Place is pretty good. I think the tonkotsu broth was one of the best I’ve ever tried but I wasn’t a huge fan of the noodles. Also - I ordered extra pork belly and got 3 slices.. kinda stingy. The gyoza was completely flavourless so I wouldn’t recommend that. Our service was good, no complaints. Overall it’s like a 3.8/5 lol. Decent spot, nothing crazy.

My most favourite Ramen restaurant in Toronto. Great service and foods, and nice servers. The price is adequately reasonable and definitely would eat again.

A nice place with good ramen options! I love that they have vegan options as well, which my friend got. I got the yuzu shio ramen, which was pretty good! Not something I’ve seen elsewhere and I was very happy with it. The price is not too high and the portions are decent. I will say I enjoyed the ramen more than the sides (we stuck to vegetarian sides), but I would like to come back here and try some different ones! Overall a decent place that I would recommend!

I’ve been meaning to come here for a long time, I’ve heard great things from friends. It did not disappoint. We have tried a lot of ramen places, and this place definitely has the best value! Prices are super reasonable and the broth is so good.

The ramen is so good! The noodle and broth are well made... Basically the best ramen in Toronto. It's a hidden gem, I would say. The chashu was served a little cold, but it's fine if you soak it in the soup for a little bit. The servers are friendly and nice. A lot of Japanese customers here, so I think it should be pretty close to what they had in Japan - aka authentic!!!

Our visit to Ramen Raijin was an absolute delight. The affordability of the meal was a pleasant surprise, adding to the overall enjoyment of our dining experience. However, it's important to note that securing a table can be a bit of a challenge due to the restaurant's popularity. To avoid any potential waiting, I highly recommend making a reservation in advance, as it's well worth the effort.

The ambiance at Ramen Raijin deserves special mention. It was cozy and inviting, creating a wonderful atmosphere for our meal. Whether you're looking for a casual lunch or a special dinner, the restaurant's ambiance sets the stage for a memorable dining experience.

During our visit, we savored a delightful array of dishes, including the takoyaki, edamame, karaage, and, of course, the star of the show, the ramen bowl. Each dish was a flavor-packed experience, but the ramen truly stole the spotlight. The takoyaki offered a tantalizing taste of octopus-filled goodness, and the edamame provided a perfect, healthy contrast. The karaage was crispy and perfectly seasoned, making it an irresistible appetizer.

However, the real star of the show was the ramen bowl. It was a symphony of flavors and textures, with a rich, savory broth that left us craving more. The noodles were cooked to perfection, and the toppings added layers of complexity to the dish. It was a truly satisfying culinary journey.

In summary, Ramen Raijin offers not only delectable dishes but also a warm and inviting ambiance that enhances the overall dining experience. Be sure to make a reservation in advance to ensure you have a table ready when you arrive. Your taste buds and senses will thank you for choosing this culinary gem.

Went there around 5pm for a table of 3, when we arrived we realized we needed to line up online for a table, we scanned the QR code for a table, wait about 10-15 mins, realized someone who just walked in was seated before us and had no reservation, i had to walk up and ask for a table, and when I did we were given seats on a table shared with others. I also felt like the attitude and vibe just wasn’t it. I probably wouldn’t go back just because of the experience.

Only thing holding this together was the food, each bowl of noodles was roughly 16-20 dollars, the karage portions were very generous. The overall flavours were amazing, but a little saltier than I would personally like.

If your going to go, make sure to ask for a table straight up cause clearly lining up through the web doesn’t help, but go a try as the food is good, but dont expect any decent customer experience.
