Stumbled upon this restaurant while looking for a Christmas Eve dinner. Everyone in our party loves sushi & ramen! Whats also an amazing plus is their Tapas style menu that allows you to try so many of their high-quality dishes that are super flavourful. Im sorry that I never got the names of their staff, but they're some of the more pleasant & courteous persons you'll find. While every other restaurant was bent on having a reservation, though they had room because we had 2 kids, they'd deny us. However, the moment I walked in & mentioned our size, they never hesitated to meet our needs. It is an amazing place with really fresh ingredients, high-quality seafood, a really nice atmosphere, & their prices were fantastic! 6 stars!!!

Quick service. Sushi menu price is fair. Place feels like in Japan. Got the kalbi with rice & chicken bao buns. The kalbi tasted right, but the bao buns was kind of tough to bite on. Overall, I still recommend going there & just get the kalbi with rice which is enough & cheaper than ramen bowl.

Me & a group were on a business trip to Quebec & we were craving soup. Our initial idea was pho but all the Vietnamese restaurants were either closed or not open late enough for us. So we opted for ramen! The restaurant's vibes & interior was a fusion of modern club-like aesthetic & Japanese decor. The automated lucky cat & ramen display was cool at the store front. Interior is spacious & we got to choose anywhere to sit. The food came out quick & most of what we ordered was tasty. For the appetizers, the kimchi was a bit too sweet for my liking; perhaps it was not fermented long enough. Warning with the kimchi, it was too spicy for my colleagues but I thought it was fine as I'm normally used to eating spicy food. We ordered the edamame & the seasoning they put in that numbs your mouth after eatting it for awhile. I think they use peppercorn or something. I have never had edamame numb my mouth before. With the main dishes, all the ramen tasted pretty generic. One of my colleagues had dietary restrictions & they were able to accommodate her & take certain ingredients out. If you order the duck ramen, the meat is sweet almost as if they used marinated duck meat. I felt it didn't go well with the rest of the soup taste. I also ordered a ramen combo that came with a chicken cutlet. The chicken cutlet was left a little too long in the deep fryer but regardless it still tasted good, just extra crunchy! We shared a L'arc en ciel roll aka rainbow roll. This one was alright, not the most outstanding taste. The okonomiyaki & salmon nigiri were really tasty. I'd recommend those as you can't go wrong. The service was a bit slow. The restaurant at night looked like it was run by young teens & I stared for a good 5 min watching the young waitress scrolling through her phone. Our table also ran out of water & I again had to wave her down & get her attention. I think if I were to come here again, I would stick with the sushi & nigiri next time. Some of the appetizers are a hit or miss but would be interesting to try the other stuff on their menu. Still, it's a great restaurant for late night eats & decent price if you don't mind the slow service.
