Beautiful weather on a Friday night, and looking for that type of comfort food after coming back from the holidays. Then there's Ikkousha Ramen.
Ikkousha Ramen
249 Queen St W, Toronto
A ramen joint I've been meaning to dine for the past few weeks now. I've stopped by a couple of times but always changed my mind with the wait time. Luckily I got to get into the shop with ease tonight. The interior was cool with wallpaper, and the locations they have worldwide. Even though it's quite busy the place still had great service and food came out fast.
What I find interesting about this place is how you can choose the texture of the noodles, and saltiness of your ramen. Right off the bat, it reminds me of someone who would love this. .
First, Karage. Three huge pieces of crispy, but moist small fried chicken. The meat was really tender and came with this salt that brings in more flavour to the chicken. If this is your first time in this joint. I would recommend it on the side.
Then the Black Tonkotsu. So much I can say of this big bowl of ramen. I can definitely say it would rival my favourite ramen bowls in Toronto. I asked for the complete toppings to make this visit worth the visit. it included Seaweed, Cha Shu, and Egg.
Once that bowl of ramen is brought to you. Your ramen senses come tingling as it hits you with that beautiful smell of the broth. You can't help but pray. Pray to the ramen gods on thankful for this beautiful ramen. The smell was so fragrant, it is not your ordinary black Tonkotsu. The dark rich fatty broth that is still light to your stomach. Then comes the noodles that had a pasta chewy like texture. .
Then, at last, the delicious deli slice Cha Shu. Well, season meat reminds me of Cha Shu slices at Konjiki. Lastly, that egg is served whole. However, once you bite into it comes a burst of custard yolk that was just Delicious.
Overall, it's a great ramen experience. I would say it's one of the top ramen spots by Queen Street. .
