Une excellente découverte culinaire.
?Si vous cherchez un endroit où bien manger, n'hésitez surtout pas. Le poulet était tout simplement incroyable, croustillant, savoureux & cuit à la perfection. Le ramen était tout aussi excellent, avec un bouillon riche & des nouilles délicieuses.
?Pour couronner le tout, j'ai goûté la boisson Hata Ramune . une belle touche exotique, très rafraîchissante & vraiment délicieuse.
?Une expérience fantastique du début à la fin. Je reviendrai sans hésiter !

Incredible Food & Drinks!
?If you're looking for an amazing meal, this place is a must try! The chicken was absolutely top-tier, crispy, flavorful, & cooked to perfection. The ramen was equally excellent, with rich broth & delicious noodles that hit the spot.
?To top it off, I tried the Hata Ramune drink was exotic, super refreshing, & absolutely delicious.
?Fantastic experience all around. I'll definitely be coming back for more!

We loved Tora-Ya Ramen! The starters were delicious - everything came out fresh & full of flavor. Then the ramen: rich broth, springy noodles, & such yummy toppings. Cozy atmosphere & friendly service too. Definitely going back!

This was my first time visiting Quebec, & missing Japanese ramen brought me to this cozy, charming little spot. The restaurant has a really nice atmosphere.
As for the food, the broth is a lighter soy sauce (shoyu) style. If you prefer authentic, heavy Japanese flavors, you might find it needs a bit more salt-personally, I'm a bigger fan of rich tonkotsu broth. However, the texture of the noodles was absolutely spot on & my favorite part of the meal.
They also offer drinks like Asahi beer & umeshu (plum wine). For me, wrapping up the day with a hot bowl of ramen & a cold beer is one of life's greatest pleasures!

Ordered the miso raman, & was about to be given another one. The waiter realized the mistake & put through the correct order. But it seemed rush at the point. The broth was good, but found the serving size smaller than typical ramen bowls.

Had a really good experience at Tora-Ya restaurant. The broth was flavorful & rich, the noodles were cooked perfectly, & the portions were satisfying. The staff were friendly & service was quick even during busy hours. The atmosphere was cozy & relaxed, making it a nice place to enjoy a warm meal. Definitely a solid spot for ramen & I'd come back to try more dishes.

This ramen shop is a bit far from the Old Town - you'll need to take a bus to get there - but it's totally worth it! The ramen tastes really authentic & the broth isn't overly salty. The beer was perfectly cold & refreshing, & the fried chicken was surprisingly good! They use chicken breast instead of thigh meat, which was a nice surprise. If you have time to visit, I highly recommend trying their fried chicken - it's a must!

Decent place, but nothing special. Noodles are good, broth (pork/miso?) is wanting, but vide is pretty good. Surprised it's as popular as it is.

Nice little cozy shop. Our family of 7 went there at dinner time. Initially they said may need to split us in 2 tables but in the end gave us one big table. Staff were friendly. I ordered a miso-vege with kale noodles. Fantastic. The vegetables were very fresh. Normally I don't like bamboo shoot in Japanese style, but their bamboo shoot was fresh & the best tasting bamboo shoot I ever ate. My brother who hates vegetables also thought the vegetables tasted really good. I also ordered Umeshu. Best plum wine I drank outside Japan. My family ordered Kara-age (fried chicken). It was juicy & meat was fresh, with not too much starch powder or oil.

Some drawback to improve...

Need a better queuing system for customer. Initially I was a bit confused where to wait & whether need to inform staff that we would like to dine in when a lot of people was crowding around at the door.

Yasai Miso (ramen with meat) a bit on salty side.

Also the door was way too heavy to push open 😅

Great find in this beautiful city of Quebec!

Small & cozy place with great flavor bomb food.

The staff is friendly, tending to seat you as soon as possible. Word of advice, reserve or be prepared to wait a bit. There's always a queue.

The food is packed with flavor. The miso ramen broth is rich, yet delicate. The noodles are bouncy & hold the broth well. Also took the karage & it's very lightly breaded, which I prefer as you get to bite on the juicy chicken.

Another surprise is they have authentic melon Ramuné!

Saw that they have curry. Will have to try that next time!

Kimchi ramen had the *driest* chicken that I've ever had. Disappointing. I could tell it was cold refigerated chicken that was not heated up before placed in my bowl because some pieces (not submerged in broth) were cold. It was bearable when paired with the freshness of the kimchi, but ramen should not be relying on the toppings to mask the dryness of the protein.

Noodles, bean sprouts, corn, & egg were good. Broth was alright, creamy & full, but lacking a distinct standout flavor.
