I have tried Momofuku Noodle Bar, Ippudo's, Kenzo (North York), Aijisen, and Shinsengumi.
Please do not let the Guu like atmosphere confuse you with quality food & wow factor.
I ordered all three ramens from the menu with reg soup and pork belly. The pork belly was so tough it almost ripped my teeth out ...
Soup base (Miso, Shoyu, Shio) were all so bland. The place has no AC, and they only have one table at the back that can hold 7 peeps. I understand the traditional concept of ramen joints are bar like quick in and out type of restaurants, but my food took 20 mins!
This place sucks! After my meal I said to myself...Really?! People lined up for this Sh*t?! I gave them one star for value and one star for sympathy. Can not believe people are raving about this place, but then again Torontonian's are still new to the ramen scene.
Once David Chang open's up shop in T.O. I'm sure Yelper will understand what I'm talking about.
