About

Chika Ramen Izakaya focuses on the precise art of Japanese noodle craftsmanship and traditional small plate culture. The kitchen prepares authentic tonkotsu and shoyu ramen broths, utilizing long-simmered ingredients to achieve a deep, complex flavor profile. Diners encounter a wide selection of izakaya-style appetizers, including crispy gyoza, savory yakitori skewers, and fresh market-inspired seasonal offerings. The interior design emphasizes a casual, high-energy atmosphere that prioritizes communal seating and focused interaction with the culinary workspace. Noodle textures remain consistent with traditional standards, offering firm, springy bites that pair effectively with aromatic oils and house-made toppings. The beverage program complements the salty, umami-rich profile of the ramen bowls with a variety of cold Japanese beers and distilled spirits. This establishment serves as a dedicated destination for those seeking traditional Japanese comfort food.

Review Summary

Chika Ramen Izakaya generally receives praise for its cozy atmosphere, generous portions, and flavorful ramen and appetizers like karaage and takoyaki, making it a popular spot for visitors and locals in Quebec City. While many diners enjoy the authentic-style offerings, friendly staff, and fair pricing, experiences can be inconsistent regarding service speed, food freshness, and the complexity of certain broth bases. Some patrons have noted concerns about recent menu changes, minor cleanliness issues, and occasional lapses in attentive service, yet many still recommend it as a solid choice for a satisfying and warm meal.

Ordered spicy miso ramen. Tasted good since it was first meal in Quebec City after long flight.

Un de mes restaurants préférés à Québec. Le restaurant est situé dans un endroit très animé de la ville. Directement sous le Dagobert, le restaurant se spécialise en Ramen mais également en tapas japonais.
C'est principalement pour les''à-côtés'' que je vais là.
Je recommande particulièrement les Takoyaki. Ceux-ci sont meilleurs que ceux que j'ai personnellement mangé à Osaka. De plus, le karaage est particulièrement bon & c'est le meilleur marché/prix des tapas (à partager essentiellement). Les gyozas représentent très bien la version authentique japonaise. Le seul tapas que j'ai remarqué être assez différent de l'original japonais est le Okonomiyaki. Celui-ci avait plutôt l'air d'un pâté fait avec un moule. Les ramens sont également délicieux, mais vous pouvez amplement partager les tapas & vous serez heureux.

We recently visited Chika Ramen Izakaya in Quebec City & had a generally pleasant experience, though with some mixed impressions. It's located in one of the most vibrant streets in Quebec city known for its great food options. The atmosphere stood out right away, with a cozy & stylish vibe that made it a lovely spot to enjoy a meal. The staff were also warm & friendly, which added to the welcoming environment.

When it came to the food, the portions were generous & satisfying, but the dishes themselves felt fairly average. While everything was decent, I found the flavours lacked a certain freshness & the unique touch that can elevate a ramen or izakaya experience. It felt more like standard fare rather than something carefully crafted by the chef.

One thing worth noting is accessibility. The restaurant is located half a level below street level, so you need to walk down a few stairs to enter. This makes it difficult for anyone using a wheelchair or with mobility concerns.

Overall, Chika Ramen Izakaya is a pleasant place to spend an evening, thanks to its ambiance & friendly service, but the food leaves room for improvement. A solid four stars.

Das Restaurant liegt in einer Nebenstraße der Grande Allee. Wir haben draußen gesessen was zwar bei dem schönen Wetter angenehm war aber das Ambiente war doch recht dürftig. Dafür war das Essen um so besser. Alle Speisen waren frisch und sehr lecker. Das Kimmchie war gut fermentiert und der Ramen sehr aromatisch. Es gab Sapporo vom Faß. Ein gelungener Abend.

Food comes out very slow. We wait about 30 mins on Civic Monday for ramen to come out.
The Sama fish was delicious, but all the 3 ramen broth we ordered were a huge disappointment. The broth was shallow & flat.

I was looking for a ramen & had a go on Chika. The kimchi was delicious but spicy (I love it but some people don't)
I had the pork broth with chicken ramen. It was a generous portion. The broth was tasty & the egg delicious.

This place is not authentic. Tonkotsu pork ramen is probably the best. The shabu shabu is ok. It has beef, tofu, corn, Chinese cabbage, mushrooms, daikon radish, & half an egg. The beef is very chewy. Other non-meat ingredients are ok. It comes with rice. Flavor wise is good. The service is ok. One of the cups are super greasy. & they didn't serve the dishes the right way. Anyway, not too amazed with this place. But as there are not many Asian restaurants nearby, so it's not bad.

Ma famille & moi avons beaucoup apprécié nos plats de ramens. Pour notre dernière destination dans un restaurant asiatique à Québec, nous avons été entièrement comblés.
La décoration aux tons sombres & l'ambiance calme étaient parfaites. Merci pour ce moment !
