The ramen soups and takoyaki were pretty good! The chicken karaage was not very crispy though, felt soggier than it should be.

This place has delicious Japanese food. I really enjoyed my dumplings and my ramen. I was a little bit frustrated with some aspects of the service though. I was sat on the far side of the restaurant and was completely ignored once I received my food. I tried for more than 15 minutes to ask for more water and not one server even looked at me. I had to eventually walk over to the counter and wait for someone to acknowledge me to get my water myself. Not the end of the world, but I would have liked someone to check on me at least once during the meal.

Amazing Ramen!! The Mai Tai Pineapple was DELICIOUS!! So yum! I really wish this was closer to home so I could have both again and again! Order the Miso Ramen and Mai Tai, you won’t be disappointed!

We tried their tonkotsu ramen. The broth looked good but could be richer. The portion was great with 3 thick slices of chasu and half of the egg which can be marinated better as well. Noodles used were the yellow noodles, came with bamboo shoots and black fungus. Service was excellent

Me and a group were on a business trip to Quebec and we were craving soup. Our initial idea was pho but all the Vietnamese restaurants were either closed or not open late enough for us. So we opted for ramen! The restaurant's vibes and interior was a fusion of modern club-like aesthetic and Japanese decor. The automated lucky cat and ramen display was cool at the store front. Interior is spacious and we got to choose anywhere to sit. The food came out quick and most of what we ordered was tasty. For the appetizers, the kimchi was a bit too sweet for my liking; perhaps it was not fermented long enough. Warning with the kimchi, it was too spicy for my colleagues but I thought it was fine as I'm normally used to eating spicy food. We ordered the edamame and the seasoning they put in that numbs your mouth after eatting it for awhile. I think they use peppercorn or something. I have never had edamame numb my mouth before. With the main dishes, all the ramen tasted pretty generic. One of my colleagues had dietary restrictions and they were able to accomodate her and take certain ingredients out. If you order the duck ramen, the meat is sweet almost as if they used marinated duck meat. I felt it didn't go well with the rest of the soup taste. I also ordered a ramen combo that came with a chicken cutlet. The chicken cutlet was left a little too long in the deep fryer but regardless it still tasted good, just extra crunchy! We shared a L'arc en ciel roll aka rainbow roll. This one was alright, not the most outstanding taste. The okonomiyaki and salmon nigiri were really tasty. I'd recommend those as you can't go wrong. The service was a bit slow. The restaurant at night looked like it was run by young teens and I stared for a good 5 min watching the young waitress scrolling through her phone. Our table also ran out of water and I again had to wave her down and get her attention. I think if I were to come here again, I would stick with the sushi and nigiri next time. Some of the appetizers are a hit or miss but would be interesting to try the other stuff on their menu. Still, it's a great restaurant for late night eats and decent price if you don't mind the slow service.

I came for dinner, the restaurant boasts a good vibe and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were nice and professional. I had deep fried dumplings, spicy miso soup, Mai Tai drink and Roku Tonique drink. The food was great and a lot, I couldn’t finish it. The drinks were average but ok.

Cute ramen place! Great food and friendly service. My husband loved the spicy miso ramen. The edamame was very flavorful and warm. We tried the matcha ice cream and matcha beer. It was very refreshing. The waiter was so kind to give us a free scoop of matcha ice cream. We waited the storm to calm down a bit to try this place. It was worth it! Would love to come back when the weather gets better!

I hesitated between one and two stars. The food was just ok, and above all the ordering experience was very very disappointing. After placing an order for several items through Uber Eats, the delivery person arrived with another persons order. After several calls, I learned that my order had been given to another Uber driver. This shows a serious lack of rigor on the part of Uber drivers, who do not check the orders they pick up, but also on the part of the restaurant, which does not seem to ensure that the right order is given to the right driver. Uber canceled my order, and I had to reorder it. After almost 2 hours of waiting in total and no apology, I finally received my order, but one item was still missing (the rice). The expected quality level of food, lack of organization and follow-up ruined my experience. I hope the restaurant will take steps to avoid this kind of problem in the future.

Quick service. Sushi menu price is fair. Place feels like in Japan. Got the kalbi with rice and chicken bao buns. The kalbi tasted right, but the bao buns was kind of tough to bite on. Overall, I still recommend going there and just get the kalbi with rice which is enough and cheaper than ramen bowl.

I couldnt find a good Korean restaurant in Quebec, so I went to an izakaya that serves Japanese food. 1. If you miss spicy Korean ramen, I recommend Kimchi ramen. Its basically a ramen-based soup, but its good because it contains a lot of kimchi. 2. Kalbi is also delicious. Since the ribs alone are too salty to eat, just ask for a bowl of rice (about $3). 3. I ordered two pieces of sushi individually, but if you order one, you basically get two pieces of sushi. (So a total of 4). Each one is large and thick, so I think its good value for money. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere feels like a mix between a bar and a restaurant. There are a lot of people who go there without drinking and just eating. Recommended for those who want to eat Japanese food or those who are looking for an alternative to Korean food.

I recently went to Chika Ramen Restaurant and was absolutely delighted with the experience. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted warmly by Jonah, our server, who made our visit even more memorable. Jonah was incredibly attentive and extremely knowledgeable about the menu, which helped us choose the best dishes. The ramen was simply exceptional! The broth was rich and flavorful, the noodles cooked perfectly, and the toppings fresh and generous. Every bite was pure delight. The ambiance of the restaurant is also charming, with authentic decor that transports you straight to Japan. The fast service and attention to detail really made the difference. I highly recommend Chika Ramen to all Japanese food lovers. And if youre lucky enough to have Jonah as your server, youre guaranteed to have an unforgettable time!

I ordered a pork miso ramen and 2 nigiri. Everything was excellent, very good, friendly and efficient service. My meal was excellent and the ramen was tasty and very consistent. My only slight disappointment, the protein was rather large slices of roast pork that were too thick for my taste and not chashu pork which usually melts in your mouth.

Being three people on this order, I called the restaurant to ask for enough wasabi, ginger and soy sauce for the three of us and for 25 pieces but unfortunately we only received a few slices of ginger, a little wasabi and 1 container soy sauce. If we had made 3 separate orders, we would have each had our portion of wasabi, ginger and soy sauce so why not add more from the start. Were still talking about 25 pieces. For me, it makes sense and can fit into customer service. Obviously, its not serious but its boring especially when we really like these accompaniments with our sushi and we dont have any at home. I must add though that the sushi is very beautiful and looks delicious.

Great atmosphere, perfect place to go for dinner with friends. Very fast service, we were served in less than 10 minutes, the prices are rather average when it comes to ramen (fairly standard price), everything that is starters and appetizers is very affordable, we took 3 for one total price of $15, which is very rare in restaurants and moreover in Asian restaurants which usually take advantage of the popularity and rarity of the cuisine to charge $10 for an onigiri. I went there in the middle of the FEQ and despite the crowds of people and the long lines everywhere there was still plenty of room in the restaurant because the poster is not very flashy, so it is a perfect place despite the busy Grande aisle.

Personally my favorite when it comes to Japanese cuisine in Quebec, with the possible exception of Tora-Ya (which always has a good line at the entrance, unlike here) Wide variety of dishes, excellent value for money. It is as possible to come and eat a quality ramen there for $20 per person as to spend hours chaining dishes over a drink.

0 STAR. This restaurant doesnt know how to manage or handle busy hours. Everything is a mess! Please close your system and do not accept orders yet, FIRST, give your best services to the customers who had been waiting in line and customers who had been sitting for 30 minutes or so and still no food!! I feel bad for their servers. All of them were confused and dont know what to say to the customers.

January 22, 2024

We ve reserved online for the dine in. When we went there, the server said they didn t cancel online, and we have to wait there 2 hours to get something to eat. We ve already spent 30$ on Ubers and just want to get something to eat. Very bad service and experience, highly not recommend for this restaurant!!!!!

January 22, 2024

After making an online reservation for dining in, we were disappointed upon arrival when informed by the staff that our reservation was overlooked, resulting in a two-hour wait for a table. This inconvenience, coupled with the unnecessary $30 spent on Uber rides, led to a frustrating experience. I strongly advise against visiting this restaurant due to their poor service and overall disappointing experience.

January 22, 2024

We had a reservation confirmed online, but upon arriving at the restaurant, we faced a letdown. The server informed us that they hadn t updated their online bookings, causing us to wait two hours to be seated. The ordeal cost us $30 in Uber fares, adding to our frustration. Based on this experience of subpar service and significant inconvenience, I cannot recommend this establishment.

DO NOT ORDER THERE Thats 2 times in a row, 6 months apart. Too bad the food is so good. The first time, in August 2022, there was a huge error in the order. We receive 50% less from Uber than we ordered. We call the restaurants and they cant do anything for us. The second time, in December 2022, the Uber is delayed 4x, almost 2 hours late. We call to make sure everything is ok. The receptionist, who was super nice, told us that there was an error in our order, so there was a delay. She tries to get us a free dessert from her manager. Without turning off the sound, we hear him being yelled at by another person behind the phone. Honestly, I am aware of the difficulties restaurateurs are currently experiencing. I am very emphatic towards their situation. But I will never encourage a restaurant that acts with their employees in this way. Many thanks to the hostess who answered us and sorry that you had to endure this from your superior. We will never recommend this restaurant.

The food was very good, the pork in the ramen was a little chewy, which made it hard to eat with just chopsticks but otherwise the flavours were great. The service was great and there was hardly a wait on the food. The menus are hard to read especially with how dark it is in the restaurant.

Its really good, my only regret is not having tried this restaurant instead, I ordered with uber eat. The tonkotsu ramen soup was excellent, same for the kalbi beef, gyoza and sweet buns. The octopus balls were ok. Their strength is the ramen soup, the kalbis were good but tasted as good as the frozen presidents choice ones from the grocery store, not better. The pork in tonkotsu could be more tender and fatty.

Just off Grand alle in QC you see the door for this really neat place for very good ramen. My better half always loves a heat ramen and her seafood ramen was rated by her as one of the best ones. My miso ramen was recommended by the lady and it turned out to be a unique but pleasurable on the palate experience. The broth had an incredible depth to it. The seafoods broth was a bit lighter but so good for seafood.

I ordered tonkotsu, miso spicy ramen, karaage, and rice bowl. The amount of ramen was more than I expected, and they gave me a lot of rice bowl. I was very full and ate it all deliciously (I left some rice). The servers were really friendly and gave us all the plates. In particular, the miso spice was spicy and delicious, and there was a lot of meat in the ramen. The karaage was fried well and the sauce looked like a spicy mayo sauce and was delicious. I was going to have a quick meal and go to the pub, but I was too full. It was so delicious that I couldnt even leave anything and ate it until I was full.

This place is a MUST - do not miss it in old Quebec. We had the pork miso ramen, vegetarian ramen and rice cakes (I forget the original name) and everything was delicious. The service was fantastic and quick, even though they set the expectation the kitchen was a bit backed up and could take a bit longer than usual - it didnt. One of the most satisfying meals weve had in Quebec!!

December 22, 2023

We went on Thursday July 26, 2023 at 6 p.m. and we had a reservation for 6 people and one more person was added to us for my boyfriends 31st birthday party. My mother cant eat corn because she already had diverticulitis and she asked not to put corn in her beef ramen. She starts eating and what does she find at the bottom of her ramen? Corn. She could be extremely ill and go to the hospital if she eats this, the waitress didnt even take it off her bill, she had to convince her to take it off otherwise she wouldnt have done it. She ate 1/4 of her ramen and had it brought back without being offered anything else. Very disappointing and extremely dangerous. Also I ordered a tempura shellfish starter and they arrived wet and not at all crispy. I had to send them back to the kitchen to make them crispier and the waiter had a stupid attitude and without saying sorry, just angry. Yet it s not up to him to ensure that customers are satisfied with their meal? We didnt have a water refill, and my boyfriends friend had to ask for a glass of water after 3 times the waitress came to us without her noticing that a glass of water was missing. No dessert offered or given despite being told it was my boyfriends party... When the time came to pay my best friend had to take out her debit card to notify the waitress after 20 minutes of waiting at n only have water on the table and wait for her to come see us. This was the third time I went there and it was the worst time that the service was not to my liking. The food is excellent, but the service requires a lot of work.

I had the pork broth (tonkosu). Pleasant milky broth with tasty pork chashu and egg, good texture of noodles. nice vegetables. Satisfying and uplifting meal. The 5 stars are relative to the other local places, and do not mean this is michelin star level. I also had the duck-topped ramen which I did not like, felt like cold-cut/preserved meat. Maybe It is just personal preference. But I judged the place by the thing they put first on the menu I ate there 5-10 times and one time i got what seemed to be a piece of mussel shell in my bowl. I let them know and I think it is unlikely to happen. They slightly discounted that meal too. Service is friendly and professional. Usually the food came quickly, even when the place was full. One time they confused my order with someone elses and gave me a free dessert for the extra waiting time. Nice atmosphere with chill japanese music. This is the best ramen I had in Quebec City. Id choose to eat either here (if you want rich pork broth, fatty meat) or at Tora-Ya (complex miso broth, leaner meat) and not at Hon (meh ramen)

This restaurant was truly a unique experience. I enjoyed the food, however the services left a little to be desired - this place will be remembered as a Great Food, Terrible Service restaurant for me. As someone from Asia, eating in an Asian restaurant, I never expected to hear the phrase yellow people from our server when he was just a few tables away. Especially when we were the only guests in the restaurant at that time. Moreover, openly pointing fingers at customers seems a bit too much, dont you think? During my trip to Canada, encountering this kind of service was truly unprecedented. I hope you guys kindly understand that this kind of behavior in front of guests its simply unacceptable, and I expect action to be taken by management to make sure this doesnt happen again. Even the front of house staff seemed embarrassed by the servers comments. Please let me know how you will address this issue. I went there after eating something spicy, but the direct comment about Prangs maple soup is cha ^^ hahaha I never imagined that I would be treated like this at a Japanese restaurant The food is delicious, but the staff needs some training. Its so embarrassing that they even said yellow instead of saying asian ^^ If youre going to joke, you should do it when youre a customer. You kid, just live like that for the rest of your life

Beautiful place, well located!! On the other hand, mediocre service, even non-existent... inedible chashu (too fatty, chashu sliced too thick and tasted almost nothing), tonkotsu ramen broth not very tasty but very salty. It was fortunate that the pineapple mai tai and the starters (karaage and takoyaki) were delicious because overall it was very ordinary. I wont go back!
