It's been a while since my last visit. I went there with some coworkers. Everyone enjoyed the cozy vibe and interior design and the great food. It was my coworkers' first time and they loved the quality of the food and the experience. Customer service was fantastic as usual and we all enjoyed the experience. It's definitely one of my favourite spots in downtown area for Ramen! Highly recommended! :) read more

Went here for a quick dinner with the family before we went all our seperate ways for the evening. It was a cold March day and we were in the mood for someting warm and filling. The restaurant itself is clean. Not memorable in terms of looks. Reminded me of a fast food establishment. Not comfortable seating. Menu is full of different ramens with a few drinks and appetizers. However what I didn't like is they seperate them into gold, silver or house specials which I think is unnecessary and makes ordering cumbersome. Also, I feel a bit manipultive because do you want a "gold" dish, or just a silver dish.My kiddo and hubby decided on the Gold Kome Cha-Shu, while I went with the Miso Curry. We also decided on the crunch tofu salad, and an order of Ikageso (squid). Food came out quickly. The Crunch tofu salad was delicous. The contrast of the cold tofu with the crispy onion chips mixed with the japanese soy sauce was a delight. It was also a great portion. The Ikageso was good as well. Squid was tender and there was a nice batter. However the sauces made it hard to eat. The ramens came. They were decent enough. The noodles were still springy which I appreciated. However I found the broth to be a little disappointing and considering that they are in the higher end - over 16 bucks. And apparently the gold broth is a stronger flavour. So I can't imagine what the silver would taste like. It was fine. But unless I was in the area, I would not go to this establishment read more

Service was excellent, but the ramen we ordered was warm, not hot, when we got the order. On top of it, parking downtown is expensive.

Got takeout and it was excellent!!! Broth was hearty and flavourful. Generous 4 thick slices of char siu and veg w fresh noodles. Instructions said heat up stock but still quite hot by the time we got it home. Definitely hit the spot. Hate to say it, but gives Tokiwa a run for its money - 1) charsiu is generous not paper thin 2) equally good broth 3) flexibility of takeout 4) No risk of "No soup"! Would definitely recommend. read more

I would say this is my go to spot for ramen. Whether they are slow, busy, evening, I always get a hot bowl of ramen packed with flavor. It's always made the same to perfection. My favorite thing to order is the pork skewers that are absolutely drenched in this sweet sauce. It's delicious and I always take some to go. I order the black garlic ramen and I'm very picky when it comes to my ramen. The broth is full of flavor, the noodles are thin and chewy, and the chashu just melts. Every time, I don't leave disappointed. Whenever I visit Edmonton, Misoya is the spot I visit for ramen. Love the high ceilings and the kpop music playing. It's a nice area too on 4th street. Recommend. read more

A wonderful way to warm up with the onset of winter in downtown Edmonton. My dad said this was the best ramen he's ever had! The minute you step inside, you're hit with the delicious smell of food cooking. Inside has tall ceilings, lots of various seating, and an open kitchen so you can see the staff who are hard at work preparing your meal. Our servers were really nice. You've got tons of ramen options, as well as yakitori, small plates, rice bowls, and a couple dessert options. I ordered the Miso Tonkotsu Spicy and it was a perfect balance of flavor. They provide a small dish of a spicy paste to adjust the heat if the base level is too mild for you. You'll definitely leave feeling full - they pack these bowls! TIPS: street parking only. Come back for happy hour from 2-5 and prices will drop significantly. read more

Dined in with a friend. Service was attentive and friendly. Mango shrimp roll was great, we both enjoyed it. Gyoza was okay. The ramen (silver and gold) was overall good but we did not like the chashu. It was tough, very chewy - usually their chashu was melt in your mouth or tender at least. Tonight was disappointing. read more

Good variety of ramen. Awesome noodles. Good broth. Pretty decent meat portions. I wanted to love this place. But I cant. My entire visit was great, service and food. My ramen was a huge portion, with a great broth, and pretty decent variety of toppings. It's also located in a great spot. I cant love it bc it was the only thing i ate that day, and after one hour of eating here. I had the worst case of food poisoning for the next 4 hours. I eat out all the time, this only happens if food is mishandled or is not fresh. Either way, it was one of the worst bouts I've ever had. And for this I wouldnt come back. Also they advertised a happy hour menu on Instagram. When I arrived I wanted to try a few items but supposedly you are limited to ordering only 1 item on the happy hour specials then pay full price for any items after that. I didnt like that and I basically didnt try anything extra bc of it. Not impressed. Not sure if I'll give it another try. But my first experience was terrible! read more

I am so happy that another ramen restaurant has arrived in Edmonton! This place is Michelin guide recommended. The inside is quite spacey and modern. You can choose between Gold, Silver, House Special and Vegetable Ramen on the menu. The Gold Ramen will have a heavier and strong flavor than Silver because it has been fermented for longer. I've tried the following: Gold Kome Cha-su ($16.75)- pricey ramen but it comes with many ingredients. The Cha-su pork is thick and crispy. It's very different from the Cha-su found at other ramen places. Overall it was good but nothing mind blowing. It was also a bit too salty. Miso Tonkasu Spicy ($15.75)- this was really delicious!! I love spicy Ramen and this one hit the spot Miso Tan Tan Deluxe ($19.90)-way too pricey for one bowl of Ramen in my opinion but this one came with the most ingredients. This is spicy as well but was super good The best ramens to order here are probably the spicy ones. Ramen can start at a basic price of $12.25 but you can add onto it. Service was decently fast and knowledgeable. Would come again! read more

Came here on a Monday evening with the family. It was not too busy. We were seated right away. Kids had the Gold Kome basic with extra noodles. They enjoyed it. I had the Gold Kome Cha Shu. Broth was really good. Noodles were the right texture. Pork was a little dry. My wife had the Tonkotsu Black basic. She said broth was good but could have been more flavourful. Noodles were good but not the best she's had. We also had the squid and unagi yakitori appetizers. Really good. We finished with Black Sesame Mochi which was good too. Service was great. I understand this place is a chain and so will be visiting others. They also gave us a stamp card and if you order 10 ramens you get one free. read more

I have to admit I was going to give this place only 3 stars. I made sure I came back again and was happy I did. When I first visited, I came with my wife who isn't the biggest ramen fan. For her, the menu was intimidating. It didn't have the types she has become accustomed to. It follows a general gold or silver line for ramen with a few other items which didn't help clear things up. Although almost all the items have pictures, they can be a little overwhelming and none of them looked appealing to her. As I could tell she wasn't wanting to return, I made sure I selected one of their larger bowls so I could try the most offerings. I selected the Gold Kome Cha-Shu. This included three prices of pork cha-shu, minced miso pork, potato wedges and more. The Happy Hour specials were solid so we added chicken karaage to the order. That first bowl was a little overwhelming. I found the flavour very strong and the potato wedges, a signature element, just seemed weird. The chicken was good and I wasn't disappointed with the bowl it just wasn't what I expected. As I mentioned, I did return. This time I went with the Silver and skipped the potato. I think it was one of the bowl on special. This one I could get behind. I could taste some subtle flavours in the broth and each garnish was noticeable. Add to that a wonderful window seat overlooking 104 St and beautiful downtown Edmonton and you have yourself a meal! read more

It was excellent. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was ok. It was not too noisy so able to have a conversation.

Tried this place out for lunch after seeing that it recently opened. I was quite excited as I was really looking forward to trying a authentic Roman place and this place looked like it had potential. The service was good as I was seated quite quickly and the menu looked quite promising with all the different types of ramen soup that they ordered. You have a choice of ordering Ramen from the 'Gold' and 'Silver' choices which essentially determines the broth you get. How sweet and salty you like it. I like my broth to be a little sweet, so I ordered the Silver Shiro Cha Shu ramen bowl. On the side based on the recommendation of the waitress we ordered the house made Gyoza. The house made gyoza did not disappoint and was extremely delicious. My ramen was I think just okay. I noticed that the noodles didnt seems as soft and fresh and the broth itself didn't taste authentic or with a natural sweetness I typically love with my ramen soups. This place was nice inside decor wise and had good service despite being busy. Not sure it would be my to go place but maybe as a feel like ramen but if it's the only option or on the way. read more

A friend and I had planned to do some jamming in my studio, and decided we should grab some dinner first. After a brief confab, we picked Misoya which had the distinction of being right across the street from my studio, and being a spot neither of us had tried. Misoya is a standard set up for a Ramen shop. Kitchen on one side with a bar/counter, and then a larger seating area, rife with Zen, and Brechtian in is sparseness. Like most good noodle shops, they are designed for maximum turnover. They also have a big screen TV, which their media suggests is always tuned to the kitchen, but this night there was a basketball game, with the sound turned down. Our waiter needed some self confidence classes, speaking so quietly as to be mostly inaudible, and then got the drink order wrong. He did, however get the food order right, and we started with an order of Gyoza, which were quite tasty. The pork filling was a tad dry but did not detract much from the dish. My friend ordered the Miso Curry Ramen and I the Goma Tan Ramen. Both arrived in good time, piping hot and fresh. My friend raved about his Miso Curry which was flavourful without being overpowering, and he loved the subtle use of the curry. My Goma Tan was delicious, and the broth was full and rich. The noodles were great, though I thought the dish, overall was a bit spartan. I initially attributed it to the full page on the menu dedicated to "add ons." I later realised the menu image showed a piece of Cha Shu, braised pork belly with the dish, but I did not get one. Misoya is part of a chain of 30 restaurants, looking to expand around the world. Judging from my visit, This location needs some fine tuning. I forgive spotty service in a family owned noodle shop, but for a "global chain" I expect more. Food - 4 The flavours and execution were very good. Decor - 4 Modern, functional while still feeling warm. (Figuratively... It was tad chilly) Service - 2 The restaurant was not busy and there was nothing complex about our order. Our waiter was perfectly pleasant, but did not assert himself, nor did he catch the mistake on my order when it came out of the kitchen. I have been a waitron myself. You should know the look of every dish on the menu. (and this is not a big menu.) I will likely return, since the location is extremely convenient. Prices are a little on the high side, and this is not the best Ramen shop in town, but it is pretty damn good so will warrant another chance. read more

My kids wanted noodle soup for downtown dining week, so this place fit the bill nicely. The service is so friendly here. It took about 5-10 minutes to get my order & they have a designated waiting area inside. They also package their takeout with care. If I didn't have drinks already, I would've definitely bought a ramune drink there- they have a huge variety of ramune flavours here (more than I've seen at Asian grocery stores). I don't think there's a designated patio area for this restaurant, but there's a lot of outdoor seating for the 104 st area. For the food, I like how the soup is packaged separately from the bowl and the visual presentation of the ramen bowl is still beautiful despite being takeout. The soup is very rich, my 2 small kids quite enjoyed this and the chicken too (although they had to share). I actually wanted a bowl for myself too, so I might have to make another trip to downtown again! read more

This is crazy... but this was my first experience trying ramen that wasn't made from a package at home. The restaurant had an interesting vibe by playing loud rap music followed with country music. I'll admit that I was confused by the menu. It provided almost no description of the different types of ramen. Maybe these differences are well know, but given that this was my first time trying ramen I had no idea what it all meant. I had to ask the waitress for help and eventually just went with what was most popular - Gold Kome Cha-Shu with the added soy egg. While the broth was tasty, it was a little bland for my liking. I found the addition of the potato wedge to be interesting and almost out of place. However, the texture and flavor of the noodles were the best part of the dish. Given that this was my first experience with Ramen, I would like to come back here and try a different type of broth. Perhaps something more spicy will better suit my pallet. read more

Amazing spot! I've literally had it 3 times in the last week. Always fresh. Always great quality. Phenomenal Flavour. Fast service and friendly. One of my favourite spots for Ramen. The inside is very clean and has a cool vibe. The Goma Tan is my go to. Def recommend! read more

This new ramen place has just opened up on 104 St and I'm super excited because tasty ramen within walking distance from office is always the best for cold or rainy days! Apparently it's a small chain that has won awards, but there are almost no stores in Canada yet so Edmonton's among the first (currently just Toronto and Edmonton, with Calgary and Montreal opening soon). They have three types of ramen base, which they call gold and silver, plus a vegetarian base. For each type of base, the menu lists a "basic", "spicy" and "special" combo which you can order as is, or you order the basic and then create your own combo by choosing from their toppings list. The cha-shu (pork belly) was particularly good, highly recommended! They're not licensed for alcohol, so the drink list is fairly limited, but let's face it, you're here for ramen primarily. Despite the downtown location they have a reasonable amount of indoor seating, and the 104 St address between Jasper and 102 Ave is convenient walking to anyone working (or living) downtown. No private parking though if you're driving from elsewhere. But they're right across the street from Bay Enterprise LRT station. My only complaint about the restaurant was the volume - as soon as you walk in the door you're blasted with noise as the speaker is right above the entry. But even once inside and seated well away from the door, the volume was still too high for my taste - and I was there at lunch, not for a late night visit. It was annoying to the point that I actually downloaded a noise measurement app on my phone and checked the decibel reading - something I will add that I have never felt inspired to do before in any restaurant ever. According to some googling: "A typical restaurant comes in at about 80 dB. In order to carry on a normal conversation, the sound level requires 55 to 65 dB. At 75 dB, conversation becomes difficult and, at 85 dB, damage to the hair cells in the inner ear can lead to permanent hearing loss." Sitting in the half empty restaurant at about 12:45pm on a quiet Saturday, the noise level measured by my phone was between 85-90 dB - and that was just from the music, not from the other customers. I'd love to take my uncle here when he visits next month but I know he won't be able to stand music volume that loud, and I'd hesitate to come here with anyone I actually wanted to have extensive conversation with. For that, I'll have drive a little further away to Kazoku which is also excellent ramen and a much more reasonable volume. Hopefully Misoya will consider toning down the blasting music - when I commented to the waitress how loud it was she was pretty dismissive. read more

Ramen. I love it. I've had it all over the place and a new ramen place always draws me in. I like all kinds of ramen, so a restaurant specializing in miso ramen seemed limiting, but with over 20 types of ramen on the menu, I wasn't worried about being limited. The ramen offerings are split into 4 sections Gold Kome (Hokkaido style), Silver Shiro (Kyoto style), Vegetarian and House Specials (Tonkotsu, Tan Tan, Curry). As there were 4 in my group, we got 4 different types to taste. More on that later; first we started with Karaage, Gyoza, and Takoyaki. These were not impressive to use. The Karaage was dry and crispy and the takoyaki was underdone. Some people enjoy it this way, but this seemed a bit too underdone. The gyoza were fine. Now to the ramen. Most of the ramen have the same general ingredients; pork broth, noodles, bean sprouts, cabbage, green onion and minced pork. The ground pork was an interesting addition and I think it went really well. The styles we ordered were the house special spicy miso tonkotsu, shiro chicken karaage, kome cha-shu, and kome ebi fried shrimp. The kome broth was creamy and thick with a lot of umami and the shiro broth was lighter, sweeter with less umami and both were excellent. The shiro chicken karaage and kome ebi fried shrimp were interesting because they were somewhat unique but their added meat seems like it was just placed on top of a finished meal. The spicy tonkotsu and kome cha-shu were the real deal and were perfect. The pricing is one thing that's holding this place back. Their prices ranged from $12-$19.50 with most bowls ending up in the middle of that range. Most of those prices are only including the ground pork and adding cha-shu pork from $2.50-$4.50, it makes Misoya priced above other local ramen restaurants. read more

We heard good things so thought we would give Misoya a try. First of all, the service was excellent. Our hostess walked us through their menu and specials and she was super friendly. Gyoza was excellent. For ramen we tried the Gold Kome Cha-Shu, the Silver Shiro Cha-Shu and a side order of Miso egg to share. Both broths were delicious. I prefer a more savoury broth and I thought the Gold catered best to my taste buds. The gold is fermented longer and this definitely shines through in the broth. The silver broth was less intense, but still good. The Cha-Shu portions (3 pieces) were generous and very tasty. In my opinion, their Cha-Shu is one of their strengths. The miso egg was also cooked perfectly and is highly recommended as an add-on. The noodles, were not my favourite style and seemed a bit thick/harder. I'm not a ramen expert, but this was the only part of the ramen dish that I wished I could change. All in all, a 3.5/5.0 for food and the extra 0.5 star goes towards excellent service. I will try this place again as I would like to sample their Miso Curry. read more

Good ramen, ordered golden Cheshire ramen, fried squid and bbq skewers, Raman is nice, fried squid is great too.

Overall, good flavours and amazing noodle texture. Interesting combination of adding potatoe wedges into the soup. I didn't mind it, but it also didn't wow me. Prices were average and portions were good. I left the restaurant pretty full! I would recommend the Silver Shiro Special as it comes with the egg already! read more

Ramen was excellent and service was ok. The place feels small, it felt crowded even though it was not packed with customers. We were asked to sit on the side by the wall because they were cleaning i guess. The middle section was empty. I find it quite uncomfortable when they were cleaning the place with i was eating. It was around 11:30am so it would have been expected that people were going to walk in. The ramen was very tasty tho. So if being close to the person at the other table doesnt bother you, then you may even rate this a 5 star place. Maybe i'll give it another try and sit somewhere else... read more

I loved this restaurant. I hope they get more business. They have some pretty good combos. When I was there with my husband I had Sapporo beer and it came with some free yakitori.

My boyfriend and I checked out this place after a recommendation and it was very good! We started with the squid appetizer which came in a skewer breaded with a sauce on top, very delicious, the breading was crispy and the squid was tender. Then we both had the tan tan deluxe, it has a nice rich broth and was seasoned well, the cha-shu pieces were really big and nicely grilled, the eggs had the perfect yolk and were nicely salty, the noodles were firm and delicious, I liked the bits of cabbage as well, I can not wait to come back and try another bowl. Beautiful inside and service was good. read more

The enticement of "Michelin star recommended restaurant" drew us to the newly opened Misoya Ramen. As we live downtown, the prospects of a new quality Ramen shop excited us. As we walked in, the interior was quite spacious and nicely decorated. Service was great as well. This was the extent of the pros of the store. The food was overwhelmingly disappointing. The flavor profile was that of salt and nothing else. There was no depth to the flavors and I felt like we were eating a packet of instant noodles. Not sure if the Ramen was packaged in Japan and shipped here to be cooked with instant packets, but the feel of homemade broths that Ramen shops are known for was nowhere to be found. We tried both the gold and silver broths, two of their most popular. Pricing was on par with other ramen shops around the city. At first glance it may seem cheaper than others but you soon realize that the basic price includes the most basic (broth, noodles, some condiments) and that the price soon adds up for a normal bowl of ramen with the works. Overall it was nice to try but we're disappointed that we will not be return customers. read more

First impressions, love the waitress. Very friendly and helpful. Her smile just made my day. Now to what we all want to know... Potato in Raman???, good thing I order the curry Raman as that was a perfect pairing. The recommended on the menu is a must get. Very tasty and we'll balance. The selection of Raman is good. Would recommend and gold over the silver as it is more flavorful but you need to order the curry Raman. Only thing negative about the location is there isn't any free parking. This place is a must try .. read more

Excellent place right near downtown Edmonton. I had the spicy ramen and karaage. They were both terrific! The staff is super friendly and helpful in deciding what to order. Very clean.

By far the best ramen in Edmonton, portion and price is good. Environment is comfortable, for sure I will go back again!

The music was so loud that I couldn't hear the person sitting across from me. The server was extremely pushy. After looking at the menu, she continued to list examples of dishes we could get. I ordered the Gyoza and Curry Ramen. Gyoza was extremely dry, and the filling inside had a rough mouth feel and lacked flavour. The ramen soup had a light curry taste and was very salty. The noodles were nothing special, but they did have a weird mustard yellow colour to them. The Tonkatsu was hard as a rock and not easy to break apart. The meat tasted low quality and was quite stringy. Potatoes in the ramen were weird but didn't really bother me. Food came out slower than expected, even after weeks of being open. The interior was pretty nice, high ceilings and nice decorations. Pricing was a little bit on the expensive side for what you get. The server asked me how the food was when we paid, I told her it was ok. She looked surprised and then just walked away and didn't ask me why. Very dissatisfied and cannot recommend at this time. read more

After a brief visit around the downtown farmers market yesterday, I was looking for an a restaurant I have not visited before. I saw Misoya. I love ramen. I took a chance. I looked at then menu before seating.The menu was a little confusing Gold? Silver? What? I sat down at the counter table near the window. I ordered, a vegetable ramen. The ramen arrived, I tasted the first sip of the broth. The broth tasted "chemically" NOT natural NOT home made. Then the star of the bowl, the ramen. Well the ramen, tasted like it was full of preservatives. After reluctantly eating the ramen, it was finally done. I went to pay my meal. I asked the server at the till, is the ramen made fresh? the server said they were made in Montreal. Like Tim Hortons, the donuts are manufactured in Oakville, and shipped the franchises. Mmmmmmmmmmmm gross. First and last time. You can tell a great ramen restaurant where there is an line-up before the doors open everyday. Go to Tokiwa is the BEST ramen restaurant in Edmonton! Period. read more
