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)

I have visited other Ajisen locations many times and the food and service have always been amazing…read more This location was the opposite. It did not feel welcoming at all. We ordered three ramens and a karaage and came for the curry lamb chop ramen special for 19.99. The photo showed a big lamb chop but what I got was tiny. My bowl was the last to arrive and it was wrong. They gave me sliced lamb even though we pointed at the lamb chop photo. They took it back and I sat there waiting while everyone else ate. When the correct ramen finally came the lamb chop was noticeably small and dry. When we brought up the size difference the staff just said that is how it is. No apology and no effort to explain. I also overheard the staff talking about the order and the manager did not sound happy. Whether she was upset at me or her team, the whole vibe was uncomfortable. Very disappointing experience compared to other Ajisen locations.

Solid 4, with some dishes better than others. Family-friendly…read more I usually get the black knight ramen and chicken karaage to share with my daughter. If we go with my husband, we also get a rice dish. The curry katsu rice dish is delicious!! It is Japanese curry that isn't spicy but very flavourful. We tried the yakisoba, not my fave dish of theirs. It was loaded with mayo sauce, but other than being fatty and creamy, it didn't do much for a balanced savoury flavour. I like that Ippon doesn't use MSG for their soup, my little one loves their ramen. They also provide children's bowl and utensils for the kids. Their mochi ice cream is a must get. Service is always friendly. Washroom is large, clean, and comfortable to bring my child to use.

This is the first time I've seen a Ramen restaurant in Pickering!…read more I decided to try this place out on a Thursday afternoon for takeout on a raining & gloomy day. Their online ordering system is great! it's fast & efficient, and the service is quite fast as well. I decided to try the Red Knight Ramen, which was good, but not the best I've ever had. While the broth was delicious, the added ingredients like kimchi kind of messed with the flavour. I also noticed they used egg noodles, which were pretty chewy as well. I appreciated the fact that they had add ons, like egg and other vegetables. But when I selected Seaweed as an option, I was disappointed to see that it was just two sheets of seaweed. I would've loved for it to be wakame seaweed instead. I also added a side order of the Chicken Karage which was delicious and definitely made fresh! Overall, I wasn't a big fan of the ramen dish itself, and I'm unsure if I will be back. If I do, I may consider doing the Build Your Own Ramen option instead.

Points for creativity. [Worth it?] Not too bad cost-wise. Service was attentive and excellent. I wouldn't mind coming back to try more standard ramens.

The restaurant was at a busy location, which was the end of the driveway, everyone sees it before making a turn. The staff was nice when we walked in. We were greeted and directed to a corner table where was better with a baby. We showed them 2 coupons, 1 for ramen and 1 for fried chicken. The staff needed to talk to the owner about them. After a few seconds, she came back and said only 1 coupon per visit. We were a bit disappointed, because we were so hard to dine out with a baby, and not able to come again with a long drive and a baby. We talked to their owner, he was nice to let us try both at the same time. Oh yeah! So we have 1 original ramen with black garlic oil, and 1 tomato base. It won't take long to wait. The fried chicken came first, it was not like the breaded chicken, it fried from original, but after marinated; it has taste, but not salty. The 2 ramen came at the same time. They both really rich, but not so salty, because the salt level could be altered; the noodle size could be chosen as well, we did 1 thick and 1 thin. They both looked similar. Overall, the ramen and the chicken all looked good and tasty. I would like to come again if next time I come around this area, even though they were a bit pricey.

Sansotei is a solid ramen chain and I was particularly impressed with this location's food. I…read moreordered the tomato ramen (which is a first for me). At first the broth wasn't that impressive, but it definitely grew on me as I ate. I loved the flavour on the chashu (none of that bland unflavored pork here) and the shiitake mushrooms were also marinated very well (though they were a bit on the sweet side). Don't be fooled by the photo - there is a lot of noodle in there! They also offer a free kids meal deal for kids under 12 with an order of two bowls of ramen, which is pretty nice if you're eating out as a family.

Midori Ramen is a restaurant I've known about since I came to Canada in 2022, but I never had the…read morechance to try it. Why? Because it's a chain restaurant. After trying Sansotei and Kinton, I thought we didn't need to try another chain ramen restaurant. To be honest, I didn't have any expectations before eating there. I also hadn't checked whether Midori Ramen had good reviews. My wife and I simply didn't know what to eat that day, so we randomly chose Midori Ramen. However, the first sip of the ramen broth really surprised me. It was thick, rich, and strong, with an explosive chicken flavour bursting from that single sip. It was definitely as strong as the ramen I had in Japan. I think it was even stronger than Ikkousha Ramen's chicken broth, or at least equal to it. Also, this Midori location in Richmond Hill has a modern, Tokyo-style interior, which makes it more unique than other ramen restaurants in the GTA. Most of them usually try to create a warm, wooden, and bright atmosphere. Midori's ambiance is modern and cool, but still comfortable. If you want to have ramen but don't know which place to try, don't dismiss Midori. It might surprise you, and it definitely won't disappoint you.

We don't usually eat chicken broth ramen, but the one I ordered was pretty enjoyable, Red Spicy…read moremild has very rich and cream soup base. Two pieces of meat: One is kind of bacon, very fatty, another one is chicken breast, very soft, doesn't taste like chicken, I like the corn in the soup. My husband got tartan noodle, not too spicy, my daughter got carbonara ramen, very interesting creation, very rich and a little bit too salty. Overall, food taste is not our favorite. The interior is nice, but the tables are very close to each other and the seat has no backing, not very comfortable. The service is very minimal, the waiter just took our order, dropped three cups of water and never came back. I don't think we will go back.

Tip: The mall entrance to Kinton Ramen was closed when I was there in March 2026. Instead, I had to…read moreexit the mall and go through its separate restaurant entrance. I'm a tad surprised that this Kinton Ramen got not-so-stellar reviews as of late. In contrast, I had a fabulous experience. My worst experience at any Kinton has been its Richmond Hill location. Staff got my order wrong, fished out bamboo shoot that I clearly stated that I didn't want, and did not care if I may or may not have a food allergy by giving me the same bowl of ramen. I had come to CF Markville Mall to pick up an order at Swarovski. I used mall entrance 1 to get there. I passed by this Kinton Ramen on my way over. I was ready for an early dinner. It was probably 4 pm on a Monday. I drove over here from my workplace in Mississauga. I thought that it would be great to give this eatery a try. The only downside is that you don't have mall access to this eatery. If you're in the mall, you have to to exit it through entrance 1 and then use the separate Kinton Ramen entrance. It's a bit inconvenient. I'd probably be more annoyed if I had a ton of shopping bags full of goods and winds were at 80 km/h for me to exit the mall and get into this eatery. Luckily, it was a nice day and I had a small bag. I entered the eatery and was greeted immediately by a female staffer. I asked for a table and got one with a view of Churchill's Cigar and Gift. It was also fun to people-watch as I ate. I looked at the menu. The burnt shoyu ramen looked good. I lucked out, as this ramen was a part of a Kinton combo. Yes! I got these items as part of my combo: - Sparkling yuzu lemonade - Pork gyoza (4) - Burnt shoyu with thick ramen and corn I got a cup with cold water. It was refreshing and much needed. It was refilled regularly. I am a fan of sparkling drinks. I love yuzu. Put them in a lemonade and I am happy. The sparkling yuzu lemonade was excellent. Yuzu has a more subtle lemony flavour that is so refreshing. It felt fancy having fizzy lemonade. I loved this drink so much. The pork gyoza came out next. I got four of them. They were deep-fried. The pork filling was yummy. I loved my bowl of burnt shoyu ramen. The thick ramen noodles were chewy and perfect. The chashu was delicious and flavourful. I loved the dry seaweed, corn, jammy egg, scallions, bean sprouts, and garlic chips. There was a mild burnt flavour to the pork broth that was nice. I couldn't fit dessert in. I was stuffed. I paid my bill at the table with a credit card. I tapped the machine with my card and was done. I used the washroom before I left. It was fancy, from the sink, to complimentary mouthwash. As I was leaving this eatery, I saw a pickup window for takeout orders. It was cool. I like this Kinton a lot. Staff were friendly and competent. The food and drink were excellent. I'll be back.
