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.

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.
The spicy red miso has a tang and a little sweetness underneath that I didn't see coming.
Roasted garlic shoyu with real garlic in the broth.
We're vegetarian, got two different vegetarian ramens and halfway through I mixed them together. Even better.
I'm sensitive to spice so I got the Red Dragon with the heat on the side. Worked out great for me.
I like the tsukemen, with the thick, piping hot broth on the side for dipping the noodles.
This karaage tasted a bit like chicken pakora to me, and that's a compliment.
