Tips: - The yuzu oat miso ramen is divine and oh-so special…read more Get it! It comes with both pork belly and chicken. Last Saturday, after a trying week and a not-so-pleasant experience at a ramen joint in Vaughan, I craved ramen with better customer service. I decided to carve some time out to drive north to Aurora to find a ramen place that offered comforting food. I did a search. I found Ramen Yutaka. I had bookmarked it. I needed to go. This eatery is located between Plates and Bowls, and Lee Chen in a plaza that I am familiar with. I've been to the former, along with Best Buy and Swiss Chalet in the vicinity. I had no problem finding a parking spot. I backed into an available one and walked into the restaurant. I was immediately greeted by a friendly woman. She said that I could sit anywhere, so I sat at a two-seater table. Another male staffer came over with tapas, sushi, and ramen menus. I wanted ramen, so I focused on that menu. Service is stellar at this place. The female staffer came over to ask if I had any questions. I didn't. She did say that on the ramen menu, the first few items were clear broths. The ones that were further down were creamy ones. I liked that the creamy broths were dairy-free, thanks to oat beverage being used. Nice! This place doesn't distinguish ramen with pork belly versus ramen with chicken. You get both! You get sous-vide chicken and roasted pork belly with the ramen broth of your choice. The ramen varieties are creative and unique. Seeing coffee and yuzu as ramen options piqued my interest. I ordered the following items: - Coke zero - Gyoza - Yuzu oat miso For the yuzu oat miso, I asked that the bamboo shoots be held. The woman asked if I wanted an egg. Without hesitation, I said yes. Both staffers were exceptionally detailed and attentive. She asked whether I wanted ice in my Coke zero. I said yes. I got water to start. It was much needed after spending my day running errands. I also ended my meal with it. My Coke zero had arrived. It was in a glass with ice. So refreshing! My gyoza were ready. They all looked yummy and the plating was pretty. The filling was pork and was delicious. The dumplings were pan-fried and had the perfect crispiness on the bottom. The house-made vinaigrette was so good. If it were ever sold in bottles, I'd get some. My ramen came out next. It looked good. I liked that only a bit of the roasted seaweed was in the broth. It was a nice touch as opposed to getting completely soggy roasted seaweed right off the bat. The yuzu provided a nice, subtle citrusy flair with the miso broth. I liked the oat beverage for a creamy, luxurious broth that was so good. I nearly finished it, but I was so full that I left maybe five spoonfuls of it. It was such an elegant bowl of happiness. It came with a sweet tofu rectangle that was heaven. I also liked the spinach that seemed to be wrapped in a rectangle. Unravelling it was fun! The roasted pork belly was a thick cut. It was flavourful. I throughly enjoyed it. This place specializes in chicken. I got three sous-vide slices that were so tender. If I didn't have any teeth, it wouldn't have been a problem eating them. They were so tender. I want more just thinking about it. The jammy egg was perfect. You get an entire egg. It was so perfect with this entire bowl of ramen. The ramen was on the slightly thick side, which made this bowl exceptionally comforting. They were chewy and so good. I slurped them down and was so happy. The yuzu oat miso is so special. I let the male server know that everything was superb. This ramen was $24. Yes, it's on the higher side of the scale. However, you get a lot of protein and everything is of good quality. I'd happily go back and get it again. I used the washroom before I left. There are two individual stalls. The one that I used was clean and spacious. Both staffers thanked me for coming. I wished them a great day and happily walked out with a belly full of goodness. Stellar customer service. That ramen joint in Vaughan can take notes from this eatery on how to improve in this area. I needed this meal. My week ended on a high note. Yay! If you're in Aurora, you are lucky to have this eatery. It's worth the drive for delicious, high-quality, tasty ramen. (448)

Food 4.5/5 I've been here many times and even tried their takeout. Their rolls with the cucumber and rice paper are definitely worth a try, and their tempura is the best I've had in Newmarket for sure! I recommend the seafood dinner if you LOVE tempura like me, it's totally worth the cost, and it's still crispy if you get takeout :D Service 4/5 The service is good, not great. They're not overly friendly but they're attentive to your table. Atmosphere 3.5/5 Nothing spectacular, lightly decorated.

Food is good and is worthy of the price. I ordered the Chef Bento that included sushi and sashimi. Sashimi was melt in the mouth fresh. Sushi was perfect for picking them up by hand. Other side dishes were standard. The beer selection was average but adequate. What amused me was how hidden this amazing Japanese bistro was, yet it survived the decades and the COVID pandemic. I walked from the parking lot, passed a physiotherapy business to get to an unnoticeable front door of this Japanese bistro. And its interior was like an oasis of calm. Also I find the services polite from the moment I walked through the front door. The owners also let us stayed behind to chat long after the meal.

My friend, Chris, was in Newmarket for an appointment. He was interested in trying Cynthia's Paradise's AYCE menu. He asked if I'd like to have dinner with him last Wednesday. I said yes. I find that our meal outings lately have been AYCE, stuff-yourself-silly ones. I like that we are both comfortable with each other's food comas! I left work at around 2:30 pm and made a leisurely drive up to Newmarket. 1.5 hours to get here wasn't bad. I eventually drove north along Yonge Street, made a right into the plaza, and parked next to Chris's vehicle. There was plenty of parking, but it did get busy by the time we left at around 7:45 pm. Chris made our reservation for 5 pm. It was perfect, as I tend to have an early dinner after work on Wednesdays. We originally got a booth near the front door. The woman staffer who seated us then said that we had the back booth reserved. We moved ourselves and our water that we got right off the bat to the booth. It was a large booth. It came in handy, as the table was large. We got an iPad with two menus to switch between: - Drinks - Food We got these drinks: - Coke - Diet Coke (me) Drinks are not included in the AYCE price per person. Luckily, there are free refills for pop, which we needed to down all the food that we ordered! I ordered a bunch of items first. The menu is extensive, as there are Thai, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese items. Chris followed suit. We had over thirty items. Oops! Here's the damage that we made: Soups - Wonton - Hot and sour Starters - Mango salad - Smoked duck salad - Sous vide truffle egg (1) - Deep-fried cuttlefish ball (2) - Crispy soft-shell crab (1) - Mango shrimp with cream (3) Tempura - Crab meat (2) - Sweet potato (2) Veggies - Honey garlic crispy bean curd - Okinawa mixed vegetables Sushi - Smoked duck and crabmeat (6) - Torched salmon sushi (spicy) (1) - Torched snapper sushi (spicy) (1) - Tempura crab meat roll (6) - Spicy crab meat hand roll (1) - Smoked duck sushi (1) - Crispy banana avocado roll (4) Dim sum (they take 8 - 9 minutes to prepare) - Steamed pork dumpling (2) - Pork dumplings (2) - Shrimp dumpings (2) - Beef dumpling (2) Thai - Yellow curry chicken - Thai spicy fried rice Korean - Korean spicy beef and bun wrap - Grilled beef rib (3) Teriyaki - Beef - Chicken Noodles - Korean glass noodles with beef (japchae) - Japanese-style chicken udon Overall, the food was yummy. Some dishes that you'd think would have sauce, like the yellow curry chicken, didn't have much. It was like there was a drought with all sauces. Sauces with noodles or sauce on top of sushi rolls were perfect. Favourite dishes: - Japchae (tasty with a ton of flavour and stretchy noodles) - Sous vide truffle egg (flavourful with a spice kick that made boring dishes come to life) - Spicy crab meat hand roll (real crab and a generous size) - Crispy soft-shell crab (so crispy and delicious, with real crab) - Crispy banana avocado roll (unique pairing that tasted like a dessert sushi roll and the flavours worked) Dishes that I wouldn't get again: - Anything torched (torching was barely noticeable and the sushi lacked flavour) - Deep-fried cuttlefish balls (a find-the-cuttlefish journey within doughy balls) - Yellow curry chicken (sauce barely coated the chicken and veggies) - Thai spicy fried rice (there was nothing Thai about this dish, as there was no basil or coconut milk, and it was super oily) Food for thought: - I liked the smoked duck options, which was different. The smoked duck tasted like I was having deli meat. If you don't like smoked meat, you may want to steer clear of it. - The wonton soup was the perfect portion with yummy pork wontons. - The dim sum is decent. The soup dumplings could have had more soup in them, but everything was solid. - Get the Korean spicy beef bao wraps with the mango salad. Chris made the suggestion to add the mango to the spicy beef filling. Stellar! - We didn't get soy for our sushi. We ended up using the tempura dipping sauce instead. - This place does noodles well (japchae and udon) - Shrimp dishes tend to contain large shrimp. The downside ordering a bunch of food from the iPad is that it all came to us at once. The cat robot was frequently asking us to pick up the food from it. I wish that the cat robot would face me, but it never did. Because we got all our food at once, we ended up putting everything on our large circular table and taking a photo of everything before we chowed down. This robot sang happy birthday to the booth behind us. It starts in English. It started the Japanese version, but the server stopped it... haha! We came close to finishing everything! I'd return for a food coma again. (258)
