One of my fave spots for ramen - love how the different ramen bases are ones you can only really get here! It's a smaller restaurant that's very quiet and cozy, service there has always been great! Always look forward to eating here
Their food was fairly underwhelming especially for the price. Although the ramen and broth was good, it definitely wasn't worth the price given there are so many other ramen options in the area. Also, the skewers didn't really add to the dish. They seemed greasy and overly blackened. One meat dish also said it came with sweet potato fries but they were actually chips which were also underwhelming. At the end of the day everything was just fine and borderline of blah. Wouldn't really recommend.
We haven't been here since renovation but as soon as we walked in, we thought we were having omakese because of the bar seats at the front. I was on IG and saw their beef brisket ramen but realized it was only limited edition lol The restaurant wasn't too busy for a weekend so it wasn't too loud. Servers were attentive. Got the miso ramen and mazesoba. The mazesoba portion was surprising huge and tasty! The miso ramen was quite salty and not to my liking. I think i'll stick with their tori paitan next time.
We've been to Ramen Yutaka for a few years, since before they had their initial renovation (around COVID?), so I'm a little surprised myself I'm writing this review now . All I can say is this ramen shop is a hidden gem. They don't go crazy promoting themselves on social media, but they are still busy every time we go. They recently changed their menu (I got too excited and forgot to take a picture), but they featured a coffee infused ramen, and some sort of yuzu ramen, along with a soy milk tan tan ramen. I went for my usual, which is the shoyu chicken ramen. They used to give a skewer of grilled chicken thigh with your order, but has since changed to sous vide chicken and 2 strips of pork belly which I actually prefer! Ths prices are comparable to other big ramen places, but their broth is definitely more flavourful, and the toppings are actually enough for you to finish the noodles. Low key, I want to keep this restaurant to myself, but they are too good!
Clean environment, nice service. Food wise, I had better. Overall 2.5 stars at best. Will I come back, most likely not. We order the Ungai Toro,(fried eel taco), is different but a bit salty for my liking. Earl Grey ramen is mediocre, can taste the earl grey, but the Ungai Toro flavour cover the ramen flavour, so it felt blend. And the last one we order is the Shio ramen. Clear broth and again, blend taste. For that price, many selection. Is an easy pass for repeat. ($83 after tax, discount (10% off when pay cash and tips)
I loved it here. Rarely do I see ramen places that specialize in chicken skewers. They also have pork if you like the traditional ramen. My favourite type of noodles - the thinner ones. The broth was full of flavour and it was a unique flavour, that again, you usually don't have featured in your traditional ramen stores - truffle oil. I was pleasantly surprised that it didnt make the broth too greasy for me. I gave it a five star instead of a four star only because Im biased regarding chicken skewers - and this one was so good, so juicy and tender. One complaint I would have is it didn't come with an egg . I wasn't aware so I didn't even order one for the soup. My friend's soup was a spicy one. It was also really good. He says that he frequently visits this place. For me, this ramen place gets the pass. I would recommend this restaurant to my family, friends, and strangers.
We're glad we stumbled across this place on the weekend, thanks to Yelp. My first impression of this restaurant was the minimalist decor, simple and comfortable. There aren't too many table seatings but you can also sit at their bar table. We arrived before 7pm on a Sunday and it wasn't busy. We ordered a Shio Chintan Ramen, Tori Paitan Ramen, Unagi taco, Chashu Don (small add on). This was enough food for two adults and a toddler. The Shio Ramen and Unagi Taco was delicious. Owners were really friendly. Would definitely recommend this place!
What a great hidden gem in aurora! Came here on a saturday evening with a girlfriend and was able to snatch a seat no problem! Lots of unique japanese ramen options including dry and soupy options. I tried the tan tan and i loved the soup base! It was nutty and flavorful. I believe all the ramen comes with a chicken skewer - it was juicy and tender! The decor of this restaurant was a modern clean minimalist japanese vibe!
It's our first time dining out in 2022 so we were excited. And it was a windy (snowy because of the wind) Saturday so a bowl of hot ramen just makes sense. We went at about 13 which is the time it just opened so it's not busy and we were essentially the first and only customers at one point. 2-3 chef/kitchen staff and 1 wait staff. We opt for an original white chicken soup $15.5 and miso ramen $16.5. Feels like inflation is crazy cuz last time I had a bowl of ramen was perhaps $12-14. Or maybe I haven't eaten ramen in a while that I don't know the price now. Also I saw some old menus the ramen came with both chicken and pork belly but not anymore, the pork belly is extra, so the ingredients and toppings in the ramen is decreasing on top of the price increases. The food came quickly but it's so sad it's in a plastic takeout bowl and plastic utensils which I hate because I really want a full dine in experience after staying at home for so long, otherwise I would have chosen a takeout. I understand because of Covid, maybe hygiene reason maybe cost reason, but it's just sad and disappointing. In terms of the food I think it's fair. Soup is a bit too salty imo especially the miso one it almost feels like a tsukemen. The miso soup base is also a bit sweeter than the regular white chicken soup. The noodles comes in one size only and it is home made. It is al dente and has the wheat flavor so it's good. The sous vide chicken was alright, soft and tender, normal thickness and comes with three pieces. We ordered pork belly as extra toppings and those are too thin. The ramen also comes with very few toppings, only bamboo shoot, black fungus, some wakame, some green onion. It doesn't even come with an egg. The bill, after 10% off if paid in cash, is still almost $40. Bottom line: I prefer Sansotei but it's further south in Markham. Since Aurora and Newmarket have limited ramen options, I may still get it if I super crave for ramen.
Pretty busy restaurant but they only open from Thursdays-Sundays. They don't have many large tables so if you come in a group of more than 4, u might have to wait a bit. All ramen came with a chicken skewer that sits on top of the bowl so it doesn't get soggy which was nice lol Ramen was good but I don't think it was worth the 18-19$. Egg was extra charge on the side. They have 10% discount for cash payment :) But overall still pricey for the ramen that was mid.
Yeah this is probably my favourite Ramen place! This was sooooooo good. Really quick and friendly service and it's a well maintained restaurant. Definitely coming back for more, this was amazing. I love the atmosphere and i'm intrigued to try more of the food. 5/5
A wonderful place on the 404 and Wellington. Super accessible in Aurora - with plenty of parking. We were shopping at Upper Canada mall and decided to close off the day with dinner here. They ask you to write one name and a phone number for contact tracing and take your temperature at the the door. They're offering a 15% discount for cash payment. We ordered the mazesoba and a spicy miso ramen. I personally really enjoyed the noodle. It was chewy and well seasoned. My mom thought the noodles were a bit hard for her and would have preferred a pork base instead of a chicken base. Most of the options on the menu are tori (chicken) base so the flavour is a bit lighter than pork. We did feel it was slightly more on the expensive side but given the current market conditions, it was understandable. The service was amazing though. A well run ramen place for those that like a simple tori experience.
wow. Never expected Aurora to have such amazing ramen! I was craving some ramen and found this ramen spot at Aurora that had pretty good rating so I gave it a try. Their ramen is a bit unique with a skewer as the meat rather than the usual char siu. The skewer was amazing! It was flavourful and complimented really well with the ramen broth. I got the red oil ramen and it was just the right amount of spice. We also got a sashimi platter for appetizer and the fish was super fresh. Would highly recommend coming here!
Tips: - The yuzu oat miso ramen is divine and oh-so special. Get it! It comes with both pork belly and chicken. Last Saturday, after a trying week and a not-so-pleasant experience at a ramen joint in Vaughan, I craved ramen with better customer service. I decided to carve some time out to drive north to Aurora to find a ramen place that offered comforting food. I did a search. I found Ramen Yutaka. I had bookmarked it. I needed to go. This eatery is located between Plates and Bowls, and Lee Chen in a plaza that I am familiar with. I've been to the former, along with Best Buy and Swiss Chalet in the vicinity. I had no problem finding a parking spot. I backed into an available one and walked into the restaurant. I was immediately greeted by a friendly woman. She said that I could sit anywhere, so I sat at a two-seater table. Another male staffer came over with tapas, sushi, and ramen menus. I wanted ramen, so I focused on that menu. Service is stellar at this place. The female staffer came over to ask if I had any questions. I didn't. She did say that on the ramen menu, the first few items were clear broths. The ones that were further down were creamy ones. I liked that the creamy broths were dairy-free, thanks to oat beverage being used. Nice! This place doesn't distinguish ramen with pork belly versus ramen with chicken. You get both! You get sous-vide chicken and roasted pork belly with the ramen broth of your choice. The ramen varieties are creative and unique. Seeing coffee and yuzu as ramen options piqued my interest. I ordered the following items: - Coke zero - Gyoza - Yuzu oat miso For the yuzu oat miso, I asked that the bamboo shoots be held. The woman asked if I wanted an egg. Without hesitation, I said yes. Both staffers were exceptionally detailed and attentive. She asked whether I wanted ice in my Coke zero. I said yes. I got water to start. It was much needed after spending my day running errands. I also ended my meal with it. My Coke zero had arrived. It was in a glass with ice. So refreshing! My gyoza were ready. They all looked yummy and the plating was pretty. The filling was pork and was delicious. The dumplings were pan-fried and had the perfect crispiness on the bottom. The house-made vinaigrette was so good. If it were ever sold in bottles, I'd get some. My ramen came out next. It looked good. I liked that only a bit of the roasted seaweed was in the broth. It was a nice touch as opposed to getting completely soggy roasted seaweed right off the bat. The yuzu provided a nice, subtle citrusy flair with the miso broth. I liked the oat beverage for a creamy, luxurious broth that was so good. I nearly finished it, but I was so full that I left maybe five spoonfuls of it. It was such an elegant bowl of happiness. It came with a sweet tofu rectangle that was heaven. I also liked the spinach that seemed to be wrapped in a rectangle. Unravelling it was fun! The roasted pork belly was a thick cut. It was flavourful. I throughly enjoyed it. This place specializes in chicken. I got three sous-vide slices that were so tender. If I didn't have any teeth, it wouldn't have been a problem eating them. They were so tender. I want more just thinking about it. The jammy egg was perfect. You get an entire egg. It was so perfect with this entire bowl of ramen. The ramen was on the slightly thick side, which made this bowl exceptionally comforting. They were chewy and so good. I slurped them down and was so happy. The yuzu oat miso is so special. I let the male server know that everything was superb. This ramen was $24. Yes, it's on the higher side of the scale. However, you get a lot of protein and everything is of good quality. I'd happily go back and get it again. I used the washroom before I left. There are two individual stalls. The one that I used was clean and spacious. Both staffers thanked me for coming. I wished them a great day and happily walked out with a belly full of goodness. Stellar customer service. That ramen joint in Vaughan can take notes from this eatery on how to improve in this area. I needed this meal. My week ended on a high note. Yay! If you're in Aurora, you are lucky to have this eatery. It's worth the drive for delicious, high-quality, tasty ramen. (448) read more
A great Ramen place in Aurora! The broth was very tasty without being all salty-we were prepared to add water to the broth (like we do for many places) but there was not need since the it was not MSG soup. The protein and noodles were all fresh. It is a bit on the pricy side ($22 and $24) but at least they delivered with a quality product and good service! read more

I would rate this a 3.5 stars if I could. We ordered the Tori Paitan Ramen Black Oil ($14.50) and the Mazesoba ($18.50) to go. We added egg to the Toru Paitan because ramen isn't complete without the egg in our opinion! Honestly, before eating the dishes, we were quite disappointed in the portions. On the menu, the Mazesoba says, "*SUPER TANK SIZE)*", so that made us think it was a large bowl. However, there was very little in the take out bowl. It was smaller than a regular size, in our opinion. The Tori Paitan was average size for a take out ramen. The taste in the other hand is very good. The Tori Paitan soup broth was very flavourful and not too salty. I did fund the chicken to be salty though. The egg was perfectly marinated and cooked just how we like it. The Mazesoba has no soup and was tasty as well. We've never had a ramen that tasted like that. We liked how different it was. Just really wish it came with more food. Overall, the taste is superb but the portions are lacking. We wouldn't be in a rush to come back for that reason. It just didn't make us full. read more

Had tori paitan ramen. The stock was chicken stock, with a lighter taste than the usual pork. It was super creamy. It came with chicken breast which was very tender. Upsized the ramen so I could get chashu (pork belly) & the egg. Chashu was decent. The egg was cooked well - it was still gooey inside; the taste was OK. The noodles were OK read more

Omgggg Ramen Yutaka is definitely my NEW favourite ramen spot right now :D It is so worth the drive up to my old neighbourhood! They are the 1st ramen place in GTA to offer quality, delicious chicken broth soup base (not pork!) and buckwheat ramen noodles that are all made entirely in-house! Definitely much healthier than what we are normally used to having! There are two types of broth and ramen noodles here: 1. Tori paitan aka a white chicken broth, which is creamy and flavourful. It pairs well with their al dente, low water content, thin, white ramen noodles; 2. A clear chicken broth, which is light and refreshing (and very hard to make!). It pairs especially well with their specialty buckwheat ramen noodles! * Each bowl comes with seasonal toppings, and marinated sous-vide chicken breast & pork shoulder! * Be sure to also order the Braised Torched Pork Belly (3 pcs for $4.99) * Flavoured Egg ($1.50 each, does not include in the ramen bowl) also very tasty * The homemade Karaage aka fried chicken is definitely a must order (5pcs for $4.99 or 10pcs for $8.98)! Ramen Yutaka also offers limited edition items from time to time! Recently, they had an ebi (shrimp) soba, only had 20 bowls that day and it was a hit! So jelly, I do want to try that too D: Can't wait to come back again! read more
Came here on a weekday night and the restaurant was pretty busy. I like the clean interior and parking was not a problem as there were plenty of spaces. I haven't had such a delicious bowl of ramen in a while, if you are a ramen lover then this place is definitely worth the drive here! They make everything including the broth and noodles in-house. Besides ramen, their gyoza and fried chicken is a must try! I will definitely be back again to try their limited time weekend specials. read more
Came here on a quiet weekday and the restaurant was clean and customers socially distanced. I tried their signature creamy chicken broth which was really good - just thick enough but not too overpowering. The sous vide chicken breast was nothing special but I mean it's as good as chicken breast can get. I was a bit disappointed that it didn't come with egg but you can add it for an additional cost. Would recommend if you like chicken broth! read more
Hoping for more--got less instead. Stopped in for my usual Shoyu Ramen only to find it is missing the egg, pork belly and possibly something else. However, the price was kept intact at a disappointing $14.99. So add back the egg and the pork belly as add-ons and you are up to a $22 soup. Soup! Meanwhile, Ippon Ramen and Kuma Ramen in Newmarket are blowing away Yutaka. And that's where you will find me from now on... read more

Ordered a Tan Tan Noodles. It came with a yakitori (chicken skewer). The broth was good. It was a bit spicy and yet a bit sweet. There were seaweed, bamboo shoots, scallions and a touch of peanut chunks in the noodles. Noodles however, was not as chewy as I had expected. The portion was in Japanese style, not too big. The skewer tasted good though! read more

Typically not a huge fan of ramen but decided to give this restaurant a try and was not disappointed. The restaurant was clean, brightly lit and had plenty of spacious seatings for various group sizes. Best part of all received a nice warm welcome greeting from the staff on the way in and also out. We ordered different ramen noodles and appetizers to share. First thing I noticed was they offered clear chicken broth which most other places are usually just pork broth. Apparently they spend countless days to prepare their home made broth to ensure it's freshness and taste. I like spicy so also tried the other spectrum taste a try and was a good choice. The spicy level was just perfect, not overly spicy to cover the original broth yet still provided spicy lovers a nice little kick. Meat portions that came with the noodles were also very generous. Chicken was extremely tender as it was sous vide cooked. A must order also is there Fried Chicken Karaage. Was perfectly cooked and not overly battered compared to other raman places I've tried. Fried Chicken dumplings were lightly golden fried and was a nice compliment to the meal. Overall was very satisfied with the service and quality of this Ramen place. Too bad they don't have other locations as it is kinda far from where I live still. However a must visit if you are in the area or wanna venture there. read more
Stumbled upon this place on my social media and decided to grab a friend and adventure out to Aurora from Mississauga, because you know i AM willing to travel for good food! So i heard they make their noodles and soup base from scratch sourcing ingredients from Japan, and they are the only ramen place here that specializes in chicken broth soup base. What we ordered: Potato croquettes Chicken gyoza Chicken karaage 10 pieces Spicy miso ramen Weekend special ramen Add on: seasoned eggs, pork shoulder, seaweed All the appetizers are really good. I love how crispy the gyozas are. Ordered the 10 piece karaage and saved a few bucks. (6piece $4.99;10piece $5.98). The spicy miso is a very thick soup base, which was not what i was expecting, if I'd knew, i might have tried something else as i like slurping my noddles with soup. But the flavours are great. Also reflected my preference to the chef and WOW does he take me seriously *heart* He tried to challenge himself in improving the soup so that its not as thick but not diminish any of the flavours. Now I left him with that challenge and he said he will play around with it and tell me the findings next time i visit. I CANT WAIT!!! Ordered the seasoned egg for both ramens, and after the first bite, we both stared at each other and WOW-ed lol i totally understand why they charge extra for it. Its not your regular soft boiled egg, you can taste the seasoning even in the yolk!!! Worth every penny. And OMG the weekend special was out of the world. I cant even start to describe the flavours as I've never had a soup like that even in Japan. But even the owners don't know when it'll come back next, so I'm not gna speak too much about it. Just gotta keep checking their IG and try your luck lol also want to mention that the chicken breast included in the bowl of ramen was lean but not dry at all. Very enjoyable. Still need to try the popular pork belly add on as they were sold out that night. That's it for now, until next time ;) read more

Tori Paitan + Black Oil . Taste : 8/10 Price : $14.99 + tax Worth it: 8/10 . Now before you judge the photo for bubbly broth¿ did you know that the richer the broth, the more bubbly it is? I don't normally travel to Aurora for food, but after hearing about @ramen.yutaka too many times on IG, I knew this was worth checking out. The Tori Paitan features this restaurant's signature chicken broth which is creamy and rich in flavour. Although I wish the ramen came with a marinated egg free of charge, I think the trip for this food was still worth considering the few ramen shops specializing in chicken broth ramen. read more

The interior of this restaurant is clean and modern and seats around 30 people. The staff greeted us and were very knowledgeable about all their products. They explained the different options and that everything was made in-house. They have a special every month that is limited to 20 bowls a day. One of the first things we noticed as soon as we sat down was that they use disposable wooden chopsticks. As a nice sit down restaurant this definitely threw me off especially when it's for ramen!! The tori paitan is their classic chicken broth ramen. It was a very simple and clean tasting broth. I like the crispy burdock that they add to garnish as it gave the meal some texture. The chicken was sous vide which made it very tender but it needed more flavor or fat. The pork that came with it was nice and fatty so even though it was sous vide it was still delicious. The super black tank has some pork broth mixed in. It had much more meat, an egg, and nori that really added to the overall dish. I think they could have at least added nori to the tori paitan as it was a little too simple. The karaage was very juicy and fried very well! Overall, I understand that the chicken broth is supposed to be a lighter yet still rich version of ramen but I definitely prefer a pork based broth which is richer and more flavorful. read more

Find this new hidden gem in Aurora! This ramen place specializes in Chicken based broth - which is really refreshingly light yet very flavourful. I'd say it's even more delicious than the usual pork broth. Noodles are perfectly between thick and thin, chewy and made al dente. The perfect combination as it absorbs the well-seasoned soup. Less fattening, less oil, no msg, all ingredients (including the ramen noodles) are made in house. Ordered: Chicken white soup ramen, chicken white soup + black oil, chicken gyoza, chicken karaage (so good, they use chicken thighs), potato croquettes. All ramen orders comes with pork shoulder, chicken breast (so soft and tender, it falls off) and toppings. Highly recommend if you are in the area! Great service, great atmosphere, excellent food. read more

Best ramen I've had - not heavy because of the chicken broth and the chicken skewer was amazing. read more

The menu was simple and not with a lot of options; which is the way a ramen shop should have. The decor was also a reflection of this simple and minimalistic restaurant. Love how they use bags of flour as decor. They also show their noodle making device close to the entrance. Soup was great and flavourful. Noodles were chewy. Initally felt weird that they have buckwheat noodles for their shoyu ramen; but that noodle was so chewy that it felt like I was eating egg noodle ramen. Pork belly was so so. It wasnt crispy like how they would normally crisp it up with a torch gun. It was just really fat. The chicken broth ramen used a thin white noodle like somen. It came with the same pork belly and a piece of chicken breast. There was nothing special about the chicken breast. It was boiled to the right softness but nothing particular about its flavour. Karage's flavour were great. It was one of the more flakey one I have tried. Slightly dissapointed that none of the noodles were actually ramen in a ramen shop. But overall the noodles still tastes great. Hence the four stars. I would definitely come back. read more
Within York Region, this is a really quality ramen shop! They make their own ramen fresh daily in house and their chicken broth is light and has no MSG. Pretty good combo. They still have yet to have their grand opening as they continue to try different feature ramen combos. The interior is fresh and clean with natural wood theme. At the front there is an area sectioned off to make their ramen noodles. I ordered their signature standard ramen with chicken broth and added an egg and bamboo shoots. The broth is very light and "healthy" feeling compared to the usual pork-base thick broths (Tonkotsu). I personally would prefer thicker and more chewy noodles. The chicken breast was good for chicken breast but really tough compared to pork belly. I wished the toppings were served warm instead of cold so my soup could stay hot longer. Overall this is a very solid ramen spot especially in York Region! read more

Two thumbs up to the server who took the time to thoroughly explain the menu and lunch special on our first visit here. Currently (soft open) the menu says that the ramen dishes come with chicken, pork shoulder, and "various toppings". Eventually they should list the toppings for each ramen bowl. The ramen looks monochromatic and I hope they introduce more variety for the toppings. We ordered the tori paitan and tori paitan with red spicy oil. They were essentially the same bowl of ramen but one bowl had chilli oil. The original tori paitan was much better - the chicken broth was smooth and tasty. The noodles are made there and I really enjoyed them. Price point was standard for ramen in this area. Looking forward to seeing their grand opening menu. read more
