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.

Get in while you can. This spot fills up really quickly & is packed most nights. Absolutely get the karaage chicken, it's a must have.

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.

I loved this place! It was like going back to Japan! We were 4, the restaurant is cute, not too big & very welcoming. The staff is so kind & they explain perfectly the menu, which is amazing for people like me with ibs problems. They give you also advices to be satisfied spending less. The ramen was amazing! I chose a shoy?. The portion was big & i replaced the pork with the chicken, adding the tofu without any problems. We also shared the mochis, suddenly it was like being in Kyoto 😍 Takoyaki are also recommended! Prices very good: average 22$ each for a ramen + shared dessert. Thank you for this experience!
During the weekend, you can also find free parkings in the little streets close to the restaurant.

Ramen was good but quite salty. Fried chicken very tender. Staff is very friendly, they let us move from the bar to a table although it was getting busy.

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....

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

Excellent & Cozy Ramen place!! Delicious Karaage Chicken, Gyozas & my favorite Omaru Miso! Juan was our server & he was very attentive & even suggested places in the area for us to explore while we stayed in Quebec City. Juan is above & beyond! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
