Comes pretty close to the quality of ramen in Japan. I also take the tonkotsu ramen. Just love that porky flavour. The takoyaki were good. Would definitely return (especially because there take out wrapping is done very nicely)
Kenzo Ramen Japanese Noodle Restaurants is located on the Dundas St Downtown Toronto. The restaurant is famous for Japanese style noodles and all the noodles are freshly made in the restaurant. There are many locations in Toronto.
The one I’ve been with my boyfriend is on Dundas St. It’s a small restaurant. There are two floors of this restaurant. Because we arrived the restaurant right at the dinner time, the restaurant was very busy. We have to wait for while to get into the restaurant. After a few minutes waiting, we got a table upstairs. There were so many people in the restaurant. We quickly sat down and began to look at the menu. The menu is very colorful with images, which is very easy for us to order the food. The servers were very nice and friendly. They bought the drinks and introduced the menu to us.
My boyfriend and I had Japanese Takoyaki for share. The Takoyaki in Kenzo Ramen is super expensive around $10 per dish, which is more expensive than many restaurants in Vancouver. But, all the Takoyaki ball tasted fresh and lots of seafood inside. I believe that it totally worth the price. I had Miso Ramen and my boyfriend had Netsu Ramen. Both ramens were all in the large portions of noodles in soup. The soups tasted very different from each other. The ramen noodles tasted very fresh and soft. The soup very tasty and delicious. It was very awesome dinner for us. I love this restaurant so much. Cheap and Delicious. Highly Recommend to people.
The server was really great and friendly and I mostly am leaving a positive review because everyone else enjoyed their ramen - I'm vegetarian so ramen is very pass/fail. The one I had wasn't great but they do have more than one vegetarian option so if I'm in the area again I would try the other ones!
Quick and courteous service, good quantity, great taste, and good value. I had the Miso Ramen which was very good. It was a bit annoying to go to the desk and pay the bill but good experience overall. Good pick for something quick and healthy during the weekday.
After a marathon, the best way to recovery is getting some carbs and electrolytes from ramen. Did I run a marathon? No, Mr.Butter did! (He did amazingly!) Sansotei Ramen was closed on Sunday, so we eyed for the next ramen shop – Kenzo Ramen. (I just learned that Kenzo Ramen has many locations – this one is located on Dundas.)
dre @ Dundas and Bay: My co-worker and I wanted to go to Sansotei for lunch, but there was a line out the door! It was cold outside, so we didn't want to wait. Across the street was Kenzo, so we went there instead. I ordered the Shio Ramen and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't too salty. It was quite busy, but they were very quick!
We came here on a busy weekday for lunch. I can see the appeal of going here for lunchtime during a work day, as it is close by many offices and the hospitals and the speedy service makes it an in-and-out kind of place.
We got the tsukemen and tonkotsu. The tonkotsu was not as rich as some other places (which I actually prefer) and had a ginger flavour to it. Not a lot of people get the tsukemen (which are the noodles with the dipping sauce) when going to eat ramen. However, I like getting it as I can control how much flavour/salty the noodles get.
Overall, this place has fast service and yummy ramen. Not my top ramen place in Toronto but definitely not the worst.
Not much to say but a very friendly place with good food for a very good price. Noodles came within 5 minutes of ordering and the ramen was delicious! I got the king ramen bowl as I hadn't eaten anything all day and it was quite filling. The soup wasn't too salty and the noodles/meat were cooked to perfection. If you're hungry and need a quick bite and close to the Eaton's centre, this is the place to go.
I'm happy I found this ramen joint.
My friends and I came here after the Christmas market.
It was a bitter cold day outside and we wanted some delicious ramen to warm us up.
I ordered the king of kings and my two friends ordered the Natsu. We also ordered the gyoza.
The restaurant was pretty full and we received our ramen in under three minutes. I really appreciated it how they snapped to it.
My king of kings ramen was heavenly. The flavours in the broth were perfectly balanced. Usually other places use a lot of salt and MSG, but there were no predominant flavours that came forward. King of kings also had the PERFECT amount of spice. When I ask for spicy at other ramen places I'm either leaking or not getting any spice at all.
The noodles were not soggy. They had just the right amount of chewiness.
I commend Kenzo ramen for all of this.
My other two friends loved their ramen as well.
When I was halfway through my meal, the gyoza came. I almost didn't order them because I've never had gyoza that was really worth it.
This gyoza was steamed then pan fried. One side was crispy and the wrapper was not chewy. The meat inside was soft and so savoury. I was so glad we ordered the plate with six instead of three (two each!). Those were the best gyoza I ever tasted.
The only problem was the service was a little MIA.
When it was time to get our bill it took a little while to wave the guy down. I understand they were busy.
With this negative came a positive because there was absolutely no rush here to finish our food. They more or less left us alone throughout our meal.
I'll be back on another cold day.
This is a great find on Dundas st west! It's a small and neat restaurant with friendly service. I had the Sho Yu ramen which is a soy-sauce based broth with roast pork and bamboo. It's delicious and fits my definition of perfect comfort food. If you're looking for a lot of veggies, go for the king sized ramen. On my next visit, I'm definitely trying the Miso ramen and Matcha latte.
