-
The broth isn't overly salty or heavy — it's rich and creamy but still clean, perfumed with chicken oil rather than drowned in fat.
-
The chashu is tender and flavorful without being greasy, and the egg is exactly how I like it: jammy yolk, seasoned whites.
-
A super rich broth, with the option to add rice and extra toppings like garlic paste, pickles and onions.
-
The noodles are pleasant and chewy.
-
Best veggie ramen in Toronto!
