We had a craving for Ramen but didn't want to make the trek downtown for Kinton so we wanted to find a place somewhere in Markham - I am glad that we found Sonoya on Yelp.
The restaurant is located in First Markham Place where there is still the large white grand opening sign. Inside, it is a nicely decorated noodle house but small - probably seats around 20-30.
So, my wife and I were quite hungry and ordered the following:
Okonomyaki - when I was in Tokyo, this was one of fav things to get. The size here was big but unfortunately the pancake was a bit soggy. Maybe if we let it cook a bit more, the batter mixture would have formed better so the flavour wasn't quite there.
Sapparo miso ramen - This hit the spot - great bowl of noodles with lots of meat and veggie toppings on it. The slices of roast pork were also huge. The soup flavour was good but not too overpowering or fatty. Highly recommend!
Tonkatsu ramen - My wife ordered this one and we were both surprised to see how much pork they gave her. A richer soup flavour compared to the Sapparo but nonetheless good as well. Highly recommend!
Other than the one appetizer, we found the ramen to be good and will certainly return in the future. I am hoping to also try their gyoza and takoyaki. In my opinion, it is the best place in Markham. When compared to Kinton, Ryu and Kenzo, I think this is behind Kinton but ahead of the rest.
