Food Scene

Currently this is my favourite ramen restaurant. It is delicious and has a nice ambience. You can choose thick or thin noodle (I like the thick chewy one), the soup base, and fat or lean pork (I get one piece of each). Try the okonomi gyoza. Tip: If you are a big eater, save some soup and ask for extra noodles.

This place is just a block away and has the best okanomi gyoza (gyoza drizzled with mayo, terriyaki sauce, bonito flakes, and green onion). Their ramen noodles are pretty good, too. We eat here frequently because it’s so close.

Amazing Japanese food here. They opened recently and is now my favourite place to eat. My recommendations are the tonkotsu rice, unagi bowl, chicken karage, and rainbow roll.
