CRAFTY RAMEN REVIEWS
Arguably one of the best Ramen restaurants in the KW and Guelph area. I've come here several times in the last 5 years and the food has been delicious and exceptionally consistent. They have not tried to cut any corners and water down the flavors to become more mainstream but have maintained their authenticity throughout the years. The restaurant itself has a quaint and cozy feel with an open kitchen that adds to it's charm. It does get a bit hot in the summer although they do have patios. One of my favorite restaurants!
Came here for lunch and enjoyed our meal on the patio. I was looking for vegetarian options and was pleasantly surprised at not only the options available but also how flavourful the vegan broth is. We started with the marinated edamame which was absolutely mouthwatering. I had the vegan salary man ramen and the tofu was so flavourful, the broth rich, the noodles tender and flavourful. Will definitely come back. Vegetarian options: Several vegan options available and the broth is really flavourful.
This is the best Ramen shop in all of Guelph! Sitting at the ramen bar and watching the chefs put everything together is such a wonderful experience! All of their soups are incredible and I couldn’t recommend it enough.

HANAMI IZAKAYA REVIEWS
I’ve only ordered take out, but the food is incredible. The rolls are gigantic and the fish is high quality. The cooked dishes I’ve had were all also extremely good, which I find rare at most AYCE sushi restaurants. This is the best Sushi I’ve had anywhere in the Tri-Cities/Guelph area.
First all you can eat sushi restaurant I've been to that offers GLUTEN-FREE SOY SAUCE!!!!! Round of applause and a standing ovation! The food was awesome and fresh. Sizzling hot in the instances it needed to be. Friendly staff! I would totally go again. A friend recommended and I will continue to recommend for other friends too.
Take-out was delicious! Staff was very friendly and patient with my questions regarding dietary restrictions. Atmosphere is nice, though I only spent a few minutes inside waiting for food. Looking forward to going back and trying their dine-in all you can eat, soon!

KENZO RAMEN REVIEWS
Fast service and efficient staff. I really like that they have big portions. I highly recommend their tonkatsu and gyoza. The tonkatsu is served on a stainless steel rack, which makes it crispy and not oily. The gyoza is tasty and has a good amount of filling in it. Definitely coming back!
I went to Kenzo with a couple of friends. I must say I was not disappointed at all. We ordered couple of items from the menu. Like each one of us ordered something different and we all loved what we ordered. I ordered Sapporo vegetarian ramen and I fell in love with it. From taste to serving everything was superb. It had an authentic ramen taste to. The picture I am attaching is the from one of the rice dish that my friend ordered it was served with miso soup, I tried it and even that was amazing. Would definitely recommend trying this place.
Always delicious! We love the chicken appetizer. The ramen portion is big. The food always tastes fresh and comes out really hot. Definitely recommend. Great server too.
