This
ramen
place
is
located
in
North
York
close
to
the
North
York
Centre
subway
station.
Street
parking
available
on
Yonge
St
or
side
street.
$4
hr
for
street
parking.
There's
a
Saryo
Japanese
dessert
cafe
at
the
front
and
ramen
restaurant
in
the
back.
There
is
a
large
community
bar
table
in
the
middle
with
bar
chairs
and
small
tables
on
each
side.
The
aisles
between
the
bar
table
and
dining
tables
are
narrow.
My
jacket
kept
getting
pushed
around
everytime
someone
walked
by.
Not
a
great
start.
We
ordered
a
few
appetizers.
Chicken
karaage,
edamame,
fried
King
mushroom.
The
chicken
was
crispy
and
juicy
and
served
with
wasabi
mayo.
Probably
the
best
appetizer
of
the
3.
The
edamame
were
as
advertised
nothing
special.
The
King
mushrooms
were
thinly
sliced
and
crunchy.
I
wasn't
really
impressed
and
would
not
order
it
again.
Now
for
the
ramen
my
wife
ordered
the
Smoky
black
Tonkatsu
ramen
$15.50
regular
size
($20.50
for
supersize).
The
cloudy
pork
bone
broth
was
rich
and
flavorful
however
the
soup
was
not
served
piping
hot.
There
were
2
slices
of
pork
chashu,
some
cherry
tomatoes.
The
bowl
was
missing
smoked
ground
pork
and
pancetta
as
mentioned
in
the
menu
description.
The
noodles
were
cooked
properly.
They
charge
extra
$2
for
a
boiled
egg
$17.50
for
regular
size.
My
signature
clam
broth
ramen
($15.50
regular
+
$2
boiled
egg)
was
brown
clear
broth.
They
put
my
egg
in
my
nephew's
order
by
mistake.
There
were
2
slices
of
chashu
in
the
bowl.
Very
small
portions
of
porcini
flakes.
Overall
the
broth
was
also
very
flavorful
and
rich.
Overall,
I
would
say
the
portions
were
small
and
I
didn't
see
the
value
in
paying
$17.50
per
person.
Maybe
this
was
an
off
day
for
the
kitchen.
The
main
orders
did
not
come
out
at
the
same
time.
It
would
be
nice
to
be
able
to
eat
at
the
same
time
with
your
guests.
If
you
have
a
big
appetite
I
suggest
going
with
the
supersize.
You
are
paying
a
premium
for
the
fancy
ingredients
like
truffle
oil,
porcini
flakes,
clam
broth,
etc.
I
have
tried
other
ramen
restaurants
and
I
personally
would
not
come
back
here.
The
service
was
just
adequate.
They
did
refill
our
glasses
of
water
but
nobody
came
by
to
ask
if
we
are
enjoying
our
food.
I
know
most
businesses
are
still
short
staff
but
I
suggest
better
teamwork
and
coordination
with
the
kitchen
and
serving
staff
to
improve
overall
customer
experience.
