New Ramen in Scarborough (North Toronto)

[@IGetFood]

saw a few comments on here about price/value concerns - give Ramen Buta-Nibo a try (over on Danforth, west of Pape). They do Jiro style ramen and it's Japanese run. Price is in the upper teens to low 20s but the portions are pretty solid. Broth is more robust too so if you do prefer things on the low sodium side, this might not be it but if you like bold and porky....Honestly, there really aren't any good ramen spots in the GTA sub $15 anymore. Yes, you can get ramen of the highest quality in Japan for less than $10 CAD but last I checked, a round trip plane ticket is over $1500 so I'd say it takes a little more planning than just "hey what should we have for dinner tonight" LOL

yeah i 100% agree - i think the better ramen spots are mid-town to downtown and not too many great ones up town. - Buta-Nibo is huge - i remember having to share that bowl with a friend lol

There’s a ramen spot in that same plaza Midori Ramen. It’s a creamy chicken based broth.

[@torontofood]

yes they do have a good broth at Midori

That slurp!

[@torontofood]

it only gets better lol

[@peterpan69]

the ramen is too small. I hope it isn't like $15 or I'll need to eat two of them.

[@torontofood]

yeah it was about 15-17? lots of places i think have similar price and portion size - any good ramen recommendation for price and quantity?

[@peterpan69]

@@torontofood i went to the Kenzo on Yonge and Sheppard a lot but it was closed already. It's a franchise store so I think there is another another one in downtown. Other than that I don't know any other stores. That's why I watch videos like yours :)

[@torontofood]

[@cksh4182]

ramen is so damn overpriced in GTA.... and portion is so small... wallet is safe til i visit japan!

[@torontofood]

yes 100% agree - the economy here is pretty bad where every shop has high prices - wheres a good ramen spot which is affordable and good quality/quantity here in toronto?

[@KP-xi4bj]

Ramen in Japan is like $8-9 per bowl. Here is like twice the price. Yeah, no thanks!

[@torontofood]

yes Japan is definitely a place for value - but unfortunately pretty pricey to travel for me - any recommendations for places here in Toronto?

@@torontofood Ajisen Ramen at Midland and Finch, Hana Ramen at Kennedy and Progress/Ellesmere, Kinton Ramen at Progress/William Kitchen. They're all priced similar to Nicoca Ramen unfortunately. And they're all probably run by Chinese owners so authenticity is questionable.
