| - I have been to this place many times since I am a big ramen eater and I also love pretty close to this place. I am only writing a review now because I feel like I can give a somewhat accurate review now.
So I have ordered many things at this place but I do not have pictures for all of the things I have ever ordered. I tried their Gyoza (pan fried japanese dumplings), spicy tonkatsu ramen, curry rice with karage, karage, takoyaki, and I think that's it. I like all of these things and they do a pretty good job at making all of them. I wouldn't say one stands out as being the best in Toronto or the best ever, but they are tasty and good. Takoyaki has a decent amount of octopus inside, not overlooked, crispy on outside and soft on inside. Gyoza are fine, just regular fried dumplings (although my favourite are the ones are Ryu noodle bar on Baldwin). Ramen comes in three different size options (small, regular, large), the ramen is always cooked to perfection, the additional cabbage and bean sprouts and corn and pork they put on it makes the whole dish work really nicely, and the broth i think is terrific too. The curry is good, nothing extremely special about it, it's a good Japanese curry. And the karage (japanese fried chicken) is moist on the inside and crispy on the outside too, it also comes with a side of Japanese mayo.
The broth they have at this place (especially for the spicy tonkatsu ramen, since that's the only one I've tried at this place) is richer and very flavourful. Some people like their broth really light, so if you do I don't think you will like their broth. But I think everyone should give it a try cause it really is good and hearty and very very flavourful!
This place also is constantly on the hunt for new inventive ramen and just today I saw some new ramen thing they are offering in collaboration with some famous chef in Japan I think. I want to give this a try next time.
This place isn't overly expensive and is pretty student friendly in my opinion. Especially compared to all the other places to eat downtown for students, this place is one of the good ones. I'll definitely keep coming back and so should you.
