    Seriously good spot! I had the beast ramen (pork) and the Dan Dan noodles. Easily some of the best ramen I’ve had, I’d say on par with the best. The broth was unreal, the pork was really good, excellent egg and really interesting flavours! Dan Dan noodles were excellent too, peanuty but not overwhelming, a touch of spice to them. Oysters were great, and good selection of toppings to add to them. We had a ginger mocktail, it was very good too, really nice fragrance and excellent flavours! Ambience was great as well! Very relaxed, friendly staff. Music was perfectly set, fairly quiet, and the overall loudness was nice and quiet. Only thing is the front door opening was a bit chilly at times, they’ve done a good job setting up a blanket around the entrance than minimizes the draft. I wouldn’t avoid this place because if that, but if you run cold, and it’s the winter try to ask for a place farther from the door and you’ll be 👌 Good spot for a small group, or a date!

    Although the menu is somewhat limited to a relatively small number of dishes, the plates are excellent, imaginative and delicious. The service is courtuous and efficient. We went on a cold winter day and the temperature inside could have been a bit warmer. But averall it is an excellent restaurant. We will go back.

    We arrived and we well treated. We were sat at a good table as requested on the reservation. They noted that it was our first time and explained to us the concept of the place and provided us with recommendations for drinks and food. Food was prepared quickly and hot. Food was just awesome and flavorful. We were tended to well and ensure we were satisfied during the whole time. Drinks replenished when needed. Already recommended and we will definitely go back. Thank you.

    I was looking forward to the Vietnamese garlic noodles with brisket. Unfortunately they only serve the brisket during lunch now. Not sure why. To bad.

    Service was excellent, very good recommendations were made by the server and the food was delicious. Each guest enjoyed their choices. Ramen had a lot of depth to the broth and I could have had the brussel sprouts as a main dish, they were excellent. Highly recommend this unassuming restaurant.

    The server was great and very patient with our chatty group that didn't want to leave. Every dish and cocktail was amazing. Prices reasonable given the quality. The tuna crudo was the highlight! Will be back
