This Ottawa favourite has won over locals with its bold Asian fusion dishes. The menu may be small, but every item delivers big flavours—the Beast Ramen stands out with its rich, complex broth, while the brussels sprouts have earned a loyal following. The Vietnamese garlic noodles with brisket are another highlight, perfectly balancing savoury depth with tangy pickled onions. A cozy setting and knowledgeable staff make for a welcoming experience, though it does get busy, so reservations are a good idea. While portions might be on the smaller side for some, the deep, carefully crafted flavours make every bite worth it—you’ll be craving this place long after you leave.
