Menya Fuji is conveniently located on the intersection of Yonge and Finch. It offers not only traditional Japanese ramen, but also special and unique dishes, such as Fuji Mountain Ramen, that you won't find in other Ramen restaurants.
Food:
I tried Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen and Cold Vegetable Soba Ramen.
-Cold Vegetable Soba Ramen: It's surprisingly very refreshing. If you are a vegetarian, or wants something light and refreshing, this is it. Most of all, you won't feel guilty finishing the whole bowl.
-Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen (with sweet corn): Chashu on top of ramen has a full fire flavor. Unlike other Ramen restaurants, Menya Fuji's soup base is light and leaves clean after taste; it's not oily and thick. But, it also has rich and full flavor of pork bones.
Service:
- Staffs are very attentive and friendly. They are always nearby to make up to customers' requirements. I did not find a single problem with staffs.
Atmosphere:
- It's like a cute little button in the neighborhood. Woody interior delivers the warm feeling. It's almost like a late night small eatery in Shinjuku Omoide Yokocho in Tokyo. Since it's a small place, it's best to make a reservation for party of 4 or more.
If you are looking for a decent bowl of Japanese ramen to warm your body, Menya Fuji is the right place to pay a visit this winter.
