K, had the ramen, the Ryoji one with the seasoned egg and extra pork.
It was okay/good but not as good as Kinton, Santouka (sp?) or even Raaji (sp?, the place on gerrard). Of the recent places I have tried it ranks at the bottom, but, still "good" just not great in my books.
I think part of that feeling might have been the service. I never felt so rushed out of a place before. I still had my chopsticks/spoon in my hand and the waitress came around and was like "are you done too??" and there will still noticeably food in the bottom of the bowl. geez.
I much prefered the experiences at the other spots. Even though they were all busy, I never felt rushed or bugged. The other places all let me ask for the bill when I was ready. I don't know if it has to do with different serving styles of what (non-asian vs. asian?).
We got there early-ish (6:30) and it was filling up by the time we left but there were still empty tables. I didn't find the noise levels loud, or , at least didn't notice them. I also laughed at the menu design after reading the comments here and seeing it in person.
I will probably go back to try some other stuff when in the area again, but so far it isn't a "destination" place for me.
