I had already been in the downtown and Burnaby area for 3 days on business and well fed. I dropped in here on my last night by myself and sooooo happy I did! It was the the most authentic and flavour meal I had during my 4 day visit!! The chicken broth is silky and buttery, the curry dishes pack a flavour punch and you get a good portion serving for the price. I even ordered a couple extra dishes to-go back to the hotel for midnight snacks. Lol. On top of that, all of the staff was super welcoming, friendly and attentive. I will be back here hands down on my next trip back if in the area.

Solid Japanese ramen place. Ok pricing Ok portion size Ok service and solid tasty ramen soup. If you are in mood for Japanese ramen and are nearby, this is a good place to drop by.

Delicious and they greatly improved their spicy miso ramen when compared to how it was before, plus they have fantastic onsen eggs

Great tasting ramen and very friendly service staff. Does get busy. Be ready to wait in line for 20mins or longer We both had the chashu tamago ramen along with dashimaki and gyoza. I did not think I would like the chicken based broth as much as I did since i almost always go for shoyu or tonkatsu ramen but, the ramen tasted so damn good. Broth was super smooth and savoury and the thin noodles were springy and still had a bite to them. The chashu pieces and the tamago were done really well too. Falling apart chashu and a perfectly cooked marinated egg having a gooey yoke. What else can you ask for? Awesome place to try out!

Great place that specializes in simple, straightforward yet delicious ramen bowls. I had the spicy chashu tomagu pork thingamajig and it was delicious. The creamy, rich broth is an absolute winner and the noodles were served al dente and perfectly complimented the rest of the dish. My only caveat is that for the price, the bowl is a touch light and doesn't leave you feeling stuffed like you would most pho or ramen places. However, its quality makes one forget about that pretty quickly.

My family and I were so satisfied with the food here. The broth of the ramen was so delicious and we love the texture of the noodles!

Always seeing a line-up outside this ramen shop. Today, found it with no line-up, so drop it for a bowl. Came in, heard the waitress talking with fluent Japanese to the kitchen. Good sign. Not that this would automatically translate to good authenticated food, but a better chance at least. I was having the standard Tamago ramen. Noodle was good texture. Soup was authentic, base on my experience. The half-boiled egg was really soft inside. Chasiu was a bit dry but acceptable. Size was ok, actually bigger than a lot of downtown ones with higher price. 15 was very ok. Good experience. May come back if no line-up.

Nice little restaurant with simple decor and great staff. Yes, they're cheerful, fast, and welcoming. My husband had the aka miso ramen while I had the tamago (with 2 pieces of chasiu pork and a marinated soft egg). The flavor was on point, portions were great. I recommend you order the side fried garlic, best spent 1! Will be back!
