    Spicy Chicken Ramen.
    Glen B.

    I don't know if I can add anything that hasn't already been said in other reviews. I was meeting my nephew here for a guys night out. Parking was easy one block south, but that's kind of disturbing because this is Whyte Ave on a Saturday evening. It was pretty quiet out there. The restaurant did fill up for an hour or so. We started with Hamachi Sashimi. It is from a fish called yellowtail. It was so tasty. I don't understand why cooked fish tastes so fishy but sashimi doesn't taste fishy at all. We then each ordered ramen. I had Spicy Chicken Ramen. Delicious and quite spicy. My nephew ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen and he looked quite satisfied with it. We washed it down with Asahi beer. The server was attentive but never intrusive. What's not to like? The only problem was that I thought it was located in Allendale but if they were there they are gone now. They are located in the old Hospital For The Incurables (really it was called that - read the plaque by the front door). Once I knew that that is the location I was there in five minutes from Allendale. I'll be back and can easily give five stars.

    Tofu and vegetable ramen. Where are my vegetables?

    We frequent Tokyo Noodle Shop because we dine very late (usually after 9pm) and their hours work for us. This isn't however the best place in the city to get sushi and I feel like the quality over the years is slowly going down. We ordered a few veggie rolls which were mediocre and consisted mainly of rice. We also got two bowls of the vegetable and tofu ramen with house made noodles. The photo on the menu looked beautiful with a bounty of fresh vegetables. I was pretty disappointed when our soup arrived with a few curls of green onions. Where were my broccoli, carrots, bok choy, peppers and sprouts? The noodles were nice but this dish was sorely disappointing. The restaurant is really cold and the chairs are ridiculously heavy. I know that seems like an odd thing to write, but you can actually hardly move them in and out of the table. The company I was dining with was pleasant so I wrote off the underwhelming menu but when I got home reflected that this was actually quite a poor experience.

    Geisha roll - very worth it!

    Came here with a friend for supper - no wait time which was nice. Waitress was attentive and courteous. Service was also quite quick! My friend and I decided to try the rolls since the noodle dishes seemed to get mixed reviews. So we ordered a black and red dragon roll, along with a geisha roll. Honestly...The dragon rolls were alright...Really nothing too special. However, the geisha roll was pretty good. It's also cheaper. Make sure you check side cards on the table, cause that's where we looked. Overall, I do like the fact that it's quite convenient. I might try the other dishes like the unagi rice etc. But unless I have a sudden sushi craving and want something within minutes walking distance, I might explore my options. FYI: when we grabbed the chairs they were so heavy! I thought I was dragging a boulder...

    It looks like a tiny restaurant but as you walk in it's a pretty large space. This is the third time I have been to this location and the staff is a hit or miss in friendliness. Today the server was extremely attentive and friendly but I was so hungry I could have chewed her arm off regardless of her demeanour. Since sitting down I counted about five doordash delivery orders. The ramen I ordered came extremely quickly piping hot and just like the photograph. The salmon maki wasn't as fresh as I would have liked. I also wished they had low sodium soy sauce available. Definitely a great place for a quick decent meal.

    This Japanese is located on busy Whyte Avenue and one the long standing Japanese restaurants that have stood the test of time in Edmonton. I find the sashimi very fresh here and the prices on the menu are not unreasonable. I came here with a friend on a Tuesday at about 4:30pm for an early dinner. We were greeted by a friendly server who with a pleasant smile. It wasn't overly busy at this point but there were 3 other tables occupied. We ordered the takoyaki, rainbow roll and the assorted 18 piece sashimi. All dishes were beautifully presented and the sashimi tasted fresh. I was satisfied with my whole experience and will be back.

    The portions of sashimi is the biggest in Edmonton

    Since trying out different japanese places to eat, this is probably the only place I always go back to and won't get sick of. I have a very picky man at home who likes his sushi made a specific way, and the staff and chef's there are willing to accomodate his needs and sometimes even go far and beyond to meet them to make sure we're happy. Also their ramen bowls are absolutely amazing and so is their udon bowls. I haven't had a chance to try out their rice bowls but you can be sure to see me around there again trying out all their dishes on the menu.

    We wanted to try ramen but Ninja Club was closed so we ended up here! We all ended up ordering ramen. I ordered a bowl of pork ramen. It tasted decent. It is not comparable to Vancouver's ramen, but passible! The pork slices were lean and tasted good. I did not like the fact that you have to pay $2 for a soft boiled egg. It should be standard rather than the half hard boiled egg served. Overall, not quite authentic ramen, but pretty good for what it was. Server also failed to mention tea was extra when she asked what drink we wanted. She brought over a tea pot and everyone was charged for tea whether or not the person drank tea. For a noodle shop, the menu is more focused on the sushi and sashimi. There was udon as well. It would be amazing if the restaurant made all the noodles in house.

    Large dynamite rolls
    Priya K.

    I love that they have a number of different Japanese items on the menu such as ramen, sushi and udon. I went to try the ramen and the sushi. I got the pork ramen, this was great and flavorful. It comes with a half of a boiled egg, pork, green onion and corn. I also ordered 3 pieces of yellowtail sashimi, 3 pieces of toro and an order of large dynamite rolls. The sashimi was actually quite good but I found the rolls to be too big to eat (I like them more bite size). Overall the food was enjoyable, not too many great Japanese restaurants in Edmonton, but the service was terrible. The place was relatively busy but it took 15 minutes after we arrived before anyone took our order and 30 minutes after we arrived before we got a glass of water. They have lots of chefs but only two servers who move extremely slowly. If the service wasn't so terrible they could easily be a 4 for their food.

    This has been sitting in my drafts for over a year so I'll finally post this review. I am from Los…read moreAngeles and was visiting Edmonton for a week, so I asked locals on Reddit where I should eat and so many people recommended Tokiwa Ramen! In particular, my good friend from U of A gave high praise for Tokiwa and said it was the best ramen in the city, so I decided to give it a go. The first day I went, it was a busy Saturday morning, I got there 20 minutes before opening, and there was still a line that I had to wait in, so keep that in mind and prepare for that, get there early enough if it's a Saturday morning and you want to avoid waiting in line. The ramen was amazing, so flavorful, so nuanced, and I never had ramen quite like it before, it was the Yuzu Shio. So delicious, the service and staff was amazing as well. The second day I went was on a weekday around 1 PM and there was no wait that time, I was seated immediately. I had the Spicy Goma, and it was so good that I still am thinking about it even now, even while surrounded by all the ramen shops here in LA. The Spicy Goma was my favorite because I have a knack for spicy foods. Definitely try Tokiwa Ramen, it was one of my favorite eats while I was in Edmonton.

    That's great! It's the most expensive and impressive Japanese noodle restaurant I've ever been to…read more Unfortunately, there's no service because it's so busy. The noise and crowd are overwhelming.

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

    It is no secret that ramen has exploded in Edmonton and what was once an elusive cuisine is now…read moreentirely common. It's wonderful to have so many options available and one of those is Kazoku Ramen in the west end area of Glenwood. The Edmonton Food Faves We Crave 2022 list named this restaurant as one of their Favourite Date Night spots and I was very excited to find out how they compare to the other big ramen shops in town. Visiting on a Monday evening, the restaurant was busy and bustling, indicative of it's popularity. Almost every table remained occupied for the duration of my visit. The location isn't exactly the greatest part of the city, however you'll find them in a strip mall directly next door to perennial favourite Bucas & Pastas (have you had the pasticcio??). Kazoku is immediately recognizable by their red awning and this theming remained excellent on the inside. Stepping through the door the aroma of broth tantalized my senses and I couldn't wait to taste the food. My eye was drawn to the incredible mural on the wall, which I absolutely loved!! It's of a city skyline with an adorable cartoonish Godzilla eating a naruto (a type of fish cake). The artwork is striking and looks amazing with the red lanterns hanging throughout the restaurant and dark wooden beams. They've done a wonderful job of creating an amazing atmosphere that you wouldn't necessarily expect from a strip mall! Kazoku means family in Japanese and this family business strives to only serve food that they would serve to their own family. The focus is on authentic ramen made with the freshest ingredients, creating delicious melodies of tastes and colours. Our server was prompt and efficient but I did find her to be quite curt and uninterested in answering many questions or offering recommendations. I was happy to order a Japanese Cream Soda (Melon flavour soda with a scoop of vanilla ice cream - $6.50) to drink, a beverage that I've seen on Japanese menus before and was happy to find here. The colour alone is a lot of fun and we enjoyed slurping on the deep green liquid. The soda tasted sort of citrusy to me and not as much like melon. But when you get the ice cream in the mix it's all very sweet and joyful. (An ideal treat for kids.) Next, we grabbed an order of Edamame (Soy beans sprinkled with coarse sea salt - $4.50) because you can't go wrong with some tasty beans. Bright green, well-cooked, and nicely salted. We happily popped these into our mouths and enjoyed the tender beans within. Edamame always feels like snacking, except in a healthy way. The menu features several types of appetizers and tempura but I zeroed in on the Takoyaki (Fried wheat balls with octopus in the center topped with tonkatsu sauce, mayo, nori, bonito - $13.00), a favourite of mine. Complete with dancing bonito on top, these takoyaki balls appeared to be entirely legit. I am certain that the restaurant is using a specialized takoyaki pan, which is what creates their perfectly spherical shape. Biting into the golden-crispy balls, these were almost identical to what I'd experienced on the streets of Osaka. Crisp on the outside but very soft on the inside with a piece of tender octopus hidden within. The sauces on top added a lot of flavour as did the shaved bonito. These were really good and one of the highlights of the meal for me. Ramen, of course, is Kazoku's specialty and with twelve types on the menu they've got a ramen for everyone. Heavy to lighter broths are offered and the menu does a good job of describing the type of broth to expect in each. I couldn't help but notice some stark similarities between the ramen at Kazoku and the ramen offered at Japanese ramen chain Santouka (my favourite ramen of all-time), including the appearance of shio ramen (my favourite!). They also have a chili goma which I usually love, full of spicy chili oil. However, for my first visit I felt that I should experience the Kazoku (Char siu, full soft-boiled egg, nori, bamboo shoots, corn, black fungus, bean sprouts, toasted sesame, green onion, naruto - $18.50), the restaurant's namesake bowl. Unexpectedly, the server asked if we wanted pork belly or shoulder for our char siu and I have never encountered this option before. Looking for some guidance on which to choose, the server offered little (none) information on the difference between the two. We chose pork belly as that seemed to be the cut of char siu that we were more familiar with. Made with a lighter pork broth, the depth of flavour was alright but I did find myself longing for something a bit more robust. I wasn't all that impressed with the char siu overall. As a BBQ pork, I found the slices incredibly thin (they should be quite thick!) and completely lacking in caramelized BBQ char. The meat was underdone and full of wet, uncooked fat. The noodles were great; nice and loose and tender. The ajitama (egg) was nicely prepared with an ideal jammy yolk, although a bit more marinaded seasoning would have been
