We had been craving ramen for a week so it was great to grab a hot meal after a long really cold day. We were seated and ordered immediately. Our food came out quickly and piping hot.

Usually, I am a fan of tonkotsu broths strictly, but their Asahikawa Shoyu ramen (which is their signature) was delicious as well! The shoyu broth was more complex than other shoyu broths I've tried. I had the Paitan Shio ramen described as "rich white Paitan pork bone (tonkotsu), pork broth flavoured with perfectly blended Japanese sea salt" and quite enjoyed it. I like how the egg and other toppings were included in the price already. The chasu was tender for the most part but had a few tough spots. Overall, I would return for sure!

When we sat down, we were handed paper menus along with a pen to mark our selections, which made ordering easy and straightforward. I went with the chili goma ramen, and it had just the right amount of spice which was enough to warm me up without being overwhelming. We also ordered edamame and karaage as appetizers. Both were solid choices, especially the karaage, which was crispy and flavorful. The portion size for the ramen was very generous, I was completely stuffed by the end. Great value and comforting food. I'd definitely come back, especially on another cold day.

I ordered the hand pulled noodles in beef soup and appreciated that you can choose the type of noodle. On the cashier's recommendation, I went with the thin noodles, which were excellent.

Service was efficient, prices were reasonable, and there was ample seating available. If I find myself back in the area, I would gladly return!

It was a pleasant surprise to partake of Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles which were like silk! Tons of lamb choices. I'm always down for lamb and I was in my element.

Spouse had a lovely braised beef soup with thin noodles, scented with five-spice My only minor criticism is that my lamb noodles were a tad oily.

I looked for Ramen places on google and came across this restaurant. They have been around for a few years but I had never noticed them before. When we went in we were greeted and told that we could sit anywhere. My son wanted to sit at the sushi bar side but we elected to sit at a table. The restaurant is not very big with seating for maybe 20. Menus were already on the table. Not an extensive menu. A selection of ramen, Rice dishes, sides, and beverages. We ordered 2 Tonkotsu Ramen with extra noodles and a Tonkatsu (Pork cutlets with rice). We also had a side order of salmon sashimi. Everyone had waters and I ordered a tea. The ramen was really good. Broth not too salty. Not as layered flavour that we have tasted from other places but still very good. Noodles are the curly ones and picked up the flavour of the broth nicely. The Tonkatsu was good. A little dry - had to use the sauce extensively. The salmon sashimi appy was good. It came with a home made wasabi dressing/sauce. To end the meal they gave us complimentary ice cream. Nice touch. Staff were really friendly and appreciative that we came by. My son needed to use the washroom a couple of times and it was clean. Will definitely come back again for the ramen. Family enjoyed our meal.

We eat a lot of ramen so our standards are quite high. The seating was at a shared high top table in the middle of the restaurant with loud bassy hip-hop. I love the vibe. Personally, I think this place is overrated, but I would still recommend trying it if you have never been. We would also return and try other items on the menu

The fish cheek was lightly fried with plenty of meat. You can also order a flying fish sashimi that it was presented beautifully. After finishing the sashimi, they will ask if you would like the remainder of the fish fried. We opted to do this and everything down to the bone was edible and crunchy, like fish chips. I love how none of the fish was wasted and the entire fish was edible. Overall, highly recommend this place if you are looking for fresh fish and quite authentic flavors. Be prepared to leave smelling a bit smokey though due to the open kitchen. But it's great that you can watch them prepare some of the food.
