Musoshin Ramen

Small and good ramen restaurant closed to High Park Area. Ramen is very chewy. The soup base is thick and hot. It's nothing better to have a hot ramen in cold weather. Getting the parking is difficult.

Solid ramen, especially with the vegan broth option, which can be hard to find in the city. The broth is very flavourful, and the noodles were springy. The wait isn't too long once you place your order. Be prepared to wait for seats in the winter as half of their seating is outdoors (and unavailable).

I was in the area and was looking for a bite to eat then came across this ramen spot online. It came to my surprise that I found out this spot was featured on the Toronto Michelin guide. I went with their classic ramen as it seems to be the popular option. The portions were a bit small but the quality was amazing. The broth was light but still flavourful without feeling heavy like the usual tonkotsu broth. Downside the space is a bit small so if you’re planning to go with a group probably best to call ahead to get a seat or come during off peak hours. However, it’s a great spot for solo or pairs as they were more seating options.

When I saw it had a Michelin star, I thought the ramen would be amazing. It was good, but I don’t think Michelin star level. The pork belly was not melt in your mouth soft like I expected…it was tough. The broth was tasty and texture is the noodles was good though. I think it was the pork belly that brought it down a star. Also had a cheesecake…tasted like laughing cow cheese with jam…my kid liked it, but I don’t think that is worth the price.

Man, Musoshin is tough for me to review. Don’t get me wrong, it is good; the servers are all polite and attentive, the restaurant dynamic is charming with the staff having fun among themselves lightening up the mood, and the ramen is also good. So why is it tough for me to review? Well, it’s because for once I cannot see the vision of my Michelin reviewer overlords. Like I said, I like Musoshin, they had great ramen, the problem is that every ramen is great ramen, so what makes this one Michelin recommended? To be honest, I don’t know. But hey, I am just me, a less than amateur food reviewer and at end of the day I had a good time at Musoshin. Thus, I recommend coming here if you want good ramen.

We came on a Friday evening to Musoshin Ramen as a party of two to celebrate my friend's birthday. The service was fantastic. As soon as we sat down, we were served water. When we checked out the menu, we found the dishes we wanted to eat and had some questions before ordering. The waiter was knowledgeable and answered our questions and took our order. The food came out promptly, and it was so delicious! Both the meat-based and vegan broths were so delicious, and the noodles were chewy. The meats were grilled beautifully and with the special you get all 3 kinds: beef, chicken and pork which is really nice. The one thing both my friend and I appreciated was that the food came out hot, but not boiling hot to the point where we couldn't enjoy it right away. We got another vegan broth to go when leaving because my other friend, after hearing about how good it is, asked us to bring her food. The atmosphere was great, too. They had Japanese music playing in the background soft enough that you could hold a conversation with no problems. I can definitely see why this restaurant has been on the Michelin guide for the last 3 years.

Top ramen spots I’ve ever been to in the city. Amazing staff, owner, and atmosphere. Fresh ingredients that made me want to come back. I got their vegan ramen plus beef and egg, and vegan strawberry mochi with red bean. They were great with allergies, if you’re allergic to almonds just know their curry dishes do have almond milk, but ask the server for their allergy matrix to look at all their common allergens :)

Drove An hour n Toronto traffic to come here. Tucked away in a one way street. Uniquely authentic ramen house from Kyoto, Japan. Even staff are true Japanese, not yet well versed in English. I order the mild 🌶️ spicy ramen with beef tenderloin, taste rich, and noodles are bouncy soft not overcooked. I can tell that kitchen staff at the open kitchen are really into their craft. Tonkatsu is overdone a bit, crunchy little burnt. I ned to down the bits with water. You can order extra broth for 2 bucks, eggs 2 bucks, and noodles 2 bucks. I thoroughly enjoyed the taste. Friendly staff provided a welcoming vibe. Parking is free in front of store. Dangerous challenging stairs to the washrooms in the basement. We are lucky to have so many authentic ramen chains opening in Toronto. Kudos to the chef and staff.
