Konjiki Ramen - Toronto

Great broth. noodles were well prepared. eier was a bit overdue. there were no extra spices offered. pork was not as fuss-ima your mouth as I hoped.

The noodles texture is unbelievable. It passes the taste test where you want to shove more and more noodles into your mouth. Until you can't fit more. It has a remarkable chew, but soft and silky.Pork broth is balanced, but if you're looking for a pungent punch to the palate, it may not live up to that style.The Tokyo style lighter broths the clam and shoyu are delightful. The balanced flavors shine through.Tempura has excellent batter flavor and deep fried without greasiness.

We had dinner with Ramen, we ordered two different types and Gyoza for starters. It was all very good. Being too occidental, I had to ask for a fork, but the flavour and texture were excellent.

The last time I was here was pre pandemic and I remembered leaving here super happy and satisfied. Fast forward things haven 't been as consistent and I 'm disappointed, felt like I left dissatisfied. Staff shortage and inflation has definitely made the once enjoyable experiences a now treasured memory. Although I 'm glad the pandemic hasn 't shrink the amount of stores but I definitely prefer the north york one. We went around dinner which was busy, the wait was approx 20-30 mins but no info is taken down so you gotta stick around or risk having your table being taken by those who wait there. The waiting area by the entrance is small with only a few seats in the tiny hall way and the front. Upstairs was closed so downstairs was the only option. It was my sister 's first experience and I was looking forward to eating here as I raved about it quite often. We got the orginal pork shoyu and the intense version of the signature clam. The orginal tastes just like I remember it but the intense signature clam wasn 't as intense as they claim it to be. I didn 't find a difference between the signature clam. I was a little disappointed, we got the karrage to start and I remember it as being juicy, tender, crispy but the first initial bite tasted kinda like KFC. A bit greasy, not as tender and crispy as I recall but the wasabi mayo was delicious as usual. Unfortunately I guess it was just bad timing as there were only two servers. I felt like there was no actual service I had to ask for water unlike back then as soon as you were seated water was brought to the table regardless if you were to order extra drinks. When the karrage arrived we didn 't have any cutlery, I tried to ask but our server but I guess he didn 't hear and quickly left to service other tables. I wasn 't gonna eat with my hands so waiting to flag someone down was difficult. When we finally did, one of them quickly apologized which was fine, by then I was pretty hangry. Getting the bill was even harder, we sat close to the entrance but aside from never coming once to do a quality test, flagging someone down was hard. When we did I was pretty much over this place and just wanted to quickly get out. There was no engagement whatsoever, felt like tipping was unnecessary but oh well times are tough and I get it.

Super flavorful ramen. One overachieving server who took care of the whole place as good as 3 typical servers.
