[JAPANESE] Kinton Ramen

Kinton Ramen has been listed as one of the 2012 Best New Restaurants in Toronto by BlogTo. It is located on Baldwin Street and 5 minutes walk from Spadina. The restaurant is quite small and there is a long seating area along the bar. The interior is very modernized and bright. Also, there are group tables at the front and back of the restaurant. However, it is better to arrive before lunch and dinner hours as there are usually long line ups and they do not take reservations. Their chefs and waitresses are very energetic and welcoming towards customers.

[JAPANESE] Sentouka Ramen

Sentouka Ramen is located around 3 minutes walk from Eaton Centre. It is pretty famous in Japan and they have numerous locations around the world.The restaurant is very modernized and you can see the chefs cooking if you sit at the counter near the front. However, the restaurant is quite small and gets really crowded with long lines during rush hour. A recommendation is to arrive 30 minutes before rush hour (before 5 PM). Their menu includes single bowls and combos. 


Shoyu Ramen - The soup base is made of pork broth and soy sauce. Very tasty and the pork belly was cooked just right. However, the portion was quite small.
