Ramen Restaurants in Vancouver, BC

“Super delicious food and amazing service, very thoughtful regarding allergies as well. The food and service were so good that my friend ate his entire bowl even though he was full as not to look as if he didn’t like his ramen!!!
The broth is super creamy! Free spicy option as well and inexpensive refill.

5 stars“

“Where to start! I loved the tonkotsu ramen shoyu I got here, you can really tell it was made with care and love.
It was also super affordable - my giant bowl of ramen and coke was only around CA$17 before tips. It was the highlight of my trip!“

“The menus looks great. And the tastes are perfect not salty.And friendly staffs!“

“I think this place is considered to be the best ramen place in Vancouver. I went to the Robson location, and the line up was crazy long.

There are two options for ramen; either you get the tonkotsu pork broth base or the vegan broth base. I got the negi-goma ramen for $13.95, which is stronger in flavour due to the added sesame (don't think that belongs in Hakata ramen, but whatever) and scallions, and I also think it has more lard / richness. I added a soft-boiled egg for $2.

I thought the noodles looked appetizing, and I think it’s good too. However, I think I’m just not a fan of tonkotsu ramen / Hakata ramen / Fukuoka ramen.“

“This is seriously good ramen!! I had the black ramen (chicken broth with extra fresh garlic!!). The broth is rich and flavourful. And the egg is incredibly good! Great unique flavour and texture of yolk. Totally worth the trip to international village just to eat it! Would love to see this guy in his own shop one day ❤️

Parking: Free parking in the mall car park up to 2 hours“

“Ramen Kounotori is a good choice for late late sunny afternoons or even early evenings for the following reasons: the high ceilings, the beautiful decor, the mixture of post modern chic tones of concrete, pastel, wood, and blue. It’s a mixture of a warm and cool, postmodern vibe. The ramen is tasty, up until now the first three choices have been savoured with relish and delight. Service is most charming accompanied by smiles, good wishes & pleasant sounding nihon-rhythmic flourishes. At the end of the week, and later in the evenings, the café is well attended. Ramen here can be well appreciated on a cold fall day, but no less during the rest of the year with any weather.“

“Undoubtedly five stars. Came with a couple friends whom recommended it and was highly impressed. Our experience was so enjoyable from start to finish in all aspects with a lively vibe, delicious food and staff's bubbly energy which is some of the best I've been around. If you want attentive and friendly service with an inviting atmosphere Ramen Danbo in Kitsilano is The Place.“

“Very flavourful broths, tender chicken and pork. Chicken Karage was so juicy but not oily. Worth the drive from Surrey.“

“super friendly staff and awesome manager who didn't blink an eye and replaced my mom and aunts order to accommodate their health conditions. bomb food and and super fast serve time. will be back again Special shout out to Damont for being an awesome manager!“

“Came for the first time on St. Patrick’s Day. I ordered ramen and requested to remove veggies. I tried Yokohama Iekei Ramen & Karaage on my first time here. I ended up eating karaage without dipping the tartar sauce because it was better without any sauce.“

“Highly under rated 10/10.“

“Updated Review:
I’ve dined in here a few times recently and was not being led down. The food is flavorful, and the noodles are nicely cooked.

Previous Experience (Takeout):
I wasn’t happy with my takeout order in the past. The noodles weren’t properly cooked, and the dough was sticking together, likely during the cooking stage.“

“I’ve walked past this place plenty of times, located near T&T at the 1st and Renfrew complex, and I’m so glad I decided to finally try it. We ordered the Black Ramen with spice and it was freaking amazing. Rivals that of the ramen downtown! I’m genuinely so impressed. The broth is so rich with flavour and I’m a huge fan of the crispy garlic pieces on top! The Hamani Roll was also fantastic. It seemed a tad pricy at first but when it came, it was smothered with scallops and totally worth it. Would definitely order both again.“

“Staff are friendly and accommodating. Food is great as well! Would definitely go back 👍“

“For those new to the joy of mazesoba, I took a video of how to enjoy every last bit of it. Once you have finished eating the mazesoba noodles, you will feel sad that you are unable to lick the bowl, have every last streak of awesome sauce and 'eat the bowl clean' like your Asian mom told you to do growing up. You will think what a waste of the delicious sauce, all those nice bits of minced meat, seaweed, and spring onion. And then they will offer you a few spoonfuls of rice. You add it into the bowl and use it to soak up all the delicious sauce and pick up all the yummy bits. You will add the delicious homemade vinegar that you have been enjoying eating the entire meal. And when you finish and the bowl is clean, you will, for the rest of your life, wonder why other delicious noodle places don't offer this as part of an expected piece of noodle life. ?

Vegetarian options: The most delicious vegetarian mazesoba ever. So worth it.“

“The food and service is very good“

“I've had their 5 ramen bowls many times over. They're well made, tasty, easy to prepare and decently priced. Picking up at the Franklin Street location is a breeze, too.“

“We ordered shoyu Ramen, spicy miso ramen, smoked beef mazemen, and chicken karaage, and everything was beyond our expectations. Food was yum; Restaurant itself was clean with beautiful interior design. I would definitely recommend to try their fry garlic flakes (on table, free), so fresh.“

“Ramen Danbo is one of the best ramen spots in the city, and glad to see the expansion to Kerrisdale.

The staff are always super friendly, the food is consistently great, and the prices are hard to beat. There’s lots of parking nearby, and the rewards program actually adds up fast, which is a nice bonus.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or settling in for dinner, this place always delivers.

One of my favourite and most affordable go-to spots in the city.

“The best ramen🍜 store we have visited so far in downtown Vancouver.“

“We had a wonderful lunch at Hokkaido Ramen Santouka and absolutely loved it! The Shio Ramen was rich, creamy, and incredibly flavorful - comfort in a bowl. The atmosphere is great, and the staff were welcoming and attentive.

Thank you for the amazing food and service - we’ll definitely be back!“

“We could say one of the best ramen in Vancouver. Had low expectations before coming in because of the reviews saying it's not as good as before. But the broth is so goood and very generous serving for a cheap price compared to other ramen shops. All of us had our bowls for take out. The only thing that we didn't like is the scoop of garlic on top of the ramen. When I mixed it with the ramen, I just tasted garlic. Why do they put lots of garlic tho?“

“The food is awesome, ramen is off the chart spicy and good. Great vibe. Busy!!“

“Wonderful place and delicious food“

“This is my 3rd time going to their restaurant and their food has always been great! My husband enjoyed his mazesoba while i always go to my usual - ramen :) We also tried their katsu as side and it was tasty!

One of the best restaurants we ever went to!“

“Japanese food: One should give it a try in order to know how exotic and healthy it is.“

“Good place for eating. Good price and service.“

“Yummy foods and the staff is very nice!“

“I dine here at least 3 times a week as I’m close to here everyday. Friendly, super fast service and always there to answer questions about food/allergens. One of the best poke/ramen places in downtown Vancouver“

“I love Zubu Ramen!! Is sooooo good!“

“I always go to their different branches and this time, I’ve visited the one close to the Vancouver Library. I ordered Chashu Tamago ramen. I always love the noodle in their ramen. Love the tamago too. Chashu was just right and complimented well with the noodle.

It’s a 4* for me since it’s great but not the best I’ve had. I find the soup broth too salty. Overall, I’d still come back.“

“Authentic flavors. Great spice on the spicy dishes. The noodles are made to order and the kitchen is small so can be a bit slow. Dishes are large and priced accordingly. If you like spice the 大盘菜 is great with thinly sliced pork belly. Would not recommend thE 韭菜盒子 minimal filling and slightly flaky dough just doesn't taste right to me.“

“Friend brought me there for a casual dinner. Delighted by the of cherry blossom decoration inside. A big shout out to the great customer service from two young ladies.
A good spot for a taste of traditional Chinese noodle that has been around for hundreds of years. I personally would prefer beef slice in the noodle instead of chunk though, but overall a good experience.“

“-Absolute magnificent interior design
-Menu with great range
-Tasty broth and bowls with generous portions bowl portions
-Absolutely reasonable pricing
-One of the better aburi pork I’ve eaten, not too thin, creamy and fitting smell
-Big green onion chunks
-The noodles are also delicious, slightly thick (in my opinion) and chew
-all in all a unique restaurant; would 100% recommend“

“I woke up this morning craving lettuce wraps. I had no idea about this Japanese restaurant. I ran some errands and then found this place. I can honestly say that the lettuce wrap crunch munch was SO delicious. I’ll be back. Wonderful kind staff to. Thank you.“
