    I really like the spicy miso Tsukemen! The noodles are thick and chewy. The pork chasu has a charred smoky flavor. The spicy miso dipping broth has a noticeable Yuzu note which I really enjoy. Two things to pay attention to‼️: 1) The noodles are heavy, and the chopsticks they provided are not good at picking them up; 2) The dipping motion can create a little mess. Be careful if you’re in White outfit.

    The owner explained how to eat our Tsukemen with the fish powder and lime, and then wash everything down with a cup of light chicken broth at the end. It’s quite an unique experience.

    My pro tip – Get one of the Mini Dons, save some rice, mix the soft-boiled egg and some of the Tsukemen broth with the rice and enjoy. You are welcome! ☺️

    I got the original Tsukemen and it did not disappoint!

    This place is amazing, possibly the second best Tsukemen I’ve had in North America (the first goes to a famous Tsukemen restaurant in Los Angeles with 1+ hour waits, so that is near impossible to beat). But the fact that I’m reminiscing my Los Angeles days going to that Tsukemen restaurant because this restaurant reminds me of it, is incredible. Very well done! The broth comes with a candle underneath to keep it hot (warning for all parents with littles, you may want to let the server know you want to skip the candle). The broth is thick, rich, and a bit on the sour side for Tsukemen. There’s fish dashi powder if you want to add some. The ajitama is near perfect, it’s soft in the centre but not runny. The toppings are very generous, I felt good paying $21+tax and tip for this. Some ramen restaurants charge just as much for meagre servings and barely any toppings.

    I definitely recommend trying this place, you won’t regret it. Bring your Japanese friends here too, it’s that good.

    Really like the ramen place. All the stalls are nice and friendly. Food portion and quality is great. I especially like the spicy miso Tsukemen as it has rich flavor and not oily at all. The pork rice is also very delicious. The BOGO appetizer is a great deal too.

    New ramen place run by a very sweet couple! Easily one of the best lunch options close to work. Vegetarian ramen was impressively savory and creamy. Shrimp skewers were fresh and crispy. BOGO 50% off for appetizers when you dine in!

    Tsukira Ramen is part of 808 Zone: Same owners / chefs. 808 Zone is the actual venue, and does Omakase 3 nights a week. However DOZO SUSHI shows up on your card statement, so don’t be alarmed, it’s the same place….I know, I know it’s a bit confusing.

    I’m not certain if they are going to turn the rest of the venue into a dedicated Ramen restaurant… They are still experimenting and testing things out. Some very hard working and honest folks. Very friendly and family like atmosphere. They ask for your honest feedback so they can improve.

    #Ramen:
    ~ Blue Fin Tuna BONUS – 4/5 (Sept. 26, 2025)
    A little welcome bonus on this day only for the first 20 guests! No complaints! (ツ)

    ~ TAKOYAKI – 3.5/5
    I’m spoiled when it comes to Takoyaki. One of my fave street snacks in Japan. This was OK for me. The surrounding batter was a bit more dense than I prefer and the Tako pieces were bit lean.

    ~ DELUXE TSUKEMEN – 4/5
    Just a solid bowl of Tsukemen Ramen. The noodles were thick and accompanied with a separate bowl of rich, concentrated dipping broth.
    The bowl comes with a couple of Chashu Pork slices, Ajitama, Menma, and a wedge of lime topped with Green Onions. They also bring you a separate cup with warm soup. Dip and enjoy!

    ~ BLACK GARLIC TONKOTSU RAMEN – 4.5/5 ONE-DAY ONLY Special (Sept. 26, 2025)
    I think they were experimenting with this one. It wasn’t on the menu, but it was part of the promo email that went out earlier in the day. “If you ask us we’ll make it for you” We certainly asked! This was probably one of top 3 Black Garlic broths I ever tasted. DELISH! I do hope they offer this as a regular staple on their menu. Perfectly balanced, not too strong or pungent or salty. The only knock for me; Ajitama could be marinated longer, didn’t have as much flavor.

    I’ll be back!
