Musoshin Ramen

We came on a Friday evening to Musoshin Ramen as a party of two to celebrate my friend's birthday. The service was fantastic. As soon as we sat down, we were served water. When we checked out the menu, we found the dishes we wanted to eat and had some questions before ordering. The waiter was knowledgeable and answered our questions and took our order. The food came out promptly, and it was so delicious! Both the meat-based and vegan broths were so delicious, and the noodles were chewy. The meats were grilled beautifully and with the special you get all 3 kinds: beef, chicken and pork which is really nice. The one thing both my friend and I appreciated was that the food came out hot, but not boiling hot to the point where we couldn't enjoy it right away. We got another vegan broth to go when leaving because my other friend, after hearing about how good it is, asked us to bring her food. The atmosphere was great, too. They had Japanese music playing in the background soft enough that you could hold a conversation with no problems. I can definitely see why this restaurant has been on the Michelin guide for the last 3 years.

Everything tasted well. However, portions were pretty minuscule, $18.50 for a small bowl of ramen with little noodles and 2 paper thin slices of chashu. Presentation for the karaage was poor, looked like something from an all you can eat restaurant. Still hungry after what was ordered, was gonna order more but given what was already served, decided not to. Very minimal service provided. Once again, food was good, but value was poor.

Top ramen spots I’ve ever been to in the city. Amazing staff, owner, and atmosphere. Fresh ingredients that made me want to come back. I got their vegan ramen plus beef and egg, and vegan strawberry mochi with red bean. They were great with allergies, if you’re allergic to almonds just know their curry dishes do have almond milk, but ask the server for their allergy matrix to look at all their common allergens :)

I wasn’t aware that Musoshin was a Michelin guide restaurant, but I was on the hunt for a gluten-free ramen option with some friends, and they delivered just that. They made sure from the noodles to the broth that it was gluten free 🙂 which was greatly appreciated. I ordered the Ajitama ramen, and the flavors were fantastic—perfectly balanced and not too heavy. The wait time was reasonable, but keep in mind that only parties of six can make reservations. .

This ramen restaurant is the best in the city. The noodles had the perfect texture, and the broth was incredibly delicious. The charred pork was flavourful and perfectly cooked as well. We also ordered the karaage chicken which was so juicy and crispy. The authentic flavours made the dining experience unforgettable. Nestled in a quiet, cozy neighborhood, this spot offers a lovely ambiance that adds to its charm!! ✨

I love the vibe of this cozy Japanese ramen restaurant. The ramen and beef taste fantastic and I wish they had a large size! XD The good quality and aesthetic of their porcelain bowls, dishes, and cups enhance the dining experience a lot. You will feel so right to be in an authentic Japanese place. My friend bought a matcha bowl from them. Everyone is very friendly and nice. Even when they missed something on the order, I still didn’t get bad feelings or emotions. The place and their hospitality just made me so calm. I bought a Sokupan and strawberry mochi and took them home. They are still delicious.

Drove An hour n Toronto traffic to come here. Tucked away in a one way street. Uniquely authentic ramen house from Kyoto, Japan. Even staff are true Japanese, not yet well versed in English. I order the mild 🌶️ spicy ramen with beef tenderloin, taste rich, and noodles are bouncy soft not overcooked. I can tell that kitchen staff at the open kitchen are really into their craft. Tonkatsu is overdone a bit, crunchy little burnt. I ned to down the bits with water. You can order extra broth for 2 bucks, eggs 2 bucks, and noodles 2 bucks. I thoroughly enjoyed the taste. Friendly staff provided a welcoming vibe. Parking is free in front of store. Dangerous challenging stairs to the washrooms in the basement. We are lucky to have so many authentic ramen chains opening in Toronto. Kudos to the chef and staff.

Overall we had a better experience at the Waterworks location, the meat tasted a bit off… The ramen and broth were still great, much better quality than the chain-restaurants. It was very busy when we got there, the restaurant was understaff so service quality is not up to Japanese standard in my opinion. The decor has a small shack vibe but it feels a bit unorganised, reminded me of a suburb/Okinawa ramen place. Next time I would be more inclined to visit the Waterworks location
