"For a fair comparison, I will not compare this location to any ramen locations downtown but rather to Sansotei (Markham) which is nearby. This place is noticeably less salty and oily than other Japanese ramen place I have been to. While this is good for more health conscious people like me, it comes with a cost because the broth doesn't taste nearly as good as Sansotei.They cheap out on the ingredients because the entire portion was so small. I don't know if I was extra hungry that day, but the amount of meat, mushroom, noodles and other stuff was just minuscule (comparing only to Sansotei). Just judging from the noodles and pork belly alone, I did not feel like they were good quality. You have the option of adding ingredients like corn and butter for $1.00 per item which is a rip off in my opinion. There are specials like ramen with dessert combo and a student set with a pop. I ordered the ramen and dessert combo and was told I would only get half the portion of the dessert which was understandable looking at their full charge if you order the dessert separately. They did not have the Japanese cheesecake I wanted that day so I ordered the chocolate one instead. It was pretty mediocre and I wouldn't pay extra to order it again. \n\nI really wanted to like Touhenboku more since it's one of the few ramen places I didn't feel sick right after eating, but unfortunately the quantity and quality don't match up to the price for me. Therefore, I will give only 3 stars and probably won't be back any time soon."^^ . . . "2016-04-05T00:00:00"^^ . . "0"^^ . "3"^^ . "1"^^ . "0"^^ .
