What an absolutely amazing spot. Right from the moment you step in, you can feel that this place isn't like the average ramen spot. I loved the vibe of the place, very simple and it had a truly authentic Japanese feel to it, I felt like I was back in the ramen shops in Japan. The staff were super friendly, they explained how to order and answered any questions we had with patience and kindness. The best part, was the ramen of course. The broth was so rich and creamy but it wasn't overwhelming or too heavy. The chicken was nice and moist, not dry at all. I added an egg, of course, and it was surprisingly flavourful too. Honestly the only think I don't like about this place is the fact that it's so far away from where I live...but I'd make the trip to come here, totally worth it.
I came here for a quick lunch and it was fabulously delicious! I had their gyoza, which is much more delicate and fragile than other gyoza I've had. The tops were largely not sealed, so they were a bit soft. These were not my favourite, but still quite tasty. And because they were so small, it was the perfect amount for me! Their signature tonkotsu ramen was delicious. I ordered it Japanese "taste" level of salt, and with the spicy pickles (taraka) that I added to it, it was almost too salty. But fabulously delicious. If I were to add the spicy pickles next time, I would order the less salty broth. The bowl of ramen as-is probably will be a good size for a smaller appetite. If you have a normal appetite, you can safely order a side dish OR extra toppings and not worry about it being too much. If you have a larger appetite, definitely add extras to your ramen and feel free to order a side dish! The service was fast and very efficient, and the place was very clean and comfortable for solo diners. Definitely will be back!
Was on my list of places to visit while in Toronto and was looking forward to their signature tonkotsu ramen. I went with normal on the noodles and saltiness, no extra toppings and got 3 piece fried chicken. Fried chicken - it came with dried seasoning, would been nice to get mayo on the side as well. The chicken was juicy and moist. Tonkotsu - disappointed, the broth was bland... tried adding other condiments on the table but that didn't really help to enhance the flavor. I guess my palate has a higher standard thanks to many visits to Japan. Interior was your standard ramen shop. Friendly staff members, the service was quick and fast, food came out relatively quickly. For now 2 out of 5 for their tonkotsu ramen.
Ikkousha located along Queen St. W. near St. Patrick St. is a Japanese ramen shop from Hakata, the Southern part of Japan known for being the birthplace of tonkotsu ramen. I've only tried their other ramen shop 2 stores down, where chicken is the focus. This location of Ikkousha only specializes in pork tonkotsu ramen. They also have another location in Toronto near Yonge and Dundas. With worldwide locations, this ramen shop is super popular in Toronto, so much so that I was only able to try it for the first time recently. The menu has about 8 different kinds of tonkotsu ramen from their signature to shio, black garlic, or their spicy broth. There are lots of toppings you are able to add on as well as your classic side dishes like gyoza, karaage, takoyaki or rice. On the table, you are able to customize the flavour of your ramen with takana, minced garlic, ginger, ramen sauce, sesame seeds, and pepper. I stopped by Ikkousha for lunch on a Monday around 12:30pm. As a solo diner I sat by one of the seats facing the wall to the right. It does get chilly there though since the door is located around that area. Sitting down, the ordering sheet is already pre-set in front of you where you choose what ramen and side dishes you want along with what noodle texture you prefer and how salty you want your broth. I decided to get: - Signature tonkotsu ($16 - has noodles, cha-shu, black fungus, and spring onions) where I added a flavoured egg ($3) - Gyoza ($6.5 - for five pieces) Food arrived at a reasonable time. Staff were friendly and efficient. Food wise, I've actually travelled to Fukuoka, Japan before where I lined up for numerous bowls of ramen there, including the spot where it is claimed to be the birthplace of tonkotsu ramen. Let me tell you that when I had my first sip of Ikkousha broth here...it brought me right back to Fukuoka. There was a moment while I was eating lunch where I felt like I was back in Japan. The pork bone broth was creamy and rich and had that delicious depth of flavour. Happily slurping my noodles, they were cooked to my liking and the spring onions added extra flavour to the dish. Like in Fukuoka, I added several condiments to my ramen to make it more tasty and to my liking. It was a delicious bowl of ramen that I can't wait to eat again. The gyoza was great as well, the wrapper was thinner than I expected but the filling of the dumpling was tasty. Overall, if you're looking for delicious tonkotsu ramen, this is the place. Just like in Fukuoka, Japan, the flavours here are spot on. Service is efficient and it's easy to have a quick meal here if you are short on time. I definitely will be back when I'm craving tonkotsu ramen!
If you're on the hunt for really solid tonkotsu in Toronto, Ikkousha is one of my favorites so far. The interior is very coazy with lively greetings from the staff, atmosphere alone already sets you up for a good meal. I am a big fan of the broth. It's rich, savory, and deeply porky, but it never tips into being too heavy. The portions are generous, and the chashu slices are tender, flavorful, and just fatty enough. I also love the customization options. You can choose your noodle firmness, saltiness, spice level, and add extras like an egg or more meat. And don't skip the condiments! The pickled ginger, mustard greens, and their extra ramen sauce really help brighten the bowl and add complexity. I especially loved the ginger, it cuts through the richness and keeps each bite interesting.
The food was pretty good and the service was very nice! This won't be a super detailed review because, well....it's ramen. But if you like ramen, this is the place to go! Only good for small parties, perhaps table for one or two. Amazing for solo dining, actually!
The portions were huge!! Ramen was so rich and flavor. Service was quick and easy. I wish they gave more broth since the broth to ramen ratio was a bit off
Absolutely delicious, high-quality ramen with rich, comforting flavors. The staff were friendly and attentive, and service was impressively fast. Everything arrived hot and fresh--exactly how ramen should be.
One of the better ramen in the city, not my personal favourite but I can see this being someone's. Definitely worth checking out
I've been to IKkousha several years ago but I was left with a very faint memory of their food. I decided to try it again and I found it okay. I ordered a small ramen (it was truly very small and served with a single thin slice of pork). I added a marinated egg and the total came to $20 pre tip. Our wait was very long which was understandable as it was a very small space with tightly arranged tables. The employees were very kind and kept a smile on their faces despite the dinner rush.
Came back after 3 years! Got the God Fire 3/4 and it was pretty consistent to the last time I had it. The broth was quite thick and flavourful and I upgraded to premium toppings for the extra substance. Fast and kind service!
Great ramen spot! I got the gyoza and i normally like mine crispy all around but these were honestly the highlight of my meal. They were perfectly thin and crispy on the bottom and then soft throughout. Everything came out super fast and my server walked me through the whole ordering process. They also didn't judge me for getting noodles and broth only which is a plus! :)
Great authentic ramen shop with tasty broth and noodles. I like that you can customize your ramen from the saltiness and noodle texture, and also with some side condiments. That said, I do think it's somewhat overpriced for the portion (no egg, thin slice of meat). I also found the god fire ramen to be a bit inconsistent because I got the same spicy ramen twice in two weeks and the second time was much spicier than the first time. The space is clean but a bit cramped. Great service.

Delicious ramen with fast service. The restaurant isn't large and has seating for about 30. But the service is fast so even if it is full you won't be waiting long. They have a few different ramen options but you can't go wrong with any of them. The broth is rich and the noodles are perfect. Definitely recommend if you're looking for ramen in Toronto! read more

Successful takeout ramen here! On ubereats, you can opt to have the noodles uncooked or cooked. Uncooked was recommended so that's what we went with. Upon arrival, the soup was HOT & the noodles came uncooked with a little sheet of instructions telling you how long you should boil the noodles for for various chewiness levels. God of Fire ramen: we got Level 2, and it had a decent spice to it! Pleasantly surprised. It's a very rich broth so if you're into that you'll love it here. The chicken slices were soooo tender! This truly was a pretty solid bowl of ramen for takeout. My only gripe is that for the price, the portion is pretty small. Gyoza: lil chicken dumplings that come with a yuzu soy sauce. Good lil dumps - nothing too special but the sauce is really fitting! read more

Another ramen place down. I'm determined to try all the ramen places in the city! We ordered Ikkousha off of UberEats. First impression upon receiving our order - they were meticulous with the packaging! Each of our orders had our names on it with little piggies drawn on the lids. One thing that other ramen places don't pay that much attention to is the nori. This nori was packaged in cling wrap so it wouldn't get soggy! I enjoyed the broth here. Well developed flavours. I tend to not finish the broth but I found myself trying my darndest to lol. The only thing I want to be critical of is the cha shu slices. I would prefer if they were the thick cut ones but they actually did taste grilled which gave it that extra dimension. read more

Undoubtedly one of the best ramen places. We used to frequent in post pandemic however this was our first time in the new normal. Since then, They now have an online menu which describes each soup base and it's flavour and spice levels and a separate restaurant for everything chicken. They also have an option for a veggie broth. The god fire is spicy and has several levels you can choose from, we went for two and was comfortable for our spice levels. The miso is great as well. The portion sizes are huge and you will certainly take some back to eat later. There may be some waiting as it is not a huge place but otherwise the staff is extremely friendly and the service is quick. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and will be back soon for more. It came to $50 for two people with tips and taxes. read more

We stopped by this place for lunch, and it was just okay to me. On the same street, they have two shops: one for chicken and one for pork. It is a little confusing which one is which, but they do say on the door and very clearly inside. I prefer pork (Tonkotsu), so we went with this place instead. The Tonkotsu location was a lot more crowded than the chicken location. The servers were really kind and we were seated right away. I went with the Tonkotsu Ramen and added bamboo shoots. We also got a bowl of the black Tonkotsu Ramen. I personally thought that the normal Tonkotsu Ramen was a better, the Black Tonkotsu was a little too salty for me. My partner disagreed and preferred the Black Tonkotsu. For me, the normal Tonkotsu was exactly as expected: creamy, flavorful, and a lot of noodles. There were two pieces of pork, which I think is pretty standard. The Black Tonkotsu was a little too much for me; it was a tad too salty. It was definitely packed with a lot of flavors, and had the same creaminess as the normal Tonkotsu. I really enjoy drinking the soup alone, and the Black Tonkotsu was a little too salty for that for me. Overall, I felt like this place gave everything that was expected, and nothing more. One thing I thought was special was they offered a selection of additional "toppings". I asked for all of them (garlic, ginger, and takana), and I felt like all of them were a good addition to the dish, especially the takana. It was perfectly pickled and the flavors really helped with the saltiness of the dish. Overall, I felt like this place was on par with a lot of other ramen places, and nothing special. I would recommend this place to a friend though! read more

Favourite item: spicy miso tonkotsu - I liked this one better purely because of the thick noodles it comes with! I'm not sure if you can just request to switch the noodles, but this is just a personal preference. Overall, both the ramen bowls I tried were flavourful and delicious. If you want a slight kick, go with the spicy! read more

Ikkousha was the last of the ramen shops that I visited along the Queen St W stretch. It opened in March 2019 and has since even expanded with a storefront specializing in chicken toripaitan ramen nearby. The shop hails from Fukuoka where the tonkotsu pork ramen originated in Hakata prefecture. 'Ichi, ko, sha' literally means one happy place. But be prepared for long lines due to its popularity and renown among 70 locations worldwide. I ordered the God Fire Ramen, which is comprised of their famed tonkotsu broth with a spice blend, wood ear mushroom and thin flat noodles. Pick a spice level up to lvl 4 for ones own heat threshold. The broth simmered for 12 hr is creamy, yet still has the clean pork essence. The thin braised pork shoulder slice is meaty and tender. And underneath the fiery red soup, firm noodles picked up the rich flavours. I made sure to get extra: kaedama onigashimasu! Menu pricing is slightly more than nearby ramen shops but I felt their bowl was well-executed. It's even better to customize with traditional condiments including raw garlic, hot pepper paste or grinded sesame seeds. I now get why Ikkousha is one of the hottest spots for a hearty bowl of tonkotsu ramen. read more

This is my FAVOURITE ramen broth in Toronto so far. Emphasis on BROTH as it is not my favourite noodle, chasiu or place overall. The broth is very rich and I love the God Fire spices... I actually order God Fire every time I come, which is 3 times now. Why I only give it a 3/5 is because it is pricey relative to other ramen shops. It doesnt come with a lot of toppings and protein. The chasiu is thinly sliced and the bowl does NOT come with an egg. This is an add on. I was very disappointed with my takeout order. On the positive, it arrived extremely quickly and came with an extra container of spices!! However, the 5 extra slices of chasiu I got was undercooked. It was very pink with some red blood spots. The delivery order did not come with any instructions such as if it should be microwaved. The chasiu tasted raw so I microwaved it which made it taste more palatable. I left the extra chasiu in the fridge. I did not touch or contaminate it. However, the next day when I microwaved it, it tasted extremely rancid and old. I think it was because the meat was raw or not prepared properly, or the pork cooked was not fresh. Overall, I would continue to eat here but only dine in on special occasions. read more
Perfect dinner for a chilly Sunday night!!! Loved it. Small place on queen west. Staff were friendly and the service was nice. We were seated at the bar, side table. It was fine. Just gobbled up our meal and left. Perfect. It was pretty busy but people came and went. definitely will go again. Good portion size. read more

I came here with a group of people on a Saturday night. They were able to seat us all immediately. Unfortunately, we learned the hard way that there are two restaurants with the same name as the one we went to served only chicken ramen. Thankfully, the correct location was only a few stores down. The tonkotsu location seemed to be more popular so there was a little wait but well worth. Service was decent and they were quick and efficient with handing out the food. Felt very Japanese inside with the vibe like many fast casual places in Japan. I ordered level one God's Fire ramen and ohhh boy. That already had a decent kick but the warmth was great. The broth was rich and thick and the thin but tender pieces of cha siu melted in my mouth. I opted for the premium toppings which included extra meat, seaweed and an egg. The egg was perfectly jammy and tasted delicious! Such a great find in Toronto. read more

Dear Mable,…
THE BEST ramen in Toronto with no doubt. It really doesn't matter how many new ramen stores open up one by one I always think ikkousha holds the highest title in this city. The soul of the ramen shows in its broth, and their Thick and creamy soup makes any bad day 100 times better. They are also very generous in giving pork slices in the soup, but keep in mind, egg costs extra, please try the PREMIUM TOPPING, it's insanely good value! You will see pork belly slices covering your entire bowl, I start drooling literally thinking about it. They also make their pickled veggies in house, it's SO DELICIOUS. I can finish one jar of them in one seating. Another must try is their gyoza. Yes it's 5 dollars for 5 of them and they r tiny, but they r sooooo good!!! I get them every time I go. Dipping in the yuzu spice paste and a little gyoza sauce, thank me later. read more

Dear Shuang W…
Came on a weeknight, a bit of snow, so maybe less busy than usual. You write down your own orders as each person is handed a small slip with the different options (e.g. saltiness level, ramen hardness) and items to be checked off. I ordered the Black Tonkotsu Ramen, with premium toppings, full saltiness and slightly hard noodles, and an order of the gyoza. The Soup base is amazing, probably my new favourite in all of GTA. It's a little thick, and very rich, but not too overwhelming. The cha-shu was quite tasty as well. The noodles themselves were also good, but I usually prefer slightly thicker ones. What's also cool about Ikkousha is at the table, there are a variety of additional seasonings you can add, including spicy pickled greens, and minced garlic. The gyoza are a little on the small side, but good taste, and come with a spicy yuzu paste. Friendly service. Would definitely recommend. Coming back for sure. read more

What can I say other than, the best place for Ramen this city has to offer so far! I've been to Hakata Ikkousha Ramen 3 or 4 times now and everytime has been perfect. From the decor, to the service, to the food, all is top notch! It is a smaller ramen shop as most are but large enough to hold bigger groups. I've gone with up to 7 people and they were able to accommodate us. There's also seating against the wall in which single diners can enjoy the ramen without the awkwardness of sitting at a bigger table on your own. The shop is clean and brightly lit with decor describing the company and its origins. sometimes it can be a little tight at lunch or dinner time as all the seats get filled quickly. No lie, this place is packed everytime I go, and sometimes a line outside. But don't let that fool you as the service is quick and accurate so the turnaround is quite quick. Now for the food... you can not go wrong with any of their options at Hakata Ramen. They specialize in tonkatsu ramen which is clean, flavourful and not too heavy with all the great pork flavour. You can choose from their signature, shio, black and god fire broths. Everything can be customized - the hardness of the noodles, the saltiness of the broth or the spiciness of the God fire, and all kinds of extra toppings paid or free. When I'm hungry I opt for the premium topping add on which includes a flavoured egg (my favourite!), 3 extra slices of chashu and 3 pieces of dried seaweed. Otherwise the noodles come with black fungas, green onion and one slice of thin sliced chashu. I like to throw on the free freshly chopped garlic and freshly ground sesame seeds. Their signature thin noodles are a great combination with the broth as they pick up all the flavour so well. I also absolutely love love love their gyoza and always make a point to order some of those. When I'm with a group, we'll order the karaage (fried chicken) which is always flavourful and moist. Overall, everything is great and I always look forward to visiting for a delicious bowl of ramen. Do note that the prices are a little more than other good ramen places but I think it's totally worth it. read more

If you love rich heavy broth, you would love Ikkousha Ramen! I tried the Original. Black, God Fire (L3&L4). God Fire is spicy and the staff would warn you about that. I also enjoyed their bite size gyoza 一口餃子! Just like how it was served in Hakata! Staff is super friendly and cheerful. And they have Yelp wait list! So easy to put myself on wait list when I love myself some ramen! read more
I was searching for a place in the area for lunch on Yelp and came across this Ramen restaurant. The reviews were very positive, and we decided to try this place. We arrived at about 12:15 PM on a Sunday and the restaurant was completely full. We were put on a wait list (we were second on the list) and was told that it would be about 15 minutes before we could be seated. However, after about 5 minutes, a table was ready and the person in front of us on the list was a no show, so we were able to get that table. Once seated we were given an order sheet where we indicated what type of Ramen, the texture, saltiness, extra toppings and additional sides. We ordered the following: Signature Tonkotsu Ramen Black Tonkotsu Ramen Side of Homemade Gyoza Sunrise Breeze (non-alcoholic drink) While waiting for our order, we noticed a sign that said students with a student card can get a free side of gyoza with a Ramen Noodle order. We did not know this when we ordered, so we asked our waitress if we have that applied to our bill. She said yes, so we received a free side of gyoza. The Ramen was very well prepared and presented. The broth was rich and creamy, but at the same time lighter than other ramen pork broths. On the table, they have selection condiments that you can add to your ramen to further add to the taste such as spicy takana (pickled mustard), ginger, garlic and something labeled "Ramen Sauce". Each of the condiments made the ramen dish more unique. They gyoza was also very good, pan fried with a light skin. The gyoza sauce was also provided in a jar with a pour spout. We were seated promptly, had the price of the gyoza side removed from our bill and received very good service though out the meal. The ramen was excellent and the condiments that were on the table added something extra that we used to further customize our ramen dishes. Overall, I really enjoyed the meal and I plan on returning. read more

Wow hands down the best Ramen restaurant we have been to so far when it comes to taste. The food was extremely satisfying and service was good. Very friendly and polite staff. The seating set up could be a bit more spacious but given the space in a downtown restaurant they tried to put as much tables as possible. Not a big deal rubbing elbows for a meal like that. Definitely going back for the takoyaki (octopus balls). If you like spicy try the God fire spicy. read more

Came here with 5 other people and they were very accommodating of our large group. I ordered signature tonkotsu ramen with hard noodle, regular broth and I added an egg. The star of this dish was the creamy, rich broth. I drank quite a bit of it and didn't feel thirsty afterwards which suggest there is minimal MSG! The noodle was cooked exactly how I wanted - chewy! The egg was a bit disappointing as the yolk was no longer runny. But it is probably my fault for leaving it in the broth for a while before biting into it. I would totally come again if I'm craving ramen! read more
I've had ikkousha before and enjoy their Godfire tonkotsu and chewy ramen noodles. However this time I wanted to try their new gyokai and spicy miso tonkotsu. The gyokai was very flavourful as it is a mix of fish, pork and chicken broth, however it was slightly too salty for my taste. The spicy miso was good but didn't have as much depth in its flavour as I'm used to with other spicy miso ramens I've tried. I think the God fire tonkotsu still remains my favourite. Service was great as always. Asked for extra garlic and they have us a giant mound :D read more

Dear Sonia , Welcome to Ikkousha Ramen Toronto and thank you very…
My favourite ramen place in the city. 5/5. I always get the optional topping package, god fire level two, with underdone noodles. Soo good! Their egg is the most consistent, noodles are my absolute fav so chewy, and broth is deeply flavourful. God fire level three is great for when I'm feeling up for a spice challenge. read more

They have two locations next to each other, one specializes in Chicken Ramens only and the other has more options. We went to the one with Chicken Ramen. The ramens were alright. I was expecting them to be much better though. Not sure if that's because we picked the wrong dishes though. I got the God Fire Chicken Ramen and my friend got the classic cold ramen. The God Fire Chicken Ramen was overwhelmingly spicy. I can usually tolerate very high level of spice, so it wasn't a tolerance issue. It's just that the spice sort of overwhelmed the rest of the flavors of the dish. Also, you have to add the egg as an add-on for $2 which seemed unnecessary. The cold ramen was interesting. I have never had it before but if you are out on a hot summer day, you should give it a go! That was definitely more flavorful than my one. I would give 10/10 for the ambience though. It's a really nice sit-in restaurant with a nice interior. The servers were really nice and you get a traditional Japanese vibe when you are inside. read more

Finally got around to submit a rating after a second visit to Ikkousha. I was fortunate not to wait long, considering both times were between 4-5pm. Each seat has its own order sheet for noodle preference, toppings and salt level, along with other items to add on to your ramen meal. First visit: ordered the God Fire (level 1) and it was just a perfect amount of spice. I took a sip of the level 2 broth and I did notice a huge difference in spice tolerance. Take this comparison as you will when deciding between level 1 and 2. I enjoyed this bowl. Second visit: wanted to do something different so I ordered the black tonkatsu. Normally I would be expecting a very garlic taste but it was weak so I added additional garlic from the table top. Added additional chilli oil and chilli powder as well for a kick. The broth was more on the creamier side which felt heavy. I would go back to God Fire or try a different ramen bowl. Gyozas are a must order. read more

Was recommended to give this place a try. Love how the ordering process is similar to ichiran ramen which brings back memories of japan. I can see why this place is great as the broth is full of flavour along with layers on layers of taste. Opted for the 2 spicy level and it definitely leaves a kick in the back of the throat. Personally didn't like that there weren't any other noodle options but that's just personal preference. Noodles were extremely thin but cooked to the selected stiffness. Overall great place. Note - showing them that you follow them on Instagram gets you a free topping! read more
