We were craving some comforting ramen on a cold night in Quebec city. There isn't much in terms of…read moreramen in QC so we headed to this spot as it had pretty solid reviews. However being from Vancouver where ramen is plentiful and so damn good, this left us feeling pretty underwhelmed. We waited about 40 minutes to get a table - I guess we went on a really busy evening (which oddly enough was a Sunday) and people ahead of us said "it's worth the wait". Unfortunately for us it wasn't. So where did it go wrong for us you ask? While the staff was really kind, it was a bit slow going - I had to ask for my drink order twice for my sister and I. It finally came with my soup. We had a salad to start called the Wafu salad - a Japanese chefs salad with Wafu dressing. While the dressing was the best part, there wasn't much on the deconstructed salad of corn, bell peppers, crunchy noodle, daikon, and lettuce, the salad was also served on a really awkward dish where the contents falls off the edges as you try to grab a bit of everything. Up next were the ramens - I got the Miso - Shallot, bean sprouts, nori, naruto, pork chashu and 1/2 egg and corn - I also got a 1/2 egg added for $1.50. If you're going to serve ramen for nearly $20 - you need to supply a full egg, that's just silly to only give a halfer. The first thing I noticed about the ramen was it was lacking broth - by the time I started getting into it, the noodles had soaked up a lot of it and I was left with mostly noodles - not great. The broth itself was flavourful so if it just had more of it, it'd be a better ramen. The corn was also odd for me and I didn't love that addition. My sister and moms was worse - my sis got the Vegetarian and my mom got the Yasai Miso. The vegetarian had so much stuff on top that again it takes away from the broth (which was also non-existent). My mothers was the same - the vegetables were just a bunch of cabbage lobbed ontop. Unfortunately I can't recommend this spot for ramen - the mediocre food is not worth it or the lineup to get it. The restaurant also looks much cuter in photos online than it was in-person - it lacks character in the decor.

I had just checked into our hotel nearby, and wanted something relatively quick for dinner. My…read morekids specifically asked for something Japanese, so Tora-Ya Ramen look like a good option. We walked over and it wasn't too busy on a Sunday night. It's not a big space - maybe enough to seat 30 people. It's simply decorated, and some specials were written on blackboards on the wall. We basically both the miso and the shoyu ramen, and they were both good. They were a good size, and reasonably priced. Service was friendly and helpful. Why am I giving 3 out of 5 stars? It was a good meal, but nothing memorable about it. It's very similar to other ramen places I've been to, so in a few weeks, I might not remember much about my visit other than it filled me up, and there's nothing wrong with that. It would be dependable place to get a meal.

Où à Québec peut-on trouver de la nourriture japonaise authentique faite par des Japonais, demandez-vous? Allez à EKIDON, c'est merveilleux ! Je suis entré dans une belle boutique qui ressemble à un morceau du Japon. Ils ont de nombreux ingrédients, aliments, collations et boissons japonais ainsi que de la vaisselle et d'autres choses. C'était aussi agréable d'entendre et de parler japonais aussi, maintenant j'ai le mal du pays ! J'ai commandé quatre types d'onigiri (boulettes de riz farcies japonaises) aux saveurs japonaises traditionnelles de thon-mayo, saumon grillé, boeuf shigugreni et yukari (furikake de feuilles de shiso et sauce soja) ainsi que des mitarashi dango (confections japonaises de riz gluant avec une sauce sucrée-salée) et quelques boissons préférées. Tout le monde devrait s'arrêter ici et essayer la nourriture délicieuse - si vous êtes japonais, ce sera un régal supplémentaire ! ***** I have a happy smile on my face, just having eaten some delicious, authentic Japanese katsu curry. Where in Quebec City can one find authentic Japanese food made by Japanese you ask? Go to EKIDON, it is wonderful! I stepped into a beautiful shop that is like a piece of Japan. They have many Japanese ingredients, foods, snacks and drinks as well as dishware and other things. It was also nice to hear and speak Japanese too, now I am homesick! I ordered four types of onigiri (Japanese stuffed rice balls) in traditional Japanese flavors of Tuna-Mayo, Grilled Salmon, Beef Shigugreni and Yukari (furikake de feuilles de shiso et sauce soya) as well as some mitarashi dango (Japanese confections of glutinous rice with a sweet-savory sauce) and some favorite drinks. Everyone should stop here and try the wonderful food - if you are Japanese, it will be an extra special treat!

Plates are meant to be shared and to continuously order so that you're not left waiting too long for another amazing bite. We tried mixing up yakitori with bowls so that we could get a variety. In order of what we enjoyed were the Butabara pork belly skewers (decadent and melt in your mouth) we ordered it twice , Pickled veggies (radish and cucumber) to cut through the fatty bits, Chicken skin skewer (I don't know how it's not slippery oily and how they made it into squares, witchcraft, I swear) Sashimi (yellow tail, butterfish, salmon) the seasonings they paired with each individual piece was so thoughtful. That Butterfish was buttering, yum! Pork dumpling with chili sauce (perfect acidity and spice) I drank it up! Miso and maple creme brulee (love the thick sugar crackling on top) Pork rice bowl with miso soup (reminiscent of Japan's beef bowl with pickled ginger) Quail eggs in dashi sauce (it was good, but there's no seasoning in the eggs) Salmon shrimp croquette (good fried bite) Chicken thigh skewer (moist, but it didn't have a much flavor as the other bites) We thoroughly loved our food from beginning to end. Service was exceptional and kind. We even loved the yuzu lemonade! You can tell the chef thought very carefully about which pairing would be perfect and then elevated it even further. It's like a love letter to Japan. So happy to have ended our Quebec stay at Hono.

You walk through the patio to the space that is the kitchen with a large counter for takeout orders. Because we were planning to eat in (at the patio) we would have table service. Space is very pretty with picnic and patio tables with patio lights hung above. The food is Thai/Cambodian and runs from appetizers to mains to dessert. The patio is licensed so you can order a glass of wine or a beer. Flavours and portions were okay. Dishes can be shareable but are not huge. Patio has heat lamps so you can actually sit well into the late fall. We were told that once the Quebec winter hits the patio is closed and they are only open for takeout but there are a couple of small tables inside to eat in. Service was really good. It was the great casual meal we were looking for.
