| - -- My First impression --
I love Japanese ramen. Since I was in downtown and my friend told me this ramen place was awesome, I decided to give it a try. Their location was very convenient, it was around 5 minutes walk from Eaton Centre (Yonge side entrance). There was a line up there (around 8 - 10 people in front of us). I think the way they assigned table was quite messy. I saw customer randomly walked in front of us and got a number. By the time I put my name on their waiting list, the server told us the waiting time was 15 minutes. We got our table within 15 minutes and I found it quite reasonable.
-- Food & Drink --
I ordered a Tonkotsu Shio Ramen dessert Combo (comes with a small Ramen, Small rice bowl, salad, coffee/tea/pop, and a dessert). I picked a Chicken Torimayo Don for the rice bowl and Coffee Jelly for dessert, my husband ordered a large Bamboo Charcoal Dark Tori Miso Ramen. I liked how their salad had a lot of corns, other than that it was just an ordinary salad. My husband could not finish the ramen because the soup base was just bland and the colour was not appealing at all. The most disappointing item was probably the coffee jelly dessert. The coffee jelly was very bitter and they were layered on top of the milk custard. The cup was too tiny and you could barely scoop out the milk custard with the jelly. They claimed there's matcha powder on top and the quantity was less than a pinch.
-- Service --
Servers were not very attentive. We had been putting our hands up for service. We had eye contact with the servers, and they just simply ignored us.
-- Overall --
I would not come back to this ramen place. Santouka Ramen, Sansotei Ramen, and Kinton Ramen are way better than Raijin.
