| - For me good service goes a long way, it makes your mood better, the experience better, it even makes your food better. And this is why I gave this place five star. The place is kind of small and can get busy at times. Pretty standard decor for a Chinese-run place. Unfortunately there was only one waitress the time we were there and it got busy. But she was super attentive and courteous. Often checking on us when she had time, made sure we got seated right away when a table cleared so that everyone was not waiting at the door.
Before I go into the foods, you must understand that this is a Japanese ramen place that's run by Chinese people, so it may not be the traditional Japanese ramen that you are used to. I ordered the curry katsu ramen because I was super craving Japanese curry at the time. The noodles come in a curry broth, corn, black fungus, seaweed and egg. The broth is not as rich as other Japanese noodle places but it was good for me because sometimes I find their broth too rich and I don't want to drink it. The consistency of the soup was how I like it for drinking. I like how the noodles come with all the toppings for a decent price. And the pork katsu is soooooo big! It comes on the side so that it doesn't get soggy in the soup. The noodles were nice and chewy and not soggy. Overall I really enjoyed their ramen and it was a good price. I also had some leftover pork because the portions were big.
We also ordered the yakisoba, which I have to say didn't consist of soba noodles but their ramen noodles so it should be yaki-ramen. But it was good the way it was. Like stir-fried ramen with lots of veggies but not a lot of meat. It had some soya sauce flavour, mayo and fish shavings. Delicious! I will definitely order this again.
Overall, I will definitely come back. I love the noodles, the consistency of the soups, the pork katsu, flavourful yaki-ramen. The place was clean and the decor nice. It was an enjoyable meal. The waitress super nice, kept checking on us and refilling our tea. The peak hours may be a bit busy, there were people waiting for sure. But if the lines are not too long, totally worth it!
