We have been to Ramen House a number of times, mostly for lunch. This restaurant serves authentic and very tasty Shanghai and Szechuan cuisines, (and NOT Indian cuisine as noted in the review by koolkookaburra - please correct as it will confuse readers). We come here because the food is consistently good and there is also a wide variety of food. The service is generally good, depending on how busy the restaurant is. Sunday for lunch is generally not very busy.
I don't know why this place is called Ramen House because it's not a Japanese restaurant, more so Chinese cuisine. It's 大街小廚 in Chinese. I do like the food. The chinese food is quite authentic.
I usually judge a Chinese restaurant by how good it's kung pao chicken is, and Ramen House has one of the three best I've tried in Vancouver, along with Lin's and Fortune Garden. Unfortunately, the only other dishes I've tried have been appetizers, so if you're not a kung pao fan, my review isn't likely to be very helpful, though the three or four appetizers I've tried have been excellent.
Great place to order out from. Ordered the Ginger Beef, 干煸牛肉, and the Fish sliced in rice wine sauce, 糟溜魚片, both were so good! I love their selection and will definitely order from them again!
Ate here for the first time. The in house made dim sum dumplings were great however the spicy hot pot was overwhelmingly salty to the point we had to pick the seafood out and leave the rest.
Authentic. Grew up in Shanghai, China. I think it is one of the most authentic restaurants you can find in town. Some locals might not like it. However, if you really want to have some good food, go there. It's just the name of the restaurant is misleading. It's completely different from a ramen house. So yeah, if you wanna try some real chinese food, that's the place to go.
It's not Ramen. The Chinese name loosely translates into "Little kitchen on Broadway."
Pretty decent fairly authentic Szechuan fare...but it isn't Ramen.
I went in there asking for the Ramen menu. The owner looked at me and said that they made the ramen in-house.
The food is good, the service is sporadic but it isn't ramen. I went in there and was highly confused because I could not find any ramen on the menu.
Holy juicy dumplings! And the cold jelly noodles in chili sauce is the best I've had. The seew long bao is made right in front of you! The food is amazing here. Way better than Peaceful restaurant however be warned that the wait is atrocious. If you're OK to wait 45 minutes, your taste buds are in for a treat.
Food is very 9.5/10. Rare Chinese restaraunt that is authentic, and exceed expectation in colors and presentation. They specialize in shanghainese dim sum, but is surprisingly as good or better in stir fry, seafood, and even northern, and taiwanese cusine. Xiu long bao is one of the best. Service lack of promptness is only downfall if picked on
Very good authentic Chinese. (with confused labelling). They offer solid quality authentic Chinese food. The broth of both soups I tried were clean and free of cheap-tasting chemicals. I ordered sesame shaobing (they labelled it "Sesame Sandwich" but I think it should be "baked savoury sesame pastry" or something) out of nostalgia and it did not disappoint. It was made fresh (I just wish it was sweet vs. savoury, but oh well).
Like blogger Krispy Bites said, this is a "seemingly confused restaurant" - if you are looking for Japanese ramen, you won't get it here. Instead, they have the Chinese predecessor of ramen, the pulled handcrafted noodles, kind of in the league of Peaceful and Sha Lin...but just decided to label it incorrectly (and confusing and disappointing some customers).
