When I talked to the waitress about it, she told me that it's supposed to taste like that. If you order this, don't bother asking for water or a beer because the szechuan flavour is so strong that it altered the taste of everything for the worse.I get that this is a Chinese/Japanese restaurant, but I would hope that the customer service would be more "Canadian." The waitress was not at all interested in offering me an alternative. I'd clearly only had a bite or two. I guess I'm just used to restaurant employees wanting to make the customer happy. When I said that I didn't want the ramen and asked for the bill the waitress said, "You can pay and leave then." This is the main reason I am writing this review. I've never felt so unwelcome in my life. I didn't ask for an alternative; I didn't ask to not pay. However, any other restaurant might have asked me if I wanted something else off the menu, or at least been polite about my disappointment instead of with outright rudeness. I will never, ever go back to this restaurant again.

Inside is small but did not cramp my style . Menu is focused on the basics. The kindly lady that directs everything is keeping her cool! Ramen is super yummy! The soup is fantastic and the noodles are homemade to my palate.

Upon complaining, they said our party was not ready as I was outside parking the car(instead of sitting my husband who waited half an hour and he would have ordered for both us). I tried to explain why half an hour wait and being by-passed was unacceptable but was told by the owner this a ramen shop, they need to make money, they need to survive, they cannot wait!!! My five cents on it: keep the shop open longer hours, do take outs, treat your customers with respect, attract customers above 20 years old, don't try to run your business like you are in a Tsim Sha Tsui back alley. The food is average good and very copious I will spend my money elsewhere.

I’ve always ordered the Crispy Chicken Ramen (which I Love), but recently I started getting the Spicy Pork Chasu Abura Soba. It’s amazing. The pickle plate goes great with it and I usually get a marble pop too! Love the atmosphere they have now versus their old location with their custom made tables and chairs and a much bigger dining room. I look forward to my next Truly Tasty meal.

The only drawback is their irregular operating hours and limited staff, which can result in long wait times. However, the delicious food makes it worth it in the end.
