Chika Ramen Izakaya se concentre sur l'art précis de la confection des nouilles japonaises et sur la culture traditionnelle des petites assiettes à partager. La cuisine prépare des bouillons authentiques de type tonkotsu et shoyu en utilisant des ingrédients mijotés pendant de longues heures pour obtenir un profil aromatique riche et complexe. Les clients découvrent une sélection variée d'entrées façon izakaya, incluant des gyoza croustillants, des brochettes yakitori savoureuses et des créations saisonnières inspirées par le marché. L'aménagement intérieur privilégie une atmosphère décontractée et dynamique qui favorise le partage et l'observation directe du travail culinaire. La texture des nouilles respecte les standards traditionnels, offrant une mâche ferme qui s'associe efficacement aux huiles aromatiques. Cette adresse constitue une destination spécialisée pour les amateurs de plats réconfortants japonais préparés avec rigueur et une attention particulière aux saveurs umami.
Chika Ramen Izakaya est généralement apprécié pour son atmosphère chaleureuse, ses portions généreuses et ses plats savoureux, notamment les ramens et les tapas comme le karaage et les takoyaki, ce qui en fait une destination prisée à Québec. Bien que de nombreux clients apprécient le style authentique, le personnel accueillant et les prix abordables, les expériences peuvent varier en ce qui concerne la rapidité du service, la fraîcheur des aliments et la richesse des bouillons. Certains clients ont souligné des changements récents dans le menu, des problèmes mineurs de propreté et des lacunes occasionnelles dans le service, mais l'établissement demeure une adresse souvent recommandée pour un repas copieux et réconfortant.
The Awesome: Seated immediately, close to Le Concord hotel, tasty, filling & very fair priced. I would definitely go back. The not so awesome: If it matters to you, there did not seem to be any Japanese workers in the front or back of house. Karage was good & plentiful, but lacked skin. The butabara was huge (great value, but not really bite sized pieces). Rice is a complement to all the other dishes served in an Izakaya. It should, therefore, be brought out with the first round of dishes. On two occassions, I had to get up to request service from our server, who was busy playing with her phone. That should never happen! &, that was the only reason I felt a star should be deducted.
Fantastic Japanese restaurant with an energizing ambiance. I say Japanese restaurant because between the ramen, tapas, & the sushi, it is a lot more than just a ramen place. The ramen is excellent with a mix of traditional flavours & more French inspired ones on offer. Tapas are well priced. I've never seen such big bore sushi rolls in my life. If you like your Japanese food & are in Québec, this place is a must try.

Ordered Ramen Miso Spicy with Pork. However, it is not really Japanese Ramen. It is more likely Chinese style spicy noodle soup, both the spicy oil & pork.
Visited Isakiya in Quebec City & were absolutely delighted! The ambiance was fantastic, the food was delicious, & the service was attentive. Yes, there was quite a long line, & we had to wait about 20 minutes, but it was worth it. Highly recommend it to all Japanese cuisine lovers!
This place has delicious Japanese food. I really enjoyed my dumplings & my ramen. I was a little bit frustrated with some aspects of the service though. I was sat on the far side of the restaurant & was completely ignored once I received my food. I tried for more than 15 minutes to ask for more water & not one server even looked at me. I had to eventually walk over to the counter & wait for someone to acknowledge me to get my water myself. Not the end of the world, but I would have liked someone to check on me at least once during the meal.
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.
