Santouka is a ramen house on Robson Street offering many different types of the popular Japanese soup ranging from $9 - $11 per bowl.

Toroniku Betsumo$5.45

Karamiso Ramen$9.45 ~

It didn't take long to be served. I tried a scoop of soup first. OMG!

It didn't stink at all. It's actually mild and flavorful. The noodle was perfectly Al dente.

I tasted the Miso too but My "Shio" was the Best.

Tokyo is famous for Good Ramen but I no longer need to go back to

Tokyo for Having Good Quality Ramen.

I really hope they will maintain this high quality.

I have tried pretty much every ramen house in Vancouver and this was one of the best I have had.

I ordered a small Karamiso Ramen. The broth was very flavourful and had the strongest pork taste I have experienced which is a good thing in my opinion.

The bowl wasn't very big but it was packed with noodles, almost too much for lunch.

The pork was by far the best I have ever had in ramen.

 I would like to see a couple more toppings such as corn but the bowl is certainly not lacking anything in flavour.

 The room is modern and sleek with a large communal table in the front, bar area overlooking an open kitchen (separated by glass) and then a bunch of small tables in the back. They weren't serving alcohol yet, I guess they don't have a license. In fact, there were a bunch of things "coming soon" on the menu.

Karamiso Ramen Combo $11.9

 The price ended up being over $11 for a large bowl of ramen which I thought was a bit expensive especially since there were only two pieces of pork and most places have three. I would still return because the soup is top notch.

 Assuming those actually get added, the menu will be fairly eclectic compared to other ramen houses menus which generally have the same items.

Almond Jello$2.5
