Well, Midori Ramen continues to deliver their flavours especially with their innovative takes to a humble bowl of ramen with Chicken broth! I was very impressed with the service upon entering the restaurant as we were greeted with kindness and friendliness! The portion sizes were quite good for the price you pay and it really does hit the spot for a cold winter day! The appetizers were a good compliment to the bowl of ramen with the chicken karaage, duck and takowasabi! read more

Location was clean with ample seating and friendly staff. The food took a little longer than expected but everything came out piping hot and fresh. I could smell them frying the chicken karaage and each piece was juicy and steaming. Loved the mayo and chili option as well. The chicken gyoza was fried and the meat filling was seasoned well. For the ramen I usually prefer chewier thick noodles but their thin noodles surprised me with their bounciness. The broth flavours were good but I preferred the black garlic over the spicy one. Each ramen came with a slice of cha shu and chicken. The chicken was very soft and tender. The cha shu was basic. Will be back to try their ramenlicious limited flavours!! read more

We were craving ramen for dinner and walked in to Midori. What a cool spot - I was immediately impressed by their decor right next to the front door. We were seated very quickly and the food came out just as fast. Ordered the takoyaki to start which we really enjoyed! For ramen, I got the original Tori Paitan while my partner got the truffle. The broth for both ramen were SO good. The Tori Paitan was light, which was exactly what I was looking for, while the truffle was rich with umami flavour. Honestly couldn't decide if we liked the thick or thin noodles better - they were both individually cooked very well with great texture. Would definitely recommend! read more

My boyfriend and I were strolling Queen Street West area on a Saturday afternoon. For dinner, we decided to pick a place that looked cozy. As we were walking, we saw people inside having warm bowls of ramen, so we picked this place to have dinner. As soon as we entered, we were greeted by friendly faces and high pitched hello! Our waiter for this evening was a friendly young man who took us to a seat across from the open-concept kitchen. He brought us hot glasses of water (as per our request) and suggested their popular items to try. The decor was modern and calming. The mix of brown, green, black, and red added interest to a few places (e.g. by the entrance, the kitchen) yet a relaxing feeling. I enjoyed seeing the mix of artificial plants and wood panels to create a serene place. For appetizer, we ordered Takoyaki and Chicken Kaarage. For the main, we both picked Spicy Tan Tan Ramen (seasoned ground chicken, baby bak choy, chilli pepper, chilli threads, and chilli flakes). Also, my boyfriend ordered a Japanese mango soda. The appetizers tasted great- Takoyaki were hot and fresh and the Chicken Kaarage were also hot and succulent. The ramen was also delicious- hot and spicy to warm us up! The portion size was very generous. We enjoyed the Japanese mango soda- it was lightly sweet and refreshing. Throughout the evening, our waiter checked-in on us to make sure that we had everything we needed. He was attentive and friendly, and we appreciated his service. Delicious food and attentive service in a relaxed place. You can't go wrong! read more

There's an old expression that says that even when pizza is mediocre, it's still pretty good. I think the same idea applies to ramen, too. We showed up at Midori Ramen around lunchtime on a recent Saturday and the place was empty, though it did fill up the longer we stayed there. A quick perusal of the menu led me straight to the Spicy Tan Tan ("Ground Chicken, Sesame Paste, Bok Choy, Housemade Chili Oil, Chili Pepper, Sesame Seeds"). (I'll honestly never get sick of Tan Tan, which is way I pretty much have to order it when I see it on a menu.) The food arrived about twenty minutes later, which seemed like a long time considering we were the only customers, and sure looked promising. And while it's quite tasty and satisfying, I can't say I was ever blown away. All the components were there and yet the dish was missing something that took it over the top. The lack of bold flavors ensured that each bite was basically the same, and the noodles were very underwhelming to say the least. Still, much like so-so pizza, I enjoyed the concoction quite a bit. I just can't see myself ever returning, particularly given how many other ramen joints are in the area.. read more

The food, service, and the ambiance were perfect at Midori ! The waitress that was helping me, she was very friendly :) At Midori, they have a unique appetizer flight! My favorite were definitely the purple yam with honey dip and the chicken karage! I ordered the Truffle Ramen, and it was delicious! A lot of flavor for sure, and more on the saltier side. I had a lot of broth remaining, so I ordered an extra bowl of thin noodles! If you're in the area of downtown Toronto, this place is highly recommended! read more

A mid tier ramen place. Noodles have good texture, toppings are reasonably fresh, but the broth is meh. Nothing wrong with it but I stand by my opinion that the best ones are Kinton, Ajisen, and Sansotei (then again I prefer spicy broths). read more

I got the red spicy with fire spice level and for me it wasn't spicy. The broth was yummy and I enjoyed it. Price point a little higher than most places and ramen did not come with an egg. Service was the issue we had. We were seated first and another couple was seated next to us a few minutes later. The waitress comes and takes their order first then comes to us. Sure no big deal but then they proceed to get their food while we are still waiting. By the time they finished their meal we are still waiting so we ask the waitress what is the delay? She told us 'oh sorry we got a lot of delivery orders so your food is coming soon'. We would think that dine in customers should be priority over delivery but yeah eventually we got our food but it was a big delay They did give us 10% off for the delay but will not be returning read more

Finally got to try Midori after having it bookmarked for so long! I usually get spicy ramen but I decided to try something different based on other reviews. I got the black garlic ramen and w o w. So worth it. The broth was so flavourful and almost creamy. The garlic flavour wasn't overpowering but the taste was still there. I got the ramen with thin noodles and an egg. The chashu and chicken was a good size of protein for me. The thin noodles were chewy and delicious. Also shared the karaage and takoyaki with my friend and we loved both appetizers. My friend got the spiciest version of the red spicy and the broth actually tasted pretty mild. Restaurant is beautiful and service was great. I'll definitely return to try their other ramen! read more

Had dinner here right before 7pm which was the perfect time - no wait! I didn't have high expectations for this place but I was pleasantly surprised with the creamy broth. It was different than other ramen styles I've had - although a bit heavy as a result. I had the original tori paitan ramen with an egg. The thick noodles were cooked really well - great chewy texture. Something different is that each order comes with a slice of chicken and a slice of pork (rather than typically being just pork). The chicken was soft but I prefer having regular chashu. The Red Spicy was pretty much the same broth but with a bit of spice. We also shared a takoyaki appetizer which was good but took longer to come out. By the time we left, the restaurant was starting to fill up. Overall I liked the food here! read more

This place may be my new fave ramen place! Usually, I find ramen to be too salty and heavy, but this one was perfect. I tried the duck ramen, and it was perfect-- juicy duck, a lovely broth, great noodles, and a perfectly executed egg! What's not to love? As usual, I couldn't finish it in one sitting, but I'm happy to eat the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Their takoyaki was also awesome; crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. The restaurant is small but they have this really cool seating area up front around a green space; loved that! read more

Who doesn't love a good bowl of ramen on a winter day? Especially with the cold weather, I've been craving ramen a lot. Midori Ramen was a spot I haven't tried yet and was intrigued to give it a try. Their menu has a reasonable amount of options to pick from. I ended up picking the Duck ramen considering not many places in Toronto sell the duck ramens. Duck Ramen: It was super delicious. The broth was the right kind of flavour and the duck really complimented with the creamy ramen broth. The portions were quite good. The service was nice and patient as we took some time to browse the menu. The food came out pretty quickly. Overall, I would definitely come back if I'm in the Queen St W area again. read more

Great service! Ramen was ok/decent - perfect portion, good noodles. However, I preferred my friend's ramen which was the duck one - the broth was creamy with an earthy/umami undertone. I asked for hot sauce on the side and they gave me a spicy paste which was not spicy at all. read more

Midori Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I always love when a new ramen spot pops up in Toronto, as we have so many different specialties that the ramen scene here has become truly special. Midori specializes in a creamy chicken broth, which was incredibly delicious. Their decor was also beautiful, with a bonsai bar at the front and some cozy booths at the back. Here's the rundown of the food: - Signature Tori Paitan Ramen: this was an incredible broth, creamy and fragrant and unlike anything I've had before - but with all that cream and butter it was incredibly heavy meal and I could only finish half my bowl. The chashu was also delicious, and the egg was perfectly cooked. - Tan Tan Noodles: this was a spicier version of the chicken broth, and honestly the pure chicken broth was better but this was good too. Packed with chicken, it was also a very filling bowl. Overall Midori was a great spot with delicious ramen, and I would love to come back to try more of their menu! read more

I ordered 4 different ramen via uber eats (in order to get $50 min) all for myself! I sampled a bit of all 4 right away, before putting the leftover in the fridge. 1. Spicy Ramen Medium - After I cut the whole fresh chili pepper into thin slices, the broth became much spicier with a chili flavour, which was perfect! The broth was very creamy, chickeny, and flavourful. I felt very satisfied with this ramen and drank every drop. 5/5 2. Spicy Ramen Fire - Same as above, just more spicy. I could drink this broth alone every day! It is the perfect amount of spice for me and so addictive. It is not too spicy, I would say it is sriracha level. 5/5 3. "Creamy" Vegetable Ramen - I enjoy getting vegetarian ramen to try so I can recommend halal or vegetarian options for my friends. I also like tasting how different shops create a flavourful ramen without pork or chicken bones. That being said, I've had vegetarian ramen from several shops in Toronto. This was my least favourite broth ever. It was very bland and watery. It also was not creamy at all. It was cloudy but not creamy like the chicken ramen here or like a cream of broccoli soup. It was "creamy" like a watered down miso. I would give this item a 2/5 and feel like it was a waste of calories and money. 4. Black Garlic Ramen - At first, the broth tasted very 2 dimensional. It tasted like roasted chicken bones with roasted garlic in liquid. Like homemade chicken soup with burnt garlic. But after the chicken breast and pork slice sat in the soup for a few minutes, everything balanced out more. The broth became more flavourful and complex which I grew to like. However, I would not order this again as the black garlic tasted like burnt garlic and it is too garlic heavy for my preference. I would reccomend this to a garlic lover, but also think there are better garlic heavy ramen in Toronto. 3.5/5 I normally dislike chicken breast in ramen, but I actually preferred it over the pork at Midori as it was like a sponge holding the soup! Really wish the ramen came with a soft egg, ramen doesnt feel like ramen without it. read more

Midori Ramen - Medium spicy - Ramen Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is my first experience eating ramen since February 2020. Food: The chicken-based broth is in the high-tier of rich and creamy - the ultimate chicken soup in ramen form. I got my ramen with thick noodles (I consider this normal thickness) and as recommended by the staff got the Signature Tori Paitan ramen. This bowl comes with both pork and chicken chashu. The chicken chashu was unbelievably soft, I have not had a piece of chicken breast with that texture before. The pork chashu is a pork belly slice, nicely charred with a torch. The red onion, scallion, aosa sea lettuce, soft-boiled egg, burdock root thin chips (placed in the center) complemented the broth. After finishing my ramen, I had a full stomach despite sipping the majority of the amazing broth and experienced no heaviness. Alternative noodles are offered such as thin, kale, and gluten-free noodles. Cold noodles are also served here too. Service & atmosphere: When you walk in, there is a COVID-19 questionnaire your group has to complete on your mobile device. At the table, there is a QR code where the menu can be viewed, no physical/paper menu is given. The staff here are attentive and give good customer service. There are four tables that seat 2-4 people at the back each. There was a fair amount of physical distance between the tables. If you come here to eat solo, you can sit by the bonsai garden table at the front of the shop (maximum 2 people at this table I think). Pricing: At the time of this review, a bowl goes from $13.50 to $16. There are combos available for 1 person, 2 people, and 4 people with great deals. I usually gravitate towards pork-based ramen but Midori Ramen has changed my perception of chicken-based ramen. I will definitely come back here again! read more

I've tried several ramen joints within walking distance in my neighborhood, and Midori is the latest one. I jumped at the chance to finally eat on the patio with a server bringing me a fresh hot bowl of ramen along with the accompanying accoutrements afforded by dining in, and Midori delivered on that sentiment. They could have done better, with making the experience complete. Even though the patio curbside was set up nicely with higher privacy walls and bright umbrella, I missed the usual condiments that go along with eating ramen at many places I've been to. You know what I mean, the soy sauce and different shakers of garlic powder and exotic salts. To me, trying these is something special and part of the experience of eating ramen, the act of customizing the flavors. And why no liquor license yet? I was in the mood for some Saki and having that on the patio would have added to my wonderful evening dining out on the patio for the first time in 2021. I ordered the combo special which included fried dumplings along with a bowl of ramen, and I chose the thin classic ramen noodles. The dumplings came with Japanese mayo to dip which was delicious! The ramen itself was underwhelming. When I go again I will try a different selection. Having a chicken and pork combo didn't have my taste focus on one thing which took away from the intensity and watered down the experience. There was basically one piece of pork and one of chicken, which just isn't enough of one flavour to satisfy my cravings. It could be because I haven't tried chicken ramen before, as the flavour just isn't as pronounced, and comes off as bland. Presentation and service was top notch at Midori, so I do recommend you try it out as an alternative to the tried and true the next block over at the main competitor. Nice to have you Midori and I'll be back to try another choice! read more

Midori Ramen - Pictureception - Ramen Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Reunion dinner. Our order: the 2 person combo meal that came with two ramens of choice, kaarage, takoyaki and 2 pops. You can choose ramen based on width and adjust spicy levels. It was my first time having chicken ramen and never did I imagine the broth could just as rich, creamy and deep as tonkatsu / pork ramen. Better yet, it does not leave a greasy after taste. I loved both the red spicy (medium) and black garlic, neither of which overwhelmed the original umami of the chicken broth and provided the right amount of je ne sais quoi. The appetizers were more lackluster. We chose outdoor as we did not want to wait, but the interior is cozy and bright with quirky decor. The service was not as attentive as we would have appreciated, we had to go get the bill ourselves. What bothered me more was that half way through our meal, a group that did not check in with the server just sat down at the uncleared table next to us. They were loud and rude, and the server did not ask them to follow procedure to check in like others and wait for the table to be cleared despite asking them if they were here for a meal. One of the patrons was still smoking in the restaurant area. They did look intimidating but I do think it is the restaurant's responsibility in protecting and ensuring the experience for all their patrons. I would still return for the food but this unfortunate encounter did tarnish my meal. read more

I've been looking for a solid Tori Paitan (chicken based broth) ramen in Toronto ever since trying it for the first time on a whim in NYC. After having tried chicken broth options at a few other ramen spots and left unsatisfied, Midori definitely takes the crown in Toronto! Will definitely be visiting again and again. VENUE: The restaurant itself is super central located just west of the Queen/Spadina intersection. They have a surprisingly large street patio for their location (perfect for covid19 times). The inside is crazy nice. I got to sit at the front bar area facing a beautiful Bonsai tree design. FOOD: I had the signature tori paitan ramen, and it's been a whole I finished the entire bowl of soup in a ramen. Creamy and tasty to perfection with perfectly cooked ramen and a nice mix of garnishes topped with both a pork belly and the softest piece of chicken (breast?) I've had in ... ever. SERVICE: Great and fast service. No complaints and as expected for a spot like this. VALUE: Excellent food, dope vibes and great service - all for a pretty reasonable price. What more do you want?! Good value. read more

To my surprise, the chicken broth was really yummy and super creamy. I love how they add in both chicken and pork chashu to the ramen so you get the best of both worlds! Their noodle texture was really good as well. When they say it's the creamiest Tori Paitan Ramen in Toronto, they are not wrong! Overall, both ramens were great and the staff members were friendly as well. Definitely worth checking out! read more

With so many ramen restaurant on the queen street strip it's hard to decide which one to go to. So why not try them all? As you walk in you can see the beautiful bonsai display they have in the front. The restaurant has a very clean feel with Japanese asethetics. I ordered both the signature and black garlic ramen. For flavour wise I prefer the black garlic more as I found it to be more bold in flavor. It was very soothing during the winter cold. The service was friendly and prompt. The chashu is torched and has a beautiful colour on it. Definitely worth trying! I also ordered the tofu Nuggets, it was crispy and delicious but I'm not a fan of peas. read more

I wandered into this restaurant by accident. I was beyond hungry and decided to stay. The whole restaurant smelled delicious. I wanted to sit at the bar but Toronto is still very careful about COVID 19 and moved me to a table. I didn't mind. The restaurant serves alcohol so I ordered a hot sake. I ordered my favorite Black Garlic ramen. I was surprised to hear that the ramen included both chicken & pork chashu. So why not? When my ramen arrived, I realized I should've ordered an extra pork chashu. I couldn't find a piece bigger than an inch. Everything else was delish but that morsel of pork/chicken has me wanting. I was used to getting a bigger portion of protein. The servers were very polite and didn't hover. The meal wasn't overly expensive and the restaurant was very clean. It seemed a very popular place since there was a steady stream of customers. I only had the one ramen. Maybe their other ramen may be better. Just a little disappointed at my choice that day. read more

Midori is a good option for ramen in downtown Toronto! When I came I got the ramen combo for 2 people which came with 2 choices of ramen, drinks (there is a surcharge for premium/alcoholic drinks), and appetizers. Tonkatsu with black garlic - creamy and flavourful. Garlic chips were delicious Spicy miso - broth was good and I liked that it came with both pork and chicken as well as bok choy and corn. Not too spicy I've added +0.5 for quality service. I still prefer Santouka if I had to pick between the two ramen places but it is also unfair to compare the two as they are not apples to apples and both offer different types of ramen! read more

Based off the good reviews on Yelp, I was going in with high expectations for this chicken ramen shop. I really wanted to love it but I ended up being disappointed. I had ordered their original tori paitan ramen with thin noodles and to be honest, the ramen didn't taste awful. However, it really lacked the chicken flavour I was expecting. Comparing to other chicken ramen restaurants I've tried, other places you can really taste the rich chicken flavours in their broth. At Midori, it tasted really bland and the creamy addition to the broth really took it away from tasting any chicken flavour. Taking the first few sips were okay but after working my way through the bowl, I found the broth really coated my throat. I had to drink a lot of water to wash it down and clear my throat. My partner ordered their tori paitan shoyu and it didn't taste that different from their original - he also mentioned it was coating his throat as he kept eating as well. Their karaage was good but I felt like it was also missing some flavours in their seasoning, and maybe could have been fried a little longer to be more crunchy. The staff here are friendly but they were not as attentive and were standing around talking. Nobody came to check up on us and we also had to ask to refill our waters. Most ramen shops I can really feel the authenticity with their staff and chefs but with this one, I didn't feel it. Unfortunately, I don't think this spot would be my go to for chicken ramen since I much prefer Ikkousha down the street. But maybe their other signature ramens might be more worth a try. read more

Have you heard about Midori before? Midori is a new Japanese restaurant located at Queen Street West and Spadina Ave. They took the old spot that used to be Cool N2 liquid nitrogen ice cream before. Midori specializes in Tori Paitan or creamy chicken broth for its ramen. If you like creamy broth, you will enjoy their Tori Paitan because they were very rich and flavourful! However, they also offer a vegetarian option for those who have dietary restrictions or prefer to eat vegetables rather than meat. Anyway, the most interesting thing about Midori for me is their ramen take-out packaging. Midori chose to use Double-layer disposable take-out bowls for their ramen. The Double-layer disposable take-out bowls help to separate the ramen and toppings from the broth. So, it helps to maintain the original taste of the ramen noodles and the soup. It's practical and convenient. And there's no more need to worry about soggy noodles! Isn't it great!? read more

We ordered for pickup on Valentine's Day (guess you can call us hopeless ramen-tics hahaha) when they had a special for 2 ramens & an appetizer for $29.99. The interior of the restaurant was very cute & our food was so thoughtfully packaged. We didn't eat it right away but it was still good heated up after a few hours. The broths were soooo creamy and flavourful and we liked that it came with two kinds of protein. I'm definitely a thick noodle type of girl and the noodles were perfectly bouncy! read more

Midori Ramen - Black Garlic - Ramen Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

My absolute favourite ramen place ever - chef's kiss! FOOD // I HIGHLY recommend the Original Tori Paitan with thick noodles. The creamy broth is light and very well done, the pork chashu is amazingly seasoned and grilled, and the chicken chashu is very juicy. As someone who's tried multiple ramen spots in Toronto and having not loved ramen from my experiences, Midori has really changed it for me! My boyfriend and I crave this place regularly (like once a week). Excited to also try the frozen ramen they offer!! Tip: With any leftover broth, I finish it off with rice, which is super tasty. SERVICE // The service is always amazing - I call in for takeout and the staff is always informative! The packaging is also amazing and compact! They divide up the noodles and toppings (top tiered tray) from the broth (bottom tiered bowl) in one container, which is genius! PRICE // It is around $13-$14 for the majority of their ramens. For the quality and depth in flavours, it is well worth the price. This is my go-to ramen place, pretty much the only ramen place I crave and would recommend! read more

Midori Ramen - Original Tori Paitan - Ramen Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We spotted Midori while out for a walk over the weekend, and decided to broaden our horizons in our ongoing search for the best ramen in Toronto. I was intrigued by the "Red Spicy" ramen with pork and chicken, and found the addition of red onion and sweetcorn an interesting choice. Having found them on DoorDash we decided not to wait for delivery and instead walked there to pick up our wares. The food was ready when we arrived so we hurried home to taste what the reviews promised was a delicious bowl of warming goodness. The restaurant included all of the required utensils, napkins and a take-out menu, along with a coupon for 15% off our next pick-up order which was a nice treat. The ramen containers themselves were in two levels, with the broth at the bottom and toppings at the top. The instructions said to heat the broth for 2 minutes so we obliged and combined the two once the broth was piping hot. To say the flavours of the Red Spicy were amazing is an understatement. Ramen can be quite salty at the best of times but this was full of flavour and very rich without being overwhelmed. It really wasn't that spicy though, and I had ordered medium. I chopped up and added the red chilli which came with the toppings and it was still only medium spicy in my mind. I'll go a level hotter next time. My partner had the "Signature Tori Paitan" and the broth reminded of chicken soup but was delicious in its own way. The vegetables and toppings were extremely fresh and I loved the sweetcorn which I have never seen in a ramen before. It's a little on the pricy side (around $16 per bowl plus tax) but in my opinion it's well worth it. I can't wait to go back and try the rest of their menu items! read more

I've been eyeing Midori over the last weeks, entirely because the interior is impossible not to appreciate. In the centre of the space is what can only be described as a sort of indoor garden living on a large table. Without having been able to go inside, I can't confirm whether the plants are real or not, but the view from the street is stunning regardless. I ordered from Uber Eats, which is something I generally don't do with ramen. The package is always excessive, and it's just not really a food that lends itself to delivery (in my opinion). I had to make an exception for Midori because if they put so much thought into making their interior beautiful, surely they'd apply the same principle to their ramen. And they definitely do. Unlike competitors, they deliver their ramen in a two-tiered bowl, with the dry ingredients living on the top and the soup living in the bottom. It's a pretty smart and impressive construction, and allows for not only less waste, but the opportunity to enjoy the aesthetics of what you're about to eat. Sliding the contents of the top tier into the bottom is simple, and then... It's delicious. The pork chashu is grilled perfectly, and doesn't have that porky taste that chashu often does. The chicken chashu is super tender and juicy - it's a weird comparison, but the texture almost reminded me of bocconcini. The broth was salty and hearty, but not aggressively so. You can actually drink it and not feel your insides dry out instantaneously. The egg was perfectly cooked, even with the delivery. The sea lettuce added umami to the already umami packed broth, and the onion provided a bit of acidity for some relief. I got the kale noodles, which did have a mild leafy taste I enjoyed. I think the noodles would've benefited from me letting them sit in the broth a bit longer. Midori is awesome! Give it a try. read more
