Ramen Buta-Nibo

We ended up in Greektown and we were starving. It was cold and we decided ramen would be good to warm up. We literally found this place on google and it was close. We made a good choice. First, the bowl is huge! Just filled with goodness. We got an original ramen and a spicy ramen. All the other things we just asked for regular since we had no idea. The vegetables were excellent to cut through the richness of the broth. The seasoned fat and pork belly were well seasoned and so tasty. We felt it was just the right amount of salt. We could really only eat about half the bowl before tapping out! Our servers were wonderful and super patient explaining the complex ingredients to us. We would definitely recommend this place and will go back if we find ourselves in Greektown in the future!

Awesome place, I ate the Mega. If I were to order again I would take less bean sprouts and less garlic paste which ended up being the dominant flavour unfortunately. Would have liked the Japanese pop music like they play at Ryu's. All in all I would definitely go back.

Very delicious ramen with lots of toppings like a heap of garlic, mountain of bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, and a bit of cabbage tucked underneath. Thick broth and noodles are the way to go. Tecommend the black garlic ramen but I'm sure they're all tasty. The chicken karage was so tender yet crispy too. Great find on the Danforth

Hankering for ramen, 🍜 decided to check it out — chose “Ajitama Spicy Ramen” — first impression — size of the meal & bowl. The spicy broth was rich & flavourful, both chopped pork & cha shu good flavour & texture as well. It was Happy Hour, so the Sapporo was just $5.99. Overall, great place, definite repeat and can’t wait until it’s cooler temp outside to really appreciate them. Repeat.

Wow. What a Great stumble. We felt like fried chicken and miso. I saw this place on the Danforth before and wanted to give A try! The chicken is beyond amazing. Four pieces is enough for one person. We shared them as an appetizer. The dipping sauce is so good. Very tasty! The ramen is beyond delicious. Our attendant Mio was lovely. Highly recommend. ***The pictures don't do it justice.

Really fantastic experience here. I’ve had a lot of ramen but never ramen like this. It is really special and worth giving a try—the broth is very rich and topped with a big helping garlic paste! Will come back for sure.

Really loved the variety of their food options. I only tried their Ajitama Black Garlic Ramen but I would definitely come back to try their other ramen options. The ramen bowl portions are MASSIVE, so make sure to come hungry or be prepared to take home the rest. I came hungry so was able to finish my whole bowl and it was great. The broth is rich and full of garlic flavor, the meats were tender, and the noodles are the perfect texture. My only con is the amount of bean sprouts they put in the bowl. I felt like I had to dig through a mountain of it just to get to the noodles and broth. M We also ordered takoyaki, gyoza, and edamame for our sides (since those are staple) and they tasted great. Servers and workers were really efficient and very friendly. The facility looks good with a balanced modern and traditional aspects of japanese designs. Washrooms are available downstairs and really enjoyed seeing a beer keg recycled and reused as a urinal and sink, I think that was a creative addition.

The mega bowl is the size of two servings! The noodles and broth are delicious but the toppings make it difficult to get to them! We were filling up on bean sprouts and were quite full by the time we reached the noodles. The spice level on the ajitama spicy was perfect. The heat elevated the broth flavour without being overwhelming. Convenient ordering system where you order via QR code.
