| - 4.5 stars! The BF and I came here around 1:15pm on a Wednesday for lunch after reading some good reviews.
I had the Bacon and Cheese Ramen ($9.95). The Ramen had bacon, cheese, BBQ pork, corn, green onion, and egg. Cheese is my favourite topping on ramen, so I knew I had to try it the moment I saw it on the menu. The broth is the tonkotsu soup base. It had good flavour, was not overly salty and I wasn't thirsty even after drinking a lot of the broth so that was good. The soft-boiled egg was perfect. So good! BBQ pork was not cut too thick nor was it overly fatty or dry. The only negative thing is that the noodles were the standard kind you can buy from most stores. Not the best, but It was cooked well so I did not mind too much. To me, a good broth is more important.
The BF got the Pork Cutlet Curry Ramen ($9.95) The Ramen had a large piece of seaweed, black fungus, green onion, corn, a fishcake, and egg. A full serving of pork cutlet came on the side. This is a pretty good deal since the pork cutlet itself would have been $5.95 had you ordered it as a side. The meat was a good thickness, and wasn't dry. I usually don't like any kind of cutlet since a lot of places like to cut the meat too thin so that it gets all dried up during the frying process. But I liked the cutlet they had here! I don't really like curry soup base, but the BF thought it was good so I'll take his word for it.
We also got the Ika Yaki ($7.95). Yummy! Portion size was pretty good, I was actually expecting something smaller and was surprised at the portion size when it came. It was cooked perfectly, still very soft and the good kind of chewy. Maybe just a few pieces at the top of the head was slightly more charred than the rest.
I was so stuffed I could barely finish all the food! Honestly, if we shared the pork cutlet between us and each had our ramen, and that would have been enough for lunch. But I'm glad we ordered the Ika yaki to try. The tableware here were all very cute. I loved the cute rabbit cups. Our waitress (and I think one of the owners) was super attentive. Came to check how our food was several times and our teas were never more than half empty. I never felt hurried to leave either. The place wasn't very big, around 8-9 tables maybe. We sat in the booth at the front right by the windows and I found the booth a little tight compared to the booths you would find in a western-style restaurant.
I really like this place and I'll definitely be back to try some of the other ramens and sides. Prices are pretty good for the portion size you get. As a note, the BF and I went to the new Sansotei Ramen in Markham about a week later. And we both preferred Koi Sakana over this Sansotei Ramen in the Markham/Richmond Hill area. We just liked the atmosphere, soup broth, and sides here a bit more.
