This place specializes in tonkotsu ramen, and boy is it good. I got the rich broth with fattier pieces of pork, and a side of kimchi, and a hot green tea to drink. The server was very polite and helpful at explaining the menu. The ramen bowls were gigantic, and soooo delicious. I had a medical procedure done earlier in the day and I needed a wholesome comfort food badly - and this was exactly what I needed. Price was super affordable, and even the toppings for the ramen - like the marinated soft boiled eggs and the marinated bamboo shoots - were great. The only downside was that they could do some work sprucing up the interior. Everything was clean, but it was kind of run down - this could deter people if they don't know what they're looking for. I saw many local people eating in there and there was a line outside, so I knew it had to be good despite the rough look, and I was right.

One of the best ramen I've ever had!! Stopped by for dinner and ordered some gyoza, the spicy garlic ramen, and miso ramen. Loved the spicy garlic ramen!!

There's a reason that there's always a lineup outside of this restaurant. I really love coming here for a warm bowl of ramen on a really cold day. I find that the portions are very large for what you get, sometimes I can't even finish the bowl because there's so much food! Quite a small place with only a few seats. Staff are really nice and willing to accommodate my peanut allergy with no issue :) this is a staple for us, and I will continue coming back here for great comfort food.

Always a line out the door at this place and for good reason! The portions are awesome for the price and the flavours are so extremely tasty. I love that you can choose how rich you would like your broth and I would recommend the fatty pork over the lean. For me, a small menu always indicates great quality and flavour! We were seated at the bar which was, in my opinion, are the best seat in the house. Watching the two chefs so in sync meticulously creating each bowl was like having dinner and a show! Overall a mellow place that does everything right. Bonus - hand made noodles!

Spicy Garlic Ramen definitely worth the wait. They're usually really quick. The ramen bowl was super big! We came after a long walk around Stanley Park, and ooofff this hit the spot! Spicy and garlicky!! A bowl for just $16.45! The noodles were soft and bouncy
