Buta ramen

Excellent ramen. Got the tantanmen as it's my go-to and this did not disappoint. Rich and flavourful, eggs were excellent, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. Recommend getting an extra egg and the broth extra spicy. It's not overwhelming and adds extra flavour. I went in the middle of the afternoon on a sunny day because I had a craving, but every time I've gone the service is super quick and the atmosphere is lively but quiet enough to have a meaningful conversation. Definitely a great spot on a rainy day or in the winter months.

A hidden gem right downtown! Pretty cozy space with not a lot of seating, so keep that in mind if you have a larger group attending. Their vegetarian ramen is delicious, so flavorful and loaded with toppings. They also offer a tasty korokke (croquette) if you're looking for a veggie appetizer. The tables each have some additional toppings as well if you want to kick it up a notch. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of options for Japanese brews and liquors - their sake was smooth and tasty - nothing fancy, but just nice to have the option available on a cold day. Would recommend checking it out if you have an itch for ramen in the downtown core.

My one of the favorite place for veg ramen noodles. I also tried two more veg options. Outstanding flavours. On each table in dinning area, they have a chilli oil, dry garlic flacks and pickled ginger. You can also ask for extra chilli if you like spicy kick.
