Tora-Ya Ramen

Crowded when we arrived & waited about half an hour in total for a seat & our food to arrive. But it was a good call & there were some Asian looking folks which validated our choice.

The miso ramen was nicely done like what we had in Japan. Broth was rich but do note that the chashu is different. It was thicker & not torched. The egg was also abit over cooked & not as runny. But overall still a good bowl of ramen!

The star for me was the Yakisoba! Nicely stirred fried noodles which go really well with the vegetables. Again it's slightly salty which I guessed it's the norm for Canadians.

Recommend for anyone yearning for a some Japanese food in Quebec.

This place feels authentic, has great service but one pretty big flaw. The flaw that I am referring too is the fact that their menu is puny. I don't eat pork & the fact that I had to get vegetarian ramen kinda irked me. I have eaten ramen at a million different places & they all served either beef or chicken broth ramen. Still highly recommend if you eat pork based foods. The vegetarian ramen was still okay.

The Google need to have a bonus star for when things are more than 100% great. It was a cold days & we stopped in for ramen. I had the kimchi ramen & we shared the Japanese chicken bites. The chicken bites were quite remarkable but didn't hold a candle to the ramen broth. My partner thought the broth was too spicy, so maybe it's for those with a bit of a tolerance. There are no pictures as I was overcome with ravenous desire when the food was presented. The most disappointing thing about this visit was that the following day my partner wanted fried Chicken again but they were closed... We went to a fancier place up the road & it was very inferior....

Great spot with really good vegan ramen & a friendly staff. Also some great drinks (sake & plum liquor among other things). You have two good ramen choices within a 15 min walk (here & Hono). Hono has a more intimate atmosphere for a dinner date; while Tora-ya has a brighter livelier feel. For vegan options, Tora-ya's is a homey miso base with great veggies & savory tofu on top; Hono is a spicier richer broth with less veggie & soy protein. My partner & I were split on which we preferred - I think Hono was more decadent & Tora-ya more hearty. Can't go wrong either way

Best ramen in the entire province of Quebec. Fast service, quality ingredients, absolutely mouth-watering soup broth & very fair prices! One of the cheapest meals we had while visiting QC. Love this spot!!

A nice little ramen place in Quebec City, the location & the restaurant is very cozy & clean. Ordered a Omori shoyu ramen & it was a'meh' experience. The noodle was alright, but the broth is just mediocre. The service was also mediocre, with staff simply running around but not attentive with refilling empty glass of water. Price is also mediocre $20 for a mediocre noodle. Would I recommend? Meh...

Went today to the ramen restaurant, but was sadly very disappointed. While the service is nice & we got a table fairy fast. The ramen is nothing like what we are used to. Its flavour is as far away from japanese ramen as is Canada from Japan. The broth lacks the richness of ramen & is just overly salty. Meat is not tender at all, & the noodles are definitely not self-made. It is a ramen, but it is made for foreigners

We visited this restaurant the first time. We waited about 15 mins for a table on a Sunday night. Our ramen arrived after 15 mins after we ordered them. The miso broth was rich. The noodles were cooked right. There were 3 pics of pork, an soft boiled egg & a lot of vegetables. Too bad that the pork was not tender enough. Otherwise, it'd be 5 stars. Parking was available on the street.

For sure not the best Ramen in the world, but maybe the most authentic in quebec city. Broth needs to be a bit more thicker & bold. & lack of pork belly quality... but delicious anyway. & at least they speak Japanese & they have Asahi beer. Kanpai

The ramen were really sub standard. The broth was bland, the meat tasted old, the chicken breast was super dry. We were served edamame without salt. The takoyaki was delicious tho
