Ramen ( rmen?, IPA: [ame]) is a Japanese noodle dish. It consists of Chinese-style wheat noodles served in a meat- or fish-based broth, often flavored with soy sauce or miso, and uses toppings such as sliced pork ( chsh?), dried seaweed ( nori?), kamaboko, green onions, and occasionally corn. Almost every locality in Japan has its own variation of ramen, from the tonkotsu (pork bone broth) ramen of Kyushu to the miso ramen of Hokkaido.

My favorite ramen place in vancouver. This is the reference ramen I base my ramen reviews from.

I don't like lineups.

I like the broth and the pork jowl.  A very satisfying experience.

I don't like the lineups and how they hurry you to finish quickly.

After moving to their current location, the quality is just not the same.

I wouldn't go back.

The place: Lots of room compared to other ramen places.  Friendly staff.

The food:  We were in a hurry as they were almost closing.  I had the shoyu ramen.

The verdict:  Very Salty.  I would rather go somewhere else.
