The chef, Malcolm was wonderful to begin with. We ordered taiwanese beef noodle soup as well as the spicy duck wings as an appetizer. We also got the Shirley Temple to drink, and all the parts of the meal were absolutely wonderful. We stumbled upon this place by accident and will definitely be coming back whenever in town. The chef along with the waiter were super welcoming and even spent time talking with us.

Had a delicious veggie ramen and the vegetables were very fresh, and I liked the crunchy topping and the garlic. I want to return to try more stuff

the owner malcolm puts so much care and heart into all of the dishes. the food is all from scratch, but very reliable and consistent. the portions are healthy but not overwhelming. the dining room is comfortable and not overwhelming. such a delightful neighbourhood spot and well worth the trek to dine at. the food stays so good after multiple visits. the day after i dine here i crave it again! highly recommend. so many vegan and vegetarian and gluten free options! food for everyone and multiple options for all eating styles.

Waiter was either drunk or high. As a result, he was knocking glasses over, ignoring tables, taking 5 minutes to do simple tasks, etc. Sat there for 15 minutes waiting for him to take our order before walking out.
I feel bad for the owner who has to hire people like this. The food looked good and was bummed I couldn’t try it.

The ramen noodle with confit chicken was so ORIGINAL despite the name of the place. Confit chicken is rarely on a menu and this one was particularly delicious. The flavors were so rich and complex. I will return and it is going to be hard to order anything else as I keep thinking how good and restorative is this dish. The tofu appetizer was also outstanding; so delicate. The light crunch of the crust and the silkiness were delightful. Can’t wait to go back!
Everything we tried was absolutely delicious but a special shoutout to the fried oysters. A must when in the neighborhood!

Greatest Ramen ever. Kind staff. Good drinks. A neighborhood staple.

Came here because of all the positive reviews, but we did not have the same experience at all. The noodles were fine but nothing special- you can get better at many other local shops. But the real disappointment was the poor customer service. It was very difficult to get the server to pay attention to us- it took 20+ mins to have our order taken and another 20+ mins to get the bill paid. Additionally, we were served expired sodas to complement our mediocre meals. My recommendation is to go a few blocks north to some of the better shops in the area.

Unexpectedly amazing ramen! We had been meaning to stop by for awhile, but now that we have visited, we will be sure to go back soon. We got the mochi fried tofu at the recommendation of the server and it was delicious. And for ramen we both got the chicken ramen which came with a whole chicken leg with meat that literally just fell off the bone just by using chopsticks. The drinks were really good too! Will be back to try the tonkotsu ramen soon!
SO exciting to have a place of this caliber in my neighborhood! Lots of ramen places around but none come close. The ingredients, the quality of the food - feels like fine dining. Malcolm and the rest of the staff are cool cats. See you guys again next week.

The signature dish beef noodles was overpowered by the sugar, vinegar and cinnamon. The beef itself was very tasteless. The kind of noodles used was interesting because of the shape, however, it would have been better(easier to eat) if the noodles were longer instead only 2-3 inches long. The mochi tofu is unique and enjoyable in it's texture although the flavor of the sauce is rather too intense. The oyster deep fried was unnecessarily salty given that it's supposed to be dipped in the tasty aioli mayonnaise sauce. The ambience and service are great.

Loved the cold soba noodles with Asian pear, cucumber, and beef. Delicious icy broth and so refreshing on a summer night. Great chef/owner and bartender. It’s clear that there’s a lot of love and care in the food here and that makes all the difference in quality and flavor.
The food was alright — you can tell they use good, fresh ingredients, but there’s something missing. The noodles were cooked well, though the broth could use more flavor and thickness to really make the dishes shine. The place itself is very clean and well-kept.
My drink, however, was pretty bad — flat, almost like gin mixed with sake but without any flavor. Definitely not something I’d order again.
And then there was the most unexpected part: someone inside had a macaw. The bird was colorful, sure, but it was also pooping in the restaurant, which was… strange, to say the least.
Overall, decent food with potential, but the drinks need work — and the parrots probably belong outside.
