Tony was giving great suggestions on menu. His sincerely explained on the various choices of customers’ preference! His explanation is very genuine and helpful. My first time tasted the fried king mushroom: it was crunchy, yummy, not too heavy, not oily, simple and delicious. My son loves spicy, they have their house sauce which my son loves the most is for the chicken karaage! I wish I can taste the lobster ramen special for north York location; which was created by chef Yamamoto!!!! I am looking forward for it
Cool ramen joint that isn't one of the larger franchises. The interior is cool but feels a little cramped. The ramen is very good but the menu is limited. They were out of gyoza when I arrived but I'd like to try that next time.Spicy red ramen was good! The pork I got was not as flavourful as I thought itd be but perhaps it was overpowered by the broth and spice.There's a little dessert area in the front but they were out of ice cream at the time.Worth a stop!
Lovely location in combination with Saryo cafe for some nice dessert after a hearty meal.Amazing broth and unique noodle type. Just as great as the uptown location. Price point is a bit higher than their competitors but they're definitely different.Service and interior design was good. Clean and spacious.
Excellent and rich broth for the ramen. Noodles were a good texture. The smoked tomatoes were delicious. Sous vide meat was also well seasoned. The portioning was heavier on the noodle side. Prices are on the higher end. Interior is clean, stylish. Limited table seating, you may have to wait for a table or settle for the high bar (unless that’s what you’re looking for).
I ordered ramen from here for the first time today for lunch and I ordered for takeout and the food was amazing!! I loved how they kept the broth separate from the actual noodles so we can pour them ourselves so it doesn’t get cold and it was a fun experience. The portions were also good and enough for one person. The staff was also friendly and helpful so I would definitely order from this place again??
This ramen place is located in North York close to the North York Centre subway station. Street parking available on Yonge St or side street. $4 hr for street parking. There's a Saryo Japanese dessert cafe at the front and ramen restaurant in the back. There is a large community bar table in the middle with bar chairs and small tables on each side. The aisles between the bar table and dining tables are narrow. My jacket kept getting pushed around everytime someone walked by. Not a great start.We ordered a few appetizers. Chicken karaage, edamame, fried King mushroom. The chicken was crispy and juicy and served with wasabi mayo. Probably the best appetizer of the 3. The edamame were as advertised nothing special. The King mushrooms were thinly sliced and crunchy. I wasn't really impressed and would not order it again.Now for the ramen my wife ordered the Smoky black Tonkatsu ramen $15.50 regular size ($20.50 for supersize). The cloudy pork bone broth was rich and flavorful however the soup was not served piping hot. There were 2 slices of pork chashu, some cherry tomatoes. The bowl was missing smoked ground pork and pancetta as mentioned in the menu description. The noodles were cooked properly. They charge extra $2 for a boiled egg $17.50 for regular size.My signature clam broth ramen ($15.50 regular + $2 boiled egg) was brown clear broth. They put my egg in my nephew's order by mistake. There were 2 slices of chashu in the bowl. Very small portions of porcini flakes. Overall the broth was also very flavorful and rich.Overall, I would say the portions were small and I didn't see the value in paying $17.50 per person. Maybe this was an off day for the kitchen. The main orders did not come out at the same time. It would be nice to be able to eat at the same time with your guests.If you have a big appetite I suggest going with the supersize. You are paying a premium for the fancy ingredients like truffle oil, porcini flakes, clam broth, etc.I have tried other ramen restaurants and I personally would not come back here. The service was just adequate. They did refill our glasses of water but nobody came by to ask if we are enjoying our food. I know most businesses are still short staff but I suggest better teamwork and coordination with the kitchen and serving staff to improve overall customer experience.
Really good ramen place. The egg was perfectly seasoned, the meat just almost melts in your mouth. Wagyu ramen was absolutely delicious, only problem is that there wasn't enough
They make dam good ramen and quick service
Always incredible service and flavor from this location! My go to is the Black Tonkotsu with Tamago. I used to go to this location before covid when they wouldn't do take out, but funny enough, enjoy this dish a lot more as takeout. The ingredients are very fresh, the pork is tender and flavourful and the broth is deliciously creamy. Perfect for a cold winter day.I look forward to going back many more times!
The proof is in the Ramen. It’s absolutely delicious, the egg is seasoned. The beef broth was beautifully seasoned! I’m coming back for the takeaway frozen kits. I can understand why the sold out. They are following covid protocols, it’s clean and I feel safe here. The staff were friendly, helpful, courtesy and professional. Thank you! I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family to try.
