Ramen may be unfamiliar to many people as it's not really served in the mainstream restaurants very often. So if you want to experience why it's a popular dish in Japan, Muku is a good bet.
The wonton tonkotsu ramen I ordered had a great broth that had a good pork flavour to it. There's a lot of seasoning in it, so for some palates it may be overwhelming, but take it slow and savour the broth and it can be more enjoyable. That is until the end when all the sediment gets pretty concentrated at the bottom of the bowl - remember to constantly stir.
The noodles and pork are well prepared. Imagine a thicker, heavier textured type of ichiban noodles and it still doesn't do Muku's noodles justice. The pork slice is a nice addition to the soup for flavour and body. The wontons may have been too much for me, but they are delicious with their hand wrapped quality.
As mentioned there are other menu items and the Unagi Don was good, but nothing that made it stand out from other Japanese restaurants. It was a pretty large bowl with plenty of rice providing good value.
Located next to Globefish on Kensington both restaurants share a parking lot, so be prepared to park on the street or in the adjacent neighbourhood during busy hours
