't have anything that screams amazing, it does do the job of satisfying a noodle craving.
