My thoughts:
Came here with my dad add part 2 of my foodie adventure. We arrived at around 5pm and it was surprisingly quite busy.
I've been here a number of times and have learned that their tonkotsu ramen is by far my favourite, so that was what we ordered. We shared this.
Just to incorporate a little bit of variety, I chose the tonkatsu black ($9.85), which is ramen with pork belly, black fungus, egg, green onion and garlic oil. The only difference from the regular tonkatsu is the addition of garlic oil.. and 10 cents to the price. (I find it mildly amusing that they would charge 10 cents for an extra spoonful or two of oil, but okay. The pricing is at the restaurant's discretion.) Anyway, we also got extra noodles for $1.00.
My dad was surprised at how much he enjoyed this, so much so that of all the restaurants we went to tonight, he ranked this as his favourite. That surprised me even more, because this means it beat out his all-time favourite cuisine, Chinese - up until today, he has pretty much only liked Chinese food - so that's really saying something.
Anyway, the ramen was really good. Just as good as I remembered it to be. Now for the soup: which is better - tonkatsu or tonkatsu black? The garlic oil wasn't dramatically different, so I will be getting the regular tonkatsu to save myself on the extra calories. Portion size was good given that we were going to make a few stops tonight.
Just try this place out if you haven't already! Just don't go at peak meal hours.
