What to Order
The Beast Ramen
This ramen is a rich, flavorful bowl featuring bacon, often praised for its depth and comforting qualities.
"Being from Toronto and visiting Ottawa I’ve tried more ramen shops than I can count but nothing has ever hit me the way the “beast ramen”did. Its rich, deep, and comforting in a way that feels almost nostalgic, hands down the best ramen I’ve ever had"

Dan Dan Noodles
A popular noodle dish known for its peanutty flavor and often a good kick of spice.
"Consistently great food and service. Will always come back for the Dandan noodles and fun cocktails."

Chicken Karaage
Crispy and flavorful Japanese-style fried chicken, a highly recommended appetizer.
"The chicken Karaage was really good, super flavourful and nice and crispy."
Amelia Lam
Brussels Sprouts
A standout appetizer, these Brussels sprouts are often described as "unreal" and perfectly prepared.
"Brussels sprouts were unreal, and crudo was nice but very spicy."
Amanda Bergin
Vietnamese Garlic Noodles
These garlic noodles are a flavorful and filling main, often paired with brisket.
"I adore Asian cuisine, and the tuna and scallop sashimi were simply outstanding, while the garlic Vietnamese noodles were love at first bite."
Aleara Lokly
Ube Crème Brûlée
A unique and memorable dessert, this crème brûlée features the distinctive ube flavor.
"Also had to try the chicken wings and the Ube crème brûle which were both unique. The wings were seasoned perfectly and the Ube crème brûle was a new experience for us."
