Fresh baked bread (selection of rye, foccacia, whole wheat and white), and sandwiches made exactly to order. Two sizes, the regular perfect for me. Fast service and lots of room to eat. I had the tuna luna which was moist and tasty finished with ordered garnishes which were also fresh. Our party had all the breads with various sandwiches custom built, and they were all fresh and tasty.

Always want to try this ramen house as they were being advertised as the first ramen house in Edmonton to serve made-in-house noodles.Went there for a very late lunch (early dinner may be?) with my husband on a Saturday. The restaurant was not very busy due to the time of the day. The decor of the restaurant was simple and modern. We each ordered a custom ramen (Spicy Miso with Pork Shoulder, and Shio with Pork Belly) and a beer as the Dragon IPA was having a $2 off promotion on Saturdays.The noodles were definitely freshly made. They had a nice firmness to the bite and tasted fresh; however they were not the typical type of noodles used in ramen. They looked like noodles used in ramen but tasted more like Chinese egg noodles to me. Nevertheless, they were good noodles.My shio soup was creamy and flavorful yet not too heavy. I drank all the soup and did not feel thirsty after the meal which means they did not use MSG. The pork belly was on the dry side and failed to achieve the "melt-in-your-mouth" texture. It was not very flavorful either. The egg was nicely done with soft gooey yolk. The other two toppings I chose were sweet corn and bamboo shoot. My husband's spicy miso soup was a bit disappointing. The spiciness was probably from shichimi (7-spice powder) and was dominating. We couldn't taste anything else. Pork shoulder was very lean and again, bland. Overall, the ramen we had were very average in Albertan (not Japanese) standard.The portion of the custom ramen was decent for its price ($13.50). Service was average. A minor complaint was that they gave us our bill when I still had 1/2 of my beer left.And then here are why I gave it a 2-star review instead of 3.We asked for the bill, and it was our fault to a degree that we did not check it before we paid. After we left, we noticed they did not apply the $2 off promotion to our bill :(Another thing that bugs me the whole time was the water bottle. It's a Q water jug although I am not sure if it was indeed Q water (we were not charged extra). I just couldn't take my eyes off the water bottle as its rim and bottom was covered by the white mineral deposits. Even though the mineral deposits are not going to kill me, it was an eyesore. And I just stopped drinking the water after I noticed it.
