Situé au centre-ville de Québec, TORA-YA RAMEN prépare des délicieux ramens servis dans un bouillon chaud avec amour et soin. Vous trouverez également une variété de plats et Tsumami (tapas japonais). Nous servons également des boissons sake, bière, vin et sans alcool.
Les amateurs de ramen trouveront chez Tora Ya Ramen un endroit chaleureux avec des bouillons savoureux, des nouilles parfaitement cuites et des portions généreuses. La carte propose des choix populaires comme le karaage et le mochi, et les bouillons des ramens miso et shoyu sont riches et équilibrés. Le personnel aimable et attentif assure un service rapide même en période d'affluence, et l'ambiance est authentique et accueillante. Bien que l'espace soit intime et que des files d'attente puissent se former, l'expérience globale demeure chaleureuse et satisfaisante.
Authentic ramen spot with great service & atmosphere. The karaage chicken was delicious. The ramen was good, but I believe it was just slightly bland. However, everyone has different palates when it comes to ramen, therefore I would still recommend it as a solid option compared to others in Quebec City!!
Malheureusement je n'ai pas de photos mais j'aurais dû prendre leur spécialité: la soupe Ramen car les entrées selon mon goût étaient fade & sans goût. (Bouillon & échalotes & les nouilles choux & boeufs- très peu de morceaux de boeufs) dumpling aux porc & Crème glacée Shoyu succulent ! J'y reviendrai pour la soupe!

Amazing vibes, definitely a good choice if you're in town wanting warm & cozy service & food. Super friendly staff that welcome you from the door. Ramen down to basics, done right.
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!

The ramen in Canada is often not hot enough, but at this place, it arrived steaming with smoke! It was a surprise! The ramen was authentic Japanese, simple flavor but it tasted very good.
My friend ordered the fried chicken, she said it was delicious!
The staff were very attentive. Even during busy hour, they noticed when guests finished their appetizers before serving the ramen. When our water ran low, they quickly refilled it.
Since I'm a vegetarian, I didn't eat my friend's fried chicken, & the staff noticed that & brought out my ramen first.
I didn't expect such thoughtful service at a ramen shop!
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.
Probablement le restaurant le plus spécialisé en ramen dans la ville de Québec.
J'ai pris la version Shoyu & celle-ci représentait parfaitement bien ce que j'avais mangé au Japon. Un bon équilibre du salé, umami. Je prendrais toujours plus de tranche de chashu!
