  • *3.5 stars to be exact* My fiance and I wanted to meet up with my cousin (he lives in Toronto) for dinner on our second night in Markham, but the fiance's family also tagged along. There was nine of us and I was worried the restaurant wouldn't have enough room for our big party, but as soon as we walked in and I told them nine people the table in front of us had coincidentally eight seats, so all we had to do was pull in another chair. How great! As we sat down and I observed, it definitely didn't feel like a typical ramen restaurant. It wasn't very lively or filled with excitement. The prices of the ramen were about $3-$7 cheaper than what you would find in New York City or New Jersey. Most of us had ramen and we also ordered three appetizers to try. Pork Gyoza - The gyoza was delightfully pan-fried and stuffed with pork and vegetables. I thought it was on par with what we have here in New York City. Combo Tonkatsu - I'm not sure why they called this the "combo Tonkatsu" when there's no combination of meat or anything of that nature. Any way, the Tonkatsu was beautifully deep-fried in crispy panko crumbs, but even with the sauce the Tonkatsu tasted a little dry. Grilled Chashu - We got a plate of this and underneath the grilled chashu was mixture of vegetables - bean sprouts, carrots, and cabbage. I liked the grilled chashu. It was grilled perfectly, tender, moist ,and delicious! Tonkotsu Ramen - I got the Tonkotsu Ramen which was only $10.95 (definitely cheaper than NYC). It was accompanied with the usual ramen toppings - corn, half-boiled egg, scallions, grilled Chashu and additions of bean sprouts, carrots, and ginger. The ramen was wavy and cooked just right. The broth definitely had a creaminess to it, not salty at all, but could use more pork flavor. Not the worse ramen I've had, but not on my top favorite either. The service here was decent, not as poor as some of the reviews say. Sonoya is definitely a good spot to check out if you're not feeling for Chinese or HK Style food everyday.The restaurant itself is pretty clean and so are the restrooms. If you're not a crazy ramen fan there are other dishes you can order for lunch or dinner. Will I come back? (that's a question I always ask myself). I think so if I want Japanese food for dinner while I'm in Markham. I think it's worth giving another shot.
