Anyone have good ramen recommendations?
My go to is Tsukuyomi ... the original store on Saint-Laurent/Fairmount. Went there when they first opened and loved their miso ramen. Been going back ever since and it's consistently still good. They opened two branch stores on Bishop and in Saint-Laurent but haven't been, so can't vouch for them. Yokato Yokabai's tonkotsu ramen on Drolet was similarly very good when they first opened but to me, their quality and consistency have dropped over time. A number of chain ramen shops from Toronto have opened up in Montreal (Sansotei, Kinton, etc.) but haven't been overly impressed to date.
Basically, it comes down to who makes the ramen broth and with what ingredients. It's the basis for a hearty and satisfying ramen. If the broth is weak or unmemorable, then the noodles and toppings can't save the bowl.
If any of you are in the Toronto area, highly recommend Santouka ramen, the Dundas St. branch two minutes from the Eaton Centre. Entirely Japanese run and a branch of the ramen chain from Hokkaido, Japan. 10/10 experience with their miso ramen.
