We went on a Friday, so it was pretty busy in the kitchen, but the servers were attentive and checked in on us while we were waiting. At this location, you pay up at the cash and take a number to the table, but we found that the servers were very attentive and helpful.We ordered the Korean Fried Chicken to start which was flavourful and tasted great!I ordered the Vegan Mapo Tofu Ramen with extra sesame tofu and pickled shiitake. I really enjoy this ramen, it has great flavour! One small thing I'd suggest is that there are more pickled shiitake pieces for the upcharge, I think mine came with 3 small pieces for the extra $1.50.My partner ordered the Dragon's Breath Ramen.

I love that they’re all locally-sourced/regional ingredients as well.It’s really rad that their noodle machine is in plain sight, and it’s really gratifying for ramen nerds like myself to see employees working with it in real-time. Pay no mind whatsoever to the negative reviews saying things about salt levels or the noodles. If you enjoy real ramen, this is the place you need to visit in Kitchener.

The portion sizes were decent, but the flavors could use some fine-tuning. I prefer to give honest feedback on my dining experiences, even if it's not always positive.

Portions are okay but the flavours need some improvement. I hate to leave negative reviews but I am always honest with my experiences
