J7 Ramen at 107 Brock St S in Whitby offers a casual yet carefully crafted dining experience centered on authentic Japanese ramen and izakaya-style dishes. This sit-down restaurant feels inviting without fuss, with a calm and cozy atmosphere that suits both quiet dinners and relaxed meetups with friends.

The menu highlights various pork-based ramen bowls like the Spicy Pork, Pork Shio, and Pork Miso Ramen, each accompanied by generous noodles, a richly seasoned broth, and the kind of tender pork slices that suggest a gentle sear before being added. For those who prefer a mix, the karaage ramen options bring crispy fried chicken pieces into the soup, providing a satisfying contrast of textures. Vegetarian options are also available, reflecting a thoughtful approach to broader tastes.

Beyond ramen, J7 Ramen offers classic sides that work well for sharing or as an easy accompaniment to the main dish; takoyaki, edamame, and kimchi provide little flavorful bites that balance the warmly spiced bowls. The fried chicken here, both regular and spicy versions, is a popular choice that complements the menu’s rich, savory themes.

The room itself encourages lingering without pressure. The service is notably attentive but relaxed, typically delivered by staff who are familiar faces or even the owner, lending a personable touch to each visit. This atmosphere suits both casual lunches and low-key date nights.

For locals, J7 Ramen fits well as a spot to satisfy a more specific craving — hearty, authentic Japanese noodle soups made with fresh ingredients and carefully balanced flavors. Those who appreciate a ramen bowl with depth, whether spiced or subtly flavored with miso or shio, will find consistent quality here. The restaurant performs well as a lunch stop when you want something quick but satisfying, or as a dinner option when you want to slow down and enjoy a comforting meal.

In short, if you’re in Whitby and craving well-executed ramen with a side of friendly, unhurried hospitality, J7 Ramen provides a grounded experience that feels both familiar and thoughtfully prepared.

Every time we go to J7 Ramen, the experience is amazing. Our favorite is the Pork Spicy Ramen, always full of flavor, and we love adding extras like corn and pork, which make the dish even more delicious. The restaurant has a calm and cozy atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a good meal without any rush. The man who usually attends us (I believe he’s the owner) is always very kind and welcoming. Today, they even gave us complimentary dumplings as a thank you for being frequent customers — and they were absolutely delicious. Without a doubt, J7 Ramen stands out not only for its incredible flavor but also for its outstanding service. We always leave satisfied and looking forward to coming back.

Enjoyed coming here, I got the pork shio and it was very good. Lots of noodles and broth. I opted for an extra egg though they were big eggs so honestly one is good enough. I have had the quail eggs at another Ramen place and I think I prefer those, though these regular eggs are fine. The pork slices seem to be seared before they are added in and the flavour from them is SO good. We tried the dumplings with the spicy mayo sauce as well and they were delicious. Would come back here in the future.

We went on a Sunday at lunchtime (1:30 pm). It was quiet and calming, just what I needed. The waiter greeted us and handed us the menu. The menu is nice and simple. Easy to read, easy to understand, and easy to order. For appetizers, we ordered the Takoyaki, Chicken Karaage, and Takowasabi. The Takoyaki and Chicken Karaage were good (standard flavors). The Takowasabi, on the other hand, was a surprise. It looked almost like an octopus ceviche with some vegetables mixed in it and some seaweed on the side. We grab the seaweed, scoop some Takowasabi in it, and eat it. You DEFINITELY taste AND feel the wasabi. It is almost too much, but then it calms down, and you start to taste the saltiness and umami of the Takowasabi . It's definitely fun to it. We then order the RAMEN! lol We order Pork Miso ramen with thick noodles and Vegetarian Shio (Soy broth) ramen with thick noodles. The Vegetarian ramen comes with lots of veggies, and the shio broth is light but full of flavor. The Pork Miso ramen (my order) was freakin delicious. The noodles are light and have a nice chew to it. The pork slices are thick and cooked nicely with lots of yummy garlic. All on all, the ramen was flavourful and tasted clean, meaning you taste what needs to be in the ramen and no extra overpowering ingredients. Would definitely come back here

Located in the centre of the little town. Warmly welcome by the owner. The store is quite and clean. The broth was ok and the noodle was cooked well. Loads of meat in the bowl. I believe this is the only Ramen in the town and nothing to complain, lol.

J7 ramen is the go to spot for delicious ramen in Whitby. The ramen is fantastic and the pork is the most tender we’ve had any ramen establishment. Pork shoyu and spicy pork are our favourites. Don’t forget to order the Kyoza too! Thank you Jin for always greeting us with a smile, we’ll see you soon for our next fix!
