More people should know about this little Japanese place! It serves delicious, authentic, Japanese food that's so very unlike the ones you find in those big AYCE places it's refreshing. Plus, their ramen is awesome. Can't tell you how happy these west-enders are to not have to go all the way downtown anymore when the ramen craving hits.
The ambience is nothing to write home about. But it does make you feel like you're in one of those secret eateries in Tokyo that only Anthony Bourdain knows about. For real.
They are all Japanese here so communication is a little challenging but service is sincere and warm.
Food. Ahhhh the food was GOOD! We had the Japanese style poutine, tempura soba and ramen (total bill $40 with tip and a pop so not bad at all). There were other really interesting things on their, albeit limited, menu like octopus balls so we are definitely heading back. I am still dreaming about that ramen though. And I expect with the weather getting cooler, we'll be back lots of times.
And could it really be 5 stars you ask? Free ample parking at the back! There. 5 stars. Let's support the little neighbourhood gems.
