Absolutely terrible. Mediocre food delivered so late that I cancelled, they agreed, and then deceptively sent it anyway and charged me for stale old cold food. Avoid at all costs

I can’t imagine ramen tasting any better. I’ve tried the chicken curry and pork broths - both were completely fantastic. Loads of flavour and perfect serving sizes. Excellent service and delicious dumplings too! A must for ramen fans looking to eat in downtown Ottawa.

it's exactly what I've experienced in Tokyo. small, cosy, many "strangers" at the same table. But that's Japan. Feels like you have to rush it, to give a chance to the others, and in this way feels more like fast food, but it's the same feeling as Tokyo one. Just that the food needs and deserves to be enjoyed better than fast food...but maybe there other style of Japanese restaurants where we would have this chance 😉

Enjoy it people, it's worth it 😜
