So I went to Konjiki today (Saturday) for lunch... Oh My Goodness!!! Hands down THE BEST ramen in town!! This place has set a new standard for what ramen should taste like.
We went as a group of 6, the wait was approximately 20 minutes. They have a long hallway inside the restaurant so people can line up without standing in the cold outside. The servers were polite and quick with their job.
I got the black tonkotsu with an egg and extra pork. The egg was by far the best I had in ramen. It was cooked perfectly and was so flavourful. The two cherry tomatoes were smokey and extremely delicious. Their homemade noodles were perfectly cooked - not soggy and overdone and not too hard and chewy.
The broth... best I have had!!! It was flavourful, super creamy and not too salty not like most other places'. The best broth I have ever tried. The pork that was on the ramen was ground and not sliced which is something I have never had in a ramen before. I recommend getting sliced pork as an add on. The sliced pork was super soft and flavourful.
My friend got their signature clam broth ramen and I tried a bit of the broth. I can't say I am a big fan of that. It was flavourful but not creamy. Try their tonkotsu or any of their other creamy ramens first, then give their clam broth ones a try.
They even have a dessert cafe in front of the restaurant that has matcha and chocolate ice cream and many other dessert options. We did not actually get a chance to try it because we were so stuffed after all the ramen, but the desserts looked amazing.
The total cost with the egg and the sliced pork was 17.50 + tax.
Knowing that the chef for this place had a Michelin star restaurant in Japan, I came here with high expectations. I was blown away by how great the food was, and can't wait to go back again! This ramen was heavenly.
If you like ramen you HAVE TO come here. The ride to North York is totally worth it!!
