12 Best Ramen Spots in Winnipeg Guaranteed to Make You a Regular
Whenever the weather starts to get a bit chilly in the Peg, I head straight to my favorite ramen spot and order a big, steaming bowl.
I swirl the noodles around my chopsticks, then take that first delicious slurp—the rich, savory broth warms me up instantly.
I also enjoy noodles that have just the right bite, and sometimes, I pour a bit of chili oil in the broth. The longer I eat, the more the toppings melt together beautifully.
My day always gets better after I finish an entire bowl. So, if you’re also craving the same kind of cozy comfort, here are the top ramen restaurants in Winnipeg you absolutely need to try.

Must-Order: Beef Spicy Garlic Ramen
Kinton Ramen has made its mark in Winnipeg as part of a beloved Canadian brand, and trust me, they don’t mess around when it comes to ramen. Just ask their Executive Chef, Aki, who brings authentic Japanese flavors into every bowl.
My go-to order is their Beef Spicy Garlic Ramen. It’s a fiery, flavor-packed bowl with tender beef, wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and just the right punch of chili—the edible equivalent of a thick, warm blanket.
What’s cool is that you can also build your own ramen here by picking your soup base, the flavor profile, your noodle style, and toppings.
Pair your Kinto ramen with a cold one during their Sapporo Happy Hour. From Monday to Friday, from 2 PM to 5 PM and 8 PM to closing, you can sip Sapporo cocktails or draft beer for just $6.99.
Pro Tip:
For that fellow noodle lover in your life, grab either a physical Kinka Family gift card at any of their locations or an e-gift card online.

Must-Order: Tonkotsu Ramen
Hello Asian Fusion is the passion project of three ambitious gents from Hong Kong who wanted to bring authentic, homemade Asian flavors to the Peg.
Their claim to fame is their “Hellomen”, a shrimp ramen that’s thick and creamy. The broth is rich without being heavy, and the chewy noodles have that perfect bounce.
But my personal pick is actually their Tonkotsu Ramen—it’s creamy, comforting, and rich. Every time I eat it, I feel like I’m back in Japan, slurping noodles in a humble ramen shop located in an alley.
If you still have room for dessert, pair your ramen with a slice of their signature Japanese Cheesecake. This fluffy offering is light, airy, and just sweet enough to round out your homey meal.
Pro Tip:
Hello Asian Fusion is all about customization. All the main courses here can be made gluten-free if you ask. And if you’re extra hungry, add 300 grams of noodles for just $3 or 400 grams for $5.

Must-Order: Elf`s Garden Ramen
Isekai—which means “another world”— is exactly what its name promises. It takes you to a fantasy realm, where each ramen bowl offers pure happiness.
To push the other-world theme even further, their menu reads like an epic quest. You’ll find ramen dishes like Dwarf’s Curry, Dragon’s Marrow Broth, and Phoenix Volcano.
As for me, I can’t resist their Elf’s Garden Ramen. It has a silky pork and chicken butter-miso base topped with tofu, beet chips, and even a cute, edible wafer butterfly!
The magic starts with their house-made soups, simmered with rare ingredients to unlock deep, layered flavors. Combine that with their original handmade noodles, and you’ve got yourself an unforgettable meal.
Pro Tip:
If you want something sweet to pair with your savory bowl, try Isekai Ramen’s Salamander Popping Boba Float. The glossy orange boba pearls look like salamander eggs, making the drink both refreshing and Insta-worthy!

Their Tonkotsu Ramen is such a flavor bomb. Imagine a steaming bowl of rich broth, with super tender slices of pork nestled inside, plus that iconic sheet of seaweed paper floating on top.
What I really love here is their prices; you can eat so well without stressing your budget at all. No wonder it has become a haunt for college students and young pros!
And let’s not forget the little perks—free green tea after your meal, and sometimes even surprise freebies like a slushy drink or hot chocolate if you catch the right promo.

Must-Order: Tsurai Ramen
Yujiro Japanese Restaurant has been a cornerstone of the River Heights dining scene for over 20 years. In fact, they’ve earned a spot on Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants list, and once you eat here, you’ll understand why.
A lot of the credit goes to Chef Edward Lam, co-owner and operator, who brought ramen into Yujiro’s lunch menu. What started as a bold addition became a runaway hit, even inspiring other ramen spots around Winnipeg to step up.
If you’re after a bold flavor, Tsurai Ramen is the one to order—its miso broth, made with fish and chicken, packs real depth. You can choose between regular and half spicy.
While you wait for your ramen, the open kitchen will entertain you. Watch as the chefs slice, stir, and plate with precision—it’s like a dinner and a show!

As expected, Yujiro is incredibly popular, so reservations are a must if you want to snag a table. Sometimes, they fill up months ahead!

Must-Order: Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen
Tucked inside an Asian market, Edokko Japanese Food is a hole-in-the-wall that you won’t stop going to once you’ve tried their amazing ramen.
I recommend stopping by at lunchtime and ordering their Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen—creamy pork bone broth with that rich, smoky black garlic oil. The noodles have that perfect chew, and the chashu pork melts the second you bite in.
Before you head out, browse their Japanese grocery shelves. They have fresh salmon and tuna for DIY sashimi nights, wagashi, and premium green teas to sip at home.
And if you’ve got a crowd to feed, their party trays are an instant win. Packed with colorful nigiri and maki, they’re designed for every type of get-together.
Pro Tip:
Edokko is tiny and only has six tables, so definitely make a reservation if you’re planning to dine in—especially during peak lunch hours. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!

Must-Order: Tonkotsu Miso Ramen
Banza Noodle & Tea House is a cross-cultural restaurant run by passionate foodies. Korean and Japanese food in one spot? Yes, please!
Their open-concept kitchen is definitely a highlight for me. You can literally watch the chefs craft noodles and simmer broth before your eyes.
Sure, the ramen lineup they have is impressive, but the Tonkotsu Miso Ramen is my all-time favorite—a luscious blend of pork and chicken broth with miso. Add-ons like bok choy, bean sprouts, and chili oil are available, too.
Of course, ramen this good deserves a sidekick, so I suggest grabbing their Pudding Milk Tea. This refreshing and slightly indulgent treat balances the richness of the broth.
Pro Tip:

Must-Order: Spicy Chicken Karaage Ramen
Literally translated to “stay sake shop,” GaiJin Izakaya is created for mingling, sharing, and soaking up the charming izakaya atmosphere. Expect the smell of smoky robatayaki and hearty ramen bowls to hit you as soon as you come in.
My number one order here is the Spicy Chicken Kaaraage Ramen—the broth is a spicy garlic miso blend that’s impossible to stop slurping. Nestled inside are perfectly springy noodles, crispy fried chicken, and stir-fried veggies.
Customization here is also part of the fun. You can level up your bowl with add-ons like a soy-marinated egg, bamboo shoots, extra chashu, or tan tan pork.
And since I’m sure you deserve it, check out their curated selection of sake and Japanese beers that pair beautifully with their ramen offerings.

Must-Order: Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen
If you’re a fan of both Japanese and Korean fare, Kazoku Restaurant is the place to be. This spot is an expert in both cuisines, so expect delicious ramen and bibimbap bowls.
The space is on the smaller side, so getting a table during peak hours can sometimes feel like winning the lottery. But honestly, it’s worth the wait once that steaming bowl of ramen lands in front of you.
Speaking of which, don’t miss their Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen. Their house-made pork bone broth is creamy and full-bodied, but the black garlic takes it up a notch.
And for those who love plenty of ramen add-ons, feel free to order more kimchi, bean sprouts, chili oil, meat—the sky’s the limit!
Pro Tip:
Plan your visit to Kazoku for a Tuesday when ramen is just $12.95. You’ll get all the flavor and comfort of your signature bowls at a sweet deal!

Must-Order: Shrimp Ramen
Reverend Ikuta opened Edo Japan 45 years ago as a way to nourish the community, bringing Japanese food to Canada with purpose. Now, that spirit is still pretty much alive in every bowl and plate served.
Their Sage Creek location sits right in the shopping area, easy to reach from Lagimodiere Blvd, and with plenty of parking. That means you can do your errands before and after your ramen feast with no hassle.
Now, if I had to choose, their Shrimp Ramen is my go-to. The broth is just so clean and packed with umami, while the noodles have just the right bite.
You can also build your own ramen bowl–choose from chicken, beef, or tofu, then load it up with veggies like broccoli, carrots, and mushrooms. It’s then served hot off the teppan grill and finished with Edo’s signature teriyaki sauce.
Pro Tip:
To get the most bang for your buck, download the Edo app. You’ll earn coins with every purchase and can redeem them as Edo cash discounts on future orders.

Must-Order: Spicy Miso Ramen
KYU Bistro offers a lot of Japanese comfort classics like ramen, robata, izakaya bites, rice bowls, and stir-fried noodles. No matter your mood, you’ll find something to pair with your bowl.
Spicy Miso Ramen is my jam here—the peanut miso pork broth is rich, creamy, and just nutty enough to make each bite stand out. If you’re really hungry, you can upsize your ramen with extra broth, noodles, and meat.
Vegetarians aren’t left out, either—they offer a veggie version, which comes topped with bean sprouts, mushrooms, corn, tofu, and nori. In fact, my friend said this is just as crave-worthy as the meat-based one!
Pro Tip:
If you’re dining in KYU Bistro, avoid sitting near the doors in colder months. We heard that it can be a bit drafty, which might cool your ramen down faster than you’d like.

Must-Order: Cho Ichi Original
Cho Ichi Ramen is owned by Cho and Tracy, who spent 20 years perfecting their recipes and techniques before finally opening their ramen shop.
For me, it’s all about their Cho Ichi Original—this takes things back to basics with a 12-hour pork broth that’s full of depth and umami. I swear, every slurp feels balanced and comforting.
And if I’m feeling adventurous, I would add extra toppings like a jammy egg, black garlic, chili paste, corn—whatever I’m in the mood for.
Plus, nothing washes away the stress of a workday like hearty ramen paired with ice-cold beer. I normally go for Sapporo Premium or Wasabi Light.
Pro Tip:
Cho Ichi Ramen offers gift cards that start at $25, available for pickup at the restaurant. Just confirm your purchase with the email, and you’ve got the perfect gift for the ramen lover in your life.
