Slurp Burp

Though Café Diplomatico has lasted for decades at College and Clinton, over the last 10 years several restaurants have rotated through the cursed spot at the opposite corner including a Jamaican Jerk spot (AF1 Canteen). The latest contender is Tondou Ramen.

On Friday for lunch, I stopped by for a half-size bowl of shio ramen ($9) and some gyoza ($5). They were both good and on par with the better ones. Not a bad feat as there are now many ramen joints in Toronto. What made this spot a stand-out for me was the bevy of free condiments from soy-infused garlic to spicy bean sprouts.
