in mid december i had the absolute pleasure of enjoying this spicy miso ramen before spending some time at the royal ontario museum (like i do every third tuesday of the month), half-baked ogling at the rocks and minerals exhibit on the third floor.
this spot is by no means some hidden gem, but it’s rare for me to experience a restaurant that lives up to its praise (looking at you two, fresca and craig's cookies) and i was also pleasantly surprised to see cocktails for under $10!
in a cave of mediocre food spots in the yonge/wellesley area, ramen raijin is shiny treasure. they don’t do reservations and the atmosphere discourages campers at tables so operations run smoothly; everything from the demeanour of their staff to the quality of the food radiates excellence… i will be returning and tipping generously <3

genuinely some of the best ramen i’ve had! the vibe and atmosphere was so perfect as well so casual and calming. literally perfect for just a nice meal out!

cute, cozy spot with satisfying, inexpensive and tasty onigiri. kind, family oriented service.
they constantly have billie eilish and sade bumping.
closed sunday and monday (learned the hard way which is a lead-in to my next recc, “check maps for hours”).

some of the best Tsukemen in the city i reckon. really great stuff
last night i turned my back to the light and got regular ramen and it paled in comparison to their flagship dipping noodles.
the perfect move while you're waiting 2.5 hours to bowl

she’s the one who keeps our emotions and hydration levels in check. i dunno about anyone else but i’ve been crazy dehydrated lately — there’s a full moon tomorrow PLUS “daylight saving time” begins...
this is also a new moon in pisces sooo i could be fully delusional. as with most things, only time can tell!
