Megumi is hearty, filling and very satisfying. Very busy during the lunch service too so it’s a popular local favourite! We enjoyed the Unagi and original with ramen. Wish they gave me udon as I asked but not too fussed about it. Finished the sauce with some rice, as intended.

★★★★

Beautiful food. Got the unagi (eel) - made nicely. This type of ramen doesn't come with a broth. You mix the ramen with the raw egg, garnishes, and the sauce. Busy place during lunch rush. Staff were kind. Relaxed atmosphere. A tad on the noisy side given the lack of sound absorption, but nonetheless lively. Will come again and try the donburi.

Wow, incredible brothless ramen. The spice levels are serious business, so be err on the side of caution if you can't handle spice. We got the meal for two which is a great value if you are hungry. You get gyoza, miso soup, two main courses of mazesoba (your choice of original, pork chasu, karaage, or tempura), hot or cold tea, and kuromitsu kinako ice cream with banana spring rolls. We were absolutely stuffed and could not eat anymore! Definitely a delicious spot and a unique concept of brothless ramen. Highly recommended!

They got bundle deals that comes with gyoza, desserts and drink! I got a level 3 zenbu mazesoba and they were the right amount of spicy and seasonings. The place is clean, quick service, and friendly staffs :)

First time trying this dry style ramen and it was soo good! Flavours are intense and the portions are good size too. I ordered the Original Mazesoba and it was delicious! There is also so much topping/sauce that they offer complimentary rice after you finish your noodles to go with it! Would recommend!!

We got the summer special set for two and it was delicious! It was our first time having mazesoba and we are eager to come back and try their other varieties. We got the pork chashu and tempura with ramen, both of which were delicious. The set also included a piece each of tempura, takoyaki, and gyoza, along with tea and dessert which were all very nice. Service was excellent as well. My only two minor complaints are that the dumpling wrapper of the gyoza felt unusually powdery and their tempura are fried using a different kind of batter that is much thicker and more dense than the typical tempura. The latter might just be my personal preference though.

We had a delightful dining experience at Megumi Mazesoba! Food is amazing! Their culinary offerings were exceptionally delectable, and the ambiance was both cozy and invigorating. Furthermore, the establishment is family-friendly, making it an ideal destination for individuals with children.

Upon entering, I was greeted by cozy music and welcoming staff. The appetizer I got I ordered the Karaage Mazesoba, the sauce was perfectly seasoned, portions were good, noodles were a good chewy consistency. The desert was some ice cream with a banana spring roll with some drizzle and chocolate powder (i dont rmbr whats its called). The sweetness was a good balance and the spring roll was a nice mixture of hot and cold.

Delicious mazesoba! Not very authentic but good nonetheless. Our waitress was really friendly and hospitable (I tipped more than I usually do ) I ordered the ZENBU MAZESOBA ($18): (5/5) [Spice level 4: signature spicy] Pork was SMOKY! Super fragrant, juicy, soft... perfect honestly. The ramen noodles were al dente and had a nice chew. Also loved that they were sooo generous with all the toppings I added a buttload of konbu vinegar, made it better. It wasnt spicy imo lol. If you finish your noodles and hv toppings, they can give a free scoop of rice to mix it in, makes the already big portion even bigger :)

The thought of a brothless ramen made me think of bland noodles. However, the way the mazesoba was put together with a runny egg, vinegar and chili gave me a flavour explosion. We enjoyed their apps and most especially, the takoyaki. The service was prompt and friendly. A must try!

Went on the weekends for lunch. Its like okay? We got salmon mazesoba and donburi. Took a while to come out and the okonomiyaki was slightly burnt. Not sure why it was rated so high though. Not saying its bad, but its been a month and there was nothing memorable about it in a good way.

Had a nice chill night with a couple of friends at Megumi Mazesoba! I had the Pork Katsu Mazemen with lv 5 spicy level. The spice was just right and the Pork Katsu juicy and tender! The rice Kaedama after wards was amazing. Note: Since this is Mazemen, you need to stir it like you would a Bibimbap. Service was great and I had no complaints. Will definitely come back another time with another group of friends and next time try their level 6 spicy sauce.

We first came when my wife was pregnant- since the eggs are fully pasteurized its the only runny egg safe to eat while pregnant. We go all the time and its always super delicious. Our baby eats the white rice and we have the mazesoba... We dropped a toy here and they recognized us a month later and gave us the toy! Super nice. Very relaxing environment. Cant recommend this place enough. Dietary restrictions: Flexible for our fish allergy Kid-friendliness: Lots of high chairs and the calm atmosphere makes it perfect for us to hang as a family.

This is the best food I have ever had in my life. I crave this every day, and wish I could eat it for every meal. I have tried a bunch of their noodle bowls and they are all amazing. I don t go here often enough to try a rice bowl, as I always go with the noodles. I tried the brunch once and it blew my socks off, literally. This place is absolutely worth it for the normal price, but they also have great deals for happy hour and lunchtime. It is very fresh and quick (not sure how quick during busier times). The desserts and gyoza are also very good! The restaurant itself is very cosy and comfortable with multiple seating options and the ability to have larger groups. They also have a small patio out front. It is also wheelchair accessible, and they have two non-gendered bathrooms in the back, with one being more accessible with lots of space and a lower hand towel dispenser. The staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable. They give you a little candy with your bill that is a different flavour each time (in my experience) and it is very delicious. Vegetarian options: There were vegetarian and tofu options, and one of the types of noodles has no egg. Dietary restrictions: You can pay extra for gluten-free noodles. Wheelchair accessibility: It s all on ground floor.

A very nice little spot! Ive been here a few times and the owner is so sweet and delivers great service. The food is great! The mazemen has bold flavour and a good assortment of toppings for different textures. I especially appreciate that the vegetarian options have good flavour as well, since not all places can do a veggie broth so well. Highly recommend the vegetable croquette from the appetizer menu. Its fried fresh and crispy, without being heavy or oily. Eager to return when I am craving Japanese cuisine next!

Update Mar 30, 2025 Came back and had the okinomiyaki this time as I was looking for something lighter. The pancake was crispy and tasty. Would get it again We ve been back a few times already. I normally get the Megumi. Good sized charsui pork. One soft boiled egg cooked perfectly. One onsen egg that turns into a delicious sauce when mixed. I switch between Very Spicy and Insane which should only be for those that can handle their spice! The mazesoba experience includes taking all of the goodness that remains after the noodles and mixing it with rice for a second dining experience! Polished it off as alway, and am a good full even as a fairly big eater. Will definitely be back! If you like flavourful food and noodles then you should try this! Back for dessert! Delicious!

When I look at the reviews here, Im genuinely puzzled by why the rating is so high. There is nothing special about the mazemen here and I found it an overall disappointment. - Sauce had no flavour and the garlic taste was overwhelming - Noodles were very basic - Chashu was diced into tiny cubes so theres barely any - Assorted tempura set was made from frozen ingredients. The gyoza was hard and not crispy. The shrimp tempura was awful: so tiny not fresh! It felt like it was left for a touch too long in the air fryer or oven. Honestly its a travesty that a bowl of noodles is $22 here. I feel like I would be more satisfied eating a packet of Indomie with my own toppings.

From the moment I stepped into Megumi Mazesoba, I was transported to back in Japan. The restaurant, a stones throw away from Yonge and St Clair Ave E, offers a unique take on Japanese cuisine with its specialty in brothless ramen, known as mazemen. The Signature Spicy Mazesoba is a must-try, with its fresh chili adding just the right amount of kick to the flavorful dish. The noodles are tasty and chewy providing a satisfying texture. opted for the thick udon,each bite is a testament to the careful preparation and quality ingredients used. What truly sets Megumi Mazesoba apart is the friendly and welcoming service.The staff are not only attentive ensuring that each guests experience is memorable.

To be honest, I was literally happy and impressed with the service and hospitality. I had karage mazesoda and it was really good , to my spice level. Most importantly, the employee of the place was extremely nice . I was the last customer and after so many days I talked to someone this long with my heart out. If you like ramen with without broth but in creamy consistency, this is the place . I am surprised that I didn t discover this place earlier. 10/10 recommend

One of the best noodle spot in Toronto! Love the atmosphere and staff was super friendly. Love how the onsen tamago adds a creaminess and umami to the noodle. Nice place to chill. Their dessert was also tasty. Overall worth the price and would recommend! Vegetarian options: Have vegan option as well

Megumi Mazesoba offers a superb dining experience with quick service, a clean ambiance, and a surprising variety of coffee options. The Megumi Mazesoba (M1) with its generous meat portions and udon noodles, paired with a delightful signature spicy level, was a delicious and filling choice. My wife preferred the Zenbu Mazesoba M3, which featured less meat and ramen noodles, also with the same spice level. Plus, theres a convenient Green P parking option very close to the restaurant, making it even more accessible. Overall, it was an exceptional experience, and well definitely be returning whenever were in the area. We hope to see more Megumi Mazesoba restaurants open in other parts of the city soon!

Its a small but cute place. I wouldnt have noticed it if I hadnt been intentionally brought here. So Mazesoba means brothless ramen. That was interesting to know. I tried the Chicken Mazesoba with udon noodles. It was different from the traditional light soba I had expected as it was a little bit on the oily side. Overall, the dish had a great flavor profile, and the noodles were easy to chew. Service was great. Be careful if you want to try their house chili - a small portion they served contained a huge level of spiciness. Food (quality, creativity, consistency) - 4/5 Drinks (quality, variety) - NA/5 Ambience (interior design, cleanliness) - 4/5 Service (courtesy, knowledge, timeliness) - 4.5/5 Value (quality vs. price) - 5/5 OVERALL - 4.3

Finally a mazesoba shop in toronto! Great value for good portion. We got the meal for 1 combo which came with an appetizer, mazesoba (we did original) and green tea! The noodles were flavourful - we got the signature spicy and it was quite spicy which we loved. The restaurant also provide complementary rice to eat with the leftover mazesoba sauce.

Checks review: this one got 250+ review, 4.9 star. Conclusion: still underrated. Japanese noodles come in many forms and tastes, the lack of a mazesoba for the enjoyment of a simpler palate in Toronto is confusing. This place solves the issue and more. The internal design is very pleasing to the eye, and the mix of the noodle is very much flavorful, just enough fat and salt to boost the meat flavor. I cannot recommend this place enough. If this restaurant is in the heart of the downtown, people would have to line up for it.

This has been my 2nd home the past couple of months. I really do feel at home. Paula, Andreas and entire crew are so welcoming. I have been there for dinner several times. The brothless ramen - Mazesoba is their specialty. The noodles are firm and toppings blend well together. My favourite is Unagi Mazesoba due to it being delicate, sweet & savoury. Also have had the Steak Donburi Mini-Bowl and steak was cooked to perfection. They are now open for breakfast. Andreas, the barista, is an expert in the craft of espresso beverages especially the cappuccino. They brew Monogram coffee which values a high sourcing model. As for breakfast, tried the Tamagoyaki with Pork Katsu. Tamagoyaki can be difficult to prepare however this is made firm, fluffy, layered and is true to Japanese-style. If you want something less filling, the Sandwich combo is a must-try. I highly recommend.

One of the few places in the city that serves mazesoba (brothless ramen), this would be one of the recommended spots in the area for a unique take on ramen. The mazesoba is generally filled with a mix of toppings depending on the bowl, and you can select your own noodle and spice level along with additional add-on toppings. While the portion size may be a bit small, it is recommended to ask for the additional bowl of rice to help finish any leftover sauce in the ramen. Their Megumi Mazesoba comes with a variety of protein including pork chashu, minced pork and braised pork along with two eggs, making it one of their most popular choices. They offer other mazesoba bowls which include salmon, steak and tempura. They also offer donburi bowls as an alternative, along with a daily special mazesoba based on the popular bowls on their menu. Staff were very helpful in recommending some choices and checking in during the meal. Wait time wasn t too long for the order either. Overall, would recommend as an alternative to many of the traditional ramen places in the city.

This was my first time having mazesoba anywhere and I am adding it to my list of noodle dishes to make at home. I love noodles and for a broth-less ramen experience, it is really tasty. Just reading about the process of adding an egg yolk and mixing it to create a layer of sauce with the minimal sauce already in the dish is a really great concept. It makes me think of carbonara where eggs are just a great binder for a sauce. I was also able to get an extra bowl of rice to finish the rest of my dish. It is a really tasty bowl and I do apologize for not taking a before and after pic of my mayhem but I was so hungry. Sometimes you just have days where you gotta eat first before the camera.

This must be to Japan what chilli and garlic toast is in North America, the perfect cool fall day treat!

My girlfriend and I came here one day as we were out walking and were in the mood to try something new. The owner was very accommodating and exceptionally helpful and nice when we sat down to order for the first time. The atmosphere is fun and welcoming (albeit a little simple). Their food is quite unique for Toronto and provides an experience that will leave you happy and satisfied. We have been back there several times now and the owner recognizes my girlfriend and I, almost before we even walk in the door. The main dishes are interesting. It is unlike Ramen in the sense it does not have an overwhelming amount of broth. The toppings and flavor profile are similar though. Instead, you are left with a very noodle-forward dish, which has a high complexity of flavor and a creamy texture. When you are done your dish, the thoughtfulness of offering rice to be able to eat all those tasty remaining toppings and sauce is awesome. They is a fun vibe to the restaurant as you can either ask for the rice quietly or yell out loud in Japanese to signify you need you rice ASAP. An area of improvement would be the appetizers, I think there is definitely room for improvement, but they are solid supports to the star dish of the restaurant. I have had the pleasure of eating at some of the best restaurants in the world and I would say this was an experience that I thoroughly enjoyed. This is a must-eat restaurant for me in Toronto.

I had never heard of Mazesoba before, so I was hesitant to go inside. Im glad I did, though, as the mostly brothless Ramen was delicious. When you are done the noodles and there is a small amount of broth and topping still left in your bowl, they come and give you a small bowl of rice to mop it all up. Highly recommended.

Today was my first time coming to Megumi Mazesoba, and make no mistake, it won t be my last! From the moment I walked in, I was amazed by the ambiance of the establishment and how it was designed, then I was greeted humbly by Paula as I entered, and Steven from the kitchen then after. I ordered the house special and between the traditional thin noodles with meat and egg and other ingredients, along with the white rice that came with it after to scoop up the rest of the sauce, I have to say that I was incredibly satisfied with my meal. Broth-less Ramen in my modest opinion is really underrated, and this Ramen Establishment along St. Clair East is one I would recommend hold heartedly. Thank you for the wonderful experience, it was worth every dollar. UPDATE: Megumi Mazesoba was so good the last time I was there [the day before] that I had to come back again to order the same signature dish, (only this time with udon noodles). This style of noodle reminds me of the homemade style of pasta, my paternal grandmother used to make, which made the experience all the more worthwhile! Thanks again Paula and Audrey (from the kitchen) for great food, great service, and for once again, welcoming me back into the humbling and modest ambiance of your establishment!!! UPDATE: I returned once more recently when I heard that Megumi Mazesoba had gluten-free noodles, So I knew I had to give those a sample with one of their traditional bowls. Great flavour, very light, and what made me enjoy it more was the guilt free feeling of no gluten at all. Once again, this broth-less Ramen Establishment has impressed me with what they do best. It s clear that this place specializes for all clientele. Here is hoping that they are here to stay in business forever.
