The best ramen was very good. The egg was perfect. The spicy sliced cucumber a good touch. The fried back bacon were good but I prefer the old fashioned chashu for this dish. The dan dan noodles were very flavourful. I couldn't identify all the ingredients but it was creamy and rich in peanut and spicy flavours. A nice interpretation of Dan Dan noodles. The restaurant is located in a former coffee shop location. It is plain but cozy. Service was good too. Definitely worth the stop.

Absolutely Great food, although portions are a bit small. Very friendly serving staff.read more

25/12/24 We haven't been to this restaurant for a while, so…read morewe decided to have Korean food and come here on Christmas Day. The food was good, with enough quantity to eat and take home as leftovers. We were a party of nine taking the regular (not BBQ), so they put two tables together for us. Our only complaint about that was that the tables were not the same height. The amenities (restrooms) were not very pleasant, as the trash cans looked as if they have not been emptied in a month (they were overflowing), and there was toiled paper on the floor. In addition, the floor did not look very clean. Food: 4 | Service: 3 | Atmosphere: 2 Recommended dishes: Beef Ribs, Miso Soup Kid-friendliness: There aren't any meals for kids, so you would mostly likely get a couple of dishes and get plates to share.

The food was scrumptious when I went here. I particularly had the kimchi jjigae (kimchi stew) and…read morethe fried mandu. The kimchi stew was amazing and had generous portions of pork. The side dishes were also quite good! My mandu were slightly burnt/over fried but the delicious and unique filling paired with the good sauce provided made it fine. My only issue is that when I try and return, craving their hearty kimchi stew on a cold day, their hours don't match what's posted online or on the paper outside their restaurant? For example, there's a paper sign on the door that says they take a break from x-3pm , on a day I was reallly looking forward to the comforting stew and warm vibes. I check at 3pm and their OPEN sign is off, alright maybe they need a minute or 2, so I do some rounds and pass by it a few times with it still being closed, I go back home and come back around 4:30 which is well past their reopening time and it's still closed. I gave up cause I was starving and went elsewhere. If this could be updated or made more clear then this review would be much higher. I love the food and it's genuinely authentic Korean food but it's frustrating having plans to go for lunch or even an early dinner and having them squashed by an inconsistent hours schedule.

10/10, this place is SO good. Honestly still thinking about that salmon teriyaki and the seafood…read moretofu stew we ordered (which didn't make the cut for the photos cause it was literally devoured within 2 minutes). It was our first-time trying it because the original restaurant we wanted to go to on Somerset was closed, but we were definitely not let down. They open at 11:30 on the weekend and we were a bit early but the staff was super friendly and accommodating- letting us sit down, browse the menu and even place our order before they "officially" opened. Out of all the dine-in korean restaurants we've tried so far in Ottawa (which I know is quite limited and most aren't authentic- but that's not to say they aren't good): Alirang, Maht, Daldongnae, etc. This is definitely top tier AND we will be coming back. As a small business, they are generous with their refillable complimentary side dishes (which is so yum), the flavour HITS, and the service is so good and welcoming. They kept checking in with us, turned down the volume to the TV that we were sitting under, and kept refilling our tea. inside the restaurant is also quite spacious and has comfortable seating arrangements. But we were sitting next to the AC which can be quite breezy!

The aesthetics of this restaurant is INSANE (in the best way possible). As soon as you step into…read morethe restaurant, the aesthetics will blow you away if you are a anime fan. Visuals on its own I would give this 10 out of 10. The seating arrangements are also very comfortable, not too loud/busy when I went which was during lunch time on a weekend. Comparing it to other ramens I've had in Ottawa, I have to admit it's nothing crazy. After eating it don't expect to be blown away because there are better ramen, but at the same time the flavours are still there so it's not bad! The reason I have to give my experience a 3/5 is not only because of the average tasting ramen, but the service was also lacking... don't get me wrong the staff are very friendly, but after placing our order, we nearly waited for 45 minutes-1 hour. I know it's partly our fault for not following up with the waiters sooner, but we're pretty understanding people and we don't like confrontation when it's not needed. But around that 45 minutes mark, I had to say something because your girl was STARVED. Stomach growling and everything. The staff finally checked for us and they said they've JUST placed the order in... however the waiter was super nice and when we went to pay at the end, he apologized and defaulted us to not provide any tips given the long wait- which was much appreciated.

However, I've noticed out of the times I've went, I never seen a girl waitress- which is a bit odd?
