My fiancé and I are avid ramen lovers. Most of our favourite ramen places are in the west end (e.g. Ramen Isshin on College), so we were hoping to find a new joint in the east that we can frequent after moving to Leslieville. We visited Nakayoshi on a Saturday night after reading decent reviews online. The staff were friendly and the restaurant was quiet — we were one of three couples.The menu is quite large with snacks, ramen and sushi options, but we wanted a simple meal: I ordered the spicy miso ramen and my fiancé the tonkotsu ramen. The bowls came quickly and were beautifully plated, so I was already visually impressed. Diving into the spicy broth, it was rich and delicious. The noodles were the perfect texture and thickness. I was also happy with the generous portions of pork as well, which was well-seasoned and not tough at all. Overall, very pleased with this restaurant and will certainly return for another bowl of ramen.

I ordered a spicy miso ramen with roast pork. Also asked for soba noodles (which I usually have at home), and an order of 3 tempura shrimp. Now remember, this is an izakaya, not a ramen house. The ramen is good and the portioning is okay. Tempura was not that oily considering it is oil fried. Service is very good - the server brought shichimi togarashi with my ramen (along with black pepper) which is how it should be !!!! That was the first time I experienced the server ever bring that condiment with my ramen !!! ( Japanese chilli powder). Well go again once the restrictions are lifted.

Food - Their menu has the standard japanese food you usually see at others. There are a few items that have their own twists, such as the teriyaki fries. I got the dynamic roll, and unexpectedly, it was larger than I was used to. I prefer smaller rolls to fit into my mouth.However, I didn't mind the largeness. It did taste good, nothing crazy but above the average. For the price, it was a little much. If you can share it, it would be better bang for your buck. The presentation was nice, and overall, I would come back if I was in the area.Service - The server was friendly and professional. Food came out quickly, so there was nothing to complain about here.Ambiance - I always appreciate it when the restaurant takes care of decorating. They have a bunch of japanese artwork and knick knacks. Lots of wood and an outside patio. It's near the subway and clean.Overall, it's not bad, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

This gem on danforth has delicious gyoza, ramen and absolutely tender yakitori. The ambience of the restaurant was the perfect quiet escape from the bustling street and brought my friends and I for a surprisingly amazing dinner.

Really good ramen! We prefer another place as our go-to ramen spot, but this is a close second. Also helps that it is walking distance, so we will be coming back frequently.I had the spicy miso ramen, and my wife had the tonkotsu ramen. Both were delicious! I would have preferred if the noodles were slightly firmer, but that is a minor nitpick. The broths were very flavourful, and portion size was good.We also got a side order of gyoza. It was tasty, but on the pricier side so may not get again.The place is spacious, with a nice ambiance and service is really good.

The Rainbow sushi was the best thing that was ordered. I wasnot too impressed with the katsu but it was still good. One of the staff members seem to give more attention to those that spoke Japanese, but she was still attentive to the others (kindof).

First time visiting and had a great experience. Got takoyaki, agedashi tofu, and yakitori to start. All were really good, the agedashi was very crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.Had the karaage ramen, shio ramen, and tonkatsu ramen. All had really flavourful broth and toppings.

Unfortunately, this was not a positive experience. We came around lunch and there were a few tables (2 other tables). I wouldn't call this true izakaya; it's more just a sushi place with some BBQ. Every dish was quite bland, and the maki and Sunrise rolls were so, so sloppy. I have a hard time believing an actual sushi chef is in the kitchen. Sashimi was cut very poorly too. Agedashi tofu had no flavour and I have no idea what half of the tempura veggies even were. They were deep fried to death and then some. Except for broccoli which was full of raw batter.Service was nice but very VERY slow and inefficient. She kept forgetting things and we had to ask multiple times for just tea. Trying to pay the bill was insane. A less ethical person would have walked out. We literally had to chase her down across the restaurant to pay, and she kept saying ok" and then not bringing us the bill. She put walk-ins ahead of us. You also can't get a copy because it's handwritten

I ordered the large spicy miso ramen bowl. It was pretty large, however the noodles seemed like they were extremely soggy and they almost had no taste to them whatsoever. The egg was actually cold inside the bowl, the seasoning for the broth was actually quite good. I've had better bowls of ramen in many places before this, it might have been on end of the day kind of a thing where they were running out but this is up to the restaurant to rectify. The waitresses were incredibly nice, the price for an extra large bowl of ramen with tip comes up to about $22 or so which is on the high side.
