Kintaro Ramen is commonly referenced as one of the most favoured ramen restaurants in Vancouver, so I had to try it and see what all the fuss was about.
Compared to other big name ramen restaurants in the city that focus on specific aspects of the ramen experience such as a rich and flavourful brot
Good:
1. Huge portion, me, my wife, my 2 y/o baby can’t even finish two bowls. I felt one ramen might be enough for us. It is the biggest portion I have seen in Vancouver.
2. Good value for money. So much noodle and meat for $15, considering the high inflation now, it is dirt cheap.
Need improvemen
Japanese ramen made by real Japanese people. Cheap and great atmosphere, you can sit on the bar and watch them making ramen. You can choose fat/lean level of chashu. Some ramen such as cheese ramen is like a creation towards local taste. It is great but may not be at god level.
It was a nice and friendly experience. I got the spicy ramen this time, with rich soup and lean meat, but it was not as spicy as my friend and I were expected. We got the side meat for $1.50, which serves as an "appy" to munch on while waiting for the main.
This place was pretty good, if you can get in without waiting in line, even better. It’s a small ramen shop but makes huge portions of delicious bowls of ramen. The broth was pretty flavourful and I left extremely satisfied.
It’s been a while since we last came here, still keeping its good quality with its ramen. They have the best cheese ramen in town! Just need to remind myself next time that fatty pork is better than lean one.
One of the top 5 ramen place we have tried in Vancouver. We waited for almost an hour to be seated since theres was a long line.
We ordered Shio and Miso Ramen plus gyoza. It taste good. We ordered extra corn, seaweed, garlic, and shreded pork.
Overall, good price, small but warm place, and super
I usually see lineup outside place so wanted to check out what the hype is all about. Unfortunately I was quite disappointed. Ordered bbq pork (half lean and half fatty) miso ramen. Lean pork was super dry and the fatty one not as juicy. Broth was ok. Service is good but the interior is kinda dreary
