I have only been here for weekdays lunch multiple times, and it is very quiet, too much I would say, so I assume they must get busier at night...
Menu is quite short but consistently very good.
Easy parking, fast service and comfortable seating, all together make this place an exceptional ramen place far from Downtown Vancouver where they mostly tend to be... -

es not care about being accommodating to guests, and just over all won't be bothered for anything.
We asked him to explain the menu and he said it's all in the description. We asked him what one of the flavours was and he said that's just the flavour.
The music is deafeningly loud. I asked him to turn it down, he said he can't touch it. It's a BT speaker. Cranked ALL THE WAY LOUD. He said we can move to the other side. We did, oh what's that? Another one on this side!
This kind of behaviour is not suitable when there's so many other places to choose to give business.
Another huge thing..they're liars. The menu says house made noodles. Couldn't be farther from the truth! They're basic, instant ramen noodles. So on top of the wretched service, the false advertise!
Btw, the phone doesn't work. -

Had a bad experience. Was there at 7:50pm. Was asked to wait for 30 mins. Looked around, doesn't look like a restaurant, more like a pub environment. Food variety was very limited and was prepared to order the recommended dishes. Finally, got our table but was told no food other than chicken wings and ramens. Should have let us know instead of waiting for table. Left without ordering anything. Only one cook and one helper. Although have not try any food but will not go there again.
Today Aug 28,2019. My kids were telling me many people commented the noodle and soup are really good. So, I decided to give them a chance. After arriving at 6pm, the shop is closed!!! The operating hours on the front door indicating it is supposed to open from 11am to 8pm! Tried calling the telephone number and the number is not assigned!! Checked their website and it's under construction!!! What can I say? Can I give zero star? -

I was in Coquitlam when I decided to check out this place. It is right beside Mackin Park, and is quite a small place probably only having 8 tables in total. The restaurant is avengers themed which I didn't realize until I saw the menu having ramengers noodles. I was served quite quickly, but the menu didn't have much to choose from. I wasn't in the mood for ramen, and everything was pretty cheap so I ordered two items.
I had the Spicy Cold Noodles with Smoked Pork ($18) which was a pretty good price for the amount of food and how full I was afterwards. The pork was pretty tasty, but the main items that stood out we're the kimchi flavored radishes, which were pickled well and at a nice spicy level. Other than that, I found the noodle sauce a bit too sweet, and would have preferred warm noodles rather than the cold ones served. The pork was also a little bit too wet when I received it, and I didn't really get the smoky taste I was looking for.
It's a cool spot hidden in Coquitlam, but ive had more inspired Korean food around Vancouver. I liked the avengers theme of the restaraunt though, and think the prices are quite reasonable for what you get. -

Kind of a love hate relationship with this place.
Starting with the love.
Amazing Korean(ish?) ramen cooked with care. The pork is not only included (Japanese places you have to pay extra) , but sizeable, smoky, sweet, succulent and sooo tender. The marinated egg is soft and gooey almost melting into the broth when you split it open. The noodles are a great tasting, handmade medium cooked perfectly for the flavorful broth. Definitely recommend the spicy broth, it's just the right kind of flavory spicy combo that you're not dying trying to eat. They have HERO spicy and it's definitely spicy AF although I feel the flavor slightly falls off. Plot twist, get the spicy cheese! It's the weirdest combo but the gooey melted mozzarella with the noodles is a great combination and adds more heartiness to the dish.
Now the hate. The music is TERRIBLE! Like they have a great sound system with great clarity and bass. . . To play every female depressing, annoying, whiney pop ballad you've never heard (for a reason!). And it never ends! Endless s*itty pop songs/remixes and superballads at a slightly loud enough to make you cringe volume. The quirky figurines and Impersonal service is fully okay but the music loses two stars from me
Go there for the food and you won't be disappointed. But you WILL be aurally assaulted by Demi Lovato singing about how "this is me"
