Overall, Tori Ramen receives praise for rich broths and solid toppings across tonkotsu, shoyu, and miso mazemen, with many noting flavorful, well-balanced soups and appealing presentations. The karaage and pork options get mixed reactions, with some diners enjoying the texture and seasoning while others find the meat under-seasoned or the pork slices leaning toward bacon and the noodles ordinary or not homemade. Several reviews highlight friendly service, a modern food court vibe, and good value, though a few mention higher prices and occasional overly salty bowls. The mazemen, especially the truffle version, is repeatedly singled out as memorable, and many say the ramen ranks among the best in the city. All things considered, Tori Ramen comes across as a reliable, satisfying choice for ramen lovers, with a few caveats about salt, portion size, and consistency.
I always order at this place & always order tonkotsu & they're always sooo good. But I noticed recently that the broth tasted different & the pork slices changed like they substituted it with bacon. Its still good but im kind of disappointed.
As someone who just got back from Japan, I have to say this was quite lovely. Took the tonkotsu ramen & it was very tasty, broth was rich but not overly fatty, porc was wonderful. Only negative side is getting a plastic spoon, it should not be a thing.
Really good broth! We tried the sapporo black ramen with takoyaki, & (unpictured) the tonkotsu ramen. Both are very flavorful. The shop is located in a good-looking food court at Royalmount, we will visit again!
I'm into authentic good quality ramen & this wasn't it at all. The tonkotsu broth had a watered down onion/garlic powder taste with none of the complex umami simmered pork flavor. The pork was some tough bacon slices, not the flavorful tender thick pork belly you'd expect. The noodles were also relatively low quality. Even the kikurage didn't have its usual crunch, it felt like maybe it wasn't fresh. Oh, & there is an excessive layer of flavorless fat on top. Good tonkotsu should have flavorful fat emulsified in the broth, not a super thick layer floating on top that's gross.

Le ramen tonkotsu au porc est vraiment délicieux & réconfortant. Je recommande fortement ! J'ai récemment essayé le ramen Sapporo noir (son goût me rappelle le chapaghetti), mais le tonkotsu reste mon préféré. & j'aime que les nouilles soient légèrement al denté.
It's the best Japanese ramen I've ever eaten.
I ate tonkotsu & shoyu
I ate it all, so I don't have a picture ^___^
It was so delicious & t were so kind.
I had the Kara ramen, asked for extra spicy & it was really delicious! I ended up drinking up all the soup. It was that good. I'd love to try the Tonkotsu next time :) should try this place !
Had the tonkotsu, absolutely delicious & a generous portion too! The karaage & takoyaki are must haves too. Staff is super friendly, this place is worth your time!

One of the worst ramens I've tried... I don't know if they had a bad day, but their Sapporo Black was hardly enjoyable. Tonkotsu was better, but still not very flavorful. It was a very bad price - value ratio. I hoped it would be a real authentic Japanese ramen place, but the ramens I ate in Japan were waaaay better.
The prices are what you'd expect for a ramen restaurant. I found the broth flavours not very rich, it was pretty bland in my opinion compared to many other ramen restaurants I've tried, & I've had many tonkotsu ramens. The chashu, however, was tasty.
Good place for ramen. Tasty broth. I took Tonkotsu, found it a bit salty but still enjoy it. Quick service even during lunch hours. Suggest trying their dry ramen without broth I believe called Mazamen, apologies if spelled differently. Prices are pretty fair for the quality of the food
