Kuma Ramen - Newmarket

The reviews for this restaurant are phenomenal. My wife and I dined here for the first time and were so impressed that we came back for dinner on another day. The quality of the food is consistent, the service is excellent, and the flavors are truly amazing. I believe this is the best ramen spot in Newmarket, without a doubt. My wife, who is usually very picky, absolutely adores this place.

When I visited Newmarket, I searched on Google for restaurants to try out. I was in the mood for ramen and after seeing the positive reviews, I decided to check out this place. I went on a Saturday evening after shopping at a nearby mall. We were warmly greeted upon arrival by friendly staff. The interior was clean and beautiful, with tables spaced at a comfortable distance from each other. The restaurant had a steady flow of customers, both dining in and getting takeout. We ordered the black tonkotsu ramen, spicy tonkotsu miso ramen, and a side of karaage. The broth in both ramen dishes was flavorful with just the right amount of salt. I appreciated that the soup was hot and not lukewarm like other places I've been to. The pork (charsu) was delicious, with a lovely char on it that the server mentioned was achieved using a blow torch for an extra touch. The meat tasted fresh. The noodles had the perfect chewy texture I look for in ramen. The karaage was also freshly made, hot, and crispy. I was truly impressed with the quality of the food and I will definitely be returning.

The dishes were straightforward but expertly crafted. The tonkotsu broth was perfectly seasoned, not too salty. The creative touch of crispy, deep-fried mushrooms in the vegetarian ramen was a standout. Prices were reasonable, service was efficient, and the restaurant was impeccably clean. It appears that the staff are well taken care of, as they close for a lunch break at 3pm and are provided with meals. Bonus points for employee care!

On a Saturday right after lunch and the place was not busy so we were quickly visited and served. the place is beautiful and clean. that was great. really enjoyed their rams as well as the takoyaki and karaage for appetizers.

Ramen was delicious. I had the one veg ramen option, which was the Yasai Shoyu ramen with shiitake mushroom broth. The rest are pork. The rice dishes looked really good, as I saw them at a few tables. Appetizers were fabulous. All in all, great spot for ramen, my only wish is that they offered more to drink. At least a small selection of tea. But water worked!
