Chika Ramen Izakaya

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.

We had a nice dinner here. The food was all fresh. Agedashi Tofu was unique but good. Sushi sizes were generous. I recommend the Ika Squid in particular.

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

Stopped in for sushi. Took literally minutes to get food after ordering. Not sure how they do that. Not the most authentic sushi but it will meet the needs of most.

Bonne portion, bonne saveur, bonne diversité. Le service est inexistant & peu professionnel, mais cela n'est pas bien grave. Les repas sont arrivés très rapidement. Peu d'ambiance, mais fait amplement le travail
