in mid december i had the absolute pleasure of enjoying this spicy miso ramen before spending some time at the royal ontario museum (like i do every third tuesday of the month), half-baked ogling at the rocks and minerals exhibit on the third floor.
this spot is by no means some hidden gem, but it’s rare for me to experience a restaurant that lives up to its praise (looking at you two, fresca and craig's cookies) and i was also pleasantly surprised to see cocktails for under $10!
in a cave of mediocre food spots in the yonge/wellesley area, ramen raijin is shiny treasure. they don’t do reservations and the atmosphere discourages campers at tables so operations run smoothly; everything from the demeanour of their staff to the quality of the food radiates excellence… i will be returning and tipping generously <3
