" After hearing rave reviews, I finally made my way to Nobuya. The moment I stepped inside, I was welcomed warmly by the owner, who was clearly passionate about serving authentic food. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen and some takoyaki; both were phenomenal! The flavors were rich and true to Japanese cuisine. The ambiance is casual yet inviting, making it a great spot for dinner. It's a one-man operation, but it adds to the charm — just be prepared to wait a little longer. Overall, a delightful experience that I would highly recommend to any ramen lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" On a quest for ramen, I landed at Nobuya based on high recommendations and it truly is a local gem! The flavors in the ramen were authentic and comforting, with a well-balanced broth that was neither too heavy nor light. The only downside? A bit of a wait because it’s just the owner running the whole show, but the incredible food made it worth it! The intimate setting and conversation with Nobu added a nice personal touch to the meal. I’ll surely be back for another round of that delicious tonkotsu ramen! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is the epitome of what a ramen shop should be! I had the spicy garlic ramen and was blown away by the depth of flavor. The owner treats everyone like family, which makes you feel right at home. It may take a bit of time to get your food since it's just him doing everything, but it's a pleasant space to wait — the feel is cozy! I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. I’ll be back!

" Nobuya is the perfect place if you're looking for genuine Japanese ramen. I was amazed at the ripeness of the ingredients in their dishes! The owner makes everything from scratch, and you can taste the difference. The takoyaki was also top-notch. Yes, there's a wait, but it feels intimate and rewarding once you get your dish. I felt like I was indulging in a piece of Japan right in Toronto! Can't wait to go back and try more from the menu. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

You can tell the ingredients are fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The atmosphere is just perfect for a casual meal, cozy and warm. Just be prepared for a wait, as it's a one-man operation! Overall, fantastic ramen experience — highly recommend for anyone who craves authenticity! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Nobuya last week and was thoroughly impressed! I had heard good things, but it exceeded my expectations. The ramen is true to its roots with a deeply flavorful broth that keeps you wanting more. The owner was very welcoming and personable, making us feel right at home. It was clear he puts a lot of love into his food. My only advice is to come with some time to spare as it can get busy, but believe me, the wait is well worth it. The ambiance is cozy — perfect for enjoying a quiet meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Nobuya hoping for great ramen and was utterly delighted! The owner is extremely personable and his passion is evident in the food he serves. I had the Pork Spicy Shoyu Ramen, which was rich, hearty, and left me craving more! It's essential to be patient because the wait time is longer due to him running the show alone. But, trust me, it pays off! An intimate and authentic dining experience that reminded me of the ramen shops I visited in Japan. I will undoubtedly be returning! " (*Curated Review*)
