The overall dishes look fine, but tastes super oily, price was too high and portion of rice was too small, albeit it serves hot.

Got off at my stop hungry and saw this place, and decided to check it out. Immediately going through the front door I was greeted, given a pitcher of lemon water and a menu even though I was planning on using the QR code menu as someone who was tired at the time. I got the tonkotsu ramen with extra spicy, and takoyaki. Once I was served the broth was hot, noodles were looking good and the aroma of the ramen just warmed my face. First bite and instantly realized how spicy it was. Keep in mind I'm Mexican and I grew up loving spicy food this certainly had a kick. Then came the takoyaki, and honestly I wish it was a bit more cooked because my chop sticks would just squish it but had a good flavor overall. My total came out to be $25 and in my opinion it's worth every penny.

We were excited to try this spot based on the rating and pictures but unfortunately left underwhelmed. We ordered the fried chicken cutlet ramen and the pork cutlet ramen, and both fell short of expectations. The most puzzling part? There was lettuce and cucumber—a literal salad—in our ramen. It felt out of place and completely threw off the dish. Perhaps we should have gone with the tonkotsu instead… The takoyaki was okay, but again, the flavors were confusing—why was there mustard on it? It didn’t complement the dish well. Overall, there are definitely better ramen spots in the city.

Hole in the wall Ramen joint. Ramen is inexpensive and there are many varieties to choose from. Taste is merely ok, I thought my noodles were very overcooked. Chicken karaage is ok and decently priced.

I visited this ramen shop on a quiet afternoon, on first impression it has a great atmosphere, and ordering is very convenient using the QR code on the table. I ordered the Black Tonkatsu Ramen. The dish is generally tasty, although the soup base could have been more concentrated to better deliver its flavour through the ramen. The pork itself was delicious though! Overall a good experience!

★★★★★

Ramen was delicious and had a great atmosphere. First off though, the ramen, broth, meat and topping flavours are not really Japanese, but more inspired by China (Chinese) influence. This isn’t a criticism, just noting a difference. The shop has a great atmosphere and the server(s) were very friendly. One thing to note, they have FREE plum juice!!! I haven’t had this since I was young!

After realizing it is Chinese run as supposed to Japanese, my expectations went down. However, it did not disappoint. My 2 boys could confirm. Pros: Solid ramen texture, great soup base (had Tonkatsu and Black Tonkatsu), cha Siu was perfectly cooked tender. Very good service, waitress was very nice. It was 6pm, surprised to be the only table. The ramens were legitly great. Can improve: had only 1 tiny sheet of nori, just 2 pieces of cha Siu, eggs could be 2 levels runnier. The room temperature was way too warm, which may be what prevents me or others from coming back, let me know if this ever changes. I wasn't suffering but it wasn't enjoyable. It felt like high 20s when outdoor was 21. Storage is inside the bathroom, which causes hygiene concerns, especially when take-out boxes etc are stacked next to toilet bowl. I feel this place has a lot of potential, especially if temperature gets adjusted, the rest isn't big deal if quality remains. The chinese vibe may drag it down a bit for those looking for genuine Japanese ramen.

I recently tried a bowl of tonkotsu ramen that left a lasting impression. The rich, creamy broth was both savory and deeply satisfying, with a perfect balance of umami. The noodles were expertly cooked, offering a delightful chewiness that complemented the broth beautifully. Toppings like tender chashu pork, crisp scallions, and a soft-boiled egg added layers of flavor and texture. The hint of garlic and sesame oil elevated the dish even further. Overall, it was a comforting and indulgent experience, perfect for a chilly day. I left the bowl empty, eagerly planning my next visit for another taste of this delightful ramen.

We ordered the tonkatsu ramen and the black tonkatsu ramen. The black tonkatsu ramen definitely had a tastier broth. The broth was a bit watery, but it still tasted good. There was also free plum juice. The service was average and the food came in a timely manner. As well, the atmosphere was small and comfortable, with two tvs for entertainment.

We were looking for some comfort food on a Friday night after visiting the AGO and happened to come to this place. Overall, the experience was good. Mind you, we recently spent over a month in Japan, so the memory of the Ramen we tasted there was still on our taste buds. This was a very close second.

Delicious ramen noodles! One of my favourite places on Spadina. Soup base is good and noodles are chewy. The combo set perfectly balances the main with salad and soup. My personal favourite is the charchir set. Their meat is marinated well and very filling! Not many seating inside but interior is nicely decorated. Highly recommend going!

Dont come here expecting authentic Japanese ramen and you will leave satisfied. Located right in Chinatown, I knew it was going to be more of a Chinese fusion ramen. I ordered the fried chicken ramen because it seems like the most popular item and I was very pleasantly surprised. The broth isnt thick like traditional tonkotsu nor was it thin like shoyu - it was more like a hybrid between the two with a light sesame taste. If youve had the sesame shio broth at Isshin, it reminds me of it. However, I dare say I enjoy this one more than Isshin because its so flavourful and theres non-conventional toppings like cabbage and carrot. Bonus points for the free egg when its a $1.50-2 top-up at other places. The fried chicken itself was super crispy and delicious. It wasnt a combination I expected to shine, but it sure did. Another unexpected perk was the self-service free plum juice. It was slightly sweeter than I would have liked, but free is free. I went slightly after lunch hour and there was only one other couple. Despite being right on Spadina st, this place feels more like a hidden gem. It definitely deserves more attention!

We are here for lunch. We ordered chicken ramen, fried chicken rice set and chashu rice bowl. The chicken rice set comes with salad and soup. The fried chicken is yummy, as well as the chicken on top of ramen. Kids love ramen. Just recalled that we ordered a wasabi tako, they didnt serve it, but they did charge us.

I literally found this place randomly and now its my fav ramen spot everr! Ive tried some others like Crafty ramen, Kenzo and Kinton but still came back for this place bruh . Like literally the staff is super friendly and serve us with joy even though i don give tips sometimes the price is mostly the cheapest ive known, like about $15 per person without tips. The chicken karaage is juicy and crispy 10/10. The gyoza ive tried cuz my bf ate all of it but it looks nice and crisp. The ramen? gorgouse, the broth taste like real bone broth and not just sauce package. Would very suggest this place guysss!! I don have pictures rn but will update when i go visit again!!

** SHELLFISH ALLERGIES BEWARE ** The food was very good. Service was very kind but I made it very clear that my partner has a deadly shellfish allergy and I couldnt even eat it and then kiss or touch him. I specifically asked about shellfish in both of our orders. What did they give me in mine? Some kind of crab thing. This is seriously dangerous. When people say they have a shellfish allergy its not about being picky it can be truly deadly. They were very sorry and tried to make up for it but seriously this is so dangerous Dietary restrictions: See my review for our experience with shellfish allergies

We went purposely from North Toronto because it has high rating. We find the foods are really just so so. It is not terrible but does not worth 4.7 for sure. We thought foods are done by Japaneses and quickly realized its run by Chineses. We are not discriminate about race but their noodles are no where near Japanese authentic ramen. Broth is very normal taste and their Dan Dan ramen is a totally Chinese version. Wont go there anymore.

The best part of this ramen was its price. Overall it tasted fine, nothing special, and the seating was quite cramped.

I m really happy with the quality of food and service here at Ramen Station in Toronto, Canada s Chinatown. With so many Asian food offerings in the area, Ramen Station is able to stand out and set itself apart from the rest of the competition. Their takoyaki was very savoury with the flavour of the octopus permeating the entire octopus ball. The chicken curry combo was richly infused with wonderful spices. Their specialty, ramen, exceeded expectations. We got the prawn tempura ramen and that was mouth-wateringly excellent. Ramen Station is a must-try while in Toronto!

Went here after a relaxing massage nearby. Being a ramen loving guy, I have to try their ramen staple. Sure enough, I wasn t disappointed with their ramen. Only thing is that their Tonkatsu ramen broth is a little bit missing in taste as compared to other ramen house I have been but not that bad either. Miso ramen also taste great. Great thing about this ramen house is their price, cheaper than most overrated ramen house I ve been but make no mistake their ramen won t disappoint either even with the lower price range. Place is small but ambiance and decor are nice and pleasing. Although its serving mostly ramen, place has some Chinese fares also. All in all, my experience in this place didn t disappoint my expectations of a good ramen house.

This isnt a real ramen place, its Chinese ramen, with lackluster broth and seasoning. There is virtually no taste to the broth, and the noodles in the black tonkotsu. The cha siew, egg, and noodle texture was mid, and thats about it. The atmosphere is also not even Japanese, its Chinese Honestly the entire experience its just... mid.... its not good its not terrible its just mid. However I would not recommend coming here. If youre looking for real ramen--this place is not it.

Delicious ramen place in Chinatown, Toronto, Ontario Canada. Ambience is cozy with nice decor. Love the golden touch on the bowl, chopsticks and spoon. Staff are very friendly. A1 ramen, calamari and tokoyaki was so satisfying.

This is such a delightful little gem of a place. Loved the interiors of bright orange - done in a kitschy way. Ramen options are great. Good value for money. Great service. It is a small restaurant so you may need to wait for a table during peak times on a Friday / Saturday evening but honestly, well worth it.

This place is a cute lil hidden gem! It has the perfect amount of seating for an enjoyable dining experience! The ramen is super tasty, the taste is pretty authentic and you get a good amount of meat and noodles! Most places give you more broth than anything. Service is also excellent, the girl who served us was super duper friendly and managed pretty much the whole restaurant by herself! Will definitely be back, price is also veery reasonable, try the calamari!

The ramen was watered down, the noodles, beansprout, and egg were overcooked. The edamame was cold when we got it, they reheated it for us, then it was part cold and part warm. The curry was just like cube curry from the grocery store. The karage, the chicken cutlet and the gyoza were all ok. But truly disappointed, especially for how much was spent. We love ramen and brought our visiting family here seeing the great reviews and was truly sad they think this is what ramen is. Plan to try and take them elsewhere before they go for a better experience. The service was not great either, we had to request things multiple times. The server seemed overwhelmed with his workload. Did our best to not over stress him, but there was just to much to overlook.. wont be going again.

This is a great ramen place! Went with a large group of relatives and although seating was limited due to the small space they accommodated us. The ramen was excellent with a really strong taste compared to more mild bowls at other restaurants. Portion sizes were good too! Everyone in my party was satisfied with the food they received. In addition, at the time that we visited there was a promotion where you would receive a free pop for one social media posting with an image. Limit of one person of course but this was a nice touch to build word of mouth for the restaurant. It was fun! Now onto the negatives. First is the limited menu. One of the party members in my group was hoping for a bit more variety. In addition, once we ordered it took awhile for our food to arrive. Not to the point where we felt ignored but not as quick as other competing ramen restaurants. Finally, we were a party of six and we had to specifically ask for additional cups. There were only 5 at our tables and no one noticed that we needed an extra one until asked. Not a major issue, but many other restaurants that I have visited will go the extra mile to ensure that everyone has a cup as soon as possible once seating is completed. Regardless of the minor quibbles, I still enjoyed eating here. Food tasted great, prices are reasonable for what you get and the the social media post for a free can of pop made experience a bit fun. Definitely check this place out and give them a chance. On my list of ramen places to eat when I am near Spadina now.

The food lack freshness the takoyaki definitely wasnt fresh, broth also lack richness or could just be chicken powder. I had a tomato and beef ramen and i just felt like a few slices of tomato and slice beef is not acceptable since slice beef are easily overcooked. Overall the experience was medicore.

Ramen station was a busy little place when we arrived with only one table remaining. Fortunately, one was all we needed. The broth was rich and delicious and flavourful. Served at just the right temperature. Two pieces of melt in your mouth chasau, corn, scallions and perfectly chewy noodles. The only part I wasnt too keen on was the bamboo shoots which is a personal preference. My partner who like bamboo shoots thought they were very good. Price was reasonable and I would definitely go back again to try the spicy tan tan.

A decent place to get ramen and other snacks. The price is reasonable and the portions are great. The ramen broth was alright, not very rich but also not bland. The noodles and chasu were slightly overcooked. The side dishes we got were also a good amount and were tasty. The atmosphere is very nice and the serving bowls/utensils are fun. The decor of the restaurant is unique and I enjoyed the red interior with the various things on the wall. The service is also quick and attentive. Overall a good place to get your ramen and side fix on a budget. While obviously not as good as other ramen places, it still fills a good niche of budget with generous portions. Would recommend to students as its close to UofT as well.

At first, I had doubts about this place because it wasn t completely traditionally Japanese. However, the taste of the ramen really proved me wrong. It is different from traditional Japanese ramen, but it tastes amazing. The broth is very rich and thick. I really liked the plating because it made my dish look very appetizing. However, the noodles are overcooked and there isn t too much broth in the bowl.

Note: my ramen ratings are aligned to Japanese standards, thus rather strict The restaurant is certainly pretty. I had the black garlic tonkotsu ramen. Broth: Very porky (too much for my taste), quite salty Noodles: Very yellow (too much eggs used?) noodles, slightly too soft for my taste. The waitress didnt know what barikata means (like often in the western world). Meat: The best part of this bowl, quite melting, maybe a tad too fat. Egg: Overcooked. Maybe the other bowls are more convincing, Id like to come back and try another one some day.

The ramen actually looks quite good BUT it was absolutely tasteless when I had the first bite. I thought the soup was mixed well so I stir a few times and it tastes the same.... nothing absolutely no taste. I must say it is very experience. I think the chef must forgot to put in salt or soy for the ramen. Beside the ramen noodle was over cooked. With such bad food and the TV showing how ramen is carefully made but it had nothing to do with the store doesnt help much at all either......

December 22, 2022

I went there couple of days ago to give it a first try as it looks so good on the images and to check it out before I bring my friends here. I ordered the Tonkotsu ramen, it looks super pretty and yummy in the first place. Thought it was going to be as good as the review online, I WAS TOTALLY WRONG T-T! The soup was tasteless and very thick/oily, it had this kind of porky/smelly scent to it, which I did not like at all and kind of wanted to throw up if I ate more. Having a good appetite to start with, I tried to eat as much as I could to not waste the food, but didnt even make it to half a bowl, I felt nauseous. Thank god that the side dish/snack was alright, which I filled my stomach up with. The service and environment was nice though. Maybe Ill take the courage to stop by another day to try other types of ramen. But I am never ordering the Tonkotsu ever again. :(

I have some expectations cuz with so many good reviews. The food is just mediocre and it is for sure on the pricey side than I would expected in Chinatown area. I have ordered a regular miso ramen and with tips and tax I paid $18.18. If you are looking for Japanese Ramen this is for sure not the place to go. Their ramen is more like Chinese altered version with red spices. But they did have you whole soft-boiled egg. Btw, they also do not refill the plum juice that were mentioned in other comments. So I did not even get the chance to try. Flavor: 3/5 Price:3/5 Environment: 3/5 Uniqueness: 3/5 Alternative: Kenzo

I have been to this shop many times recently to eat ramen. It is a small shop but the layout is very warm. The atmosphere in the shop is very good. It is very suitable for eating and chatting with friends, or you can come in and listen to music and have a bowl of ramen by yourself. You can tell that the soup base is not blended, but made from real ingredients. It is quite rich. The barbecued pork tastes like it has been roasted, which is quite good. I didnt notice this ramen shop before, maybe because it hasnt been open for a long time. I recommend that anyone who likes ramen give it a try.
