Tokasu specializes in ramen and laksa, which strikes me as a bit of an odd combo. I mean, I guess they are both noodle soups, but the resemblance kinda ends there. Still, they’re both delightful, so why not?
I ordered the laksa, since it’s quite a bit harder to find in the GTA. They actually have six different varieties of the dish; I went with the chicken white santan laksa, which they describe as their “signature laksa bowl featuring a fragrant coconut chicken broth, shredded chicken, tofu puffs, bean sprouts, and noodles.”
It’s quite good. The broth doesn’t quite have the complexity of the best versions of the dish, but it’s nice and creamy, with a zingy tanginess that helps to cut through its richness.
The noodles were a bit on the soft side, but the chicken (which comes sliced rather than shredded) is nice and tender and the tofu puffs do a great job of soaking up the broth.
It might not be the best I’ve ever had, but it’s a solid bowl of laksa. I’ll definitely have to come back to try the ramen.
