REVIEW | Touhenboku Ramen's new location at Yonge & Eglinton
It's not too long ago that Japanese Ramen became all the rave in Toronto's food scene and ramen specialty restaurants were popping up within the city. Last winter, we got a taste of Touhenboku Ramen on Queen St that differentiated themselves by offering chicken broth (read review). We had a great experience there with their various offerings and when the news came that a second location was opening at Yonge & Eglinton, I was more than excited to try it!
The second location features their regular ramen menu (including rice appetizers & dessert) but what makes this location special is that they also feature an Izakaya Menu for dinner.
For my visit at lunch on a weekday, I stuck to the regular menu:
Korokke ($5.50) - crispy potato & cream cakes rolled in panko
Gyoza ($5.50) - fried pork dumpling with dipping sauce
Kara-age Don ($4.50) - fried chicken pieces served on a bed of steaming hot rice with housemade sauce & scallions
Spicy Ramen ($10.50) in sea salt base broth, pork belly & thin noodles - served with special chili oil along with seaweed, boiled egg, kikurage mushrooms and green onion
Millie Crepe ($5.50) - sweetened crepes layered with whipping cream topped with fruit glaze
The restaurant is about the same size as the Queen St. location that seats about 30-35 diners. It's great to have a Ramen place in the Yonge & Eglinton neighbourhood as most Japanese restaurants in the area focus on sushi. For a hearty bowl of Ramen for lunch, head to Touhenboku with your co-workers!
