| - We decided to check out this restaurant out due to a recommendation from a friend and also because we were intrigued by a "ramen" shop in Chinatown. The restaurant was very clean and nicely decorated. We stopped by in the middle of the afternoon and was seated right away, but it got busier around 5:00PM.
The boyfriend ordered the Hand-pulled Ramen with Beef and I chose the Hand-pulled Ramen with Lamb. My order came as a fried noodle dish, which wasn't clear from the name on the menu, but it turned out delicious, so I didn't mind. The portion was very generous for the price, and had lots of lamb and veggies in it. Service was also very fast.
I felt like the broth in the soup-based Ramen with Beef was a bit bland, but the boyfriend really enjoyed it and thought it brought out the flavour of the noodles better. The fried noodles were generously coated in sauce, so if you tend to enjoy saltier foods, then I would recommend you try the fried noodles first. The star of the dishes, the hand-pulled noodles, were great: chewy and perfectly cooked. You can also watch the chef in action, which is fun.
We will definitely come back again and try some of the other items on the menu. If you're in the area, Homemade Ramen is a great place for quick, hearty comfort food.
