Flavors that hit just right! $27 combo gets you ramen, a small plate, and a drink. So worth it. Get the spicy karaage for the small plate, it came through with a generous serving and was sooo good! Just what I needed on a cold day 🍜

We had a fantastic experience in Afuri Ramen. They had plenty of delicious options in the menu and had a friendly staff. We love the idea of seeing the open kitchen and how fast their service are. We’re looking forward to coming back to try the rest of the menu.

Awesome experience! Food was amazing! I had never tried ramen before and for being my first time I really like it! Flavour was so good! A little bit pricey but worth it! (next time I would like happier music 🤣)

Came in during an off-peak time and ordered the yuzu shio ramen and the yuzu-tsuyu (tsukemen). The vibe of the restaurant was really nice and spacious. The server was really kind and the staff were also very nice! Food wise, the shio ramen came with thin noodles and the tsukemen came with thick noodles. Both had the yuzu smell and taste which was great! The noodles were firm and were perfect for me. Ended up ordering a kaedama which was served really quickly too! The meat just melted in my mouth and the egg was packed with flavour too! The tsukemen was also really tasty. You can order the noodles hot or cold. I would recommend the noodles hot as the sauce isn't heated. Overall, great experience with great food :)

Came here after a kid’s birthday party at the condo next door. Enjoyed our visit! The Yuzu Tsuyu was tasty. Big place and nice atmosphere, although I do wish the dishes were a bit bigger!

Came here to get some food before I saw a movie with my friends. We pretty much got seated right away and our waitress took our order after we had a little time with the menu. The food and drinks came out a little while after and everything tasted amazing. The spicy karaage was my favourite dish and it tasted so good we got a second order of it. Definitely a great spot with quality food!

★★★★

Authentically Japanese, this is not a pretentious ramen shop. The food and service truly reminds me of the time I lived in Japan, there is high level of attention on the very fine details. Yuzu added into the broth is refreshing, and the tsukemen had a sophisticated mixed of flavours in it. Service is great, very attentive staff and friendly. But there is something missing that makes it spectacular, maybe it’s the vibe, maybe because I enjoy pork broth more, maybe just because of its location…

Very nice and friendly staff. The store is clean and nicely decorated. They also have a well-equipped bar. We were a group of 6 ramen lovers who came here to try real ramen. We ordered appetizers, ramen, desserts and drinks. Everything was fresh and delicious and the staff helped us decide best options. I know ramen is their specialty, but also serve delicious desserts.

Update Dec 14, 2024 I came back with the kids and had another great dinner. Highly recommend! While waiting for my kids, I came by this place for a quick dinner and was pleasantly surprised. The food was decent, the edamame was perfectly seasoned. The soup was good but for the price, I wish I could have got another slice of the chashu pork. However, the atmosphere was great, relaxing, not rushing and the service wa excellent. Highly recommend! And Ill definitely come back!

Absolutely loved everything about Afuri Ramen! My friend and I ended up here by chance for lunch because Wingstop was so busy. I went for the Yuzu Shio Ramen, and it was amazing! The broths flavor was unlike any ramen Ive tried before. Initially, the yuzu intimidated me since Im not too fond of citrus flavors, yet I was pleasantly surprised. The broth was light and refreshing but still very savory. The presentation of the ramen was also impeccable, and it came with a good amount of noodles (a big win for a noodle lover like me). What impressed me even more was the lightning-fast service and the clean, cute interior. The efficiency of the staff made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Ill definitely be coming back here!

Unfortunately there was nothing authentic tasting to my Tonkotsu Ramen. Broth was thin with underdeveloped flavour and served warm, but far from hot. Chashu was also barely warmed through so fat was rubbery and bouncy, chewed my way through a clump of undercooked noodles that had stuck together. Beyond that, portion sizes of components was small in comparison to other ramen spots (1 pc chashu, half and egg) with a price point that was noticeably higher. I ll have to try the dumplings to see if those fare better.
