Stumbled across this ramen on my way back from north. Easy to get to, not too far from the highway. I got the original shoyu and it was good. Can taste the flavours and great toppings. Got Sapporo but it wasnt cold so we had to pour it in a cup with ice. Our servers were nice and friendly. Spacious and got a table quickly. read more

Kamen Ramen - Shoyu original - Ramen Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

This Ramen place is a must try. My family and I are Ramen lovers and it is our mission to go and find the best Ramen place. We decided to try this place and we were not disappointed. The service is top here and the owner of the restaurant is so funny and nice. Great guy to have as our server! We were also able to make modifications to our order with ease which some restaurants don't allow. My only one call out was the food smell in the restaurant was fairly strong since the kitchen is right next to the seating area so all of our clothes smelt like food after we left. Food: - Black Garlic Tonkotsu ramen: 4.5/5 stars. Totally forgot to take a picture of this, but it was really good. I really liked how the Ramen was not oily. The soup base was very yummy. The noodles were cooked to the right texture and the meat was great. Everything was very flavorful! - pork tonkatsu: 5/5 stars. This was the best pork tonkatsu I've ever had. It was fried but not oily and it came with three individual huge slices for only $15. MUST TRY - grilled gyoza: 4/5 stars. I'm not the biggest fan of dumplings so I'm not the best indicator of how good these are but they were very good! definitely will be coming back! read more

The noodles were cooked great - bouncy but easy to chew, unlike some other ramen places where they tend to be a bit too hard. I ordered the Shio Ramen, and the soup was full with umami flavor. The pork pieces were also pretty good; they were mostly lean, which I personally prefer. The Chicken Karaage was decent, the size was quite generous. The service was pleasant, adding to the overall positive experience. The restaurant has plenty of seating space. Overall, it's a good spot for a satisfying ramen fix.

Kamen Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

4.5/5 I have wanted to try Kamen for a really long time and yesterday evening I was able to try their black garlic tonkatsu ramen - level 2 spicy. When it first came out, I was confused why it wasn't spicy... at all! (not trying to flex my spice tolerance). I asked the waiter if there was any spiciness added and she asked if I wanted it spicy, and brought over some chillies. I was a bit confused because she confirmed our level of spiciness and the receipt also reflected level 2 spicy for both our bowls yet they were untouched by any spice. Anyhow, I think the ramen went from 8/10 to 10/10 with the added spice - the broth was so flavourful and tasty. There was 3 pieces of meat with quite a bit of fat but still fever tender and good. I love the black fungus and bok choy they added to the dish. The noodles were so tasty and of great quality and had a nice bounce to it. We also tried their deep fried chicken onigiri and salmon onigiri which were quite disappointing. The rice was quite hot but it was just a-ok, nothing special. The deep fried onigiri was an interesting idea but taste-wise, it just felt quite hard to eat. I will definitely return to try their spicier options such as their volcano ramen! read more

Kamen Ramen - black garlic tonkatsu ramen - Ramen Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

Pretty good. Stopped by for some ramen after shopping at Vaughan Mills. Ordered the Shoyu Ramen (13.95). They have a good amount of ramen options including some dons and katsus. I thought the broth was actually quite nice. It's a soy sauce broth which was clean and not too oily. Came with a good amount of pork and fish cake as well. I typically like cha shu which has been grilled a bit and while this isn't that, it was still pretty good. Noodles were a nice thin, style, cooked well. Decent place with lots of options, good seating, located in a large plaza with tons of parking. read more

Kamen Ramen - Shoyu ramen - Ramen Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

One of the best ramen places to go to in Vaughan. The ramen offered is so delicious that I have people asking me to bring them some for work! Tasty and fiery is what I say. I just had the Fiery seafood ramen and is it delicious! A must go to here in Vaughan and another one in Mississauga. Absolutely fantastic. Service is exemplary and very attentive and friendly. Can't beat it. read more

Didn't try the ramen so can't speak to that, but the onigiri were delicious!! I got one tuna and one salmon and both of them were great. Ordered them to go so didn't have much server interaction, but the workers who took the order were very friendly. read more

Kamen Ramen - Onigiri - Ramen Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

The fact that Kamen's Google review average is 4.7 stars yet their Yelp review average is only 3.9 stars peaked my interest, though I did note that there are many times more reviews on Google. Upon arrival, my curiosity was solved as there was a little posting stating you can get free ice cream for leaving a 5 star Google review. As tempting as this was for me, I always keep my reviews honest, so I plan to do just that. Our table of four came around 7 pm and was seated immediately. The place was about 70% full at the time, with a constant trickle of people coming and going. We sat for a few minutes before being offered menus and water. Another server then came later to take our order after flagging them down with minimal effort. I was impressed that the waiter memorized our orders (i.e. didn't have to write anything down) which is not common practice nowadays. This allowed for a more personable and attentive experience. Not to mention, we ordered four meals with some options (e.g. chicken or pork and spice level, two drinks, alongside one special request (i.e. no bamboo shoots), and accuracy was spot on. Again, for my customization I asked for no bamboo shoots and though an error was ALMOST made (i.e. they brought my ramen to the table but caught the mistake just prior to setting it in front of me, and corrected it immediately), they still rectified the situation before it was even realized by the consumer. I personally ordered the Tonkotsu Shoyu which I found to be lighter than the other ramen orders at my table. Despite this, it was still very flavorful while not being overly salty. I can also say now a couple hours later that I was never thirsty after the fact. There were about three pieces of roast pork which is pretty standard alongside the portions of the other toppings, such as half a ramen egg. I tried the Black Garlic Tonkotsu soup which is one of their popular/recommended items and that was really rich. The Tan Tan Men is also amazing for those who love spice! It was spicy (we got regular), rich, and creamy with a fragrant nutty profile. One of the members at our table ordered their Gyudon, which came with a side salad and miso soup. The sides were good. The Gyudon was flavorful but frankly, too salty. I also found the meat to be "rougher" compared to other places. A bonus I appreciate though was that they ask you if you want your egg raw or cooked - again, making this a very personalized experience. As for the matcha smoothie we ordered, this was the most disappointing of the bunch. The matcha flavor was evident and overall, the drink was not too sweet. However, they should really rename it to be "slushy" as that is what it was. This meant the bottom of the drink got quite icy at the end and lacked flavor. I was hoping for a creamier and smoother beverage. I must applaud the team for their service. It wasn't even a particular employee that wowed me but rather, they were collectively really great. Everyone was friendly and took the time to check up on us regularly. The waiter who took our order was also great about making recommendations such as asking if we wanted an appetizer for the table and later on during the meal, pointed out that they have delicious macaron desserts. Unfortunately we were too full to order them. The restaurant is quite casual and had a good vibe with loud music. This often made it hard to converse but gave a good atmosphere. To glance, the place also looked quite clean. There are little hints and nods to Japanese culture with their decor but this is by no means a very traditional-looking spot. Being located in a large plaza, there are ample free parking spots. read more

Ordered take out because the place was packed. Spot opened up and the owner asked if we wanted to dine in, so we did. Food was tasty, noodles were great. The owner was awesome, service was great. Really enjoyed our experience. read more

Kamen means fire in Japanese or if you are a bit older, you,d be familiar with a Japanese Power Ranger style show called Kamen Rider. In this ramen shop's case, I think they are referring to fire, considering that you can add 'fire' or spice level to any kind of ramen that you order. Stylistically, I find that the ramen is prepared a bit more like a Korean jampong . Their chef would fire up a wok and toss in a bunch of aromatics and then throw the mixture into the soup. I've been there twice and I'd say that ordering miso based ramen are safer bets and adding to the spice level would be the way to go. Overall, I think the spicy miso one was solid. But, the tonkotsu one was disappointing, considering the taste of the soup resembled tonkotsu instant noodle soup packets. Egg wise is a bit inconsistent when it came to how thoroughly the yolk was cooked. Sometimes it's good, and some bowls, it might be slightly overcooked. Char Siu was alright, but perhaps they could have added a bit of sweetness to it. The noodle was pretty generic in nature. Considering Vaughan is lacking ramen options, I think Kamen Ramen may be able to fulfill a layperson's ramen fix. For pickier foodies, you will have to travel further to get your fix. read more

The food is interesting and nice. Service is great. The placei s a typical ramen dine in place.

I came here for dinner yesterday, a Saturday night, and was fairly quickly seated bar-side. The first thing I noticed was that their menu was a lot bigger than your typical ramen joint. I especially liked that for their spicy options, you can choose your level of spice. This was key for me, as I do enjoy spicy flavours, but most of the time have to avoid it because my tolerance isn't high enough. I ended up getting the roasted garlic spicy miso with mild (0.5 spice level). I really enjoyed the flavour of the broth, which was tasty and just what I was hoping for with a garlicky broth. The noodles and toppings were also yummy and a good amount. The one major thing I wasn't a huge fan of is the protein portion. My bowl only contained 2 thin slices of pork, which even for me, wasn't enough. After finishing my bowl I wasn't completely full, though I was satisfied. Ramen places need to up their game from the 2 slice standard.. it isn't enough! Overall, solid ramen place with a good selection, fair pricing (based on competition) and attentive service. If I lived closer, I would definitely add it as a top place when I'm in the mood for ramen. read more

Service was mediocre and so was food. Price was not bad. Noodles are fresh and catsu meat was great but broth was very bland. 5/10

The ramen here is quite good! We ordered take out and everything was fresh and hot. Service was good. The noodles werent how I prefer my ramen noodles, they were a bit plain and al dente, I like mine a bit chewier/spongier, but they were still very good. Im excited to go try more, a very welcome addition to this neighborhood and worth checking out read more

If I could give less than one star I would. My husband and I wanted to try local Ramen beside us. To say I was floored is to say nothing at all. Never have I ever experienced such disgusting thing in restaurant. Upon opening and making the ramen I noticed something floating in my soup. After picking it up with a spoon I noticed it was a bug. Not just a small bug, it had wings and all. We took the soup back to the restaurant, the manager was apologizing furiously however enough damage was done. I would never ever step into that place again. After asking the manager, what are you going to do next in terms of disinfecting or removing people away from the joint. He simply said, I'll take care of it. I highly doubt they will dump the broth away .. clients have no idea that they're eating bug infested soup. Absolutely disgusting Health department will need to come for checkup. read more
