It is the war of the ramen down here at the end of Denman and Robson. So many choices of where to go to spend your hard earned 'bling' for that perfect bowl of ramen delight. Right along Denman, going toward Georgia Street, this little restaurant…More »

A nice Saturday morning meal after a lack of sleep, and a bit too much alcohol, and feeling like something filling and soupy. Walked around the Denman and Robson area and was really feeling the urge for ramen, and due to a lineup at a certain popular…More »

The craze of ramen shops, and the Denman-Robson area, where Kintaro, for all I remembered, had line-ups when opening on the weekend. The place is simple, as in decor, interior, where I can almost call this a 'shack'. There is no fine, flashy, nice…More »

Not thinking of this area much for anything ramen, this little place was a pleasant surprise. A stone's throw away from the High Gate plaza, on the north side of Kingsway, this little place was pretty quiet on the night I was here, but did not take…More »

An udon craving, not ramen, udon, is what I have had ever since being in Waikiki and Murakame where this noodle thinking and wanting has kept me searching for a fix! Vancouver has been overrun in the last few years with Ramen joints, where this place…More »
