| - Had the veggie ramen. It had corn, wakame seaweed, shiitake mushrooms, bean sprouts, cabbage and topped with two tofu nuggets infused with carrots and edamame. The soup base was gingery, but a tad bit too gingery that it burned the back of my throat. The ramen noodles were thick egg noodles as the waitress kindly reminded us (vegan noodles are also avail with an extra cost). We also ordered a Kinton ball, which is a boiled egg wrapped in delicious char sui (BBQ pork) and topped with a chilli mayo sauce.
I actually couldn't finish my bowl of ramen, especially after sharing a Kinton ball (which was awesomeness by the way). I did like the creativeness of the tofu nuggets, and I'd suggest placing them on the side dish to nibble on as it becomes soggy quickly sitting in the soup. Otherwise, I found that there was way too much volume of, well, everything but of nothing really special. The soup base was not what I expected and too gingery spicy, the noodles seemed like a chore to eat. While I love veggies, somehow the whole dish just didn't make my top list for veggie ramen, so I'll stick to the pork or chicken ramen next time!
Service was quick and courteous, nice environment. You can take away leftovers but note that you pay an extra $0.50 for the container which has a sticker that reminds you to best eat it in 30 mins. (Just remember to separate the noodles from the soup when you get home so the noodles don't soak up all the soup!)
I may return again if I'm in the area, but I'm still on the search for a decent veggie ramen in the GTA!
