🇨🇦 Only 2 Jiro-Style Ramen Spots in Toronto – Which One’s Better?

The new 📍Ramen Tabetai opened right under MSSM Yorkville. Michelin-starred Chef Saito is bringing his skills to the masses! This new spot specializes in one thing: Jiro-style ramen 🍜 They only sell 100 bowls a day — open at 11:30 AM and close once sold out! I’m a huge Jiro ramen fan, and my longtime favorite is Toronto’s original: 📍Buta-Nibo Now, 📍Ramen Tabetai becomes the second dedicated Jiro spot in the city — with Michelin-backed hype! I tried both — here’s which one is worth your bowl: 🌟 Wait Time 📍Buta-Nibo: A humble neighborhood spot open from 12 PM. Easy to walk in anytime! 📍Ramen Tabetai: Michelin chef + limited bowls = lines even at opening. (I waited 30 mins in the cold today 😬) 🙌🏻 Buta-Nibo wins! 🌟 Price Value 📍Buta-Nibo: Multiple Jiro flavors. Classic bowl $17.9 🥡 Mega size (for two!) is $32.5 — super filling! 📍Ramen Tabetai: $22.88 per bowl. $10 membership card saves you $5. 🙌🏻 Buta-Nibo wins! 🌟 Variety 📍Buta-Nibo: So many flavors! Curry, black garlic, spicy… 📍Ramen Tabetai: Only original, but you can pay extra to customize. 🙌🏻 Buta-Nibo wins! 🌟 Broth & Toppings 📍Buta-Nibo: Loaded with bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, pork fat paste, giant garlic mound, thick chashu, fried chicken… 📍Ramen Tabetai: One thick tender chashu (maybe aged?), bean sprouts and cabbage. No visible garlic — it’s melted into the 12-hour broth. Light pork oil (not paste) that isn’t greasy. 🙌🏻 Toppings: Buta-Nibo wins! Broth: Ramen Tabetai wins (by a thread!) Final verdict: Next time I’m taking Line 2 to Danforth for Buta-Nibo 🏆 #TorontoFood #JiroRamen
