  First time here today!Oh my gosh, what a CUTE place! It’s so bright, nicely renovated, and has a cute/casual/modern feel to it. It was very clean inside.There is also a little mini shopping section off to the side. There’s pre-made takeaway stuff like soups, Buddha bowls, smoothies, drinks, cute t-shirts/tank tops, dry goods like nutritional yeast & amaranth and I saw some chickpea miso for sale in the fridge too! What we ordered: Organic nama shoyu ramen, Organic spicy tan tan ramen, Organic Kyoto style udon, Housemade kombucha, Fresh daily smoothie (chocolate/banana), 3 Monster chocolate chip cookies.Organic nama shoyu ramen: the broth had blended mushrooms in it and the ramen itself had different types of whole and halved mushrooms in it. The ramen noodles were cooked perfectly and the broth had really delicious flavour. There were organic mixed greens on top and truffle shallot oil in it. It all worked so well together. Would order it again.Organic spicy tan tan ramen: very rich creamy broth. Was not very spicy at all so don’t let the spicy title scare you away. The butternut sesame broth was so delicious. There was mushrooms in it and the ramen noodles in this one were perfectly cooked as well. VERY delicious ramen. Will most definitely order again.Organic Kyoto style udon: Very simple dish of just clear kelp/seaweed tasting broth, noodles and yuzu rind. Noodles were a little thinner than the typical udon noodles you see, I believe these are house-made. The house made kombucha was on tap and a light yellow colour. It was very light and really yummy tasting! Would definitely order again! The chocolate/banana daily smoothie was really thick, almost like a pudding! It had blended nuts in it and we ate it with a spoon. It was very good and was almost a meal in itself.The monster chocolate chip cookies were the size of our faces! And they were soft! I LOVE soft chocolate chip cookies…plus these were vegan so I just LOVE them. These cookies with a glass of almond milk…so good.I love that everything is vegan (or at least everything I saw). But they do offer soft boiled eggs if you want on your ramen as an add on.The service was great. Looks like this is a family run business and all the employees seem to be Japanese. They are so incredibly sweet and gracious. I can’t wait to come back again and try the Buddha bowl when we return to Vancouver.

  Oh hell yes. A delicious and healthy cafe serving up veggie/vegan ramen and buddha bowls and all sorts of tasty Japanese inspired dishes. Drove by here the other day on the way home from the gym and noticed it was PACKED! So I made a mental note to come try it out for myself, later in the week.Grabbed a friend and headed there for lunch and was NOT disappointed. I ordered their (Seasonal) Organic Spicy Tan Tan Noodles with a Soft Boiled Egg added. The butternut squash sesame miso broth is out of this world good. I don’t know what they put in their mushroom and nut medley that they dollop on top of the soup but good lord it is good. I would buy it if they sold it in bulk. I also ordered a vegan rice krispie square and took it home with me as I was too full after my meal to eat it and it was super tasty!The open concept kitchen and beautiful use of space/natural light makes this place very enjoyable to dine in. They’ve made great use of their space and even have solo seating at the bar where you can watch them prepare the dishes. I’m so happy this place is on the North Shore and I’m excited to visit them again, this weekend 🙂 Will definitely be eating my way through their menu!
