This restaurant has been on my list to check out and I finally had the chance to visit on a Sunday afternoon. MeNami has a rustic feel to it - loved the cute furniture and decor! We ordered the tapas tonkatsu as an appetizer and for our mains we opted for the salmon cream sauce udon and the spicy tsuke udon with shrimp tempura. Personally, would not order the tonkatsu again as I found it quite dry but the udons were delicious - the noodles were bouncy. The spicy tsuke udon was so refreshing on a hot summer day - perfect way to satisfy your udon cravings without getting the broth. Service was also excellent - water was always filled to the rim! Will definitely visit again! read more

MeNami - Spicy tsuke udon with shrimp tempura, salmon cream sauce udon and tapas tonkatsu. - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Cute restaurant at Finch and Yonge! If you like ramen or noodle dishes I recommended you come here. Tried the corn appetizer - delicious with the mayo. Had the seafood udon and the salmon noodle dish! Both really creamy and had different flavours mine was teriyaki flavoured and my friends was like an alfredo salmon udon. Recommended if you want to try something different read more

To start, staff is friendly and willing to help you without hesitation: from adding a menu item to your meal to informing you whats the best way to enjoy your meal to changing tables, the staff is right on their heels to help. App: my favourite is the corn kaki-age, deep fried corn accompanied by a rich and creamy honey butter sauce. It really cant go wrong. I would also recommend the grilled pork belly. They use a wide array of spices that pairs well with the pork. The salad and onions that come with the dish adds extra texture and balances the flavours of the spices. Entree: first off, their udon is well cooked in my opinion. If feeling for something refreshing, go for their cold noodles. If looking for something creamy, the salmon roe cream udon or the seafood baked udon is a good choice. I must warn you though, even if there's nice jumbo shrimp and scallops in the bake, the dish can get very heavy. The spicy pork stew is pretty good as well; a good kick to your throat but still manageable. A con to me: their braised short ribs for two is a bit pricey, but the dish itself is quite nice. Overall, great place to go! read more

Really enjoyed Valentines dinner at MeNami. Such a cool looking space and the front doors are stunning. Normally I would describe it as cozy, except for the cold air blowing out of the vent above my head and the one beside my feet. Brrrr! Service was excellent and I am glad that we ended up with a table on the outer rim. There was a good sized ledge for coats and purses and it was just more spacious. We really enjoyed our food for the most part, including the cold udon noodles, jumbo prawns (my favourite and the corn fritters. The deep fried pork belly was my least favourite as there was a thick layer of cumin on it - too much for me. Wine and Sapporo draft rounded out the meal. We found it to be quite fairly priced too. Definitely a repeat for another date night. read more

Back for more!! This time around I went back to menami for dinner time. Wednesday at around 6pm. Place was already pretty busy, they had about 4 tables seated already, in a place that's not that large. By 6:30 it was almost at full capacity. I can imagine this place getting much busier in the summer (they do have a patio). Anyway, probabaly best to make a reservation if you can. This is one of the several (might I say few) trendy places to eat in the Yonge and Finch area. They specialize in Japanese Udon (would like to say fusion but "fusion" is so cliche). You can get dishes like creamy potato Udon (looks kind of cool, wonder how it tastes), Salmon very Udon (an Alfredo sauce udon with Salmon fillet on top) I'd day this is the best value, Sefood udon, spicy udon (for those cold days), and then more. The corn fritters are pretty popular, but I personally don't like them that much, but almost every other table got them. I'm more into the tako Wasa (octopus) as a snack. I also appreciate that they served Kronenberg, which is a plus. The restaurant is on the louder side, so it's not much of a place to have a deep and insightful conversation. But I'f you're looking for for a chill place to hang with some decent music, and good food. I'd recommend it! read more

MeNami is always a go to whenever you want noodles, but also tapas on the side to share with a friend I usually always steer towards the Corn Kakiage (highly recommended btw) it's crunchy and light, Also the honey Mayo is to die for. BUT, I decided to go against the mainstream and try their torched Saba (mackerel ) It's pretty good, portions are a tad smaller than I expected but price isn't bad. But if you aren't the biggest fan of more acidic foods (lemon/vinegar) you might wanna try a different dish We also got the Fried Ika (squid) sooo gooddddd. The batter is light and airy, and the squid tasted fresh. I loved the teriyaki-ish sauce that came with it Udon-wise we did the Yakiniku Udon, thin pieces of beef that is sweet-savoury with mushrooms and light broth (seafood based btw). It's delish and hearty, but maybe a lil too salty for my friend and I so I'd order extra noodles next time read more

If Japanese cuisine and Spanish cuisine had a baby, they would name it MeNami. Cool concept. Retaurant is small but had just enough tables to accommodate a hungry crowd. Modern decor although the concept was confusing...Canadian?! Influencer-type of crowd dine here. Wait staff was friendly and courteous. Would come back for sure. read more

The placed was jammed packed on a Tuesday night so I highly recommend booking reservations! The atmosphere was trendy and loud, the service was very hospitable as the owner came up to our table for a quick chat at the end of our meal. We ordered the Fresh Fried Ika ($8.00). It came out piping hot and was very delicious!! Oven Baked Udon ($15.00) This was creamy, cheesy and really tasty. I highly recommend trying this dish! Potato Cream Curry Udon ($13.00) Curry udon topped with mashed potatoes. The curry was a bit watered down but overall tasty. The contrast of warm udon at the bottom topped with cold mashed potatoes was quite odd to me. read more

Been here a few times. Food is ok but the environment is neat. However, the short Asian hostess needs to review her job description and learn a bit more about customer service. Starting to question if I got permission to move some patio tables and giving me and my friends attitude is not acceptable. She continued to escalate the situation when I confronted her and she obviously chose to put up a fight. This nice lady came out after and told me it's her last day. Let's hope it's true because I am staying away from this restaurant if I see that hostess working. read more

This place is conveniently located on Yonge and Finch. Although there's no free parking in the area, its great to come on the weekends because Finch station has free parking on the weekends. There's so many great food places around this area but I'm so glad I chose Menami as our food spot this weekend. You can't really miss this place with its vintage exterior and a big lit up Menami sign. The interior decor was everything you would expect from it's appearance. It had a vintage rustic vibe and it's decorated perfectly for a night time chill spot. (Has a mini bar area too!) The food and staff were amazing! They were nice and tentative, refilled our waters often and made sure everything was ok. We got the Tako Wasa (Raw octopus), Beef Tataki, Chicken Karage, Salmon Tartare, and the Cream Sauce Salmon Udon. I have no complaints, everything was savoury and delicious! It can be slightly pricey compared to the sizing of each dish but it's worth it. Can't wait to come back and try out other items. I definitely recommend this place, you won't regret it! read more

First off, let's start by saying that their bowls of udon were delicious. No doubt about that. My hands-down favourite is the Potato Cream Curry Udon. I honestly can't explain why it's so good aha. The mixture of the potato cream sauce and the curry sauce is just... unexplainably delicious LOL 10/10 would recommended for y'all to go try!! But keep in mind: the flavours of the bowls are a bit heavy. It would be best to split a bowl of udon between two people, and get an appetizer to share. I will definitely be back to see what else they have to offer (or I might honestly just keep ordering the Potato Cream Curry Udon lol). read more

MeNami - potato cream curry udon & spicy pork udon. - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Came here for lunch on a Sunday for lunch and got a table right away. They also have a patio so you can sit inside or out. We decided to eat inside as it was very hot out. The first time I ate here a few years back, I ate the salmon cream udon. This time around I remembered how delicious it was and decided to order it again as well as a spicy cold udon with shrimp tempura. The salmon cream udon was just as delicious as I remember. The dish was very creamy and the salmon was cooked nicely. Can't believe it took me this long to come back. Will definitely come back.. sooner this time. read more

MeNami - Cold udon, salmon cream udon and Katsu! - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

In the words of my sister in law, she wanted to "outsource" ideas for where to celebrate her upcoming birthday and entrusted me to "choose" for her. So in usual fashion, I made her a list of places that I was keen to try and that would be reasonable to go to, and of the list of restaurants, she chose MeNami. The decor has a cool rustic elegant appeal to it, with wooden details throughout. I love the marquee sign and the oversized door. I'd passed by MeNami on several occasions but it always seemed packed in the evenings. Luckily the family wanted to have a late lunch, which worked out perfectly because the restaurant was not overly busy. This allowed us to enjoy the attentive service from the wait staff. MeNami specializes in house made udon as well as delicious tapas style appetizers. We ordered the corn kaki-age which was lightly battered, full of corn kernels, and served with a honey butter mayonnaise. It was delicious! We also had the spicy salmon tartare with deep fried wonton chips. This was actually a bit too creamy for me and while there was a nice kick from the habanero oil, I would have appreciated some acidity to balance out the fattiness from the salmon and mayonnaise. The pork belly was nicely cooked and seasoned and not overly rich. Our chicken kara-age was served piping hot, with a light crispy batter, and had big chunks of seasoned dark meat. It was one of the better chicken kara-age that I've had. The crispy king prawns were generously sized and also delicious with thin strips of fried taro as garnish. As it is MeNami's specialty, we each felt compelled to try the udon. Hubby ordered the spicy pork udon (which was not overly spicy but had a pleasant heat from the kimchi to flavour the udon). My father in law and sister in law had the beef yakiniku udon, which was served with oyster mushrooms and thinly sliced beef with a clear broth. They were very generous with the finely sliced onions! My mother in law ordered the dondeki which consisted of teriyaki pork jowl -- the texture of which was firmer and chewy. This came with rice, a small bowl of udon with soup, and a simple cabbage salad (which apparently was refillable). I wanted a broth-less preparation so I ordered the curry udon with shrimp tempura. Honestly the udon was delicious with the creamy light curry sauce, and I felt could appreciate the chewiness of the fresh-made udon better than had it been soaking in hot broth. After the number of fried appetizers we had eaten, I did not quite enjoy the tempura as much. What I would have probably enjoyed was having the curry udon with kara-age or pork belly or beef to offset the carb-heavy meal. Perhaps even lightly grilled shrimp might have provided more balance. It was honestly too much food for each of us to order an entree each after all of the appetizers we had. The appetizers were delicious so I'd probably recommend going with the appetizers and sharing tapas style, with an order of hot pot or udon to share between a few individuals if you don't tend towards big meals. Would definitely come back. read more

There are a lot of interesting dishes on the menu I still want to try - would definitely come back! The fries were the highlight of my meal! The sauce (tastes almost like a teriyaki sauce) blended well with the green onions and tomatoes. Love this 10/10! The baked cheesy udon was good but HEAVY. I would recommend sharing this dish with someone because it is too much for one person. The fried chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was nothing special. read more

Udon is probably one of my favourite things to cook at home, so I was interested to try a restaurant's take on the thick noodles. We ordered the salmon cream udon and black sesame purée. The salmon was absolutely delicious. I could've done with a little less creaminess in the udon, but it was still a delicious bowl at a reasonable price. Service was fast - the store was pretty empty as we went on a weekday for lunch. I love that it has a lit-up sign outside, so you can't miss it driving down Yonge St. read more

This place has a lovely atmosphere that's super classy and casual. The wait time is a bit long, but totally worth it. There's lots of paid street parking around to. We decided to just try a few sake drinks with our appetizer meal. We got 4 appetizers (tuna tartare, salmon tartare, torched saba and kara-ge). Favorite one was definitely the tuna! Would definitely come back to hang out at this lovely place! read more

This is a to go to spot for delicious Japanese fusion food for lunch, dinner or even for a quick snack. Inside at night is similar to a pub as the restaurant does get dimmer and there's louder music playing, but in the morning, it's much more relaxing with regular lights and music playing at regular volume. Their menu offers a great selection of food from tapas to mains to alcoholic drinks. All of these are very good shareables if you decide to come with a friend. Overall time for all the food did not take long, roughly 10-15 minutes overall. The portions were fair for what you paid for, and everything tasted very good. We ordered: - Corn Kakiage: A favorite appetizer that consists of battered corn that is deep fried together. It comes in 5 pcs and this is a highly recommended and popular dish to get and share. The corn is equally very tasty, crunchy, and goes well with the mayo that accompanies it. - Oven Baked Udon: One of my favorite main as you get a big bowl of udon drenched in a good helping of cheese sauce with shrimp and bacon pieces as well. Definitely recommended for someone who likes their udon saucy. However I won't recommend this dish to someone that is lactose intolerant. - Tonkatsu Set: This is a great set as it comes wit a small bowl of udon in soup, vegetable and rice. The Katsu was nice and thin, and crispy at the same time. I liked the udon soup as it wasn't too flavorful and accompanied the Katsu well. As usual, I had a good satisfying meal here and will come back again soon for more food! read more

Super great place for udon noodles! They are a cute little shop located by the corner, warm and welcoming staff. Normally busy here since it's in Toronto and beside a busy street with many people. I ordered cheesy udon noodles and my family members ordered each different type of udon so we could all try it out. We loved the Japanese curry and cheese udon the best. Some of the dishes also come with tempura which I thought is a good compliment. Seating is nice but restaurant would be better if it was bigger since a lot of people come. But food is 10/10! High recommend this place as the food is very fresh read more

Great food but service could be better. The short ribs and dumplings were awesome. They also have a oyster special some nights. The chicken wings were just okay. Service could improve. This place is busy and waiter disappeared for a while. They made us wait for our table to be ready then told us we only had 2 hours to eat then never came back to take our dessert order. I would go back because the food was worth it! Good price point too. read more

This place was pretty cool and the service was nice but the food was overpriced and overrated asf the food was alright nothing crazy.

Great place for catching up with friends (accompanied by great food or drinks). They corn karage is definitely my all time favorite (mainly because it's paired off with a very delicious honey butter mayo). Their potato curry udon, I would love a bowl of white rice just so that I can finish off the sauce - this was definitely one dish I'll lick off read more

This place is pretty solid, and I'm a regular since one of my friends loves this place. So I can say consistently they have really good dishes. My favourites are either the shrimp udon (with clear broth) or the creamy mentaiko (heavier white sauce). The corn is also like crack, so yes you should get it. I think what makes this place great is the feel of a simple meal with quality ingredients, because too often restaurants either fall into the 'fast junk food' or 'overpriced fancy food'. The foods in this restaurant tastes like somebody put in some effort, it's not easy to replicate at home, and price point is reasonable. That's why I come here often. The atmosphere is pretty chill too so you can come with friends or for a date. read more

This restaurant was great! Having passed by the doors often, I came expectantly with a friend after work. Even though it was just past 6, it wasn't too busy. The atmosphere was just right - the lighting was great, the tables were clean. My friend and I got the chicken kara-age to start, and ordered the curry and oven baked udon, respectively. The oven baked udon was solid! It was creamy at every bite. There was a little cheese left over at the end, which I definitely wasn't mad at. My friend really enjoyed his bowl. I'd definitely come here again, to try another dish or two. read more

My friend and I came here for lunch and it was fairly empty. We ordered 2 curry udon options and really liked them! They were not overpowering but gave just enough flavour. It was also very light and blended well with everything. I really liked that because it made you full without feeling greasy. The noodles themselves had a very nice bite to them. Overall, the food was AMAZING. I would love to come back and try other dishes. I found their prices to be fair for the portion sizes they gave. The staff did not tend to us despite the place being empty. They were preoccupied with cleaning and setting up (fairly early when we came in but a good hour after they had already opened for the day). We had to wait to ask for the bill or for more water. I was unimpressed by the service. The interior was very nice though, the place has a unique aesthetic that's very trendy. There's also a bar and some of the drinks sound like they would taste good. I am also open to trying some of them out next time. Overall, I had a good meal as the food was tasty! I was just unimpressed by the service. read more

Realistically, this place deserves 3.5 stars, but I gave them 4 stars because 3 just felt too low. Boyfriend and I came here for lunch and were seated promptly. I got the potato cream curry udon and he got the seafood yaki udon. The potato cream curry udon was very unique. It was like having cool mashed potato on top of curry. I liked the overall flavors, but wished the curry was spicier and that the dish came with some sort of protein. I tried a bite of the seafood yaki udon and thought it was good, but nothing stood out to me. Wish I went with my gut and ordered their Mentaiko cream sauce udon or oven baked udon, but the potato curry udon was so intriguing to me. If I ever go back, I'd probably opt for a creamy, rich udon dish instead. read more

Not your typical Japanese resto. That is the first thing you should know. Tons of menu items are destructed or constructed very differently from your average and that is what makes MeNami outstanding. Come here if desire quality but admire experimentation and the art of food. With that said, ask before you order so you are delighted instead of surprised when your plate arrives! Go someplace else if you're looking for a cookie-cutter Japanese menu. I've only had positive experiences but I'm here with a specific purpose: to rave about the corn kaki-age. This stuff UNREAL. It is heaven-perfected corn tempura served with what tasted like honey mayo. It was buttery, decadent, crispy but not too crispy. I'm reading other reviews on the corn kaki-age being mediocre and I wondering if we ate the same thing. It is one of the most satisfying and unique starters I've ever had. Do not skip out. The restaurant itself is a work of art, it is rustic but modern. Only great vibes here. read more

As a frequent yonge-finch visitor, I've BEEN noticing the MeNami sign. However, it wasn't until recently that I finally decided to get in there and try their food. Obviously, I immediately ordered the Oven Baked Udon because, CHEESY UDON? Don't mind if I do. The menu has a lot of good options but I really do recommend getting this dish, it's big enough to share and it's an unforgettable meal so just do it :D The waitress was kind enough to notify me of the top two drinks, Secret Garden and Red Sun, and as a proud bandwagoner, I went ahead and ordered them. Secret Garden was sweet and Red Garden had wine in it so it was the perfect drink to have and get rid of the sweet aftertaste. Enough is enough, stop ignoring the MeNami sign and go in...you won't regret it. read more

I'm still not particularly impressed with Menami, but my most recent visit didn't suck. I got the corn kaki-age and the deep fried eggplant. The kaki-age, while tasty, was a tad chewy in an unpleasant way. I'm not sure whether this is because this is the texture of fried corn in general, or because they use cheap corn. The dip that came with it was good, but definitely not memorable. If I recall correctly, the kaki-age itself tasted similar to rice krispies cereal. I got the deep fried eggplant thinking it would be something more like eggplant tempura. Nope. They took a whole eggplant, shaved exactly one strip of skin off of it, then popped the entire thing into the fryer. Then they topped it with a ton of different toppings and a sauce. While the entire thing was tasty, it definitely wasn't what I was expecting. Not bad for price though. When we tried to get our bill, the waitress said she would get it, and then began doing other things instead. Then she forgot our bill. Eventually, we had to flag another waitress to get it for us. read more

3 of us came here around 7pm on a Monday evening, i was surprised how busy it was for a Monday! lucky enough we didnt have to wait long for a table. we got a few things to share; tempura udon, potato cream curry udon, corn karaage, okonomiyaki, tuna tataki, and eggplant this seem like a pretty good spot to chill. service was okay, nothing outstanding... but some of the food were good. what stood out for me was the potato curry udon. i never thought they can go together. the mashed has this sweet taste to it to compliment the little spicy/kick of the curry. the mashed made the curry/sauce more creamy and it was just soo good!! the deep fried sweet potato sprinkled on top of the eggplant was a nice surprise as well, would definitely get these 2 dishes again. the corn karaage was alright, just keep fried butter corn in a shape of a ball. kinda heavy / filling if you pair up with a creamy udon. okonomiyaki was a no-no. it was not a traditional style but deep fried version. the edge was hard, deep fried flour pancake pretty much. im looking forward for my next visit to try the sesame udon! read more

I first learned of Menami a few months ago when I was browsing a database of newly opened restaurants in Toronto. I found their website to be very appealing. They had a playable video of the owner describing the establishment on the home page, the website was very user friendly and the pictures complimented the colour scheme of the web pages well. Menami is also known to have a door that sticks out. Turquoise in colour and grand in size (double doors) with a flashy lit-up sign on top, it's hard to miss. Then, once you're inside your eyes will start feasting on the trendy decor. Their ceiling lights, wall decor, stools, and other knick knacks were made with two aesthetics combined together: nature and industrialism. Think of steampunk marrying mori-kei. Location-wise, this is about a two minute walk from Finch Station, so this would be a good place to get some drinks after work if you're a commuter. Their specialty is udon. I chose the seafood udon, which came as a pleasantly portioned dish filled with an above average amount of toppings. The broth was lighter than what I'm used to, which is often a meat-based or dashi-based broth with heavy notes of soy sauce and mirin (think of niku udon). At Menami, their seafood udon was light, yet very flavourful. I would almost say it tasted healthy, which is often something that is questionable when drinking soups at a restaurant. Nonetheless, I was instantly obsessed with the broth and thoroughly enjoyed drinking every last drop. I usually leave most of the soup when I'm out, mind you. The udon noodles had a good girth to them to boot, so I will definitely becoming back! This place is great for dates or small groups of friends. The green-blue lighting and decor make this a great spot for an intimate conversation over drinks and udon. read more

This has been on my list of to-tries for a verrrryyy long time and made it here during Halloween weekend. So of course, tried the corn kaki-age. It was different but didn't wow me to Mars. I really liked how they look a different spin to a fried dish. Also had the tako wasa. No surprises here, yummy like many other Japanese places. I would see myself coming back here to try the other appys My personal favorite udon of the night was the mentaiko cream sauce udon! Menami does this the best!! Also tried the black sesame puree udon with beef, and it really wasn't my thing. It had a sweet flavour to it, reminded me a little like a dessert and felt really odd as a udon. Again, personal preference. read more

Not a place to go if you only have an hour for lunch! Their service was slow and we felt like we had to rush our eating just to get back to the office on time. We were placed right by the washroom and they had left the door open, so the entire time we were there, I could smell the washroom stench! How unappetizing... I had ordered the Mentaiko Cream Sauce Udon ($13) and I found the portions just enough for me. The Udon texture was good, but the cream sauce was quite heavy and there wasn't a lot of fish eggs, which was a disappointment considering the price. My coworker ordered the Seafood Yaki Udon ($13) and he found there to be too much dried bonito on it. He said the fish-y taste over powered the seafood taste and he too was not entirely impressed with his dish. Another coworker ordered a smoke salmon appetizer ($10). That actually looked quite good and she really enjoyed it. It's unfortunate for these flaws. I really wanted to like this place! read more

3.5 stars for this restaurant that has consistent good quality. Love the decor, but I do feel the menu is a bit overpriced for what you are getting. The corn kaki-age is one of the most popular appetizers, and it is pretty tasty, but I actually prefer the fried squid with seaweed which is lightly fried and not too heavy. The udon itself is nothing special compared to handmade udon in Japan, but is higher quality than your average Japanese restaurant udon. They also have more creative choices, though I feel like they overdo the creamier udons like the mentaiko and the black sesame flavours. My favourite is actually the Nagasaki udon which is a light spicy chicken broth base with seafood. Their hotpots are pretty good too and you have the option of adding udon for an extra charge. read more
