Finally got to try Men-ya Inoichi Ramen at Mississauga. The layout of this place was very nice. Once we got to our table, it felt private and cozy. The service was quick too. We got our food within 5 minutes from ordering. We ordered the Chicken Cutlet Omurice (4/5), Spicy King Akao (4/5), Croquette (3/5). The Chicken Cutlet Omurice was filling. The cutlet's breading was different to the usual ones we've had. The curry sauce as well. It tasted a lot like a home-cooked meal. The Spicy King Akao was a bowl of heartwarming ramen. The noodles were bouncy with a perfect chew to them. It wasn't as spicy as I wanted it to be but they do have chilli sauce on each table. The meat had a nice char to them giving this ramen a hint of smokiness. The Croquette was crispy on the outside and the potato inside was smooth. Overall, the portions were decently filling. They also have Cotti Coffee in the same restaurant which was nice. read more

We'd actually been in Men-ya a while back to sample the coffee, as the front of the restaurant actually holds a separate coffee restaurant. But Men-ya looked good and I can't say no to ramen, so we returned recently to try their offerings. I'm always drawn to anything on the spicy side, so obviously I ordered the Spicy King Akao. It arrived a short time later and the broth was solid (and also fairly spicy). It perhaps didn't have that deep depth of flavor I associate with the best bowls of ramen, but it was quite tasty nonetheless. The various other components were good, with the exception being the three pieces of pork belly. It had this gamey, leftovery flavor that I found really off-putting. I ate one bite and didn't bother with the rest. It was inedible. Other than that, though, I enjoyed the food and the ambiance. The service was great, too. read more

The basil broth was very interesting and flavorful -- something you don't find at most ramen spots. It has a refreshing after taste to pair well with the al dente noodles! The pork broth is rich, comforting, and perfectly balanced. Every bowl tastes fresh and thoughtfully made. The staff is friendly, the portions are great, and the whole experience keeps me coming back. Highly recommend this place to any ramen lover! read more

Not bad for a Chinese owned Japanese ramen place. Clean and spacious. There's also a coffee cotti at the front. Ordered a black sesame ramen. Decent amount of chashu along with a whole egg. Broth was pretty good and the noodles had nice chew. Also tried the curry cutlet. The curry has a familiar flavour. Satisfying. read more

Housed in the previous Fuwa Fuwa spot, this new ramen restaurant is in a prime location at Golden Square, which I have frequented for a long time! I believe it is one of the first locations of this brand from Japan in Ontario and was excited to try! I went for the grand opening special and from that tried two different ramens across visits to get sense of their offerings. For the ramen, I tried the Dark King Kuroo (Black Sesame ramen) which is a pretty unique flavour. It was very smoky and nutty which went very well with the tonkotsu broth. It reminded me of black garlic oil ramen from other restaurants, but with an even deeper taste. I also tried the Green King Mi dori o (Basil ramen). As a lover of pesto and basil, this ramen was a nice lighter flavour which brought out more of the natural tonkotsu taste, with a slight sweetness. Would probably be my go to flavour! The ramens come with branded seaweed and egg which is cool. Egg is pretty standard, slightly jammy, and the veggies like black fungus, bean sprouts, green onions, etc. give some nice texture contrasts. The charsiu/pork belly was okay, it was a bit thicker cut and not as charred or tender as some others I've had. You can also add $1 to choose other proteins like cutlet or karaage, which was also average. You also get some sides of cabbage with sesame sauce and some pickled radish/garlic. Overall the ramen with the sides is very filling, and price is similar to other ramens ($15/16 + customizations). For improvement I would have liked the temperature of the ramen/broth to be hotter as they came out just warm. The green tea served is also room temperature which is a bit weird, and also not that strong. Overall a great new option in the Sauga area, and would probably be back! (for the Cotti maybe, you can also order that your table!) read more

Black sesame ramen was a novel flavour. There was black garlic too but the black sesame flavour was stronger. Spicy red ramen was pretty standard. There was minced pork in both. Both soups (tonkotsu base - you can have chicken too) were good. The brand was burnt onto the egg & seaweed, which was cute. The chashu was tasty, with nice marbling. You get free pickles & salad too, which were pretty good. I tasted truffle on the pickles which was odd. The free green tea was super dilute. read more

I absolutely love the different broths you can choose from! The sesame was such a unique twist to the typical Ramen you see in Toronto. The fried Katsu burger was so juicy and crispy as well. Service was very attractive and friendly. They were refilling our tea nonstop. The store is well lit and looks a lot bigger than in the pictures ! read more

New ramen shop just opened where Fuwa Fuwa used to be. When you first go inside, you'll see Cotti Coffee first, but there are places to sit inside for ramen. The menu is a QR code, and you can also see the drinks menu from Cotti Coffee on another QR code. I got the original ramen, and it came pretty quickly. I thought the branded egg and nori was a cool touch. The pickled radish on the side was particularly tasty and had a bit of spice to it. However, the black fungus/agaric had a weird flavour to it, and the bamboo was harder than what I'm used to. Also it was a bit strange to have room temperature tea, but it really wasn't bad. read more

Not bad but not outstanding. They do have some interesting flavours but wouldn't go out of my way to go again. read more

This restaurant has been on my radar for quite some time, and I didn't realize it had collaborated with a coffee shop (Cotti Coffee) that welcomes guests first. The interior is very simple, with separate sections for the restaurant and a bar area where you can sit if you're dining solo. The menu is quite extensive for a ramen shop, even featuring a burger, which motivated me to visit. The ramen offerings are unique and different from other ramen shops I've visited, incorporating flavors like basil sauce and black sesame -- I've read reviews mentioning a smoky black garlic taste as well. I decided to try the original King Butao, which features a pork broth, along with a Chicken Katsu Burger, and a side of croquette and tako wasabi. Overall, the ramen was pretty good; I was pleasantly surprised by the seasoning of the broth, which had a deep bone flavor. However, it could use a simple tare for added saltiness. I was also surprised to see a cabbage salad and pickled vegetables on the side. The sides I ordered were great, and I would definitely get them again on my next visit. Service was quick, with the staff being very attentive. This place is open at 2 am and I'm curious how the ramen is like as they have a special from 10 PM - 2 AM for $9.99. read more

Went there for the first week of opening. The service was pretty good considering they were really busy and newly opened. The servers were really nice and accommodating with the fact we had went with someone with food restrictions. The food was not bad. I ordered the Dark King and it was savoury but the Original Ramen (not pictured) really made it worth it for the price. The noodles were chewy and not overdone and the broth was savoury and flavour. My group tried the tonkatsu, chicken cutlet and karaage and they were all delicious and crunchy. I personally liked the karaage the best. The atmosphere was warm and clean. Would recommend! read more

I love to try new restaurants, especially Japanese food. Me and my son decided to give a try this new restaurant. We arrived at 8:30pm but the waitress told us it's almost last call even though they are closing at 10pm. We ordered two ramen, two appetizers and one rice dish. The ramen are cold, the soup base was lack of flavor and very oily. This was the first time ever I could not finish the soup of a ramen. The rice dish was a big scam, it's called beef curry omuririce 蛋包飯·it's nothing close to it. The rice should be wrapped by the silky egg, instead they just put a very tiny portion of scrambled egg on top of the steam rice. My son was so excited when he saw 'Omuririce' on the menu, he was so disappointed when the waitress brought the dish at our table. We thought we have ordered the wrong dish.......what a terrible surprise!Please see the picture I attached. Do not waste your money!!!! read more
