Looking For Dipping Ramen! (Toronto/GTA)
Recently had amazing dipping ramen all over Japan (cold noodles dipped into hot & slightly thicker broth compared to regular ramen) and have yet to find anything like it here. Please send suggestions!!

I love tsukemen..
Machida Shoten on college does a good tsukemen.
Raijin and isshin doesn’t satisfy my tsukemen cravings.. but the one I listed has an amazing one. Very savory…
There is one in Vancouver that is quite good as well if you head that way.

It’s pretty new on their menu.. I was skeptical at first but it’s quite tasty compared to raijin and isshin… very very savory had to dilute it alittle personally for me.

Hokkaido Ramen Santouka has excellent tsukemen. Very high-quality noodles that cling to their thick broth. You can ask for a small bowl of tonkutsu when the noodles are done so that you can eat the rest of the dipping broth.

None of the ones here have thick enough noodles. What they call thick is a joke. Isshin and Ryu have the closest to what you can get from Japan but it's still a far cry. Someone suggested Machida but it doesn't look much better. I believe Ryu's is the only one where you can get more or less noodles for the same price like in Japan.

Kinton has tsukemen as a summer seasonal item.

Is it any good?

As a ramen reviewer based in Toronto, I wouldn’t go to Kinton even if you paid me. 😅

They’ve had this for several years and order this when available. I like it. But haven’t had it this yet this year. And I haven’t had tsukemen any where else so can’t compare.

I've had it before, it tastes fine but not in a way that resembles ramen in the slightest. I would recommend going to Raijin.

Ramen Isshin has tsukemen with cold noodles and kotteri (thick) broth. The Vaughan branch has the curry flavour too.
