Downtown Toledo ramen with the Friday-night ritual

Duck shoyu, Chashu Don, and the Friday Night Ramen regulars plan around

The story

The Friday Night Ramen ritual

Kato Ramen on S St Clair is where downtown Toledo gets honest-to-God 10/10 ramen on a Friday night. Duck shoyu is the featured bowl. Chashu Don holds its own. Bao buns open the meal. The room is small, fresh, and homey, and regulars plan their Fridays around the seat at the counter. Open at 11 most days.

In their words

"WOW! If you're looking for a fabulous, fresh, delicious, homey restaurant, look no further. Kato Ramen blew my expectations right out of the water! Everything from the appetizers to the main courses were delicious. The Chashu Don is incredible."

"One of the few times a place is as good as advertised. The bao buns were more like a bao sandwich. The featured duck shoyu ramen — let me tell you the duck was among the best."

"We've made it out here for two Friday Night Ramen nights and both times were excellent. The atmosphere, the staff, the food, and the service are all an honest-to-God 10/10. We will definitely be back."
