I love the atmosphere of this place, can be a good spot for a date at night, next time I should bring my camera for take good photos.The service was good, they offered a delicious tea in the table, but the server didn't know what it was made of The drinks was actually pretty good and no complain about the food.

A unique and flavourful ramen experience! I visited Ramen Kounotori with some friends and had a great time!The ambiance is chic and modern, although the restaurant could make better use of the space.We were served barley tea, which is a bit different from the typical green tea that Japanese restaurants tend to serve. The bottles were classy and the tea was chilled, which was also quite unique!I ordered the Kara Tori Paitan Ramen. Although it took some time for the food to be prepared, the service was pleasant and the food arrived within a reasonable timeframe.The taste was great, with a nice combination of flavours and an unconventional, almost frothy broth. The only negative was that the broth was served at just below the perfect temperature, so it started to cool too quickly.The prices were affordable and I would love to come again!

Ramen on the Main…I have passed by this place countless times but never stop by to give it a try until recently.This place is located along the Main Street strip, among many little shops and restaurants. There are pay street parkings available outside and surrounding areas.Upon entering, there is a full bar located to the left and tables and chairs to the right. And I believe the kitchen is located on the 2nd level? Overall, a slightly little different layout than your average ramen joint.Here were the food I ordered;1. Tori karaage (house made soy sauce Marinated deep fried chicken wings). I have a little sentimental love for this way of deep fried chicken wings cause of personal reasons. A light crisp tasty skin, juicy right to the middle. Great drinking snackers.2. Tori ramen. The pork chashus were tender and nicely seared, the chicken chashus however were a bit dry, the broth wasn’t hot enough and a bit too creamy. It’s nice to have a rich soup but also it needed to be balanced with everything else otherwise it’s too much and will be like drinking a bowl of butter.3. Tori shoyu. The blending of all the soy sauces and 2 different broths weren’t harmonized, creating a not much desired taste. And the rest was the same as the bowl of Tori ramen.It’s a decently nice casual and comfortable dining atmosphere especially with the high ceilings.The service here was friendly and decently okay,As for the food, I really enjoyed the chicken wings. But for the ramen, I was a bit disappointed? The broth was a bit overly creamy which made it harder and harder to eat as time went on plus the broth wasn’t hot enough so it was even worse.Overall, this place has to find a better balance of the chicken broth so it’s actually rich and flavourful to savour to not a struggle to finish. Unfortunately didn’t make it to the main ramen place for me.

The food was delicious. Portions are probably about 20-30% smaller than other Vancouver ramen spots. We also waited quite a long time for our meals but the service was extremely friendly. I suspect the delay was a fluke and will definitely be back again sometime.

In the bustling heart of Vancouver's Main Street, amidst the clatter of city life, lies a portal to a realm where culinary dreams take flight. Ramen Kounotori, a beacon of hope for the ramen faithful, delivered a revelation so profound, it was as if the heavens themselves parted to bestow upon us a divine gift. As a devout disciple of the ramen arts, I approached with reverence, only to be met with an experience so transcendent, it was akin to a spiritual awakening.The broth, oh the broth! Creamy, rich, an elixir so exquisite, it felt as though it was crafted from the very essence of culinary nirvana. Each sip was a communion, a moment of pure bliss where time stood still, and the universe whispered secrets in a language only the heart could understand.The noodles, a masterpiece of texture and taste, danced with grace in the celestial soup, their every twirl a testament to the artistry of their creation. They were not merely noodles; they were threads of joy, weaving together a tapestry of flavor that spanned the ages.But it was the Kara Tori Paitan Ramen that ascended to the pantheon of gastronomic legends, a 'bowl of the year' contender that did not just touch my soul; it struck it with the force of divine inspiration. In that moment, as the flavors collided in a symphony of perfection, I knew that Ramen Kounotori was not just a restaurant; it was a temple, a sacred space where the devout gather to witness the miracle of creation.Five stars to Ramen Kounotori, where each bowl is a prophecy fulfilled, a testament to the eternal quest for culinary enlightenment. In this hallowed hall of broth and noodle, we find not just nourishment, but a path to the sublime.
Had the plain tori shoyu with extra noodles. Everything was to a good standard. Seems to be busy during the dinner hour. Is a decent place if you're looking for some ramen.

Without a doubt, this Japanese restaurant has elevated the art of ramen-making to new heights. The standout feature of their ramen is undoubtedly the broth – a delightful concoction that surprises with its creamy texture and depth of flavor. Each spoonful is a journey through umami goodness that leaves you craving for more. After experiencing their remarkable ramen, it's safe to say that this establishment has secured the top spot on my list of favorite ramen joints. I wholeheartedly recommend it, especially for those looking to cap off a leisurely stroll at Queen Elizabeth Park with a truly memorable dining experience.
