Finding great tonkotsu ramen outside of Japan has become something of an obsession for me. I've…read morebeen disappointed by countless bowls over the years, from Michelin-recommended shops in New York to overhyped social media darlings that make you wonder whether the people promoting them have ever had truly great tonkotsu ramen. Konjiki is good, far from great, but very solid. The broth has the right consistency with a satisfying richness, falling just a touch short of the deep, creamy intensity I personally look for. The noodles were cooked perfectly, maintaining just the right amount of bite. Nothing ruins a bowl of ramen faster than overcooked noodles. The soft-boiled egg was equally well executed, with a perfectly jammy center, and the chashu had excellent flavor and texture. My biggest criticism isn't what's missing....it's what's added. Like many ramen shops outside Japan, Konjiki includes pickled ginger, pickled takana, and braised bamboo shoots. For me, none of them improve the bowl. In fact, I think they distract from what should be the star of the show: the broth. In hindsight, I could have easily asked for them to be left out, but I've never really understood why they're included in the first place. Even so, this is a very respectable bowl of tonkotsu ramen and one I'd happily order again.

Have been here several times since they opened, but first time adding a review…read more Came on Friday late night (around 8:30pm) and got seated right away. Initially looked busy and thought there may be a wait, but the line was actually for the dessert place that shares the same entrance. I usually switch up my order between the Clam Ramens (shio and shoyu). Can definitely say that these are always made consistent (at least on every visit I've had), so there's no surprise. My friend ordered the Avocado Vegetarian Ramen as part of a set. We were both intrigued by the taste of the broth. It was creamy, but not super thick, and had a fresh, vegetal taste. One miss this time was that my friend ordered a drink, but unfortunately it did not come out at all while we ate. We mentioned it when asking for our bill and asked that it just be cancelled, which the server was apologetic about. Interior is kept clean, which some table seating along both walls and also a long high-top bar (communal) in the middle. There's isn't any parking designated to the restaurant, but there's options for paid street parking a short walk away.

Street parking nearby is paid meter since this is Yonge. Only comment about the dishes was that while you get a good variety of toppings, the amount of toppings was minimal (e.g., chashu was very thinly sliced). Still, this place is good enough for return visit.

I've honestly been avoiding ramen because Toronto has still been way too warm for a hot bowl of noodles, so cold ramen packed with seafood and bright, refreshing ceviche flavours immediately got my attention. We also tried the gyudon ramen, karaage, takoyaki and Ramune. Side note, the karaage was v v good, and the gyudon ramen is worth ordering if someone in your group wants something warmer and more comforting. Ambiance: The restaurant had a casual, modern atmosphere that felt comfortable for a relaxed meal. It was lively without being overwhelmingly, and the space felt clean and welcoming. Service: Everyone we interacted with was friendly and attentive. They were helpful when we had questions about the Ramenlicious menu and the kale noodle option, and our food came out at a good pace without us feeling rushed. I think the ceviche ramen is only available until September 6, and i like that they switch it up every 2 weeks for ramenlicious!

We came with our niece, who ended up getting a free meal since they have a promo going on now (free kids meal with purchase of adult entree). She got a basic ramen with 1 karaage and fries.

I wanted to try their special Softshell Crab ramen that was available for a limited time. The broth was made with crab infused tonkotsu.

I always want something crispy to go with my ramen and ordered the chicken karaage which was veey good as well. Made fresh and the pieces were decent. Top it off with a squeeze of lemon and its so good. Crab Ramen was $22 and the Chicken Karaage was $10

I've been coming here for a while…read more Kind of a confusing experience. When I walked in, one server told me I could sit anywhere. I picked a table, sat down, and plac my order. another server came over and asked me to move to a different table. The restaurant was nearly empty at the time (around 5 pm, only a few tables occupied), so the request felt unnecessary and a bit disorganized. If certain tables aren't available, it would be better to let customers know before telling them to sit anywhere. The food was fine, but the service could definitely be more coordinated.

It was very oily and the broth was salty. I was expecting a rich bone/meat flavoured broth but this feels very bland even though there is thick layer of oil on top of it. The noodles were ok. I was a little disappointed at the overall taste of the ramen. It was nothing special. The chau siu was done very well, soft and flavourful. The service was very good, they came to re-fill water without asking. Food came out quickly. I don't regret trying this place but there are better ramen places in Toronto

It's connected right to the mall, making it a convenient place to grab a meal. The restaurant has plenty of seating, but it definitely has more of a fast-paced feel, with people constantly coming and going. I ordered the udon, which came with katsu and tempura. I liked that it offered a good variety, and everything was cooked well. I also tried some of my wife's ramen, and I'd say both dishes were enjoyable, but nothing really stood out. The service was okay. The staff were friendly, but they seemed pretty busy. I had to ask a few times to get my water refilled, so service felt a little slower than I would have liked. The biggest downside for me was the price. It felt more expensive than other ramen shops with similar quality, and I think you're paying a bit of a premium for the Yorkdale location. Overall, it's a convenient spot if you're already at the mall and craving ramen or udon. I'd come back if I was shopping nearby, but it's not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit.

We stopped by this small place and was lucky there were seats available for us to sit as seating is very limited. There were many items on the menu to choose from, from ramen to udon to sushi, but I decided to go with ramen. When drinking the broth, it just hits the spot!

My favourite item to get is the cheese stick katsu, which has a good ratio of cheese and pork. Fried to be perfectly crispy and somehow not too oily, each bite is amazing. The brown sauce and cranberry sauce compliments it perfectly, and I personally enjoy the cranberry sauce as a pallet cleanser. Each katsu comes with a side of rice, corn and salad, which complement the katsu greatly. The Brown Katsu is also very good, extremely crispy and not oily at all. This one comes with 2 bug pieces of katsu and could be easily shared if you're light eaters. The brown sauce and sides (rice, corn, salad), also complement this katsu. I went on a weekday evening and it was still packed, so make sure to go early to get a spot, as they fill up quickly. But the staff were super friendly and served us quickly. I highly recommend this spot, which its big portions and delicious good!

If you eat enough ramen around the world, this is pretty average but priced higher I guess with no competition around. Also you pay the premium for the ambiance. Would be nice if there was an extra slice of pork. Also bad pork donburri and could use a little bit more meat/rice. Chicken karaage was nice and crispy and came out hot. Staff are super nice and do a good job. I'm only giving this 4 stars as it could be better value for the price (I don't mind paying but at least make your portion sizes bigger...it's just noodles and rice). $70 for two pork ramen, one pork donburri, one chicken karaage which covered tax and gratuities.
