It's not too long ago that Japanese Ramen became all the rave in Toronto's food scene and ramen specialty restaurants were popping up within the city. Last winter, we got a taste of Touhenboku Ramen on Queen St that differentiated themselves by offering chicken broth (read review). We had a great experience there with their various offerings and when the news came that a second location was opening at Yonge & Eglinton, I was more than excited to try it!
The second location features their regular ramen menu (including rice appetizers & dessert) but what makes this location special is that they also feature an Izakaya Menu for dinner.
For my visit at lunch on a weekday, I stuck to the regular menu:
Korokke ($5.50) - crispy potato & cream cakes rolled in panko
Gyoza ($5.50) - fried pork dumpling with dipping sauce
Kara-age Don ($4.50) - fried chicken pieces served on a bed of steaming hot rice with housemade sauce & scallions
Spicy Ramen ($10.50) in sea salt base broth, pork belly & thin noodles - served with special chili oil along with seaweed, boiled egg, kikurage mushrooms and green onion
Millie Crepe ($5.50) - sweetened crepes layered with whipping cream topped with fruit glaze
The restaurant is about the same size as the Queen St. location that seats about 30-35 diners. It's great to have a Ramen place in the Yonge & Eglinton neighbourhood as most Japanese restaurants in the area focus on sushi. For a hearty bowl of Ramen for lunch, head to Touhenboku with your co-workers!
