| - I like all the Japanese ramen places in the downtown Toronto area, but I visit Ryus the most. I got hooked on this place when they started offering the Angus Roast Beef with Shio Ramen combo. It is the shio ramen garnished with arugula, white fungus and bamboo shoots with a side dish of sliced angus roast beef done medium rare and chilled slightly, accompanied with truffle oil for dipping. I add the garlic shallot oil halfway through my ramen to the soup. Delicious and very filling. Soup base is full of flavour and the noodles are appropriately bouncy and chewy.
This is the only Japanese ramen place that has a patio, which is nice on a summer evening. They also offer a stamp card so when you eat enough bowls of ramen, you get a free ramen. Another great bonus: as you progress along the card, you can get smaller rewards like free sauce (e.g. garlic shallot oil, XO sauce, truffle oil, etc.) or free topping (e.g. egg, white fungus, veggie, etc.) without it interrupting your goal of getting free ramen. The staff are great at reminding you when you haven't claimed a reward on your card.
