Kenzo Ramen

Food’s good. Service is fast. Try the Netsu Ramen. I’ve tried level 2’s got a good kick to it, but doesnt burn your tongue.

I love that we have Ramen noodles in Mississauga! It does get very busy on the weekend. So unfortunately, this is great I can only have during the week. I’ve only dined in, so cannot speak for take out!

Meh… Mediocre at best. Hard to write a review when I have zero adjectives or eureka moments that surface when consuming excess calories that do not bring me happiness. It’s an edible meal. Probably one of the better ramen places in Mississauga area, but that’s not saying much considering I haven’t come across any breath taking ramen locations around square one, or any other ramen locations around the area for that matter.
It’s noodles, and it’s soup. Meat too tangy and chewy, you leave with the taste of lingering msg in your mouth, broth tastes. neutral? I’m not even sure how to describe it because it just tastes like salty flavored water. Beggars can’t be choosers since there’s no other ramen place to peg it against. So ask me if I’ll go again? Probably if I’m craving Japanese ramen and don’t feel like commuting 30 minutes into down town core, but peg it against any downtown ramen location that I’m hoping will sprout out in the middle of suburbia, and I probably won’t be a periodical visitor at this location. Fast service. Clean location. Free parking.
Bottom line. Acceptable if you’re trying to fill a meal and want to suffice that ramen craving in Mississauga Sqaure One region. If you’re looking for mind boggling food experience, save it for elsewhere. Neither recommend nor protest.

I’m not pretending to be a ramen expert, but I’ve eaten my fair share in the last few years.
Some tips: this place is small (like most ramen places), and it fills up fast, but the turn over times aren’t bad. When you arrive, there is a list on the door — you write your name down, your party number and you wait to be called. Food arrives quickly and hot. The broth is made in house, the noodles are made in house. You want home cooked ramen, this is it.
Maybe I’ve been spoiled living in the Toronto area. Ramen is everywhere. This place was alright. The flavours were okay (not great), the noodle texture was okay (not great), the atmosphere was okay (not great, you get my point? But I stand corrected, the service is great, but that’s the only thing that will surpass my expectations.
If you’re in Mississauga and craving ramen, this is it — you don’t have many other options. I’m not saying it’s bad, but with not much other competition — it’s pretty good.

Okay love with place.
Great service. Great food the staff is all great very well coming. Other places should learn from this place ¹⁰⁄₁₀.

First time here since it opened, I avoided it before as I heard bad things about it from chef friends. Finally decided to try it out with two of my friends and find it quite alright. Got the tonkotsu ramen, and the noodles were good but soup really wasn’t that flavorful. The pork belly was delicious though, and made up for the shortcomings of the soup stock.
I tried out my friend’s king of king ramen, and find it on the first level of spiciness it was really bland. The amount of bean sprout just got tiresome to chew after a while.
I’ll probably come back to try out their shoyu ramen, which looks quite good.

Came here just because we felt like to have ramen noodles for the day. Since it was out first-​time here, we didn’t know there was a wait list you need to put your name on it just to get in the line. And instead I was dumb enough to wait in the queue outside the restaurant waiting to be served.
We had the Takoyaki for the start-​up, each ball did look great but we were kinda upset as they only got a tiny portion of octopus inside.
We ordered two ramen noodles dishes: 1. King of Kings & 2. Karashi (not spicy). These two dishes were all delicious, I had the King of Kings and each slice of the roasted pork was just perfect enough to the point that you might feel like to have more of these slices in your bowl. The sliced eggs and fish cakes were also a plus. However, I didn’t know what condiments they put in the soup, the more the soup you have, the more water you’d drink. The soup base would just made you thirsty.
My girl had the Karashi (not spicy), I personally think its soup tastes much better than the one I had. Anyway, they are both good ramen noodles dishes.

My friend and I came to Kenzo ramen — we had to wait a little bit before we got in. There’s a sign up sheet to write the names near the entrance. I ordered the Tonkotsu ramen while my friend got the seafood ramen. It was pretty good, the soup was a bit too salty. The ramen were good though. My friend seemed to have enjoyed the seafood ramen — it was great for her because Kenzo was able to switch the soup base for the vegetarian broth for her. The service was decent, average. I would come back but try something else next time.

–1 for long line ups especially on evenings and weekends. It’s crazy.
Other than that, ramen is great. Nothing really to compare to since this is the only ramen place we know in Sauga.
Loved their SALMON ONIGIRI ($ 3.95)
Kept ordering either Tonkotsu Ramen ($ 10.95) and Ka rashi Ramen ($ 8.95)
Servers are very friendly.
We were all greeted by staffs when we come in and also when we left.

Wait line was long but they were organized and we got our table quicker than expected. Come before 1pm because this place get packed quick.
Ordered the tonkotsu (pork broth soup ramen) Very very tasty.
Service was excellent staff was polite.
Will return again soon.

Probably one of the best Ramen places in Mississauga hands down!!! Everything is on point here to compete with Toronto Ramen spots. If you don’t want to drive downtown hit up this local spot for some good eats. Enjoy

We’ve had better. But, in Mississauga, where finding a good specialized ramen joint is like finding a needle in a haystack, I guess this will have to suffice for now. In short, Kenzo’s one of Mississauga’s very few options at the time of this review.
I’ve visited this location a couple of times and I’ve had the Shio Ramen, the Miso Ramen, the Shoyu Ramen, and the Tonkotsu Ramen. I’ve also had the gyoza and a couple of other starters. Overall, very average. Out of all of these, I think I enjoyed the Tonkotsu one best (although, for what it is, it’s a bit overpriced from what I recall). The broth isn’t as flavourful as other joints in Toronto, to the point where the broth can sometimes be watery and bland (the Shio Ramen in particular). Also, I’d pass on the gyoza. I ordered it here once and I couldn’t keep it down — there was something about the mix that was really garlicky and off-​putting.
Overall, very average meals, and definitely not the best. But if you’re craving ramen in the west end, I guess this does the job for now.

I have been here a couple of times. The first was over a year ago. I actually came when I could get a table and loved the food.
I have been craving ramen these days. I decided to return. With Goodwill closed next door, I didn’t have to park at the back. However, the place was packed at 3 pm!
I could have signed up for a table after you get through the first set of doors. Instead, I decided to go in and order takeout. I was immediately assisted. The friendly server handed me a menu.
I ordered the shoyu ramen and three-​piece gyoza. I then went to the waiting area (there are benches between the two sets of doors) and sat there. The area is pretty small. At one point, fifteen of us were there. The congestion quickly cleared up.
The server said that my order would take 10 — 15 minutes. She was accurate! Yumminess came and I was happy.
The first time I was there, I got the miso ramen. I liked it better than the shoyu. I ordered extra corn, which helped!
The gyoza was excellent. Great size, taste, and crispness.
I’m glad that I tried takeout. Even the ramen presentation was perfect. I will do it again and revert to ordering my beloved miso ramen.
If you are a protein person, I’d recommend ordering more pork. You only get a couple of slices with the shoyu ramen.

This place is literally up the street from where I live, yet today was my first visit! I wasn’t impressed with Momofuku, so I thought it was hype. Besides, this place is always busy and I’m not one to line up for food… unless it’s free! ;)
Impressions? I’m not a huge ramen person, but I’ve had better in Vancouver.
I also ordered the wrong thing, so that didn’t really help my impression. I initially ordered the Ji Su Ramen ($ 11), with a soy sauce based soup w/​an egg broken into the broth, pieces of chicken, & sesame oil. Soup was more like a gravy, so it was a bit too rich for my liking.
I ended up swapping for the Sapporo Miso Ramen (~$ 11) which had SOO much bean sprouts. Sprouts/​pieces of nappa definitely outweighed the noodles, so that wasn’t good.
Both soups were piping hot, so that was good. A bit on the salty side, especially the bowl of Ji Su. Service was friendly and fairly efficient. Not bad, but didn’t really live up to the hype. However, I wouldn’t be opposed to going back to try another dish.
And yes, there was a wait for a table, but it moved fairly quickly. I also came on Saturday evening for dinner and again, there was also a line, so I went elsewhere. Seems to be always a wait during peak times.

Came back to try again after a long while. I must say it has improved so much! Really delicious now! I think we went 3 times in one week. Lol
Its usually very busy, and a wait to get a table. You write your name on a list by the door to get a table, and they will call you when its ready.
I really like their creamy vegetarian ramen. I’m not a vegetarian but its my favourite so far.

***I’d give this place 3.5 stars if I could!***
As I opened the door, the delicious scent of ramen wafted into my nose. I waited 15mins for a table, watching people slurp down their noodles as I slurped down my saliva in anticipation.
The service and ambiance were great. It was warm, cozy, we’ll ventilated, and filled with people. Looking around, there is a sign on the wall that proudly states that they make their noodles, gyoza, ground pork and Takoyaki in house.
True enough, I was seated beside a staff member who was painstakingly hand-​folding gyoza. So mesmerizing to watch, really makes you appreciate the time it takes to make vs. eat one.
I was captivated by the King of Ramen bowl. With a name like that, it sounded decadent. I had to have it. It was interesting, different from any other ramen I’ve ever had. It tasted like a korean fusion ramen, as the spicy, red broth was wok-​fried with ground pork/​mushrooms/​beansprouts/​carrots/​green onion — very similar to the veggy mix you might see accompanying a teriyaki dish. I think that this is the netsu ramen ($ 9.95), but for $ 3 more, the «King» comes with chasiu x 3, half an egg, one slice of fishcake, bamboo shoots and seaweed. I wonder if the taste of this dish was influenced by the fact that this franchise is Korean-​run. In hindsight, I wish I’d examined the menu more thoroughly (too hungry!), and perhaps ordered a more traditional ramen to properly review this place as the tonkotsu, shio and shoyu broth bases were also available.
I am on the hunt for the perfect Takoyaki, just like in Osaka. Since they make their own, I had to try it. It came with 6 pieces, a nice share plate appy. I’d have to say that the skin was thicker/​denser than I liked and the tako a bit small, but big props to it being handmade!

All i can say is Wow ! I’m impressed. I haven’t been to this location for a while and they really got their act together.
When i first came here when they first opened, they didn’t have AC and their soup tasted a bit burnt. It has improved since then, hence the large crowd now.
Man i felt like i got teased today. I got the spicy one and the wife got the creamy vegetarian. Boy was mine spicy but tasted sooo good. I do wish it had a little more noodles in it though.

The Agedashi tofu that we ordered for a starter was good, but the soy sauce based ramen was lackluster. Next time we will try a different type of ramen. If you like green tea like we do, definitely try the smoothie! But ask for half the sweetness, it’s more than enough.

After visiting Kenzo I finally understand the saying «There’s a party in my mouth and everyone’s invited!» A celebration of flavour, meat, and perfectly cooked noodles.
My friend and I visited this location, it was not my first time trying Ramen but it was my best time. Kenzo has Ramen down to a science!
I got the «king of kings ramen» spicy level 3. To my surprise it was actually spicy I considering myself to have a tongue of steel not many places can make food that I consider spicy. That being said if you can’t handle a lot of heat I suggest spicy level 1. The soup consisted of house made noodles, bbq pork, fish cake, and veggies. The staff was very friendly and attentive, great atmosphere, there’s an open kitchen you can hear the chefs singing while watching flames fly.
I don’t dish out 5 stars often but Kenzo meets all the criteria — Good food, good service, good atmosphere. Highly recommend.

First time at Kenzo Ramen. First time ramen eater. I was not disappointed.
My girlfriend and myself visited this place due to cravings for something hot and salty and new. The menu had a lot of choices, but was not one that stood out that was a must try. We eventually got Tonkotsu Sho-​yu Ramen and Netsu Ramen. Oh boy, was it delicious, the noodles was perfectly cook, the soup was flavourful and it was so much for one person to finish. Looking around other tables, there was a lot of half bowl full.
We also tried the gyoza, a chefmade appetizer and not just store bought crap that I guess other restaurant sells. But what do I know, I just eat and gives a thumbs up or down.
Overall, this place was an A+. Friendly service and affordable food that will keep me coming back. However, I will only come here when I’m craving something salty. They have my help getting customers in the door, as I will recommended their good food.
