Konjiki Ramen

What is Konjiki Ramen? Tucked along Elm Street just west of Yonge in the Bay Street Corridor, this downtown outpost stems from chef Atsushi Yamamoto’s acclaimed Tokyo noodle institution. The sleek, wood-accented dining room features clean communal counters and intimate tables, sharing its kitchen with Asakusa's Shitamachi Tendon Akimitsu for a combined ramen and tempura experience.

Konjiki Ramen Menu & What to Order The undisputed headliner is the Signature Clam Intense Shoyu Ramen, built on a complex triple-broth of clam, chicken, and pork highlighted with porcini sauce and black truffle. Those seeking a lighter profile should pivot to the Clam Mild Shio, where white truffle oil and pancetta elevate the delicate shellfish base. Balance the rich soup by sharing an Akimitsu prawn and vegetable tendon or a plate of pan-fried pork and shrimp gyoza.

Know Before You Go Elm Street operates primarily on walk-ins and draws steady queues during peak lunch and dinner hours from nearby hospital row and Toronto Metropolitan University. Arrive during mid-afternoon off-peak windows or right at opening to secure a seat without a long wait. Dundas station is a five-minute stroll away, making subway access vastly preferable to navigating downtown street parking.
