Restaurant Review: Oodles of Noodles, Ramen!

By Mayuka Fukuwa

Do you know which dish Japanese are really crazy about? Teriyaki? No way! Sushi? Well…not really. The food that Japanese queue for is RAMEN!

Ramen is a kind of thin noodle which is served with some toppings and a special soup. Ramen is originally from China, but the Japanese have been changing it for a long time, so it is different from the Chinese one now. You might have eaten instant ramen, but I can tell you, it's different! Once you eat ramen made by hand, you will know what real Japanese ramen is.
You can find such interesting food near our school. Kenzo Ra-men at 138 Dundas Street West sells several kinds of ramen and you can enjoy a meal from as little as $7.

As with many Japanese restaurants, this one is owned and run by Korean owners, but the ramen is just like the real Japanese kind! The cheapest is Shi-o Ramen at $5.95 before tax, and the most expensive is Sapporo miso ramen, a speciality of the city after which it is named and famous all over Japan at $8.95.

If you like spicy food, they have some spicy ramen as well! The shop is not so huge, but it is clean and comfortable. You can enjoy many kinds of food in Toronto, so how about trying Japanese food, not only sushi but Ramen!
