IIKO Mazesoba

I finally got the chance to try this Japanese noodle spot, located opposite Paddy’s Market. It’s the perfect place to sit down with a bowl of noodles while people-watching. I ordered the Zenbu Mazesoba and it didn’t disappoint—the noodles had a lovely texture, paired with spicy pork belly chashu and a silky onsen egg. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed it; pure umami bliss.

I highly recommend this place!! We decided to randomly walk in and give this place a shot and I’m so glad we did. Their serving sizes are MASSIVE and the mazesoba is soooo good 🤩 Prices are decent too considering how much food you get for it. Service is also really good, staff were super attentive and friendly!

I absolutely love this place! I'm a huge fan of the thick noodles, that are extra chewy and flavoursome, along with the delicious toppings. My recommendation is the Zenbu Mazesoba with spicy pork, and definitely ask for rice at the end to mop up the remaining sauce.

A really good spot for Japanese comfort food. Solid dishes across the menu, with plenty of flavour and good value. Had the pork mince dish. Casual environment makes it an easy place to catch up with friends or for a quick, relaxed meal.

Absolutely amazing. The mazesoba is packed with flavour and very bouncy. We had the spicy fresh tuna mazesoba, the duck truffle mazesoba and ebi croquettes. Portion of the dish is very generous with reasonable price. Will definitely come back for other dishes. Highly recommend!!!

I love this place! The noodles are perfect! I’ve been especially fond of their vegan mazesoba lately!

I have been here many times before, and it is high time that I drop a review for this place. It is my go-to for brothless ramen, and here are my highlights for this eatery: - It is located at an extremely convenient location. Very close to the Haymarket light rail stops and not a far walk from Central station. - Service is consistently top-notch. Very friendly staff who are attentive and patient. - My favourite go-to is the original mazesoba. Even though it is brothless, it is still packed with flavour. With it being delish, I wish there was a larger portion. - Love the small portion of free rice that soaks up the leftover sauce at the end when the noodles have been eaten. I personally like leaving too a bit of meat to complement the rice. - There is indoor and outdoor seating. It can get quite windy or cold with outdoor seating. During the colder months, they will have heaters outside and for anyone who is queuing. - They accept bookings in advance and walk-ins. - During the winter and truffle season, they serve beautiful mazesobas with truffles. I always look forward to them. All in all, it was a very solid 4 towards 5 for me. I am always happy to come back here for a good meal. Oh, and they have a promotion on their merchandise where if one dines here, the merch can be purchased with a 50% discount.

The quality of food was excellent, the drinks, amosphere too but above all else was the customer service. The staff were bubbly, friendly and always engaged and really made the experience memorable for what it is

This was our first time trying the soup less ramen and it was delicious. Indoor seating looked a little tight so our group of five sat outside. The staff turned on the propane heaters so that helped keep us warm during this fall weather. Instead of soup, our bowls were served with sauce placed at the bottom and then we mixed it with all the dry ingredients. I tried the spicy tuna version which was cold and unique for a ramen but somewhat like a poke bowl. It turned out to be quite good and not as much splatter from slurping noodles this way. The family also tried the unagi, duck and XO piggy (pork) and all liked their mazesobas. Service was very good with the staff regularly checking in on us. Will look for a similar style once back in the US.
