Kenzo Ramen Spadina

Great service! The lady who works there is so sweet! I went here with my family and ordered the katsu curry. Sooo flavourful! The miso and side salad was a nice touch too! They have a bubble tea corner as well so you can get drinks ordered to your table!

whenever i feel like there's no hope in my life and everything is going wrong, i go here and get vegetarian orochong ramen with level 2 spice. it's very yummy, loaded up with lots of vegetables, and exactly the amount of spice i can handle. eating it is a visceral experience. sniffling, coughing, etc. fighting for my life. it takes my mind off of all that ails me. the best part is that despite how spicy it is, it miraculously doesn't cause me any stomach problems after. doesn't hurt on the way out. i suspect that may be because i need to drink multiple litres of water alongside the spicy broth though lol... dilutes the capsaisin and washes my worries away.

The food was absolutely delicious — no complaints at all. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, which made us feel very welcome. The only reason I’m not giving a higher rating is because the place gets extremely hot in the summer. It really felt like an oven inside. I’d strongly recommend investing in air conditioning to make the overall customer experience much more comfortable and enjoyable

One of the best fresh ramen dishes I’ve tasted in Toronto so far! It’s rich, and the taste is unique to Kenzo’s restaurants. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and the order arrived at the table in no time. The only downside is that it’s a small space, and there’s sometimes a wait to sit down.

Dined here on New Year’s eve which was super cold and rainy and this warmed us right up. I’ve always been a big fan of Kenzo’s and I’m glad that this location was consistent with the others I’ve been to. Ramen is flavourful and is a good portion size. Shio is a salt-based broth but not salty, just has a nice umami. King of kings ramen is a very big portion and the spice in the soup warms the belly. I’m a fan of the noodle texture here as it’s not too overcooked and I like that they serve bamboo in the ramen as most places don’t do that anymore. We also ordered the pork katsu on the side which was very crispy and not dry at all. The portion for this was also quite generous.

We came to Kenzo Ramen at around mid afternoon on a weekday with no expectations. We were surprised about the fantastic options in the menu. I personally tried the Tonkotsu King and I loved it. However I think the balance of the noodles and everything else is uneven, there was way too many noodles. Regardless I still enjoyed the meal, and will probably try something else to see if the portioning of the other ramens are better. I'm only rating this as 4/5 because the it wasn't a busy time but the server forgot our other order, and we were in a time crunch.

After our favourite ramen spot closed this year, we're so glad to have come across this shoppe!
The food was flavourful and very satisfying, and the portions were generous.
The staff is very pleasant, and were very mindful of our allergies.
The atmosphere is really cozy and relaxed, too. (We could have sat there longer to relax!)
Hope your experience here will be as good as ours was...
