Marusan

Marusan specializes in Hakata-style ramen, which is known for its rich, creamy tonkotsu (pork bone) broth. The restaurant is located in the Time Out Market, in the heart of downtown Montréal. The ramen I ordered came with a soft-boiled egg, bamboo shoots, seaweed and green onions. The broth was very good, and the noodles were cooked to perfection. The chashu was also top notch – it was very tender, and the fatty parts of the meat were perfectly balanced with lean meat. One bite was all it took for me, and that’s all it will take to get you hooked, too.
