Pulled the loner samurai thing tonight and walked into this place by myself looking for comfort noodles to help take the edge off the day. I certainly got what I came for.
The place is small and it was packed with people when I arrived, but the benefits of lonerism allowed me to get seated right away -- squished next to a couple of dreadfully boring U of T students on a presumed date.
The vegetarian shoyu ramen I ordered came right away. Nice! Time to enjoy this in solitude! I was a little disappointed that there wasn't more food volume, but the veggies were diverse and fresh, plus I had ordered a side of perfectly cooked short-grain white rice for only $1 with the combo. The broth especially was fantastic and I actually had to take some notes (they have ingredients included on their menu).
Besides the boring dentistry students seated behind me, the experience was great. It's a little bit pricey for a lunch option, but worked well for a memorable, mindful, dinner.
Then I strode off into the night.
