Japanese Inspiration

STEP 1

The two pillars of Japanese ramen are regionality and innovation. We take inspiration from the principles of Japanese ramen and use them to answer the question: what does ramen look like across the world?

We believe the only true rules of ramen are to constantly bend the rules.

REAL INGREDIENTS

STEP 2

We pride ourselves on using real, high-quality ingredients in all of our recipes. We carefully select and partner with trusted producers to ensure that every dish is crafted from the freshest meats, vegetables, and plant-based proteins. Our noodles are made with the highest quality Canadian wheat. Our dedication to using real ingredients means you can taste the difference in every slurp.

We serve a variety of ramen styles and are proud that our menu contains a high proportion of vegan, vegetarian, and pork-free bowls and snacks.

scratch-made

STEP 3

Wherever possible, we make our menu items from scratch.

We make our noodles daily, and our dedicated Noodle Maker spends each day operating our noodle machine imported straight from Japan. Many of our offerings are based on Miki's family recipes, including our Gyoza, which are folded in our shops every day.
