Tasty ramen place on broadway, 1 block E of Cambie…read more Parking here sucks. The interior is pretty quaint, with the fake hut roofs. Guess they're going for the street stand look. Staff are friendly and chatty. No complaints. I had the gyokai tonkotsu shoyu ramen. Nice moist pieces of pork, and a boiled egg. Soup was nice and creamy. I guess my only complaint is that the portion size is a bit small. Something to keep in mind.

This is my second time at Menya Raizo, they are a small little ramen restaurant that don't have too…read moremany options but everything they have is super delicious! I got a reservation beforehand which was a good idea because they were pretty crowded. Also, they are pretty small so not a good spot for a big group, I would say 6 max! I got their spicy vegetarian miso ramen which had spicy vegetarian miso broth, thick noodles, tofu, corn, green onion, cabbage, bean sprouts and chili pepper thread. They had a special deal where you got a mini rice bowl for $2 off with any ramen bowls. So we got their mini vegan curry bowl with the ramen. The curry bowl was good! It was pretty flavourful. Their ramen was also really good!! Super flavourful. My friends tried their spicy tonkotsu miso ramen which was also pretty good too, and really creamy! For drinks I would recommend tried their lychee cocktail for a refreshing cocktail. I wanted to their strawberry milk pudding but they were out so I ordered their matcha sundae which came with matcha ice cream, mochi taiyaki, cereal, black sweet sauce and whipped cream. It was so good!! I really liked the mochi taiyaki!! Can't wait to return before winter ends! Such a cute spot!

I don't know anything about all that, but the staff were extremely warm and welcoming. I was greeted and seated pretty quickly, and they dropped off water/utensils right away and came to take my order after a few minutes of me perusing the menu. I went with one of their signatures, and it was the perfect meal for such a rainy day. The soup was nice and hot, and the portion was pretty good size in my opinion! The soft boiled egg was cooked perfectly, a nice and jammy yolk center. I'd definitely come back here again!!

We starting visiting G-men about 6 weeks ago when they sent me a $10 coupon on FB to try out their…read moreramen bowl when I visited for the first time. The ramen selection was great, there were flavours to suit a variety of tastes. We ordered a miso ramen with wonton, the RCMP bowl, the Tantan noodles with extra chai shu, pork jowl and the appetizer gyoza. We were not disappointed. The creamy tonkatsu soup broth in my bowl was so savory, the RCMP and tantan soups were just spicy enough and very flavourful. Not a drop of soup was left in any of our bowls! Lol! Service was attentive and very accommodating. The ambiance was quiet but not too quiet that you couldn't hear that the restaurant was full. Seating can be a bit tight depending on the table you get but otherwise we were comfortable. The prices for their ramen starts at about $14.95+ with noodle add-ons for up to $4 each, the appetizer gyoza was $9.95. This last visit was our third. I didn't get an opportunity to take photos since we attacked each bowl as it arrived without considering taking photos! Great lunch bargains here for $15 which we have yet to try. Excellent value for the money in today's economy.

Anyone else just take the day off so you can have lunch? ME! Yup, that's what I did on Monday,…read morecause who wants to work on Mondays! We ended up at Santouka! We shared the Zangi (deep fried chicken) and Goro-Niku Gyoza. For entree, I got my usual, the Shoyu Ramen and my gf got the Kara-Miso Ramen. Both of us added corn and a soft boiled egg (ajitama). It definitely hit the spot. Santouka is one of my favourite places for ramen! A great lunch.

Be careful. I had…read morelunch there on Aug. 25 at around 3 p.m. When I was done, I approached the counter to pay. The server smoothly handed me the payment terminal, and I tapped my card. I take responsibility for my own oversight, as I should have checked the bill first. Once the transaction was completed, she handed me the bill together with the credit card receipt. I then noticed a difference between the amounts on the two pieces of paper. I immediately asked why she had entered a tip amount without letting me know. She hesitated for a second and said that I had selected the tip amount. Obviously, I didn't! I asked who gave her the right to do that, but she did not reply. I then asked her to void the transaction and process the payment again. She did not have the authorization to void the payment, so another lady came out, looked at the bill and the credit card receipt, and gave me $7.38 back in cash. I still left a gratuity that fairly reflected the service I received from the moment I walked in until I approached the counter to pay--before I tapped my card.

The place feels very spacious. A local gem that I am already looking forward to coming back - thus the high ratings! I ordered a black garlic ramen plus tonkatsu combo. For $24 this is a crazy good deal and a HUGE amount of food. It's a regular sized ramen bowl - just the ramen alone is very filling. - tonkatsu is light but crispy, really well done. - comes with a generous amount of cabbage salad Now the ramen: - the broth is really umami. It's light compared to some other black garlic - but still full of flavour. - noodles are great. I get mine thin. Done very well - egg is spot on. Just on the verge of being melty and you get both halves. - everyone loved the meat. Small pieces, but just the right blend of fatty, wonderfully tender and great texture. - I loved the side veggies esp the menma - chewy with terrific texture. Just a wonderful experience and I already know what I'll order next time!

We got a kids katsu meal, original ramen with chicken katsu, and miso ramen with cheese katsu. The food was great, very flavorful and beautifully presented.

I was visiting Vancouver for work and got to see my close friend as well. For dinner, she read…read moregreat things about this place, so she suggested that we go here. I love ramen, so it was an easy yes! Our visit was on a Saturday evening, so it was very busy and lively. We were warmly greeted by a young waitress and she took us to our seat (which was in the middle area of the restaurant). Then she brought us water to start and left, so that we can settle in and pick our order. For our order, my friend chose Shoyu Ramen and I picked Tantanmen. A few minutes later, our order arrived and it smelled so good! My friend said she enjoyed the ramen- the two pieces of chashu were juicy, the noodles were chewy and the broth had just the right amount of salt. I enjoyed my ramen as well- the blend of noodles, pork, and veggies in the rich broth was delicious. We enjoyed our visit, it was a great way to end our day with a warm bowl of ramen! If you are in the area, check this place out!

We've driven from Washington state (USA) to Richmond twice already just to have this ramen. If…read moreyou're looking for flavor that matches an experience you had in Japan or would like to try authentic ramen this is the place! Their broth is soooo strong and packed with flavor. The noodles can be customized to your liking if you prefer a soft or more firm noodle, you can even just do normal. I've tried the shoyu and shio, both are great choices! Their side dishes also taste wonderful. The karaage has a perfect crispiness on the outside and is juicy once you take a bite. Their pork karaage melts in your mouth it's so good. Most recently we visited closer to the end of lunch service and there was a bit of a wait but the servers were quick with cleaning tables and providing wait times. We saw how accommodating they were to even later joiners, letting them know that the kitchen was closing soon and providing them with menus to give time to decide. Dining experience has been consistently pleasant so far and the location is right next to very popular milk tea places for a dessert right after!

This is great as we don't read Korean and it has pictures for everything. We ordered a regular kimbab and the jang teo gook bab, which is a stew like dish with beef, veggie and rice. You can also customize how spicy you'd like right on the tablet. Both items we got were very good. The gook bab was still a bit spicy for me even though I ordered less spicy but the flavor is absolutely amazing. The booth is meaty and savory. The Kimbab was a yummy as well. It's much lighter than the gook bab. And my favorite out of all, is the soup that they provide for FREE. Hands down the best free soup ever. Food is yummy, portion is generous, service is great. I'm definitely coming back soon :)

My favourite has to be the tuna kimbap! Always a classic and can never go wrong Cold noodles are also such a treat in the hot weather we're having in Vancouver right now. However, I have to admit that this cold noodle was not as good as I thought it would be . I have also had the tteokbokki and chicken. It sounded so good I had to order it despite ordering it before and not liking it . They give a large portion so it's a good food to share with a party of friends! This is probably personal preference but the tteokbokki was a bit too soft and overcooked for my taste. I also think I prefer to have fried chicken and dip it into the tteokbokki instead so overall this dish was not my favourite.
