| - I've been craving ramen for way over a month, but for some reason haven't gotten to it. We decided to go in New Year's Day, because it was cold and that obviously merits a warm bowl of ramen!
I've been to the Shepard and Yonge Kinton Ramen location, but this one seemed to be closer to me. I always go with the chicken Shoyu with extra corn and garlic. I love the somewhat creamy texture of the soup with thin noodles. The chicken is always a bit questionable to me, since it just looks so...perfectly flat. However, I enjoy it every time, so I do not complain.
My boyfriend decided to get their house special on HWY 7, which was the Mabo tofu ramen. It's a miso pork broth with chilli bean paste with ground pork, tofu, eggplant and scallion. You could make it spicier by adding hot sauce, but my bf found it hot enough. He finished his bowl, so I assume it was delicious. Unfortunately I didn't taste it, as I am sick.
We also ordered a side of their gyoza and kimchi. Loved every bite of both.
Overall, the restaurant is easily accessible with plenty of parking space. It's actually quite large and can accommodate many people unlike their uptown and downtown locations that are much smaller. Service and food are great.
I'll definitively be coming back here to get my ramen fix on!
