My son always bring me here whenever im in Vancouver. The best ramen ever. The place is tiny, long cue as always, but it’s worth waiting.
Satisfied customer here from Norway ��
Luckily we got seated pretty quickly upon arrival, service was great. Vegetarian Ramen, didn’t look all that appetizing in the menu photo, but it was beyond tasty. Seasoned soft boiled egg was on point.
My only qualm was that they seemed to play the same two songs in a loop ad nauseam. Maybe this is a ploy to get people to leave quicker.
All in all, great experience.
There was a bit of a wait at this restaurant- I wouldn't say that there's an ample amount of seating. It's quite squishy near the entrance; when I was paying, there was staff trying to get past me, which wasn't great. The service is average. I really enjoyed the hard noodles in the ramen. I ordered the Shio ramen, which was pretty spot on for me; good size and taste. However, the pork in the ramen was a little too hard- I would have like it more if it was softer. I didn't enjoy the gyoza though, which I thought could be crispier than it was. Definitely one of the better ramen places!
This is probably the best ramen restaurant i have been in outside Japan.
The venue is unremarkable but it is very busy and for good reason. The food is delicious. Intense well flavoured and properly presented. Service is reasonable and staff helpful.
A must if you are in the city.
My favourite ramen place from what I've tried in Vancouver so far. Often a line-up out the door and all the way down and past the store front during peak hours. Interior is pretty small but smart use of space, warm and homey. All soups have a rich broth that brings across umami flavour super well. Meat cuts are substantial and the combos are great for when you're really hungry. No such thing as a bad side order here. Recommend the gyoza- nice, light, crispy. Just all around fantastic ramen. Also enjoyed Hokkaido Ramen Santouka in the Philippines. Flavour is consistent! Felt like I was eating back home in Vancouver.
Tasty ramen, but I've had better. The broth in the shio ramen was definitely the best part - unctuous and comforting. However, I don't think the noodles were fresh. The standard ramen bowl also doesn't come with many toppings, so be prepared for a slightly expensive ramen meal if you want to add anything. I got steamed vegetables and a soft-boiled egg - I wouldn't recommend either. I also tried the miso ramen. I would recommend the shio over the miso.
Probably one of the best ramen places in town!
Large selection of ramen dishes, cooked to perfection - the broth is creamy and flavourful.
The gyozas is delicious as well.
Best Ramen in Vancouver. It's a busy place with fast service and usually a line, but quick turnover. Worth the wait. They always play jazz which Gives it a classy and classic ambiance. My fave dish is the Toronikku Shoyu Ramen, and gyozas. No other broths compare to theirs. Now they have two locations too. Highly recommended.
Best Ramen you can get your hands on and yes! Even the soups are out of this world!! A must try if in downtown for a good fill of nutritious and delicious foood :)
There's a reason this is one of the most popular Ramen places in this neighborhood. Their menu is large, but their best item is by far their Ramen. The broth is rich and everything is so flavorful.
Delicious!! Cost-friendly! Authentic Japanese ramen! A must visit in Vancouver every time! 5 stars!! May have short lineups during lunch & dinner hours.
I've had a lot of ramen all over the world... Including Tokyo. The ramen here was great by any standards. I tried the house special ramen with miso base & peanut sauce. It was amazing. I'll definitely go again.
Wow this is one of the best spicy garlic ramen soups i’ve had! Hokkaido Ramen Santouka never fails to impress. It’s that good!
The pork is so juicy and sweet. Cooked perfectly! I absolutely love it.
The pork belly on the side that my friend was good too!
The ramen is good specially the Robson special ramen but it's not the best one in town.
The porc pieces were delicious as well
I give a 5 star to the food but the service can be improved, it's a bit slow and other ramen places have variety stuff for free like sesame oil, sesame seeds, fried garlic chops, soy sauce, hot sauce, etc but in this place you have to pay extra for all those things
Also the washrooms weren't clear
We loved this place. Flew in from Ontario and were craving a delicious bowl of Ramen. Hokkaido did not disappoint. It was crazy busy but we only had to wait about 15 minutes for a seat inside. The service was super fast and the food was mouth watering. Lots of choices and everything was 10/10. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for some yummy eats!
Of all the ramen places we went to in Vancouver, this is by far our favourite.
They have the always delicious tsukemen which many places do not have and their small rice bowls are great as I cannot get enough of the ikura bowl.
The food is great here and the service fast.
The price is what you would expect at most ramen places in town, but it's worth the price and wait.
Very intricate flavor from this ramen house!
Quite different from other ramen houses in Vancouver, definitely not the best imo, but 100% worth trying. Love the Chashu!
I will be back to try other flavors!
Very friendly service, thank you!
I got the tsukemen (regular flavour), and the noodles were very chewy. The broth wasn't as thick as I hoped, and it was on the saltier side. It came with small meat cubes. The hard boiled egg it came with was also not runny, which wasn't my preference. If I've never had tsukemen before I would've thought it was great. But since there are so many ramen shops downtown, the competition is tough and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Overall, it was still okay and would recommend giving this place a try still.
Great ramen shop! Rich broth. Chewy (in a good way) noodles. Plump gyoza. What's not to love? The staff is polite and attentive too. I've been coming here for over 3yrs now. Consistently good. Photo shows the miso ramen with ajitama (egg) and pork gyoza.
Just love Santouka. Definitely my favorite ramen place in Vancouver. Very rich and unique flavour. Always a must eat when we come here.
