Ramen Buta-Nibo

Ramen Buta-Nibo is a Japanese ramen restaurant on Danforth Avenue in Toronto's Pape neighbourhood, from the team behind Ryus Noodle Bar. The restaurant introduced Toronto to Jiro-style ramen — a bold, rich eating experience rooted in Japan's underground ramen culture. The menu centres on two signature broths: the Buta, a thick pork-based bowl enriched with fats and oil, and the Nibo, a lighter dried sardine broth layered with umami. Additional favourites include the Shoyu Niboshi, a clear anchovy and bonito broth, and the Vegetarian Miso Ramen topped with fried tofu and fresh vegetables. Generous portion sizes and consistent quality make this a go-to destination for ramen enthusiasts on Danforth Avenue, East Toronto.
