Ramen x Remix Ramen&Bar — Restaurant in Toronto

Having tried 20+ ramen restaurants in Toronto, and several in Tokyo, I can safely say this is THE best ramen joint in Toronto and can hold its own against some of the more modern ramen restaurants in Tokyo. So much so that I'm not even going to try the next few places on my list, in favour of coming back here and trying some of their other signature ramens. The yuzu scallop shio consomme looks like an absolute piece of art.

The ramen components are exceptionally prepared, and come together beautifully in a perfect bowl of soup, noodles, and toppings. Everything is prepared in house, and it really comes across in both taste and presentation. It is a beautiful bowl they embodies what ramen should be. For the price is barely more expensive than Kinton Ramen, which really goes to show how accessible this is.

Their signature broths are delicious; flavourful and full of umami. We had both the yuzu scallop shio paitan and the truffle shoyu consomme. Shoyu is my favourite ramen base, and this broth was so addicting. The yuzu scallop base is a tonkatsu broth but the citrus really helped cut through the richness, allowing you to slurp down the entire bowl without it feeling too heavy.

Noodle quality is very good; perfectly springy and chewy, making it a satisfying slurp. They also give you a free refill of a half bowl of noodles; not customary at all and very appreciated.

The chasu was also delicious; they provided both chicken and pork. Unlike other cuts of chasu, these slices were the perfect portion size. Not too thick, and overly fatty.

For appetizers, we had both the scallop sashimi, and guytan. Scallops were so fresh and the gyutan was perfectly grilled for thag beefy taste.

We also had the seasonal Curacao drink, and it was aesthetic and delicious. It came with gummy goldfish, which added both a interesting look and great citrus flavour.

For dessert, we had their almond tofu. It tasted almost like vanilla bean ice cream. Sooo creamy and not overly sweet. Perfect way...

Do Not Make Reservations After 11 PM + DO NOT RECOMMEND the Wild Mushroom Creamy Mazesoba – Frustrating Experience

Food: I DO NOT RECOMMEND the Wild Mushroom Creamy Mazesoba. It is waaaaaaaaay too salty and oily. Considering the fact that the waiter didn’t add more water, I couldn’t even finish it—it was just too overwhelming, especially near the bottom where it got extra greasy. Seriously, way too heavy.

Service: We booked a reservation through Google (Yelp) for April 18, 2025 at 11:15 PM and received a CONFIRMATION via both text and email. When we arrived at 11:18 PM, a waiter told us they were closed. We let him know we had a reservation, and he asked for the time. After showing him the CONFIRMATION, he said, “Oh, something’s wrong with our system—we didn’t receive it.” The tone came off a bit defensive, and he mentioned at the end that we shouldn’t make reservations after 11 PM (we actually placed the reservation at exactly 10:58 PM). Nothing against him personally, but if that’s the case, it would’ve been helpful to have that configured into the system earlier so guests aren’t misled.

I also ordered the Gyutan, and the waiter repeated back, “One Gyutan,” but somehow we ended up getting Gyoza instead. Okay, I get that the pronunciation is kind of similar, but since he repeated the order back to me, I was super confused how that mix-up still happened. He did take it off the bill—which is the only reason this isn’t a zero-star review for service.

We were offered water at the beginning, but the waiter never came back to refill or add more after we finished it—which really mattered, especially with how salty the food was.

One small detail—on the day we visited, the chopsticks at every table were placed vertically, which felt off. It’s something you rarely see at Japanese places, especially considering the cultural significance around chopstick placement.

Honestly, this is the kind of review I never expected to write about a...

First off, I found this ramen place online and I was intrigued by the quality of the website. I know that seeing a great website does not translate to experiencing great food.

Once I saw the ingredients like the sushi grade scallops, I had to try this location.

The decor of the restaurant matched the quality of the website. Now, for the food. I ordered their signature ramen.

Signature Yuzu Scallop Shio consommé.

First, when the server brought the ramen it looked just like it was straight out of the website. The noodles were arranged all aligned in a row and neatly placed on one side of the bowl.

What also surprised me was the ladle was not your typical plastic one but this one was made of ceramic and heavy. It’s the same as when you enjoy a great steak dinner using real silverware compared to a plastic knife and fork.

The broth was a real joy to experience. The chicken and seafood broth was very light, full of flavour and not oily at all. Yes, I did see oil in the broth but the oil was tasty and light.

The ramen came with a sushi grade scallop, pork and chicken cha shu, two shrimp and pork dumplings, clam, menma, chopped onions, thinly sliced green onion strips, and thin crispy strips on top.

I would say this is the best ramen I have had all year hands down. The quality ingredients and attention to detail is top notch.

Ramen Remix will certainly be one of the first locations I will return to for an update review.

I also enjoyed the tako wasabi. The seaweed this dish came with was dark green and not your typical black seaweed. Dark green is usually higher in quality. The seaweed was tasty and very crispy.

Ramen Remix is a great spot to check out if you are looking for great atmosphere, large selection of appetizers, a great selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks besides the main...
