| - Was walking past Dundas and passed by another ramen place that we wanted to try...it was a major line up. So we give Raijin a try. There was a slight line up but we were only 2 people and hostess asked if we mind sharing a table. We were fine with that so we got a table shortly after.
The restaurant itself had 2 sections front and the back area has more seating and also had an area where they sold Japanese frozen and refrigerated & dried snacks.
Looked through the menu and most of the ramen. If you wanted more stuff in it, then you had to add extra money for the add ons. Since this was the 1st time here, I decided to order the regular with no upgrades (or there was even a downgrade of a smaller size, minus $1). My husband opt for the larger version, so he added $1 for a Larger Size. I ordered the Dark Miso Ramen, which was a Chicken Broth with Smoked Bamboo Flavour. My hubby ordered the Gyokai Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen.
It was really quick service. Not long after ordering, our ramens arrived at our table. Mine was regular, so regular only had 3 very thin slices of Chicken, a bit of Green Veggie (possiblity it was spinach), maybe 1 cup of noodles, I think some threads of Saffron. The broth was rich and flavourful and noodles were al dente. I pretty much finished almost the whole bowl, just left a little broth left.
I had room so I ordered a Japanese Pudding (can't remember the name), it was really creamy and soft. It tasted like a really soft and extra creamy panna cotta. The pudding itself didn't taste like much, slight sweetness and possibility it we tofu base, with a small dapple of red bean paste, & whipped cream. But I enjoyed it anyways :)
