Ryus Noodle Bar

Stopped at Ryus Noodle bar for lunch on a weekday. It was our first time with the place and our waiter was very helpful. We tried the classic shoyu with hot flavor and the vegetarian version of shoyu. The classic shoyu was excellent , the vegetarian was alright. If you are looking for a rich taste/flavor I would recommend going for creamy noodles here. The pork gyoza was definitely yummy.

The rich shiyo ramen broth had a thicker viscosity, was rich and had a lot of depth of flavour! The toppings were top notch. Their noodles seem to be made in house, and are speckled which makes it look like multigrain! The vegetable shoyu ramen was not as good… broth is no comparison to the other rich shiyo ramen broth I tried. A decent alternative for those who are vegetarian though. Gyoza was standard. You have the option to get 6, 8, or 10. I must also mention that the water tasted very crisp and refreshing. It must’ve been filtered or something, because it was not your standard Toronto tap water.

This is one of my favourite places to go for Ramen in the city. It's a smaller place, so the wait might be long, but totally worth it! The staff are friendly and welcoming, the service was also pretty good. The portions are fairly large but can easily be eaten in one sitting ;)

Delicious. The rich shio noodles were so good. The broth was thick and flavourful. Tried the chicken gizzards too and was surprised by how much I liked them, a little nice chewy texture.

Ryu's completely changed my opinion on ramen! Within Nov 2021 and Jan 2022 I've eaten here 5 times. The broth is so flavourful and the miso broth is thick! Spicy miso packs heat but it's doable. They give you a stamp card when you visit and a coupon card with a discount and free topping. Service is so nice too! Can't wait to come back soon (:

So excited to try the Valentine’s Day TastingMenu . A five Course tasting which included Wagyu Beef from Australia. We got to compare Tenderloin and Rib Eye prepared medium rare by owner and chef Roy. I’ve been here before for their amazing ramen. So to come for this five course dinner which included palate cleansers was quite the experience. Everything was beautifully plated and very delicious. I enjoyed unique combination of flavours …. lemon pepper sardines in oil prepared in house with soy miso sous vide chicken gizzards. A chicken liver pate so creamy smooth with a caramelized brûlée top and Italian Burrata with sous vide pork. And of course Shio Ramen for me. And notice the pretty handcrafted ceramic plates from Japan? Ended the evening with Shiratama Japanese Rice Cake served with ice cream and Kinako Soy bean and Canadian Maple Syrup. I love mochi so this was heavenly! I highly recommend you try this place. For more food adventures, follow me on Instagram @hungry.jo

Ramen | LLBO | Chicken broth Covid protocols are on place. Currently dine in capacity at about 20 people. Yelp waitlist is highly encouraged. Back again since I've tried it a few years ago. Still great flavours and service! "Hot wine" I assumed since it's near Christmas this would be like mulled wine. It came with a cinnamon stick however the flavours of the other ingredients of a mulled wine was lacking. Not very fragrant. Gyoza (pork) Delicious but the bottom could be a bit more burnt and crispier. Angus Roast Beef Ramen (Shio) Thick and creamy soup full of flavor. The roast beef was good, served with truffle oil. Doesn't come with egg or seaweed but it does come with some snow fungus which was interesting. Niboshi Ramen (anchovies clear broth, limited time) Lovely fishy broth. The pork slices were tender but I prefer the roasted style better. Also doesn't come with egg but there is one piece of seaweed. Overall still a great experience, will definitely come back.

Always busy, always worth the wait for the quality of ramen! The service is consistently great and they recently opened their hidden back patio as well. Definitely stopping by again and again! Great addition to the Broadview area. This location is very small and and well packed but they have really great clear dividers to keep up with COVID protocols. They have the tables facing outside to Broadview station (which comes with a call button for your convenience). They also have tables of pairs and can merge tables to fit larger crowds. Groups of 2, 4 or 6 tops would be optimal for coming here. They also do have the bar seating as well for individuals. Been coming here since Mar 2018 and the quality has not decreased nor the service for customers. We always stop by to make a pitstop at Ryus Noodle Bar especially when going to Danforth Music Hall. We order the usual of Miso Ramen and the Shoyu Ramen. From day one, the quality and presentation of both ramen have been consistently great and very delicious. It's great that they offer combo options like adding on gyozas or salad or even two toppings to appeal to those that want more. We've also tried the Veg Miso Potage Ramen which is vegetarian and feels like a blended vegetables to create the thick soup broth texture. Fun fact: This famous ramen place has gone through rigorous judging to be awarded a space in the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum in Yokohama, Japan (available to only two ramen restaurants not from Japan). The bowl that won them the spot was the Chicken Shio (Salt-Broth) Ramen which is a fusion of the Ontario chicken and traditional Japanese ingredients.
