  • Occupying an awkward corner along Woodbine Ave is the latest of ramen joints to migrate upwards into the Asian invasion capital of Ontario. This place is brand spanking new and is still only open for dinner. Keeping up with that awkward location, the entrance is also awkward with two adjacent glass doors that can, if you wanted to, trap someone in between. It's also a tiny place and can fill up quite quickly. What drew our attention was the fact that Kyouka was advertised as authentic Japanese ramen. Now I've never had ramen in Japan so I can't speak to that, but I can speak about it as a general consumer. And generally speaking, it's a decent ramen place. The portions are not as large as Sonoya's (Kenzo's) and the service isn't as fast as Sansotei's but it has its own charm. Kyouka ($11): You can customize the fat level (original, less fat, no fat). Even with "less fat", it was still plenty fat. There were little white pieces of "flavour" (some sort of animal fat) floating peacefully on top of the broth. But hey, you didn't come to ramen to keep slim, you came here to feel good with noodles! A friend also went for the spicier option of chili paste for an extra 50 cents and said it wasn't really that much spicier. Value for money was meh. Even with the fully loaded option with double toppings (+$4), it's not that fully loaded. I'm not sure it was worth it. The egg was delicious but you only get one full egg in the double topping option (otherwise just half). The meat was also good but you only get one piece of chicken and one piece of chashu in the original. And they're pretty thin pieces. Shio ($11): Shio means salt - so a salt based broth. And boy, was it salty. You also don't get to customize the fat level for this one and it looked and felt pretty greasy. Still a tasty ramen, but everything else combined, I think my health would protest against ordering this one again. Despite some issues, Kyouka is still a welcome addition to the Markham ramen scene and I can see it becoming popular as it settles into a good routine. Overall, the food isn't bad but it's not at the top of my go-to list. Everything was just a bit more expensive, a bit saltier, and a bit small compared to other options. (72/100) - 2016
