Miso. Lively Tokyo-style room, in Old Toronto · 4,495 reviews on Google
The house stands out for vegetarian and vegan options that are rare among ramen-yas, plus a well-rated tsukemen. Service, however, is inconsistent — several reports of a rushed or inattentive staff on busy days.
The highlight
The Red Dragon, a spicy miso ramen, is repeatedly hailed as one of the city's best, with a rich, complex broth.

Comments inspired by 4,495 reviews
-
The broth has this perfect rich, spicy depth without overpowering the rest of the bowl, and the noodles have an amazing bite.
-
It comes loaded — pork and chicken chashu, bean sprouts, bamboo, seaweed, scallions, egg.
-
One of the best vegan ramens in the GTA.
-
The vibe inside is cozy, loud and energetic — exactly what you'd expect from a bustling Tokyo noodle bar.
