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!

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!

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. Portions are large, prices are what they are these days. Highly recommend!

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.

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.

It's a nice Japanese decor. They've added 2 additional locations since I discovered them years ago. They have two things that I like in restaurants, good food and low prices.

They also have yakitori, Japanese pastas, and hotdogs. Parking kind of sucks. Street parking is almost impossible to find. There is a parking lot behind the restaurant where you have to pay an app or website. Otherwise everything about this place is great!
