I left this place unimpressed and rather disappointed. My sister and I were walking through the street of St-Laurent looking for a place to eat and we decided to give Ramen-Ya a try as I love Japanese food. We ordered a bunch of stuff.
It started well with the kim chi : I don't think Kim Chi can ever taste bad anywhere.
We also had the salmon sashimi salad : it was so-so. The portion is really small. It was like a basic salad with 5 pieces of really thin salmon on it covered with a bit of sauce. It wasn't amazing.
Next comes the tuna tartare. The tuna tartare was entree size. There was a lot of tempura mixed with the tuna and they laid rice under the tartare. It also comes with sliced cucumbers and small pieces of seaweed. Personally, I liked it better as is : only with the tuna and not the seaweed that takes away all the flavours from the tuna. The presentation of this plate was really cute though.
Then we had the " spicy " chicken wings. It tasted like diluted tabasco.. which is not really what I'm looking for when I order spicy chicken wings from a Japanese restaurant.
Lastly, we ordered the " Chirachi " which is a plate of rice filled with salad and salmon sashimi. As I was taking a bite, I felt something really odd. I pulled apart my slice of salmon only to discover that there were a hair burrowed inside of it. I told the waitress and she brought it back to the kitchen.
I don't think I'll ever come back again as the food wasn't really impressive and the staffs didn't leave me with a great impression, except for our waitress who was really sweet.
