| - It's interesting to see how some Yelpers gave this place a low rating because they expected Japanese ramen and it's not. Interesting because both the name ramen and the noodle itself were imports from China. Japan did develop it own style, and its ramen now stands as a distinctive category, but to complain is like going to Italy and upset that the pizza doesn't taste like Pizzeria Uno.
Walking into the place I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and new it is. The menu is rather extensive, with many things we want to try. They have two types of noodles, the lamian (pulled noodles) and knife noodle (shaved from a ball of dough.) Personally I like the texture of the knife noodles more.
Can highly recommend: lamb stir fried lamian, the sliced beef in chili oil (lots of flavor, not too spicy), tofu skewers (much tastier than it sounds), lamb skewers, spicy cabbage, lotus root appetizer (a delightful blend of spicy and vinegary flavors), and sweet wine milk dessert.
This is one of the places in Toronto we keep returning to!
