"Service was so quick, I was surprised and thé food was amazing. I got the spicy miso ramen and I loved it! I’ll be back again"

"Oh definitely high recommendations for their nagasaki champon (seafood ramen). Went to eat on a weekday evening, not too many people. I think especially that day was a bit chilly and raining, having the bowl of seafood broth ramen was such an amazing experience! It gets busy during lunch and dinner period, so if you want a dine-in, it might best to consider going in earlier than busy period."

"Really the best ramen I've had outside of Japan! During our visits with the ship we've been at Buta ramen for 5 times this summer, when I'm back in Halifax I'll definitely will go back there. Spicy Miso Ramen with wavy noodles absolutely to die for"

"The ramen was average — nothing exceptional, but not bad either. The price was reasonable, and the staff were very friendly."

"Ordered spicy miso Ramen and the potato croquettes. Ramen was very tasty. Had a nice spice level and the noodles were nice and chewy. The chasu was chopped up which I didn't like as much but it was a good amount. The potato croquettes had a great crunch on our side and a soft center. Will be back."
