Ramen Romp Report: Momofuku Noodle Bar
On November 18, 2015, seven Ramen Rompers checked out the classy Momofuku Noodle Bar at University & Adelaide. From the outside, once you get past the giant metallic sculpture, one would never guess that this a Japanese restaurant housed in a modern building with beautiful architecture. Each floor has its own theme: The 1st floor is the “Noodle Bar”, the 2nd floor is the “Nikai Bar” and “Milk Bar”, and the 3rd floor is a very classy “Daisho” restaurant. The feel of the interior is much like a fancy New York cocktail bar (this is a chain restaurant that started in NYC by the way), which made it feel cool but also a little strange to be eating ramen in such a setting.
Ramen Romp Report: Rajin Ramen
October marked the one year anniversary of JETAA Toronto’s Ramen Romp, which was celebrated with style at Raijin Ramen and Izakaya. In total, nine ramen enthusiasts came out on a rainy fall night to slurp on some delicious noodles. There were also quite a few new faces, including some freshly returned JET participants!
The consensus on Rajin Ramen is that it is well worth the wait, with authentic-tasting ramen and friendly service. It also is a great place to host a big party as there is a tonne of space in the back.
Here’s to many more years of ramen goodness in Toronto. Kampai!
