Had a nice Friday dinner with my fam as we were yearning for some warm comfort food. We have ate at a lot of other ramen places and this place is one of the good ones. Their broth is so umami and their cha Siu and noodle package is so tasty and delicious. Only downside is we dish their bowls were a bit bigger. We had their Tori Paitan and Tori Shoyu ramen including their tomago rice dish which was smoky and delicious. Their gyozas were tasty as well. Highly recommend this ramen place if you’re looking for a warm and delicious bowl of comfort food ramen.

Chicken-based broth — really flavorful and comforting without being too heavy. The interior has a cozy and modern vibe that makes the dining experience even better. I also appreciated the free refillable tea, which is a nice and generous touch you don’t often see. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for something different from the usual pork-based ramen.

Great Ramen but the atmosphere for lunch is odd. Loud music playing even though it was a quiet day. The service was polite, but the space and the atmosphere felt a little impersonal. I ate and left and didn't want to linger.

Bad experience with this restaurant. There was two waiters serving something like 10 tables, but they didn’t provide any service whatsoever and never looked our way. We waited for 30-40 minutes for just two ramens and one sidedish, which was insane. Asked them to check on the order, and they said the kitchen’s busy, but to what looked like to us the tables weren’t all full. During our wait, the two waiters were running around chaotically and discussing about the orders, and my guess is, they screwed up our order by giving our ramens to a table that came after us.

Ordered their signature pork and chicken broth ramen, wasn’t a particular rich flavoured soup and it doesn’t taste like authentic Japanese chicken broth ramen. The white pepper taste in the broth was too overwhelming.

The chicken nanban was mediocre, not authentic flavour either, and it wasn’t even fried chicken style, it was like a half deep fried half pan fried chicken steak. The nanban sauce was not very flavourful.

Way overpriced for the quality of food and service. The nanban chicken costed $17 for the quantity of a sidedish. Not worth another visit.

TERRIBLE IN ALL CAPS!

My husband and I ordered Tori Shio Ramen (which contains 3 types of soy sauce and I know soy sauce can be salty) but this one was so unpleasantly salty to the point that was unedible and I think can kill a person with high blood pressure (I'm a healthy person myself in that sense but I think even healthy people can get really sick because of this)

Before that the server at the time brought the menus and then didn't pay attention to us at all after ordering and didn't bother to check up on us after a while to see if we wanted something else, plus she brought some bottle of weird water that looked like pee and when I smelled it it had a strong rum scent which we thought was really weird

Menu items are really overpriced compared to the quality and even though the place looks nice spending time there for a nice meal isn't worth it. We're not going back anymore

In conclusion, don't waste your time and money at a place like this, there's many other good ramen restaurants around the city that are worth going to

This place has become one of my favourite staple restaurants, the flavours are great the tea situation is very nice. I see a lot of people talk about the portions but for a 15-16 dollar bowl I’m pretty satisfied I would just opt for the extra noodles which comes with extra toppings including the chicken.

I also see a lot of mention of the service but me personally I just make eye contact and nod or wave someone over so I’d recommend being proactive if you need something.

You can request ur tea hot btw which is personal the way I like to go.

Overall a good time I try to come here once a month hahah

The creamy chicken soup is rich flavor, not salty and the chicken breast is so tender 😋. The Tori Shoyu also very good. The portion is not huge but just right for me and my husband. 👍👍👍

I got the Tori Paitan. They put in a lot of meat and toppings, which I love. However, I kind of wish they hadn’t put black pepper in the chicken, as it overpowered the dish a bit. I would’ve liked the soup to be a bit thicker, but I think it’s fairly good by Vancouver standards. The service was quick and nice.

Great vibe and great venue. Service is excellent as well. Unfortunately my soup was lukewarm when it arrived. Hence the 3 star. Hope they improve!
