The other people on here are right about the Tonkotsu Ramen. This probably exceeds most ramen-only shops. I don't usually drink the soup but I find myself almost polishing it off. It's light but filled with umami flavor and the grilled pork is amazing too. They didn't take any shortcuts with the onsen egg too, it has the shoyu flavor it's supposed to and just slightly underdone. The atmosphere is chill and homely and service is quick. You can leave in 15-20...

The only place in Halifax that I have found Kitsune Udon and it is so delicious and the deep fried tofu is so sweet. One of my favorite places to have lunch at. And the price is so reasonable!

Great service, reasonable prices, and decent ambience. Only complaint is that they serve escolar/butterfish as part of their assorted sashimi. It’s not even legal to serve the fish in Japan and it was a bummer to find it on our plate. I assume some people like it, but it was disappointing for us.
