| - Pretty overrated, overpriced, basic at best food. There are so many great ramen places in Toronto--there's no reason to go here and pay ridiculous prices for average food (unless you're the sad sort of individual who swoons over the recognized name and the shi-shi hip decor...). I went because a friend made the plans, but I won't make the same mistake again.
So the pork buns were $10, which was annoying in itself. Then they came--two of them--and they were small white buns stuffed entirely with blubber. Ok, I get it, some people like to bite into a chunk of solid pig fat. But I am not those people and I had to pick almost everything out of my bun so I wouldn't gag and possibly barf all over the table.
I ordered a six dollar "slushie" drink which turned out to be the size of a shot glass. Enough said.
I had the $16 Momofuku ramen, which was average and not as good as ANY of the other ramen I've had in Toronto, but still several dollars more than anywhere else.
The place was packed, which baffled me, and again I must assume that snobbish people just come here because oooh, it's in London! And New York! Fancy people go there and it's overpriced, so it must be good!
No. Walk the fifteen minutes to Santouka at Yonge and Church, order the delicious shio ramen for $11 and call it a night.
