Been a few days, just saw this thread again haha. Anyway, my little brother introduced me to this little hole in the wall Japanese restaurant, and it's pretty damn good. Called Kamamarui (spelling..?), on Kingsway and Royal Oak.
Tiny little place, only seats like, 8 people plus a 3 person bar. Very cool minimalist interior styling, which makes the place look clean and tidy.
Had the ramen, I think it was a Shio ramen, and had extra noodles with it. It was amazing. I've only ever been to G-Men, haven't tried Santouka or Kintaro, but I'm sure this place is at least on par with theirs. The pork was something different; it was sliced thicker than other places and had some extra spices to it.. super good. Soup was very flavourful, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. I ordered the ramen + bomb, which were these little rice balls, seasoned and covered in seaweed or something. Those were good too, pretty bomb in fact. I MADE A PUN.
Brother had the chicken scandal. Two full chicken breasts, fried (you can also get it grilled) and covered in japanese mayo and teriyaki sauce, served over rice. I snuck a piece, and it was delicious as well.
We also shared assorted tempura, and bacon rolls lol. Tempura was on point; batter was crunchy but light, and the bacon rolls, made with bacon, red onion, iceberg, mayo and mustard, was surprisingly light and refreshing.
All this was run by 2 guys; one in front taking orders and waiting tables, and the other making all the food, to order. I seriously hope these guys get more clientele and need to expand.
9.5/10, easily.
Oh, also, sorry I didn't take pictures. My brother isn't a fan of it.. haha.
