A very nice ramen place. They have quite a variety of dishes to choose from. Their appetizers are also good. I ordered deep fried oysters. It was delicious!! Their Tonkotsu ramen is very flavorful. The staff here are very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is very nice. This is a good ramen place!!!

I really like Japanese curry so I was excited to try the chicken curry noodles here. It was really tasty and has an authentic Japanese curry flavor albeit a bit salty. There is a lot of curry sauce to cover the noodles and the chicken is lightly crispy which pairs well with the curry sauce. The food was prepared quickly and hot. The portion size was good enough for me, however others may find it to be on the smaller side. Edit: Don’t order takeout from here. The noodles were a giant clump stuck together on the bottom and there was very little sauce

I tried the Teriyaki Tori and thoroughly enjoyed it! The menu was straightforward and easy to read. This restaurant blew away my expectations. Not only was the food delicious, but the service was great too. It would have been nice to have a vegetarian option with the broth options, but they did have one for soba. The atmosphere was also great and the lighting in there is really nice. Will be back again soon!

Generous portion sizes and good food. We were seated immediately, and the service was fast. However, the atmosphere felt cramped due to the restaurant’s limited space, making less suitable for big groups.

A famous Japanese chain specializes in brothless ramen, originated from Nagoya. Chewy abura soba, a dry noodle coated and tossed in popular sauces (midi, tonkatsu, sukiyaki). Customers can add toppings at a fee (recommend its poached egg to make the noodle creamier). There is a vegan option and few broth options for those who crave for broth. Pricing averages $14.50 per bowl. Well worth it! Dessert (matcha latte, ice-cream) available on the 2nd floor.

We really enjoyed our food. We got the gyoza, spicy tonkatsu and then teriyaki broth less ramen. All were very flavorful and delicious. The service was okay, the chairs were small stools that weren’t very comfortable.

Pretty good dry ramen. Flavourful, but needed some chili oil, garlic, and pepper added which they thankfully have on the side! The pork tasted good, maybe a bit salty at points. The kaarage was a bit sour which was off putting but the sauces were good and it had the perfect crunch. I'll come back to try the ramen to see if opinions change.
