    One of the best ramen places in the city. Sadly I live on the west end and this is all the way in the east end. Everything looked so good it was hard to choose but I got the shoyu option. Noodles were bouncy, broth was so flavourful, had a nice roasted flavour, the pork belly was the perfect texture and torched. Just amazing. Really wish I lived closer so I could come back.

    A damn good bowl of ramen. I got the shoyu ramen, which had a flavourful but delicate broth. The noodles gad a perfect chewiness and consistency to them. You get a nice big piece of fatty cha siu and a whole marinated egg. The price is probably a bit higher than other spots, but the portions here are definitely more substantial. Pork gyozas are also a must!

    Shio ramen

    Pretty bangin bowl of noodles. Vibe is louder than you might expect which is a pro or a con depending on what you're looking for! The shio ramen was amazing. Broth was nice and flavourful, slightly fishy, egg was perfect, and the pork was super generous and absolutely fall apart tender. Like crazy tender. Fries wish nori ranch were also suuuuper good (mostly cause of the ranch let's be honest) The vegetarian ramen was also really good. Very mushroom-y but also held up against the non veggie ramen honestly. Friendly service.

    We got the shoyu ramen and the spicy sausage ramen. They were not kidding when they said it's spicy! Ramen was cooked perfectly, the broth warm and comforting especially for a cold day. Portions sizes are a bit small - only two slices of pork belly! But the taste makes up for everything. I'll definitely return

    Oji Seichi is delicious and comforting, offering up ramen and other Japanese fare that warms the soul. While it falls short of the amazing ramen I've enjoyed in Japan (as most ramen spots do), they are serving up very respectable and interesting bowls of ramen. I tried a more "experimental" dish made up of a sesame-y broth and chicken sausage which was good, though a tad too spicy. My partner's shio ramen was good as well. As an added bonus, the service is on point too!

    Overall pretty disappointing for the new place in the neighborhood. Got the shoyu ramen, ramen lite, curry korrokke, cucumber seaweed salad and gyozas. Shoyu ramen 2/5 - I was hoping it has a light delicate flavour but broth had no flavour and a touch layer of fat. Noodles were a nice texture (fresh, chewy) but wish they had a thick noodle option. Toppings only added texture but otherwise lost in the bowl of no flavour. The chashu had a great texture, soft rendered fat but the butane taste overwhelmed the actual porkiness. Ramen lite 2/5 - same as above but no chashu and very few toppings Note for the ramen, we also got the additional chilli oil but it didn't add much either. Was hoping it would add a bit of spice but it just added a red layer of fat. Curry korrokke 4/5 - one of the best things we had. Great taste, decent texture and melts in your mouth. Wish the breading was more crispy but still pretty good Cucumber seaweed salad 4/5 - the other dish we really liked. Probably should have been called daikon and cucumber salad because the seaweed was a bit lacking. It was crispy and acidic, I would have liked either more sweetness or a touch more salt but a decent pickled salad to cut through all the fat Gyoza 3/5 - nothing special and a bit overcooked. The part of the wrapper that wasn't fried was mushy. Crispy part was ok. There meat itself was soft and tender but lacked any bounce or chew. It's fine but for me I wouldn't get it again. Summary - after all that it came out to about $80 and my wife and I weren't hungry but also not particularly full. The portions are a bit small and the star items (ramen) aren't that great. We thought the small menu meant they were excellent at everything but really it's just ok. 3/5 overall.

    Vegetarian ramen

    I've found the best vegetarian ramen in town! So happy I was introduced to this restaurant. Its always hard finding vegetarian versions of your favourite dishes but I might even enjoy this more than the usual meat based broths. Oji seichi uses a mushroom based stock that's creamy, flavourful, hearty, and thick. It's packed with nicely charred mushrooms and peppers. 100/10. Egg is perfect as well. Enjoy this with their homemade chili oil and you have one of the best meals to enjoy on a rainy day. Another dish we really enjoyed was the tempura vegetables. I love how light yet crispy the batter was. This was paired with a sweet mustard which was new to me but surprisingly made sense. Must order!

    Oji Seichi is my favorite ramen spot in Toronto. The menu's consistently great, there's really no bad choice here, and the vibe feels authentic from the moment you walk in. The staff is attentive and we didn't have to wait too long for service. Their smoky chili oil is a standout; I always add some on top for an extra kick. If you're after top-tier ramen in the city, Oji Seichi should be at the top of your list.

    Shio ramen
    Victoria P.

    Their shio ramen is delicious! The price is a little higher for portion size compared to other ramen restaurants but you can tell they make their food with LOVE. The pork is so tender and the slight grilling gave a nice smokey taste. You can tell the noodles are fresh, the egg was jammy and marinated to perfection! Do I think about the egg on the daily? Always. The waitress also provided amazing service, she was helpful and went above and beyond without interfering with our meal. The space is really modern, clean and bright! Also I want to mention they have the best playlist?? This is my partner and I's new favourite ramen joint

    Despite the seating in the space being really limited, the counter offers a good alternative and we had no issue enjoying our meal. It was fantastic! The flavors, textures and options are exactly what you would need for a staple and solid bowl of ramen. Bonus points for the staff being incredibly kind and accommodating, we had to wait a bit but it was very much worth it!!

    Located in the heart of East Chinatown, Oji is one of the few restaurants that is helping to modernize the area. We spoke to one of the owners and found out they kept previous Chinese BBQ restaurant signage as a way to pay homage and keep a memory of the old Chinatown. The food was delicious and service was great. The decor is very modern and clean. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

    Came here for their pop up dinner collab with Rurubaked! It was a little out of the way on the east end but close to bridgepoint hospital so not too far out! The tempura corn made the summer salad delish although it was a small salad. The mazemen ramen was also super flavourful with black garlic and Japanese eggplant. We really liked how the vinegar flavors came though. Tbh I wasn't sure if I would have liked non soupy ramen but this was quite delicious! Definitely slurped that one up!! The shansho and sour Japanese plum sundae was okayyy. I thought the milk crumble was too crunchy and hard and the shansho didn't sit too well w me. It's definitely a distinct taste!! Overall the portions were kind of small for the $65pp menu but I'm glad to have tried it and glad to be able to support small businesses! Hopefully the other offerings in store are more reasonably priced! :))

    Shrimp Sandy
    David Y.

    I'm not much of a soup guy so can't really tell how different the broth is at Oji Seichi (seemed tastier to me than other ramen spots, but what do I know). That said, I've had noodles all my life and am confident in saying this place has one of the tastiest and most distinct noodles I've had in any ramen shop. I mean, I don't know exactly what or why or how, but wow, those were tasty! Only complaint with the shoyu ramen we got was I would have liked more filling (pork belly, egg) for the price. Also got the shrimp sandy and onion rings. The shrimp patty was thick and tasty, though I thought the bun was too soft for my liking (my wife loved it though and said it was super soft and pillowy). The onion rings though were OMG amazing. Why a ramen shop would have these great onion rings is beyond me. But they were sweet, not overly coated, and nice and crispy. Overall service was friendly and efficient. Will definitely be back!

We ordered takoyaki and 2 ramen - I had the regular Tori Paitan while my partner had the God Fire (level 2). You had the option to customize your bowl from beginning to end - from softness of the noodles, saltiness of the broth, extra toppings - this place really reminded me of the local ramen spots we went to when we were in Japan.

The broth for both ramen came out very flavourful and I will say - while my partner loves spicy food and I do not... I cannot imagine what level 4 would taste like, level 2 definitely had a kick! The staff were amazing and navigated a small space so well. We really enjoyed our dinner - we were in and out within an hour. I'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend!

My friend had the King of Kings as our server said this is one of their most popular choices. I opted for the Spicy Charsu. Now I understand some people can't handle heat but I live off of Purple Tongue hot sauce which is made with some pretty hot peppers. I asked for a level one and the lady explained that the spice level on the Charsu was a whole series of levels higher than the King of Kings. I get that . Give me the heat. Anywho, she was comfortable with giving me 0.5 but said I could make it hotter if need be. Ok, better to start smaller I guess. They put some sauce on the side which I added to my bowl. Personally I found the 0.5 a nice tingle; it was good. Made my nose run. But I'm totally getting the level 1 next time. My friend however tried a sip of my broth, spit it out and said poison poison because of the heat Mind you, his King of Kings was a level 1. Which to me tasted creamy and delicious. I love a good pork bone soup and I opted for the Spicy Charsu because of the pork bone base. I loved the broth. It was perfection. The noodles were so fresh . The portion size was enormous. I kept eating and more noodles appeared. The Charsu had an amazing flavor to it . Smoky and delicious . My friend is a larger man and even he commented on the portion size saying he would be ok with a smaller size as he was so full. Good portions for your money. We also had the Gyoza and the TakoYaki. The TakoYaki was soft and loaded with the delicious sauce. The Gyoza were enormous. We were both 100% satisfied with our visit and will be back for sure.

It was a larger bowl than their regular size and my ramen came topped with lots of corn, some mushrooms, bean sprouts and 6 large pieces of chasu. The broth was magma red, but it was not as spicy as I thought it would be. Don't get me wrong, it was spicy but not to the point where it would warrant a warning. The spicy broth tasted like a mix of Buldak sauce and Capsaicin, but didn't have much depth. I finished my ramen, broth and all and enjoyed most of the experience. The least favorite was the chasu and the egg as chasu did not taste fresh, and I could not taste the char on them at all. The egg was over-cooked and under marinated which was disappointing. It's still one of the few ramen options in Durham but can't say it's comparable to the other Kenzo locations.

I've…read morebeen disappointed by countless bowls over the years, from Michelin-recommended shops in New York to overhyped social media darlings that make you wonder whether the people promoting them have ever had truly great tonkotsu ramen. Konjiki is good, far from great, but very solid. The broth has the right consistency with a satisfying richness, falling just a touch short of the deep, creamy intensity I personally look for. The noodles were cooked perfectly, maintaining just the right amount of bite. Nothing ruins a bowl of ramen faster than overcooked noodles. The soft-boiled egg was equally well executed, with a perfectly jammy center, and the chashu had excellent flavor and texture. My biggest criticism isn't what's missing....it's what's added. Like many ramen shops outside Japan, Konjiki includes pickled ginger, pickled takana, and braised bamboo shoots. For me, none of them improve the bowl. In fact, I think they distract from what should be the star of the show: the broth. In hindsight, I could have easily asked for them to be left out, but I've never really understood why they're included in the first place. Even so, this is a very respectable bowl of tonkotsu ramen and one I'd happily order again.

One miss this time was that my friend ordered a drink, but unfortunately it did not come out at all while we ate. We mentioned it when asking for our bill and asked that it just be cancelled, which the server was apologetic about. Interior is kept clean, which some table seating along both walls and also a long high-top bar (communal) in the middle.
