    I recommend going early! Since I was having a solo party, I was able to be seated early at the…read morecounter if there were any available seats! The guy in front of me, Deng, looked at me with such envy as he cut in line. This place is incredibly popular! Every time I pass by, there's a long queue. Even on rainy days, people are willing to get soaked in the rain just to have a bowl of hot tonkotsu ramen. While you're queuing, the staff will hand out menus. The ordering system is similar to Ichiran Ramen; you can choose the noodle firmness, broth consistency, spiciness, green onions, oil level, and MSG amount . The basic ramen is only $13. I added a soft-boiled egg and pickled cabbage for $2 each. Although the pickled cabbage is really expensive , I can't help it, I'm a pickled cabbage addict! The pickled cabbage paired with the rich tonkotsu broth was refreshing. The broth was flavorful but not greasy, the noodles were chewy and springy, and the portion size was just right. Overall, it's incredibly good value for money; no wonder there's always a queue. After eating, you really get that "Ah~ this is the taste of happiness" feeling

    Ramen Danbo on Robson Street specializes in traditional Fukuoka-style tonkotsu ramen and has become…read moreone of the most popular ramen spots in downtown Vancouver. The restaurant has a compact, wood-accented interior that feels warm and inviting while keeping service efficient. It's common to see a line stretching down the sidewalk, but the quick turnover and organized staff keep the wait moving at a steady pace. The Classic Tonkotsu Ramen is the reason to come. One of my favorite parts of the experience is being able to customize nearly every aspect of the bowl, from noodle firmness and broth richness to the amount of pork fat. The tonkotsu broth is creamy, rich, and deeply savory without becoming overly heavy, while the thin Hakata-style noodles have a fantastic bite when ordered firm. The slices of braised chashu are tender and flavorful, and adding a soft-boiled egg rounds out the bowl perfectly. If you're in the mood for something with more heat, the Rekka Ramen is an excellent option. The spicy red pepper sauce adds a bold kick that complements the rich pork broth without overpowering it. I also recommend ordering the pan-fried gyoza, which arrive with crisp, golden bottoms and a juicy, savory filling. If you somehow finish the noodles before the broth, you can order a kaedama refill to enjoy another serving without wasting a drop. Despite the constant crowds, service is impressively fast and well organized. Once seated, orders are taken quickly, and bowls arrive piping hot within minutes. The restaurant is better suited for a quick, satisfying meal than a long, leisurely dinner, but the efficient pace is part of what allows them to handle the steady stream of customers so well. Ramen Danbo consistently delivers everything I look for in a great bowl of tonkotsu ramen. The ability to customize each bowl, the rich and balanced broth, and the perfectly cooked noodles make it easy to understand why it remains one of Vancouver's busiest ramen destinations. It's a place I would gladly return to whenever I'm craving authentic Hakata-style ramen.

If you're curious about the rest of their ramen lineup, the ramen flight is a fun way to try them out without committing to just one. Service has been attentive on my visits, and food comes out quickly, which is always appreciated. Last night, I tried their Dine Out Vancouver menu and thought it was excellent value. For $35, it included a Sapporo beer, five pieces of takoyaki, a bowl of Tonkotsu ramen, and mochi ice cream. It also happened to be Sake Friday, so we picked up a bottle at 50% off - hard to complain about that math. The ambience was generally fine, but the staff were doing a photoshoot for their new menu right beside our table. The lighting was extremely bright and the space felt cramped, and since the shoot lasted the entire duration of our meal, it became a bit distracting. Overall, strong food and good value, with a small but avoidable atmosphere miss on this particular visit.

    No better food than ramen for the rainy season. I've always viewed Zubu as more of a Western take…read moreon Japanese ramen, and that's the impression I was left with. To me, there are better choices in town, though their downtown location is quite convenient. Ramen Flight ($22.95): Tonkotsu Ramen, Creamy Chicken Ramen, and Spicy Vegan. Taste-wise, they were decent but not my favorite. The noodles were clumped together, which, combined with the smaller bowls, made eating quite challenging. The broth was overall quite salty but lacked richness. If I had to choose, I would say the Tonkotsu Ramen was the best. The Vegan Ramen was oddly sweet, possibly from the inari. Service was a bit slow despite visiting on a weekday. We asked for extra spicy sauce, but it did not arrive until we were almost done with the meal. I also disliked that they kept trying to upsell us on drinks and add-ons.

We arrived around 2 PM for our reservation and were greeted warmly right away, which made for a great first impression. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The bamboo divider running through the middle of the space gave it a cozy, modern Japanese-inspired feel, and the overall atmosphere was probably my favorite part of the experience. As for the food, unfortunately it didn't quite live up to the hype for me. I ordered the seafood sizzler bowl, and while it wasn't bad by any means, it felt underwhelming for the price. The bowl was mostly rice, with a few small prawns, tiny scallops, a little roe, and some crab mixed in. I was expecting something more seafood-forward, so it ended up feeling more like a deconstructed fried rice than the premium dish I had envisioned. Same with the unagi bowl, couple small pieces of unagi cut up... The appetizers were actually the highlight of the meal and ended up being more memorable than my main course. I kept waiting for a dish to really wow me, but nothing stood out enough to make me crave a return visit. Maybe I just ordered the wrong items, because I know this place has plenty of fans. Overall, I'm glad I tried it, but based on this visit, I don't see myself making a special trip back.

    First time at this Japanese restaurant, and it was really great!…read more Signature Japanese Fried Pork Cutlet Rosu Katsu $27 This time I was smarter and ordered the cut with a good balance of fat and lean meat. The moment I bit into it, it was bursting with juice! The meat was incredibly thick but not dry at all, and the outer skin was crispy like snowflakes. The first bite was amazing; I've never had such a delicious pork cutlet in Shanghai. Curry Pork Cutlet Rosu Curry $29.5 My friend ordered the curry pork cutlet today, and it was surprisingly excellent! The curry flavor was incredibly rich and full-bodied. Wrapped in the crispy pork cutlet and eaten with rice, it was pure carb bliss! Freshly Ground Sesame Powder I have to praise their freshly ground sesame powder; the aroma of the sesame seeds you grinded yourself was a real highlight. * With lemon salt: Refreshing and original, a perfect way to cut through the richness! * With barbecue sauce: Mixed with sesame powder, the flavors develop layer by layer. With two flavors to choose from, it's really hard to stop! I'll definitely come back to try it again next time.

The portion was massive - it came with 3 huge prawns and 2 juicy scallops. I barely made a dent in my food and went home with a very full box of leftovers. Saku generously provides unlimited refills on their miso soup and cabbage salad. The cabbage salad with homemade sesame dressing was especially addicting! I could eat it for days. Service was attentive and the restaurant decor was sleek and modern. I will absolutely be back next time I'm in Vancouver!

Last night I had the chicken wonton ramen + egg and it was abit too heavy - they give you quite a few wontons! We also had the crunchy cucumber salad which Wes tasty but wanted abit of a kick of spice to it. And we got the spicy creamy shrimp tempura which is exactly like an ebi mayo which was so delicious! Great sauce great crunch factor! Service is always fast! You may find a line when you go but they try their best to seat you as quickly as they can. The atmosphere is usually always buzzing and the have great alcoholic and non alcoholic drink options! Will be back for sure.
