Kenzo Ramen Bloor

I got the tonkatzu don for takeout. There was so little rice and the tonkatzu was so dried out. Not worth the money

Awesome little ramen place. I love to come here after catching a film at Bloor Theatre.
Although this restaurant is small, it has a lot to offer. The ambience is great whether you’re there on a date, with friends, or for business. The service is friendly and fast. The menu is on the simplistic side which is good on the tradition and efficiency side, but bad on the I’ve already tried everything on the menu side and wanna try something new (cough cough me). Prices are decent, not cheap, but not expensive either.
Overall, a great place to eat.

I walk by this place all the time, and it’s unfortunate that they don’t advertise that they have vegetarians option in their window display.
The vegetarian ramen was a deal breaker for me. I am already thinking about when to go again. The service is extremely fast, just the way ramen should be.

Not all Kenzo Ramen restaurants are the same. This is the best of all I’ve been to (the worse is on Queen West of Bathurst) while some are below average (such as the on Yonge and Sheppard).
The texture of their noodles (although I’ve had better), this of all the Kenzo’s I’ve been to is the best. Their soup base and garnishing are so superior to other locations.
You can give out the ingredients. You can even give out the recipe. But you cannot teach a mediocre cook how to be a great chef.

I went around 6pm on a weekday, I got seated instantly and ordered right away. I got a Sho-​Yu Ramen for a bit over $ 10. The broth was insanely good, the noodles average and the toppings very scarce (two tiny pieces of fatty pork). It tasted good but not entirely worth it if you’re going for the noodles or toppings.
— Might go again.

This was my 2^nd time trying ramen at Kenzo in Toronto. This location is small but cozy. When we walked in we got a table right away and were given menu and water. I ordered the miso ramen with chicken and my friend had the yakisoba.
The service was fast and the waiter friendly. For the price the food is a great quality, the ramen was good and broth delicious. This is my favorite ramen outside of Japan will return!

This restaurant is my favorite Ramen place in all of Toronto. The prices are great for really good Ramen and it’s never too busy. The staff are always very welcoming and the atmosphere is outstanding. Noodles (thick or thin) are delicious and cooked perfectly in the flavourful broth of your choice. You can make your dish as spicy or mild as you desire. You can also pack your food to go as the dishes are almost enough for 3 people. The food comes very quickly and the servers are always organized. This place is great and I defenintly recommend.

As my first-​ever real ramen place, this restaurant exceeded my expectations and then some. You’re greeted very attentively and genuinely with «Irasshaimase!» (Welcome!) to get you into the good vibes of the place.
The waitstaff was friendly and helpful, allowing me to substitute the pork for chicken in the King Ramen, even with English speakers, such as myself. I ordered the matcha green iced tea (thinner, natural, light flavor), whereas my friend ordered the latté (more foamy, thicker, stronger). The food was filling and the soup was just spicy enough to love our drink options quite thoroughly.
This place will get a lot of business, and I look forward to going there more often with the great prices for the amount of food you get !!

This is my comfort food in Winters. Go there on a freezing night and I promise the food will warm you up. The Flavours are distinct and appeal to my tastebuds. It is very satisfying and good value for money.

Definitely a decent spot. I got the orochong ramen and the medium broth had me tearing up from spiciness! There was lots of chicken, green peppers red peppers and mushrooms in the soup. For 8.50 it wasn’t mind bogglingly good but it definitely hit the spot. The service is extremely attentive and polite. Never had to worry about whether or not they’d notice that my water was empty (big deal to me because it was so spicy) and the bill came very quickly after we finished. Ramen isn’t my favourite dish on the planet but I can’t deny that Kenzo offers good bang for your buck in the category.

Tried most of their ramen because we usually order here for lunch at work when we’re in the mood and I love all of their ramen especially king of kings. I am not a big eater but I can definitely finish the entire bowl of ramen. Their matcha smoothie is not exactly how I want it to be though but nevertheless, it’s still one of the best ramens in toronto.

Kenzo is one of my fav chain food places. Quality is consistent from one to an another place. This location similarly had fantastic Netsu Ramen, the gyoza as always is top notch. I will admit I had the chance to sample some veg options, I must say the fried tofu and creamy ramen veg was actually pretty good! Oh and the Macha Latte was absolutely amazing!
No point adding more images to the exact same ones that are here already! But it looked just as good as it tasted. Great service and super friendly staff!

Lets start with the good:
My friend and I received quick and friendly service even when there was only 1 waitress servicing the entire dining room (it started to fill up quite quickly around lunch time). The location is also very convenient; only a hop and skip away from Spadina subway. Portion sizes are generous, and the price is relatively low, especially when compared to other ramen joints around Toronto; I had the miso ramen ($ 7.95) and struggled to finish it.
The bad:
The miso broth was weak; the depth in flavour wasn’t there, and the broth itself was substantially less thick and rich than other places. The toppings that came with the dish were scarce; 2 small pieces of pork (shoulder) and a few thin slices of bamboo were all I could see.

Kenzo Ramen is a small restaurant that seats about 30. Most tables are for 2 people (although they do have accommodation for larger groups). There is a bit of Japanese décor on the walls and the tables are metal but provide decent seating. There are usually a small number of staff on hand but the restaurant always runs quickly and smoothly, even when it is packed to the brim with a line out the front door.
I ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen ($ 10.95) when I was there last Sunday. The other time I visited I got the same but with double toppings (an extra $ 3 charge). Neither the noodles nor the garnish/​toppings were anything special– more or less standard ramen noodles.
The broth was excellent. It was a creamy sweet and slightly salty pork bone broth. I usually don’t finish the broth when I go out for ramen but this was certainly an exception.
The service is impeccably fast. I got my food and drink (matcha iced latte, $ 3.95) within four minutes of ordering each.
Kenzo lacks in its small variety of menu options, coupled with OK noodles and expensive matcha drinks. What you gain in fast service you lose in menu options and quality.

This places is definitely worth going to, at least once. The staff were super nice, the food was prepared very quickly and it was tasty; the portions are very filling and you do definitely get your money’s worth.
In my opinion, there are other ramen places that do have better tasting food for the same price. Also, there are somewhat limited options to choose from, but they do offer vegetarian options, which makes it ideal when you’re going with a larger group of friends. (:

Have tried a couple different ramen places and the taste here does not disappoint. Came here with a group of 12 and the staff were very accommodating of us and moved some tables and chairs around to sit us. It’s pretty comfortable here and their food presentation is pretty good. Only down side is I wish they had a bigger selection on their food menu!
I got the sho-​yo ramen here.

Friendly staff and the broths for the ramen are delicious! Service was also quick. The only complaint that I have is that they should have more variety on their menu. Will definitely come back again in the near future.

Your average, rather small ramen store. A fairly good selection of ramen and smaller appetizer dishes. Beware of the spice levels — they get spicy very, very quickly! They were accommodating and didn’t put on any of the greens I had asked them not to.
The soup/​ramen tended to be more salty than I would have preferred but portions were fairly big! The ramen tended to be a bit stickier and the soup was thicker than usual, but overall — ok.
A plus with their take-​out, they give you 2 separate bowls for ramen — one with the ramen and toppings, the other with the soup! A nice touch, considering the ramen would get drenched and soggy later on. But be careful — their take-​out is slow (about 15 minutes) and not the best option, if you’re in a hurry!

In the Annex. Let’s try ramen! Kenzo is a cute cozy space that holds approx 30 noodlers. Tofu nuggets, to start were light crispy pillows of heaven. Nagasaki champon was a delicious broth with al dente ramen noodles, 3 plump juicy shrimp, snippets of squid, and two New Zealand mussels. The bowl is deceptively small looking but a very generous portion of goodness. Definitely coming back for more!!! Rah rah for ramen!

3.5 stars and rounded up. I was craving some ramen today and noticed that many of the other places with higher Unilocal reviews don’t offer vegetarian options and/​or are farther from the subway.
I ended up ordering the vegetarian version of the Ji Su Men (A soy sauce base soup combined with eggs and sesame oil. Mixed with stir fried vegetables.) I found the portion size to be very large and the meal really quite satisfying. I wish I could of had some tofu in there, but my waitress said that unfortunately they could not add any to my dish.
I also ordered a hot green tea for $ 1 that was served way too hot and with the tea bag still in the cup. It was too hot to drink during the meal (or even to touch the cup), but I was able to enjoy it after I finished eating once the tea had cooled down to a more reasonable temperature.
The prices are also affordable and the service is friendly and efficient. Would recommend if you are already in the area and looking for some ramen.
