The soup was the highlight -- rich, flavorful, and so satisfying that I couldn't stop slurping! The dining area is small but gives off a cozy Japanese vibe. The stools come with built-in storage, which is a thoughtful and convenient touch for keeping your belongings. The seating arrangement is unique, with you sitting directly across from the other person but unable to see each other while eating. Overall, a great spot with delicious ramen. Definitely worth the wait!

The guy in front of me, Deng, looked at me with such envy as he cut in line. This place is incredibly popular! Every time I pass by, there's a long queue. Even on rainy days, people are willing to get soaked in the rain just to have a bowl of hot tonkotsu ramen. While you're queuing, the staff will hand out menus. The ordering system is similar to Ichiran Ramen; you can choose the noodle firmness, broth consistency, spiciness, green onions, oil level, and MSG amount . The basic ramen is only $13. I added a soft-boiled egg and pickled cabbage for $2 each. Although the pickled cabbage is really expensive , I can't help it, I'm a pickled cabbage addict! The pickled cabbage paired with the rich tonkotsu broth was refreshing. The broth was flavorful but not greasy, the noodles were chewy and springy, and the portion size was just right. Overall, it's incredibly good value for money; no wonder there's always a queue. After eating, you really get that "Ah~ this is the taste of happiness" feeling

I love a good tsukemen, but while this place has it, it's fairly mid. It reminded why I usually only get it at tsukemen specific spots. The shoryu ramen was more impressive though still just good.

We tried both their signature Tonkotsu Shio (added an egg) and their Black Garlic Ramen. I was surprised but our whole family preferred the Shio. I think I'm used to a lot of black garlic oil. At the level it was added, it just felt like a distraction if that makes sense. Otherwise, chewy noodles, creamy and flavorful broth. Hard to ask for a lot more than that.

I was surprised the appetizer and entree came out together. The salad was a bit underwhelming with taste; the California roll was as expected (it did not come with ginger or wasabi); the spicy vegan ramen was great- the broth was perfect, and there were a lot of noodles. Spice wise, it wasn't that spicy. I also chose a sweetened iced green tea, which was delicious and not too sweet. After my plates were bussed, it did take a while for someone to close me out that I had to grab their attention.

If you're curious about the rest of their ramen lineup, the ramen flight is a fun way to try them out without committing to just one. Service has been attentive on my visits, and food comes out quickly, which is always appreciated. Last night, I tried their Dine Out Vancouver menu and thought it was excellent value. For $35, it included a Sapporo beer, five pieces of takoyaki, a bowl of Tonkotsu ramen, and mochi ice cream. It also happened to be Sake Friday, so we picked up a bottle at 50% off - hard to complain about that math. The ambience was generally fine, but the staff were doing a photoshoot for their new menu right beside our table. The lighting was extremely bright and the space felt cramped, and since the shoot lasted the entire duration of our meal, it became a bit distracting. Overall, strong food and good value, with a small but avoidable atmosphere miss on this particular visit.
