| - This place is blowing up in Toronto, and for good reason. Their noodles are the bomb! They have an excellent menu, of which I've posted a few pics so you can check out the variety of offerings they've got. I chose the Red Dragon, since I prefer spicy noodles and broth. It didn't disappoint! The broth was subtly spicy, not overpowering. There was a whole red chili sticking up in the middle when it was served, too (hot!). The egg was cooked to perfection, too.
I also ordered the Hiya Yakko, a wonderful dish of cold tofu smothered in chili oil, scallions, and bamboo. So tasty. Drink menu is small but works, and I didn't explore it much (got a big Asahi).
The staff were fantastic. Really pleasant, and the food came out fast. There were only two negatives for me. First, it is pretty cramped, and there is always a line. Know this before going! Better to stop in and get your name in the list - I had just arrived from the US, so just had to suffer while watching all the others consume THEIR tasty deliciousness.
The bigger complaint was the hipsters. I was awash on a sea of man buns, suspenders, and pants that are too short the entire time. This is obviously their spot, and they were sort of a rude and unfriendly bunch, at least the night I visited. Beware, middle-aged people! Come for the ramen, stay for the beard oil.
