    Basic with chashu add-on
    Deb C.

    Loved that we were seated quickly and the bathroom was clean. Enjoyed the food but noodles were a little too hard for my liking. i prefer Maruhachi but if this close, I know my kids would like the karage. Great service. Very quick. My friend treated and this is her go-to.

    Too many bean sprouts
    Ceci L.

    I went for lunch with a party of 4. The space is cramped and we waited around 10 minutes. Good value...prices are decent and the portions are huge. Yokohama Iekei: broth was rich and flavourful, the noodles were thick and chewy and the chashu melted in my mouth. I would order this again. Spicy karaage ramen: my colleague ordered this and liked the broth and chicken karaage. She was complaining that the noodles were too thick, but you can substitute for thin noodles, you just need to let your server know. Chashu bakamori ramen: my colleague ordered this and it looks impressive but he said it was just ok. It comes with extra meat and noodles but the topping is mostly bean sprouts. They give you a bowl to put the bean sprouts in and he was trying to give it to us as it was way too much.

    Yet another ramen craving came upon me and decided to check this place out. It's right smack downtown so there is little to no street parking but parkades are scattered everywhere. They are also affiliated with Ramen Butcher over at East Georgia. I've got the 'Basic Ramen ' as per the servers recommendation. I've also opted for the thin noodles rather than the fat ones that come with it. Rich broth option with Pork Chasu The broth had great flavour. The noodles were cooked great and the pork chasu was fatty (just the way I like it) Umami bomb on each sip. Topping are extra of course The place has a nice setting to it and it's right by two busy cross- streets, so you can really see the hustle and bustle of DT Vancouver while you have your ramen. Try the 'Basic' and slurp away

    I can't remember what is was called, but it was the chicken with noodles and spicy chili.

    I was recommended this place from our hotel staff and needless to say, they lived up to their praise. From the moment we entered we were greeted and seated immediately. The food came out quickly and tasted amazing! The servers and kitchen crew were friendly and the dining room was very clean. It is a smaller establishment and a line did form to be seated, but it's worth the wait!

    Place is always busy during lunch hours, smallish place with seating/tables cramped together. Nice place for a quick casual meal. Semi open kitchen smack in the middle of the restaurant Normal ramen selections with either char siu or karage chicken protein options. Choice of "rich" or "light" soup base. Rich is creamier/saltier.

    Basic with chashu and rich soup
    Kaho S.

    Every time I pass by this place, there is a lineup, but I got a table right away when I arrived. It was around 4 pm on a weekend. The place is not large, and each table is bit close to each other, so it felt cramped. I ordered a basic with chashu, rich soup. It was a good portion size and tasted very rich. It was heavy and fatty. I was very hungry then, so it turned out to be a satisfying meal!

    Tsukeman Chasu

    I have been to this ramen joint in Yaletown a few times for a fair judgement. I tried their Yokohama Iekei ramen, tsukemen and the famous Bakkamori ramen. I would say I got fully satisfied every time I visited the place. The place is not difficult to find and usually there is a queue outside the shop. The interior is neat and tidy. Servers are attentive and I could observe the majority of them are Japanese. Their tsukemen has very big portion and the ramen is made of buckwheat. The tsukemen soup for dipping tasted fantastic. Add the vinegar provided if you want a less greasy texture. This was recommended by a Japanese when I was asking for a high quality and value tsukemen in Vancouver. Compared to some long queue waiting ramen shop for tsukemen the quality and quantity are in fact much better, I am sure. The Bakkamori Ramen is no doubt the epic choice for someone with big stomach or shared by two persons. The huge amount of spring spouts and karaage is definitely satisfying that nowhere in Vancouver can you find the same. They have more appetisers and side dishes worth trying. I will definitely return.

    Pretty good dipping ramen, with wheat noodles. The price was reasonable and the portions were good. Chasu was on point and thick. Dipping broth was generous. Egg was softboiled - like it should be. Thick noodles absorb the soup well

    Sara A.

    Really good ramen, slight thicker than the other ramen place but I absolutely enjoyed it. The soup is so tasty and the karaage was seasoned perfectly. As you can see from the pic, my order has lots of bean sprouts. It is super detoxifying and great to paired with fried chicken for sure. Look forward to eating here again soon.

    Ramen is on Point Lots for bean sprouts Spicy Bakamori Ramen - Karaage or Chashu Soup - Rich! - rich great flavours Spiciness lvl: spicy - not that spicy but thy have there chili in house Service was great super nice staff Ambiance inside was nice clean! out side mehhh Food taste great

    Spicy rich broth with chashu, spicy level 2 fried rice
    Lily N.

    The most authentic ramen I have ever had on this side of this side of the world!!! So simple, rich, no frills. The menu took me back to Japan and the ramen blew my expectations. The fried rice was also really tasty, decent spiciness and good amount of pork flavor. The servers are also really sweet. A nice late night casual spot that hits the spot.

    Basic ramen (rich soup) with chashu
    Samuel F.

    Decided to try this restaurant as I've always seen the restaurant busy whenever I walked by. I also didn't know it was related to Chinatown's butcher ramen as it had a similar menu. We ordered the spicy tsukemen and selected chashu instead of karaage, and cold noodles as per the waiters recommendation. We also ordered the basic ramen with chashu and a rich soup. I thought the tsukemen was great! A huge portion of chewy, thick noodles that worked well with the hot bowl of soup to dip in. The chashu slices were also very soft, tender and extremely flavourful. The spicy flavour had a sweetness to it which isn't ideal for my own taste but I can see why it was an option on the menu. The basic ramen was also very flavourful! The soup was very rich and had a strong pork flavour while maintaining the creaminess of chicken soup. Paired with bouncy noodles the overall bowl was great. Again, the meat was tender and flavourful. Overall I would return to satisfy my tsukemen cravings but to also try a different ramen on the menu!

    Yokohama iekei ramen
    Quinn N.

    We had tsukemen and Yokohama Iekei ramen and tsukemen was so good! Yokohama was thick but flavor was more similar to stewed pork to me (now I realized why they put "home-made" in the description), so generally it was not as impressive. Service was good and attentive even though the whole place was busy at noon. Crazy how busy it still is on the weekdays.

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

This time, still a line, but it went faster. This is definitely not a sit down and enjoy your meal w anyone. Order your food from a slip of paper you're given so that by the time you sit, they collect it and place the order. Seats are hard and it is devised where you and then leave. I had the goma vegetarian and my brother the tonkatsu. We both had thicker noodles. However, one could not tell. The vegetarian was loaded with sesame seeds. Now i love those seeds but it was way too much for my liking. Too much seeds to chew on. They also do not put any vegetables on like Hawaii does. Everything is ala carte and that adds up. I simply chose the ramen version without all the add ons. The broth was yummy but again with the loaded seeds, it made it challenging to just drink the soup. I will say, Hawaii has by far better ramen, but this place was ok too. Pricey for for what you get though.

Paid parking was not too hard to find on the Main Street but during busy dining hours it might be difficult. We got seated right away at the bar since there were no tables open and the service was quick. Traditional Japanese style ambiance and even the bathroom had rounded Japanese bowl sink. As someone who doesn't have chicken broth (paitan style) ramen, I was really looking forward to the original ramen I ordered but I was a bit disappointed in the flavor profile of the dish. The ramen had both chasu and seaweed paired with thin round noodles. The broth was creamy and had a hint of chicken flavor but even adding several rounds of their soy sauce/salt seasoning they have on the side to adjust your broth to your liking-- I found that the richness of the soup was not what I had expected from the reviews that I read prior to coming here. Overall, a bit disappointed in the flavoring of the broth but maybe we came on an off day. I would be willing to give it a shot again in the future if I had ramen cravings and given that it was very affordable ($11-15 per bowl with tip), but I would probably opt to try another place first.

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.
