Reviews describe Iku Ramen as a cozy, cat themed, compact spot with a welcoming and attentive staff and a calm atmosphere. The menu features bowls like Shoyu with chicken, spicy miso, black garlic, and tonkotsu, all praised for balanced broths, chewy noodles, and generous toppings. Desserts such as mochi and matcha tiramisu are noted as pleasant bonuses. Service is consistently described as friendly and helpful, with moments of exceptional care, though occasional understaffing or crowded times are mentioned. The interior decor and cat motifs spark delight and contribute to a charming, intimate vibe, while a few notes mention heat in the dining area or that some broths could be richer. Many readers call it a hidden gem and a top ramen pick, with strong takeout and dine-in experiences and good value. Overall, Iku Ramen is described as tasty, comforting, and worth trying for ramen fans.
Will not be returning due to the use of AI-generated images on their social media. The actual physical location is beautifully designed.
Food is flavourful & filling. It's a bit heavy for my taste & I'm not a huge fan of the tofu texture in the miso ramen, but other than that it's good. I appreciate having a vegetarian ramen option & being able to add toppings. Plus, the korokke are a delight!
A quiet but delectable spot with great ramen. A small store on Wellington that is perfect for a table of 2. It has a great choice of ramen bowls that are served hot & delicious.

Lovely & cozy place, ideal for a ramen stop in the midst of the winter cold. I enjoyed the fragrant black garlic ramen & the shrimp tempura was perfectly fried & crispy.
Ramens : There are a variety of ramen, many levels of spiciness 🔥, pork , chicken ect. I personally found it tasted more like Chinese soup. Still good soup though. Staff : Super friendly, good service. Ambience : Very homey with lots of little 🐈 cat figurines, very cute. Price : Very reasonable price

Belle découverte. Nous vous recommandons le ramen TanTan pour ceux & celles qui aime l'épicé & le ramen tonkatsu à l'air noir. La serveuse était très attentionnée.
C'était vraiment délicieux 😍 Je suis déçue des dernières fois oui je suis allée chez Yokato, j'ai donc changé & testé ces ramens ci puisque près de chez nous, vraiment pas déçue! Les portions sont vraiment bonne & les prix sont pas démentiels, la salle est toute petite ce qui fait que ce n'est pas bruyant, un énorme plus! On a pris les ramens ail noire & des takoyakis
