We didn’t stumble into frozen ramen.
We traveled all over Japan, trained at a ramen school, opened two restaurants, and spent years obsessing over broth, noodles, tares, toppings and oils.
That’s what makes Crafty different from other frozen ramen out there. Our frozen ramen starts where a lot of frozen food doesn’t get close: a real ramen shop kitchen.
Chef-made recipes. Scratch made noodles. Real toppings. Frozen for your convenience.
If you’ve never tried restaurant-quality frozen ramen, this is where to start.
Available in frozen aisles all across the country. 🇨🇦
Drop a 🍜 below if you’ve tried us before and tell us your go-to bowl.

That's a WRAP 🍜♥️
6 warehouses, thousands and thousands of samples, and so much love.
Our Crafty community showed up in a way we couldn't have imagined.
From hometown heroes and day one regulars to all the new friends we've met along the way, we were blown away by your support and cannot thank you enough.
Thank you to also the amazing folks at Costco and the incredible team at CDS who helped us hand out thousands of samples.
This was an amazing experience, and a LOT of hard work 😅, but we were so grateful for the opportunity to help achieve our goal of sharing our ramen with even more communities.

Regionality and innovation have always been pillars at Crafty Ramen.
We're constantly inspired by the cultures, flavours, and communities that make our region and Canada so wonderfully diverse.
Brand new to our Noodle Shops, our Beef Birria Ramen is a little love letter to that idea.
Beef brisket birria, tomatillo salsa, cheese, black beans, white onions and cilantro in a bold and aromatic birria broth.
Available only at our Noodle Shops in Guelph and Kitchener 👀

Brisket or bust? 🤔
The Pitmasters Brisket Ramen is set to return to the Crafty vault, but will public backlash cause a first-ever reversal on a limited time offer?

Expo West lfggggg! 🍜🚀
Two years ago we walked this floor as visitors… dreaming about what it would be like to one day show up with our own ramen.
At the time it felt incredibly far away.
Fast forward to today and somehow we’re actually here.
From a tiny ramen shop in Guelph to one of the biggest food shows in North America, where we get to share our ramen with people from all over the world.
Pretty surreal. ♥️
Grateful to be on this ride with our team, our partners, and everyone who’s believed in Crafty from the beginning.

Is Big Ramen tailing us...?
Thanks to your support, our Costco Roadshow has been going really well! But perhaps we are attracting some... unwanted attention.

Guelph ➝ Expo West… here we come! 🍜✈️
From day one, our goal’s been simple: make ramen that feels like comfort in a bowl, and share that comfort with more tables, more kitchens, more communities.
Going from a tiny ramen shop in Guelph to one of North America’s biggest grocery trade shows is kinda surreal (and we hope we packed enough noodles).
, we’re ready.
Will you be there? Drop us a line so we can connect! 👋

Celebrating 9 years of Crafty Ramen 🎂
From serving a lineup down the block in our tiny restaurant on day one, to building a walk in freezer the same size as that first restaurant nine years later, this has been a wild ride!
There have been so many people who have been a huge part of this journey. Whether, you've been around from day one in Guelph, or grabbing us in freezer aisles across the country: from the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
We wouldn't be here without this incredible community.
Let's see what our tenth year brings... Big things on the horizon! 👀♥️
