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.

Amazing Ramen!! The Mai Tai Pineapple was DELICIOUS!! So yum! I really wish this was closer to home so I could have both again & again! Order the Miso Ramen & Mai Tai, you won't be disappointed!

We tried their tonkotsu ramen. The broth looked good but could be richer. The portion was great with 3 thick slices of chasu & half of the egg which can be marinated better as well. Noodles used were the yellow noodles, came with bamboo shoots & black fungus. Service was excellent

Meilleur ramen à Québec, prix abordable.

Me & a group were on a business trip to Quebec & we were craving soup. Our initial idea was pho but all the Vietnamese restaurants were either closed or not open late enough for us. So we opted for ramen! The restaurant's vibes & interior was a fusion of modern club-like aesthetic & Japanese decor. The automated lucky cat & ramen display was cool at the store front. Interior is spacious & we got to choose anywhere to sit. The food came out quick & most of what we ordered was tasty. For the appetizers, the kimchi was a bit too sweet for my liking; perhaps it was not fermented long enough. Warning with the kimchi, it was too spicy for my colleagues but I thought it was fine as I'm normally used to eating spicy food. We ordered the edamame & the seasoning they put in that numbs your mouth after eatting it for awhile. I think they use peppercorn or something. I have never had edamame numb my mouth before. With the main dishes, all the ramen tasted pretty generic. One of my colleagues had dietary restrictions & they were able to accommodate her & take certain ingredients out. If you order the duck ramen, the meat is sweet almost as if they used marinated duck meat. I felt it didn't go well with the rest of the soup taste. I also ordered a ramen combo that came with a chicken cutlet. The chicken cutlet was left a little too long in the deep fryer but regardless it still tasted good, just extra crunchy! We shared a L'arc en ciel roll aka rainbow roll. This one was alright, not the most outstanding taste. The okonomiyaki & salmon nigiri were really tasty. I'd recommend those as you can't go wrong. The service was a bit slow. The restaurant at night looked like it was run by young teens & I stared for a good 5 min watching the young waitress scrolling through her phone. Our table also ran out of water & I again had to wave her down & get her attention. I think if I were to come here again, I would stick with the sushi & nigiri next time. Some of the appetizers are a hit or miss but would be interesting to try the other stuff on their menu. Still, it's a great restaurant for late night eats & decent price if you don't mind the slow service.

Tapas (Izakaya food menu) seems like to be made from frozen package food that can be purchased from the market. Ramens are better than tapas

Personnellement mon favoris pour ce qui est de la cuisine japonaise à Québec, à l'exception peut-être du Tora-Ya (qui a toujours une bonne file à l'entrée, contrairement à ici) Large variété de plats, excellents rapports qualité-prix. Il est autant possible de venir y manger un ramen de qualité pour 20$ par personne que d'y passer des heures à enchaîner les plats autours d'un verre.

J'adore la nourriture ici, surtout le rapport qualité-prix. J'y suis allée deux fois avec des amis différents & le prix est excellent pour nous tous. La seule chose qui doit être améliorée est le service à la clientèle. Mais je reviendrai certainement parce que la nourriture est délicieuse & le prix est juste. La seule chose que je n'ai pas aimée est le goût des ramen, c'est la seule chose que je ne recommande pas d'essaye

Lorsque nous sommes entrés dans le restaurant tout de suite nous étions assis. Nous avions commandé & même pas, 10 minutes après les Ramens & entrée était servie, les mai-thai était délicieux je le recommande a tout ceux qui aime l'ananas. Le service était rapide, la nourriture était fraîche & chaude & l'ambiance était relaxante & romantique.

Meilleure soupe ramen que j'ai mangé!

Very solid ramen. The miso broth & tonkosu broth are both very flavorful. The pork in the ramen is nothing to write home about, but it certainly wasn't bad either.
