| - I've been to several Ramen places in Toronto (Momofuku, Santouka and now Touhenboku). Touhenboku is my current favorite.
We had the white/soy broth which was rich and delicious. Lean pork was not awe-inspiring, but quite tasty and I had no complaints. But the noodles (I chose the thick, which were only slightly thicker than the thin ones) were chewy and so unbelievably good, they were enough to make me want to go back again, soon. I'd probably have the light broth next time. I don't do well with too much fat in my food, even if it's very tasty fat.
Had the combo, which turned out to be too much food for lunch, so it came home with me. The Chashu don (pork, told them to hold the mayonnaise) was absolutely delicious and great warmed up for dinner later.
My friend had their green tea which was flavored with peach, and she really liked it.
We went around 2pm on a weekday. Great service, very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be going back.

ETA: Another reviewer mentioned an unpleasant smell in the place. It's the musty basement, and that smell only comes up when the door to the basement is opened. I noticed it at the end of our meal. Anyway, it's nowhere near the kitchen and dissipated quickly. Just wanted to note that this has nothing to do with the food, imo (and perhaps management may be able to deal with it in the near future).
