Chefs at Kanada-Ya
Kanada-Ya is an independent chain of award winning Ramen bars, so far spanning 4 countries. We currently have 6 super busy locations here in the capital, each serving a delicious selection of Japanese delights.
Authenticity is at the heart of our menu and we import many of our ingredients from Japan to help us achieve the rich, deep and deeply loved flavours that we are famous for.
Our speciality Tonkotsu ramen boasts an 18-hour cooked pork bone broth, batch crafted with love using traditional techniques learned from the Motherland. Added to this succulent, rich and flavourful broth are Hakata style wheat noodles, beautifully braised chashu pork belly and a superb selection of toppings all sourced from Japan. Our bold bowls are much beloved by our regular diners and newcomers alike.
