Ramen actually originated in China, but it is more famous as a Japanese dish. Chinese people have their own style of ramen and actually Koreans do too. So this restaurant is serving Chinese style ramen, not Japanese style. I personally like the Chinese style noodle slightly more than the Japanese counterpart. Chinese noodle shops tend to have more variety, and let you customize on toppings and thickness of noodles. And a lot of Chinese noodle shops make their noodles fresh and sometimes visible to its patrons.
This ramen shop is great as it's the only good one I know of downtown. The only other one I visit is Magic Noodle in Scarborough.
For $7.99, you get authentic noodles, in decent portion. In terms of value it's much better than the Japanese ramen shops. When you upsize in a Chinese place, I can see the difference. When I upsize in a Japanese ramen shop, I honestly can't tell if they added anything.
I guess part of the draw of the Japanese ramen shops is the service. Chinese places are notoriously bad with their service. This place is alright. Don't expect servers to energetically welcome you when you walk in. But do expect some good food, which is all that matters to me in a restaurant.
