  • Total wait time to get a table for us, was just under 1 hour. According to Google wait time was only supposed to be less than 15 minutes. So NEVER trust Google for wait time estimates. But to speed things up, they hand you the menu while you are in line so you can order right away when you are seated. From ordering to getting the food, it was SUPER fast. The hubby took off his jacket, and went to the washroom, and our ramen arrived at the table before he even came back! We ordered their signature clam broth shio ramen, original shoyu tonkotsu ramen, and a side of braised pork belly. Starting off with the broths. Both the clam broth, and the tonkotsu broths are VERY different from any of the other ramen houses in Toronto. The clam broth, very light and clear, strong truffle and clam flavours. Nothing like I've ever tasted in a ramen broth before. Delicious. The tonkotsu broth, exact opposite of the clam broth, beautiful creamy pork broth that coats your mouth and doesn't seem to go away. While being creamy, it didn't feel heavy. I know it's a sign of respect and that you enjoyed your meal by finishing your broth. Usually I don't. But this time, I drank it all down! Noodles, also different than the ramen houses in Toronto. The only other time I've had ramen noodles like this was in North America was in New York City at Mr. Taka Ramen (sister restaurant to Bigiya in Tokyo which is also on Michelin's Bib Gourmand list). The noodles are thinner, more al dente, and I would say more similar to a pasta than the ramen noodles that i'm used to eating. All of their meats are done sous vide. While the meat was tender, it felt a bit dry. I assume because the chashu was made with a leaner cut of pork. There was a thin strip of fat, but other than that, the chashu was very lean. The pork belly, had some strips of fat running through it, and it was definitely a bit more juicy than the chashu, but there was a bit of gristle so some bites were a bit chewier. I guess I'm just not a fan of the sous vide method. The braised pork belly also came with an egg. Presentation of the egg was flat out horrible looking. I can't figure out how they cut it to look the way it did. And it was also missing chunks of white too. Usually when you can't peel the shell away from a boiled egg properly, either they did it too hot, or the egg wasn't fresh.
