Ryu's Noodle Bar is a cozy ramen restaurant, tucked away in one of my favourite neighbourhoods in Toronto. We arrived at 6pm, and the restaurant was already packed. The three of us opted to sit by the window, which was a snug but comfortable fit. Perfect for people watching. We each had the shoyu ramen and a bottle of warm sake. The broth had a nice light flavour and the noodles had a nice texture and were chewy. There was a good amount of bamboo shoots, and a generous slice of chicken and pork. Our server, although very busy, was friendly and took the time to chat with us as she came to check on our table. A great atmosphere to enjoy a hot bowl of noodles and do a little or a lot of drinking :) Next time I will have to get there early to try their special ramen; limited to 20 bowls per day.
