For the ultimate Santouka experience, there's no choice but the LARGE Tonkotsu Toroniku with an egg on top! Go with Shio for a classic flavor. The pork cheek perfectly tender and juicy.

Ian Kennedy

If it’s crowded , leave your phone number and head over to the Harvard Bookstore down the block. They’ll text you when your table is ready.

Shio ramen w/ aji-tama (marinated soft boiled egg ). Takoyaki is delicious! Really light and fluffy!

Marc Ebuna

I love the Shoyu Ramen ! The noodles are lovingly hand-cut and the broth made from scratch. Delectable pork belly topped with some nori and naruto!

Cameron W

Just as good as the LA and bay area locations. Highly recommended. Get the special pork with salt broth. You won’t regret it.

Elaine Courtney

Still probably the best ramen in the Boston-Cambridge-Somerville area! You won't go wrong with the ikura rice bowl and ramen combo.

Constantin W

Authentic Ramen ! Tsukemen only on the weekend! The gyoza are very tasty! The pork is very soft :)

Jamie Lin

The small size is still really filling! Eggs are extra but worth it. Don't forget to start your meal with their great takoyaki !

Leach E. E.

Fourth of the four broth choices (chilli miso ) good. Order an egg on the side--soft-boiled!

Seong Hwang

Ramen is pretty good here. Aji-tama on the side is a good complement to ramen . Spicy miso ramen I recommend.

Rich Sarchioni

Everything, I like the signature tokonotsu (sp) ramen . No booze but food is so worth it and service is fast.

Karla Paola

Ramen it’s my fav but my husbands Lao loves the takoyaki ????

Mika

This is for me the best ramen in the Boston area. Much preferred over Yume.

Philip Seifi

Excellent Hokkaido ramen , variety of broths, authentic atmosphere, friendly Japanese-speaking service.

How does a ramen restaurant not give/sell extra noodles . You can get extra noodles for the tsukeman but can’t get extra noodles for regular ramen ...

Carl Lu Yin

Very good tonkatsu ramen ! Try the pork cheek meat

M K

The pork belly is spot on, great soft boiled egg too

Hailey Crowel

Definitely one of the best places in town for ramen . The ramen/gyoza deal is awesome

Rosie Martinez

Love having ramen in the area, noodles are perfect, broth is light but flavorful

Tim Luo

Best ramen in Boston hands down. Come here multiple times and try different broths!

Tung Duong

Delicious meat and salmon ^^

Rita Baltazar

If you like spicy food go for the Kara Miso Ramen .

Ryan Nixon

Great ramen , loved the pork cheek

J

Decent ramen (won't be groundbreaking), but one of the better Harvard square choices. Quite popular & wait times are usually 15-20 minutes in the evening.

Zach Parker

Santouka Harvard Square at 9 minutes to the north of Allston and Boston real estate agency .jpg

Baris Wanschers

No veggies ramen on the menu but if you ask them they can make it. You get a vegetation broth and they substitute the meat with eggs .

Cat Lo

Great ramen , good broths!

William Gao Yuan

Their tsukemen is amazing! Make sure you eat it when the broth is still hot

Harry Ozkaya

Most tender pork and best flavored eggs ! Awesome Ramen !

Steve Craig

Excellent value and presentation on the $5 kids meal !

Sandra Rubinchik

Is this place casual ? Upscale ? It can't decide. And the spicy ramen is anything but spicy .

Margaret Wang

Good ramen , but pricey . I prefer the ramen places I've been to in New York.

Sophia H

Good ramen but a bit salty (it might be just me, since all ramen bowls seemed a bit salty to me). Shoyu was good, but shio seemed better to me, dang.

Cathy Lee

Amazing noodle texture, small portion available!

Federico Asara

Best ramen I ever had, the pork is awesome.

James Ho

Best takoyaki I've had in Boston/Cambridge area

Max

Very lightly battered Kara-age with lemon is excellent.

Sarah Nixon

Miso ramen has a fantastic depth of flavor

Kim Pham

Boston is stepping up its ramen game! Dive into a bowl of the shio ????

Eric Scott

The goma miso ramen is the best

Spencer Schoeben

Manuela McDanal

Ramen is amazing

Léna Le Rolland

Good ramen , great service!

Great flavor, but the actual ramen is alright.

Patricia M.

Their ramen can be made vegetarian friendly

Gshocker

Try the corn and butter side topping.

Minty the Great

Tsukemen, Shio Ramen and fried chicken

Rem Koning

Ramen . Egg . Broth cuts the chill nicely.

Tian Fang

I would say the appetite rice is better than the ramen . Nice service though.
