Nestled in a cozy corner of Toronto, this authentic Japanese ramen store offers a delightful culinary journey for ramen enthusiasts. Upon stepping into the warmth of the establishment, one is greeted by the inviting aroma of simmering broth and the promise of a satisfying meal.
My recent visit to this quaint eatery left me with mixed feelings, albeit mostly positive. The Nostalgic Japanese Shoyu, priced at $16.25, delivered a rich and flavorful broth that warmed both body and soul. The noodles, cooked to perfection, provided a comforting base for the savory concoction. However, the portion size left something to be desired; considering the price point, a heartier serving would have been appreciated.
Opting for the Shio Plum Ramen at $15.95, I embarked on a culinary adventure tinged with nostalgia and innovation. The plum-infused broth offered a unique twist, with each spoonful bursting with tangy sweetness. The noodles, consistent with the store's standard, were impeccably cooked, though, again, a more generous portion would have elevated the experience.
Despite the minor setback of portion sizes, the efficient and amiable staff ensured a pleasant dining experience. Quick to take our orders and attentive to our needs, they contributed to the overall enjoyment of our meal.
Nostalgic Japanese Shoyu ($16.25)
Rich and perfectly cooked eggs (Additional egg $2.50)
The noodles were cooked perfectly, but thought they could have given more
Other than the portion size being a bit small, it was the best of the 2 that we had

Shio Plum Ramen ($15.95)
Both are similar in the sense that the noodles are perfect and the broth is rich, but the taste is very different
The plum taste really comes through with every bite you take throughout the whole meal
