I placed an order for pick up over the phone as online ordering isn't an option (yet? Maybe soon since they just recently opened?) and my order was ready for the time I asked for without any issues. The staff was friendly on the phone and in person during my experience. From what I could see in the restaurant, the decor was inviting and there were a few customers enjoying their dine in experience on a Tuesday evening. I got the Salmon Poké Bowl and asked for it to be spicy rather than regular. I got to choose which base I wanted between sushi rice, brown rice or greens. I picked the classic sushi rice. Overall, my bowl came to $28.25 including tax plus tip was extra. A bit pricey for a take out dish, but the sushi grade salmon was delicious and very fresh. There was a good amount of it, too, which I appreciated. It was a nice treat! I would love to try their Ahi Tuna Bowl next and eventually one of their ramen dishes. Currently they have 5 different ramen options and 5 different poké options available on their menu, so a small selection, but you only need a small but great tasting menu to be successful. They also have a variety of appealing appetizers and two dessert options. I'm curious to see if they will expand their menu in the future or keep it simple. Simplicity can be a nice thing when it works well! I will be back again soon!

This place was super cute! We were seated pretty quickly at 7pm on a Friday night, and service was…read morerelatively quick. We really liked the variety of options for someone who is vegetarian! The veggie dumplings were super good. My partner LOVED his ramen, his only complaint was that the only protein is one piece of inari tofu. He ordered more on the side because of this. I really liked his miso broth, but unfortunately, I felt as if my original broth had no flavor. I would come here again, but I would NOT get the original broth.

Menu is simple: mostly ramen noodles with pork, chicken, beef or vegetarian and choice of broth. They have a good number of appetizers such as edamame beans, squids fried balls, rice bowls, wings and spring rolls. I would recommend at sticking to the ramen noodle bowls which is the main feature. Not as good as Sansotei or Jinsei IMHO but good for a quick lunch stop and if you are on the Elgin end of town.

It turns out, it's up the ramp on the left hand side. Once parked up here, there is a couple of glass doors and one of them takes you directly into the restaurant. Great to know for next time I'm in the area! As you walk down the stairs, you'll see it's renovated pretty nicely and not overly done. We grabbed a seat and were served with water pretty quickly. We had a look through the menu and they serve up more than just ramen. There's don, sukiyaki, code noodles as well as a bunch of sides. Since it was a pretty cold day, I knew I was going to settle on a ramen. I settled on the spicy tantan as I get that at many places. Service was good and the food came out pretty quickly. I started with the broth. It was alright. I got a second spoon with some chili oil and it that was OK too. I tried some of the ramen...it was OK. I don't know why but it reminded me of instant noodles so wasn't a huge fan of that especially at the price point. The egg was cooked well and the other toppings are decent as well. Portion size was standard but staff are super friendly and attentive. Even though the ramen I ordered was ok at best, it's nice to see more shops pop up around Ottawa. I'll definitely come back to try one of the dishes.

We got the Genmaicha - its for the whole table and you get the cutest pot and cups. We also got a huge thermos of hot water so it was pretty much non-stop. Got Gyoza to start. It was good. I tried the Spicy Tantan without the chili oil. Still got pretty strong kick. Noodles were good, ground pork was good (spicy), egg was fine, lettuce worked better than I expected, bamboo was good too - nice crunchy kick. Fungus was excellent. I wish there was a marinated ground pork that was not spicy. I could not tell if the broth was amazing as my lips were tingling already. Also tried the Hawanmushi - it takes 20-30minutes they said so glad we ordered early. Loved the egg custard but not a fan of the savory sauce. Loved the shrimp, crab, shitake toppings and wish there were more! Cool to try and I was okay with the price ($9) but as I didn't like the flavor combo - will not get again. Sadly they were out of deep fried brown sugar mochi. Dango was something I have always wanted to try - it tasted like bland mochi. I thought each color would taste different but they all pretty much taste the same. Texture is nice just like soft mochi. Loved the icing. Very reasonable price ($6). 2 skewers of 3 Dango each per order. Mint candies at the end are super delicious too!

Atmosphere worse with the very loud K-pop music and the restaurant's food app constantly dinging at the highest of volumes every 3 seconds. Acoustics, not great. Seating not the most comfortable. Tables are tiny. Not a lot of room. The food.. the fried chicken appy is a must.. perfect fried and golden, come out nice and hot. Gyoza with garlic and onion, good. Would get plain gyoza if I came back here. I love onion but it was a crazy amount. I kept most on the side for my ramen. Ramen.. not a lot of choice. I settled for the popular Black Shin which just means black garlic was added to the Shin. I brought my own cayenne pepper which is good as they kept forgetting to bring the chili oil. I never got it. Had to ask many times for soy sauce, came at the end of the meal. The noodles themselves were good. I brought my leftover broth home, I never waste a drop! Alcohol, you can choose from a beer (Sapporo) or sake. We opted for just water. Maybe an ok place for take out but I would think twice about being seated in here.

They have a good selection and apps and also noodles which are more individual meal portions but we decided to share and try everything. On Tuesdays, they have yakitori and I would love to come back to try that. The scallop crudo was lightly seasoned and fresh. I feel like it could have used a bit more citrus but overall it was good! The Korean fried chicken wings/drums were saucy, with something that tasted like a gochujang based sauce, as well as a ranch with dill. I didn't really taste the miso in the ranch too much, but I did enjoy the flavour profile. We also had the chicken karaage, which was lightly breaded and fried, and paired with a mayo. It was ok but a little plain. Next, we had the dan dan noodles. Dan dan noodles are traditionally very chewy have a nice bite to them but these noodles are a bit on the softer side. The flavour profile was good though. Lastly, we had the beast ramen. The smoked pork belly was nice and crisp and the soft boiled egg was nicely cooked. The noodles seem to be the same ones used in the dan dan noodles. It was enjoyable but the broth wasn't exactly ramen broth that I am used to. I would say that overall it was enjoyable, and prices were reasonable. Service was great. But there is definitely some room for improvement on the dishes. I would consider this more Asian fusion than a noodle bar.
