Midori Ramen is a restaurant I've known about since I came to Canada in 2022, but I never had the chance 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. read more

We don't usually eat chicken broth ramen, but the one I ordered was pretty enjoyable, Red Spicy mild 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. read more

This is my go-to lunch spot when I meet with friends around Hillcrest. Lots of parking, very spacious location. Cute interior with lots of wood/beige notes. Service is attentive, and food comes out fairly quickly. Their signature tori paitan is my usual pick, as it has everything I love in a ramen -- jammy egg and charsiu, paired with a good broth and noodles. While the pork charsiu is good, the chicken is even better. Usually not a fan of chicken breast, but here, it's so moist and tender and flavourful! Their black fungus topping also has good texture. The tori don and buta don are also good for a quick light and cheap meal. It's be better if they loaded up on a bit more sauce though. I wish more of their menu came with jammy egg as the default... too many options that come with no egg. read more

January 24, 2026 - I got the spicy tan tan ramen with thin ramen. It came with some ground beef and some Bok Choy. Overall really good. The broth was a hint spicy and creamy. The noodles were soft and chewy. It worked really well to satisfy my craving on a cold winter day. read more

My friend has highly recommended this Japanese ramen place for a while. They are famous for their chicken broth ramens. I personally like it more than the traditional pork broth ramen. We didn't have to wait for the seat but had to wait for a while to order given they were understaffed. We ordered the meal for two for $45.99. Each meal included original ramen for free or signature ramen with more toppings for $2 extra, a soft drink and an appetizer dish (Gyoza or fried chicken). We got both original and signature ramen, and fried chicken for appetizers. The broth was really flavourful, and I personally think it goes better with thin ramen than thick ramen. The fried chicken was also cooked perfectly. We also ordered some takoyaki which was surprisingly with more chopped octopus inside comparing to other restaurants. Overall, the food was 5-star, but service was average with the staffing situation. I would love to revisit this restaurant occasionally. read more

Came here on a weekday with friends and even though it was mid-week, it was still decently busy. Staff here are friendly and attentive. The overall space is quite small so be sure to avoid busy dinner hours so that you can get a seat. We ordered the signature tori paitan, red spicy, and the tori paitan shoyu. For appetizers, we ordered the karage chicken and the aigamo tataki. While the karage chicken was good, it only came in three pieces. One piece for each of us at the table, that was quite disappointing and expensive for the price point. The duck was ok, nothing special but came with a nice yuzu sauce. The ramen was cooked nicely. The bowls all came with once slice of chasu and chicken, so not very much meat. All the soup bases tasted pretty similar but was nice and creamy. The ramen was a little lacklustre for us so would probably not return for another visit. read more

MIDORI RAMEN . . Midori offers a variety of ramen options with thick, thin or kale noodles. They use a chicken base broth that has a delicate and milky consistency. . . Tori Buta Ramen 4.5/5 Duck Shoyu Ramen 4.3/5 . . Tori Buta Ramen is now permanently back on the menu! It's loaded with pork chashu and comes with an egg. Because there is so much chashu it does make the broth very oily and heavy, to the point that it might be too much for some. The Duck Shoyu was equally enjoyable. I loved the green onions and diced onions that it came with. It gives the broth an extra kick. The duck was cooked beautifully and is a great alternative if you're not feeling pork. The broth was also very oily and heavy with this one so keep that in mind. read more

We always come to Midori for ramen. Tonight i decided that i will NEVER come back to this location. Our server was extremely rude and gave us attitude. He asked for my fiancé's ID because he ordered a sapporo, and when he checked the ID he THREW it back at him. We ordered 1 gyoza, it did not come at all. I would understand if the establishment was busy and he had forgotten but, we came in at 9:10pm for a quick dinner and there was NO ONE in the restaurant but us. Im beyond disappointed by the way we were treated and that we never got our appetizer that we ordered. Our server did not even come to check on us at all.. We didnt even want to finish our food, and left at 9:37. 27 MINUTES from going in and leaving. We had to call out to him for everything because he was IGNORING us. I will stick with the location by Vaughn mills way better service there everytime. read more

It was my first time at a Midori chain so that piece of surprise chicken at the bottom surprised me. I thought it was a cute touch though. Overall, I would say it is a good bowl of ramen. The broth was rich and flavourful, and the noodles had a great texture. Surprisingly the portion was also quite big, I had to take some of my noodles home as I could not finish it. I would say is that it is quite pricey, but I do feel like the quality and portion do make up for it.   This Richmond Hill location is not that big, and very busy, so there was a wait even on a weekday. There were some tables outside but unfortuntely since there is no awning, the sun is in your eyes making it impossible to sit there. Would be nice if they would be able to add some umbrellas or something at least to help reduce the wait for a table.   Overall, once we got a table it was an enjoyable experience. read more

A pretty good ramen spot to spin by if you're in the mood for some late night ramen. Opened decently late but not to midnight. The food itself was really good, we ordered the Aigamo Tataki, which is slices of soft, sous-vide duck with a side of yuzu wasabi and it was heavenly. The duck was super tender and flavourful on its own and the wasabi was so different in taste from the usual wasabi you get at Japanese places. It was still spicy but it had a nice sour kick to it. Paired together with the duck, it was amazing. For mains, we ordered the the Red Spicy at a medium spice level. It was packed full of flavour and honestly, we could have gone up a spice level cause it was good but didn't really have a kick to it. We ordered an extra egg to add on top and I think it really elevated the flavour. The space itself is very small and kind of cramped, but there was a cute bonsai layout at the front in the window that looked super aesthetic. I would have loved it if there were more spaces for seating and if there was just more space in general. Service was kind of slow, which sucked because we were super hungry. There was only one waiter, and she did her absolute best but it really did take a while to even put our order in. Overall not a bad place, would probably go back but maybe not when we're super hungry lol. read more

Authentic Japanese Ramen, simple, minimalistic, bold flavors in a compact bowl of noodles. Ambience: Two bar seating areas, one with a zen garden in front of you, and one in front of the chefs, the rest are small tables located near the interior of the restaurant. Modern design/decor in the restaurant space with upbeat lively music to pair. Service: As soon as you enter you are greeted by the staff in a very Japanese-manner, it may sound like yelling but I assure you it ain't. After we sat down we didn't even wait 2 minutes before someone came to take our order. (5/5) Menu selection is small (which is good); from the menu you can see they focus on key ingredients to ensure dishes are optimized for full flavor and they don't have a menu that is all over the place. Food: We ordered one bowl of the original tori paitan and one bowl of the truffle ramen. Original Tori Paitan - It was a pleasant taste with a rich, creamy broth that coats the mouth, the noodle texture was al dente as expected. Good portion of toppings that go along with this original dish. After a few bites and getting into this you will get tunnel vision on the dimensions and textures within the dish, exponential flavor combinations of the rich, creaminess of the broth and the different elementental combinations of garnishes to go with the dish. It was good, but expect this to be very heavy on the stomach. I didn't want to drive after, felt like I would get a DUI cause of my itis. () Truffle Ramen - The flavors in this dish was not fragrant to the nose, but when you mix this altogether and take a spoonful of the broth with the noodles/truffle - it is an explosion of flavor in your mouth. Truffle is a very strong ingredient to use and this is definitely the star of the show in this dish. If you truly love truffle, this item is on limited run - I am not sure how often it comes back but if you do get the chance to try, please be my guest. To say it is truffle is an understatement. *also very heavy and felt intoxicating in a good way () Parking: Big parking lot, however there are only a few spots in the front of the restaurant cause there is many eats in this specific plaza. You won't have trouble. Overall Experience: I'll have to come back and try the other dishes but if you do want ramen, definitely a place to check out. read more

came here due to special limited-edition ramen (green tea ramen). the advertisement makes my mouth watery! anything with green tea is usually yummy!' the service is fast, friendly, and attentive. the ramen comes (by default) with thick noodle and it cannot be substituted. ramen also comes with duck and some crispies(?) and green (not sure what is it. maybe arugula?). broth was good. creamy savory. thick noodle is bouncy...nice texture. it gives you that 'ummph' feeling when you bIte. duck is not bad (maybe could be tender. it's bit hard to cut in half with my teeth). the greens is such a turn off. it doesnt match the overall flavor of ramen. its taste is not suitable. hence less star. read more

I got takeout before, so this is a review based on the dine in experience. We came around 3pm on a weekend so it was less busy. The store was super bright and clean. Ramen was tasty but I feel it was quite salty compared to Sansotei. I was extremely thirsty after lunch. The SV duck was a bit dry without the dipping sauce. read more

This is a relatively new establishment that recently opened right along Yonge street. The plaza is tough to miss as there is a large T & T here along with a number of other establishments. My other half and I arrived late on a Tuesday night and there was about 3 other tables total. We were pleasantly greeted and seated immediately. The seats were large, but had a low back so dont be expecting to hang your jacket or lean back against it. There is a basket underneath each chair to put your belongings which is a nice touch. The decor is largely a light wood color based and is generally comfortable. After perusing the menu my other half and I ended up getting takowasabi, signature tori paitan, duck shoyu, aigamo tataki. The appetizers came out almost immediately and overall was a smaller portion but was very flavorful. The aigamo tataki (duck sous vide) was quite nice and had some nice garnishings on the side. I had the signature tori paitan and it had a very creamy broth that was not overly salty or fatty. There was one slice of chicken and one slice of pork chasu, and one "ramen style" egg. Now unfortunately this is where it starts to fall short. The broth for me unfortunately was close to room temperature and not piping hot, so that was a bit of a disappointment as ramen should be piping hot. I also had the thin noodles, and the noodles unfortunately was "limp" lacking texture and seemed to have flour residue on it. Imagine making wonton noodles and straight up boiling it without washing it, thats how these ramen noodles were. The egg was unfortunately partially cooked and the yolk was basically "chunky", since it was cooked just enough and solid enough that it was clumping up. Overall though despite these short comings I am planning on coming back another day to give this place another try. The service was fast and friendly, and the food came out quite quickly albeit a touch disappointing with the presentation. I think there is enough here to be optimistic that they can improve in the near future since they are relatively new to the area and it was decent enough that I am willing to give it another try in the near future. read more

Quiet, clean place with really nice seating. I like how the chairs are designed to use the least material for the minimum back support. The basket's at the bottom are good for bags/accessories however long/wet winter coats have nowhere to go except to be dropped over the chairback awkwardly. We got their Original (not in pic) and Signature Tori Paitan ramens. The difference is basically the soft boiled egg and some kind of dried flakes for ~$2 more. The umami of the chicken base came on top in the first few sips, but was soon lost in the overtly salty and creamy broth. I guess that pairing almost feels wrong because chicken soup is known to be light and easy to digest, whereas tonkatsu broth is rich and creamy. I did try to ask for less salt but the server explained that the nature of the broth was that it was pre-made and they could not adjust it. That part made me go 'huh' because you'd think that they would at least make some of the broth fresh each day to charge us at least 15$ for each bowl. And it's the first place that couldn't adjust the salt levels in their broth (eg. most ramen shops for example Kinton, Santouka, and Isshin, does it). Service was pretty mediocre due to the lack of communication between the two servers working that day. After one of them took our orders, the other one came and asked if we were ready to order. Also at the end they placed the machine on the table without configuring it to display the payment screen...10 min had passed and we had to call one of them to come and say 'what do we do with this machine?'. Overall it was good to check off my list of ramen shops but I'm likely to drive the extra kilometre to Kinton next time. read more

It's a smaller spot, but cozy and friendly. Located in the plaza on the North East corner of Yonge and Weldrick. The seating is designed not to keep you there for long - partial backs to some of the chairs. We sat at a large shared table in the front window. The small tables in the rest of the restaurant are very close together. Our server was very friendly and food arrived quickly. We had the signature bowl and the black garlic bowl with added corn. They were really good at helping with allergies. We both agreed that the black garlic ramen was the winner. There is not a lot of protein in the black garlic bowl, so you may want to add an appetizer if you have a bigger appetite. In all, would definitely repeat. read more

Dined at the one in Scarborough. Glad that they opened another restaurant in Richmond Hill, closer to where I live. I was greeted warmly as I stepped into the restaurant. It was playing upbeat music, which led me to feel energetic. As I settled down, I ordered a gyoza (dumplings) and a bowl of Black Garlic ramen. The Gyoza/dumplings arrived first. They were deep fried dumplings. So the outside of the dumplings were crispy and the inside were soft. They used chicken instead of pork for the dumplings. The taste was good but not extraordinary. The size of the dumplings were a bit smaller than the ones I usually ordered at other ramen restaurants. Then the ramen came. The bowl didn't look big but in fact there were a lot of ramen there. It also came with two slices of meat, one chicken and a pork. The broth was creamy. I could taste both flavours, chicken and garlic, in the broth. The chicken flavour seems stronger with a touch of garlic in the soup. Nevertheless, the broth was savoury. I could not stop from drinking the broth. It was a good experience. read more

Came here for the soft opening! The ambience was nice and amazing! If you love creamy ramen, this is a place for you! They simmer the broth for over 10ths to extract the bone broth creating a nice silky creamy soup base. I love getting thick noodles and it was perfectly cooked to Al dente. If you have children, might be difficult for you as they are single chairs. All the servers were attentive and professional. read more

Great vegetarian ramen. Highly recommend! Will be back. Cute little environment and decor.

First time here the service was good. The food is not bad but the chicken breast was nothing special and the noodles was ok and the soup was too creamy for me. I had to drink more water to digest. It took a little longer to get the Ramen and the soup wasn't really hot. Overall the place is clean. read more

I don't usually give one star. I tried the thick noodle which is not thick and the broth is very salty. Most important thing was the broth just warm.
