Got takeout here and our broth container broke so they offered us a new one. They repackaged our entire meal and gave us a pot of green tea while we waited. The tonkatsu ramen was delicious, highly recommend. And having books in the restaurant is really cute
November 2025
This spot offers the best Tonkotsu Ramen in Halifax! They do the best they can about their subterranean atmosphere with decorations, soft but sufficient lighting, and jazz music. The employees and owner are very pleasant and will be happy to serve you a delicious meal. Ramen is my favourite but there are lots of other great dishes to enjoy.
November 2025
I really enjoyed my experience here. It felt genuinely authentic without trying too hard. The food was amazing, the ramen was the best i’ve ever had in Halifax. Definitely will come back again.
