Ramen: Vancouver

Ready, set, go and get your slurp on! Slurping noodles is considered evidence of enjoying the meal in Japanese culture, but if you're like me and shy, do a mini slurp.

Coming to Ramen Santouka is like the date you can't wait to see and whom never disappoints you.  Unreal, right?

I highly suggest the Toroniku ramen (simmered pork jowl that melts in your mouth) with the Shio broth base.  If I'm really hungry, I get…More »

My mom was in town to visit and prefers to eat organic, so my fiance suggested that we come here to better suit her particular palate.

I had no expectations, so was pleasantly surprised to receive my spicy miso ramen with organic chicken on my own…More »

Of all the ramen houses in Vancouver, this is my least favorite.  

I've been here a number of times when friends want to eat here, but I find that the broth is not memorable, no matter which one I try.  I also know I'm in trouble when I overlook the…More »

With that much fat floating in the broth and on your pork, I can't say that this ramen is flavorless...however, if you are rather conscious of your fat intake for health reasons, this is most certainly NOT a recommended place for you.  

If you enjoy…More »

Between the two occassions that I have been here, I've tried their ramen with three different soup bases (Nagahama/Tonkatsu, Miso Tonkatsu, and Shoyu).  Sadly, none of them stand out, but if I had to choose one to recommend it would be the Shoyu…More »

Pro:  It's not located near all the other ramen shops, but rather on the opposite end of downtown...which means that if were far from the West End, you now have a ramen restaurant near you.
Con:  The price is steep for your portion...and the veggies…More »
