OMNOMNOM ramen

See All Lists
Toronto doesn't seem to have much of a Japanese culture - especially on ramen. This may be due to the stigma of instant ramen noodles. Despite all that, I still enjoy my ramen. Here are some ramen houses that I found in Toronto (including the not-so-great-ones).

I went here for dinner yesterday.  Considering that I had a sushi overload in the last two weeks - I didn't want anymore sushi.  I opted for the ramen option and it was great!  I ordered the red miso ramen.  It contained seaweed, naruto, fish balls,…More »

I found this place using Urbanspoon on my BlackBerry.  My friend and I decided to try it out.

The place was slightly tiny, so it was hard to get a nice seat away from the other people in the place.

My friend and I ordered the Miso Ramen.  It was…More »

Located in the adorable little area of J-Town, Niwatei is tucked in next to Izakaya Ju.

The restaurant was okay - simple decor: casual area holding about 30 people with a little bar to overlook the chefs cooking  the ramen.  Service was okay - doesn't…More »

If you go around lunch time, they have this "special" where you can add $1 and get a "combo."  You can add a california roll, crab and roe salad, tofu, or whatever onto it.  It's a nice little snack before your lunch.

I order the Aso takana pickle…More »

It was probably -20 degrees Celsius here in Toronto.  My friend and I wanted something nice, warm, and homey in the area.  We were thinking of getting pork bone soup, but we were going to cook some pork bone soup that night, so we decided not to.  I…More »

I came here the other day with my best friend.  I've been here before, but didn't have much of a recollection of how good/bad it was.  So we decided to opt for some food.

We ordered a "sake roll" - which included salmon, avocado, cucumber, and masago…More »
