Best ramen in Vancouver . Must have the chau siu (pork belly ) on the side.

Eldon Kymson

The best ramen I've had outside of Japan. Ironically enough, it's a Japanese chain. But that's what makes it authentic and awesome.

Y S

Fantastic ramen . Make sure to try the pork jowl ramen , salt flavored. Consider 10 to 15 minute wait time before you get seated around lunch time. Crowded dining area with no privacy, but fun.

Melissa C

Love their Shoyu Ramen ! Milky , creamy, rich broth! Pork cheek is tender, melt in your mouth! Always a line-up... try off hours!

William Ng

I've had Santouka in KL and I must say that this is much better. I tried the Shio and I loved it. Go early to avoid the queues.

Nina Nguyen

Amazing ramen that comes in many varieties and in reasonable portions . Only place in Vancouver where tsuke-men (egg noodles ramen to dip in broth) is served.

George Chang

High quality Japanese ramen place that has made it to the west coast. Pork jowl tonkatsu ramen is my weapon of choice to defeat the noodle cravings. I still dream about that tonkatsu broth.

Gaston Motola Acuna

Well ... supposedly one of the best ramen places in the world, I'm not a ramen fan but I agree, this is very good.

Chiq

Worth the long lines ! Miso ramen with toroniku! Would eat this everyday for the rest of my life! Recommend and will definitely come back!

Amy Luo

Ramen is excellent! They also have "probably the best gyozas in Vancouver" and they are pretty great.

Stephen Chen

We tried all the cha-shu ramen and loved the shio and the Kara miso . They offer combo meals that give you small rice bowl with salmon or pork

Amir N

Kara Miso Ramen all day... Make sure to ask for garlic on the side and drop some in. You'll like the balance it gives the ramen broth.

Toshio N

Delicious ramen . Price was decent. Hard to find seating though. Try not to go in a big party (4+) during dinner hours

Jenee Li

Get the pork jowl (pork cheek ) topping -- super tender and yummy.

Sudhir Datta

This place usually has a line (especially on a rainy day). Not the place to come when you're already starving. But man is the ramen good. Almost as good as in Japan.

Polina Komisarova

Great ramen place ! Really tasty and big portions ????????????

Brandon M.

The pork jowl is so wonderfully tender, fatty, & delicious - get it!

Natalie V

Both tsukemen and shio ramen were good. We were here late (around 1030) so no wait.

Cameron Baillie

Kara miso was great, the custard pudding was the bomb, liquid caramel goodness.

meru

Shio Ramen was great! One of the best Ramen in Vancouver ! They close at 11 pm and they only take cash or debit for payment.

Jessica

Long line ups for lunch ! Make sure all the members of your party are here to get a seat. Washrooms are dirty

Dan Buhler

Definitely get the pork jowl . The staff were all great too!

Kaan Certel

Amazing ramen , not to be missed!

Rachel Lam

Best ramen I have ever had!!! Can't wait until they open in Toronto in October 2012!!!!

Shawn Parkinson

This is luxury ramen . The shio broth is unbelievable. Get the large serving for $1 extra.

Curtis M

Get the Shoyu cha-shu with an extra egg .

decky_2012

Last year, I found this good ramen restaurant . And I've just been to there in this year. Very crowed and logn ques.

Robin W

Shio Ramen with a whole boiled egg added and some spicy chillies. Amazing

Max Blue ????????

Probably the best ramen in the world. Definitely worth the wait!

Matt Ferrari

Great ramen in downtown Vancouver. Open late !

Jenna Anderson

Excellent ramen . Prepare to queue but it's worth the wait.

Rob AyalaNovales

Ramen is just as good as in Japan

Victor Chen

Stopped by here randomly and it was packed. The ramen was delicious!

Jessica Chau

My favourite ramen in Vancouver . They specialize in shio broth, and the pork is melt-in-your-mouth tender.

Darren Lo

Their broth is to die for. It is a tad bit pricier for their combos but with their broth you can't really blame them! I am definitely going back for mor

RichelleMabell

Shio ramen was comforting and delicious. Great flavours and nicely balanced.

My Canada Payday

The winter tantanmen is probably the best single food item in the city . Too bad it's not year-round.

Jimmy Lu

Miso ramen was delicious. Get an egg !

Shelley Chen

So. Good. Their ramen portion is smaller than most other places. If you're still hungry, try their cha-shu rice .

Mingfei Yan

Get the special Tonkatsu ramen !

Saibun Ong

Toruniku shio Ramen and gyoza is perfect for lunch

nneale

Delicious! I'd say it's on par to Kintaro. Plus they have combo sets! Gyoza & Tofu Salad are great too!

Kris Lee

They have the best ramen in town . Always long lineup.

Jacob Ung

#12 toroniku (pork jowl ) shio ramen is the best! Try it!

Neil Bruder

One of my fave ramen places

Karen Hamilton

Amazing ramen and cha-shu gohan . Order a combo of ramen and donburi if you can't decide. Upgrade size of the combo's ramen for $2 more.

Germany Fischer

Toroniku shio Ramen is far the best Shio Ramen in town .

Kevin Ku

Great ramen at an affordable price !

Dana Chung
