Came here for the hype and wasn't disappointed. We went on a Friday night and yes the wait is real (1 hour). Service was great. We sat upstairs and it started out somewhat calm/casual music but it got really loud quick once filled up. Only 1 bathroom stall for entire upstairs. Food wise, I'd avoid the karaage as tasted bland. Takoyaki and ramen was delish. Get the ravioli add-on. The $7 pumpkin pudding was worth it.

Craving for udon! I got a carbonara udon which is served with bacon, soft-boiled egg and cheese. It's not too creamy or heavy, just perfect to balance with salty bacon. I would need more udon to finish the sauce 🤤 This restaurant shares the area with Yokato Yokabai ramen. So 2 menus will be offered. Come early to have a seat or they also have a good system to book on a tablet and notify you once your table is ready.

I'd like to start by answering the main question: is this restaurant worth the hype? Unfortunately, no. We showed up around 7:40pm on a Saturday night and only got a table at 9:15pm. Thankfully, they have a system where you can check in and get a text when your table is ready, but the fact that they don't take reservations is already a bit of a deal breaker for me. The decor is great and really gives you the feeling of being in Japan. The atmosphere is lively and energetic rather than intimate. Service-wise, the staff was friendly and welcoming, although they clear plates extremely quickly, which makes the whole experience feel rushed. The restaurant is quite large, but tables are packed closely together, so if you're looking for something more intimate, this isn’t the right place. Food-wise, we tried the Takoyaki, which seems to be popular. It was tasty, but you’re supposed to get octopus inside and we found only a tiny piece. We also got the Karaage chicken which, to my taste, felt like basic breaded chicken—nothing special. As for the ramen, the broth was delicious and there were plenty of noodles. However, 20 minutes after placing our order, we were told they had run out of eggs and that our ramen would be eggless. Honestly, that was a big disappointment. The ramen itself was good, but not incredible—and definitely not worth the long wait. When we got the bill, the eggs weren’t removed from the price. I’m not going to fight over $1, but it’s a matter of respect and honesty toward customers. One last thing worth mentioning: going out to restaurants has gotten incredibly expensive lately, so I was pleasantly surprised that we could enjoy drinks and a full meal at a reasonable price. That was definitely a nice touch.

Stumbled upon this place on our Montreal trip and the Ramen was delicious!!! ♥️ amazing staff. There was a bit of a wait but they let us hang out upstairs so we don’t have to wait in the cold. Cocktails were yummy as well.
