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!
Friendly staff & very accommodating! We visited as a group of 5 in a weeknight without a reservation, unfortunately as the restaurant is quite cozy & a small space, a table of 5 is a bit tight. Would recommend no more than a party of 4 to dine here. Ordered a couple of appetizers, the karaage & takoyaki, & ramen. Noodles had great texture & overall good. Would come back for a quick meal.
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!

We came from Toronto & miss a bowl of ramen, so we came to this place to try out since it has a high rating. We ordered 3 bowls of miso ramen with extra chasu & 1 stir fry pork. The service is very slow & long line up. We waited for 45mins at least to get 5 seats; then wait another 30 mins for our food.. just get your self ready when you r coming to this place. The ramen is not good, blend, noodle texture is not bouncy. The meat is very hard to chew.. the stir fried pork is good.. sorry this place is not our preference.
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!
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.
Let me start with the good things, because, well, there aren't many, but credit where it's due. The staff were very polite & efficient, the place was clean, & the location is fairly convenient if you're coming from Old Québec. So yes, that's pretty much everything nice I can say.
Now, onto the disappointing part, which is, unfortunately, most of the experience.
First, the portion. I'm not sure if the kitchen uses a jeweler's scale to weigh noodles, but my bowl couldn't have had more than 100 grams of ramen. The restaurant is called Tora-Ya,'Tiger's Den', but this portion isn't for a tiger. It's more like something you'd serve to a Neko, which means a kitten in Japanese.
Then, the flavor, or should I say… the salt. Because that's pretty much all there was. No depth, no complexity, no umami flavor, just salt. I kept drinking water to dilute it, & by the end, I felt like a water balloon. Even my burps afterward were tasteless. Honestly, this isn't just far from the ramen I had in Sapporo back in 2017...it's not even close to what you'd get at a Chinese-run Japanese restaurant in Toronto.
Oh, & one more awkward thing: the restrooms. There are two, & the signs were so'artistically' ambiguous that I genuinely couldn't tell which was for men & which was for women. I picked an empty one, only to be politely informed by other customers on my way out that I'd used the women's. Upon closer inspection, yeah, maybe that stick figure had a skirt. Or maybe it was a ghost. Who knows? I understand the store wants to be unique. But just put an'M' & an'F,' or'Homme/Femme,' or even the kanji ?/?.
All in all...my experience was disappointing, overpriced, & oddly confusing. I would not recommend unless you're on a very strict low-carb, low-flavor, high-sodium diet. & yeah enjoy the guessing games at the bathroom door.
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.
