Ramen Restaurants in Vancouver, BC

“Wow. We have sampled many Ramen places but this one was absolutely amazing.
First, the vibe was strongly cultural/authentic, but with a modern/rustic decor and chill Asian music. Second, the waiter promptly brought up a carafe of cold water and two glasses. This amenity is always important to me because it indicates both thoughtfulness and efficiency.
I always visit the washroom first to give the cleanliness of a place and this one was squeaky clean. I had to pass by the kitchen to get there, and got a chance to see how sparkling and spotless the kitchen was, stovetop and all.
We were soon served the dishes we chose. Do not skip the appetizers here! The potstickers were the best I've ever had anywhere!
Finally, so was the Ramen. Incredibly flavorful broth, creamy and savory without being too salty as I often find it to be in DFW. The noodles were just right, and the extra soft boiled egg was worth the small upcharge, as they are marinated.
Two thumbs up for this place. I should mention the waiter was friendly and attentive, and the overall experience was a memorable part of our trip to Vancouver!!“

“Maruhachi Ra-men has great ramen. There are many options to choose from. The chicken-based ramen is very flavorful.
Despite the amount of reviews, they didn’t seem to have too many customers at the time I went there (1:30 pm)
The service is excellent. Staff provided baskets for coats and bags.
I recommend parking in Safeway to avoid having to find parking on the street.“

“This spot serves Fukuoka-style ramen and it definitely delivers. I ordered their seasonal ramen and it was really good. Even at medium spice, it had a solid kick to it.

The broth and noodles were both amazing and really stood out in terms of quality.

One thing I really liked was how efficient everything was. They let you look at the menu and fill out your order while you’re still in line, so by the time you’re seated you can just hand your sheet to the server. It makes the whole process super smooth.

Overall, a great ramen spot with quality food and a very efficient system.“

“Delicious food! Chicken ramen is super rich and creamy, noodles is nice and aldente. I ran here after work and got here two minutes before closing, owner was super nice and was able to make me a bowl of ramen in 5 minutes! I forgot to get your name but I wanna say extra thank you here! Will definitely come back and try the other flavours 😋😋“

“Food was amazing. Service was amazing. Pandemic precautions in place(hand sanitizers, table partitions, menu on phone etc). 10/10“

“I go to this restaurant regularly and their food is always amazing and very authentic. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are friendly. I also attended an event there once, and it was a great experience. Everything was well organized and the service was excellent. I definitely recommend this place.“

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

“The food was delicious!! We ordered the Hanban chicken and a bean sprout ramen (i forgot the name). Both were super good for its price, I would totally come back here for a quick meal. The service was also very good, the staff were all very friendly.“

“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.“

“I have been buying Frankling Food Lab's products for quite some time now, their frozen ramen, gyoza and their karaage chicken are simply oishii !“

“Highly under rated 10/10.“

“The tonkotsu ramen was amazing with superbly rich and creamy broth with wonderfully bouncy thin noodles. Highly recommend their salty cream matcha latte. My server Taiga was extremely friendly and checked up on which I appreciated a lot. As well as the other servers are very lovely“

“I enjoyed my visit to Fuku Ramen and Udon in the East Vancouver area on First Avenue. A compact resteraunt serving traditional ramen and udon dishes. It was a pleasure to find in the crowd of restaurants located in the area. Bubble tea and combos available as well.“

“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!“

“Great Service with the Team on the shift today .Hot Tea and Quality Food and very great service Shuto,kenny,saku,Jaden“

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

“Delicious!!! Everything is tasty 😋 😆😁✅❤️

As always 😁 We are very happy with our meal. Ordered extra Chasu, (don’t mind the photo I ate a slice 😂) seaweed and poached egg 😜 we both ordered the creamy Mazeman 👍✅❤️

This is my favourite place for Ramen and for Mazeman ❤️👌 love the food, the atmosphere, the service, the servers ✅👍

I’m very happy with my meal again. 👌 Always reliable, fresh, tasty, I love sipping the hot broth as I eat my noodles.

If you give them your phone number for a free membership, you get a refreshing vanilla ice cream cone at the end.

And also when you order, you can upgrade to extra noodles.

Then as time goes on, there are other added benefits.

Like extra meat 🥩 😁 extra poached egg, etc.

I believe this is for the mazeman noodles 😁👍

Thank you to the chef’s, kitchen staff and servers 👍✅

Great service as usual. Tasty 👍
Yum! 😋 I have enjoyed many meals here. Delicious.

Easy yes 👍

I will keep repeating ✅

I love the ice cream at the end too ❤️😁

I will most definitely be bringing family and friends here.

Every meal has been very satisfying, made me happy.

I enjoy the chill atmosphere, the servers are very nice, friendly, welcoming and on point.

The place is clean, I like the open layout, love that I can see straight into the kitchen through the glass. ✅

Everything on the menu is reasonably priced. There is also a little happy hour menu.

Worth repeating✅😁👍“

“The food and service is very good“

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

“Had the black garlic ramen. Didnt like it very much. Too much noodle, not enough toppings. There were not enough textures in there and just overall bland and unbalanced.

I did like the service and atmosphere of the place though“

“Yummy foods and the staff is very nice!“

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

“We love love love Ramen Danbo - it’s arguably the best ramen chain across Vancouver and consistently delivers delicious high quality ramen at reasonable prices and portion sizes. We’ve eaten at all their locations around Vancouver and love each of them. The dining space is quite small and cramped so huge kudos to the staff for doing an excellent job keeping lines moving and ensuring that food comes out efficiently and quickly without compromising on quality. The vegan curry ramen is extremely flavourful and filling, and the Kerrisdale dine-special, the egg fried rice, is to die for! It’s so flavourful, smokey, and has tons of wok hay! Highly recommend the egg fried rice. We are regulars here and will continue to be so! 💕✨“

“Kinton Ramen is, without a doubt, my favorite ramen place. The first time I tried it, I fell in love. I’ve been there many times, and the quality is always consistently amazing.

The restaurant is small, with a modern and minimalist decor, but it feels very cozy and welcoming. The service is excellent, the staff is always attentive and kind.

Most importantly, the ramen is absolutely outstanding. You can truly taste the high quality ingredients in every bite. The flavors are rich, authentic, and incredibly delicious. On top of that, the portions are very generous.

I also love that they don’t just serve ramen,they offer desserts, sake, and chicken options as well, which makes the experience even better.

Definitely my favorite spot. I always come back!
❤️“

“The staff here are super helpful and the food always comes out very fast. They are still doing the free upsizes so you get extra noodles and a free scoop of rice at the end to use up all the sauce after. They seem to always run out of their ice cream but all the other menu items seem pretty consistent.“

“Food kind of salty, didn't refill water too much but very nice. Atmosphere was very good.

Food was extraordinary plus astonishing but was a bit filling also the boiled egg 🍳 was delicious 🤤 and the food was just very excellent 👌 to be honest 😊“

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

“I love Zubu Ramen!! Is sooooo good!“

“2026: The pork belly cha shu is excellent, tasty and tender, but makes the pork shoulder cha shu seem relatively bland. Creamy chicken broth is delicious. Noodles are okay; I prefer a thicker, chewier variety. Fast friendly service with several water refills.

2020: The soft boiled egg is perfect, melt-in-your-mouth and tasty with a half runny yolk. Broth good. Wall-to-wall people.“

“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“

“Came with a vegan friend and we tried the veggie ramen, veggie gyoza and veggie katsu set. Everything was delicious and fresh. I think they made all the components in house including make the salad dressing and pickles. They also served free ice cream for dessert. Will definitely be back to try non veg options.
FYI they have stool seating which can be uncomfortable if you have back issues.“

“Me and my wife went for lunch yesterday and had a wonderful eating experience. I had the beef slice curry and my wife had the beef tendon, we also shared several additional toppings including the fried prawns and pork cutlet.

The food was extremely good, my own curry had just the right amount of spice and a unique sweetness from the sliced marinated beef, while still retaining the richness of a solid Japanese style curry.

My wife’s was equally enjoyed with the super tender tendon being a welcome change. Likewise the pork cutlet was solid though a bit small, and the prawns were also strong.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was also nice, though we went for lunch so it was not as busy and I can imagine a small location like oretachi could be quite hard to find a seat during peak hours. The service was also strong.

The only negative was the size of the pork cutlet, as it was rather small.

Me and my wife usually get our japanese curry from Saku on Robson street, however we found Oretachi to be far better in taste and in value. We will be replacing Saku with Oretachi permanently as our go to for Japanese curry.“

“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.“

“It was quite good. Expected a little more flavor wise but all in all very good and the house made noodles were delicious. Be aware though about their restrictions when it comes to paying with CC or Amex. They’re quite upfront about it though, so it’s hard to miss.“

“My husband and I came here for a late night dinner after 9pm. The restaurant obviously had less customers. I had a “深夜食堂” feel (a late night canteen. I felt it was still lively and warm to customers who could eat late night dinner or snacks.

We ordered their signature beef noodles and one with intestines. Both were good. The noodles were freshly made by the chef in the kitchen. We could see the chef who pulled the noodles was a lady. She had strong arms and great energy pulling the noodles and making them fresh for customers. That’s was awesome 👏🏼. Usually we see a male chef to do that.

The broth of the signature beef noodles was light but I could add their special vinegar or spicy oil to get to the level of spicy I wanted.

There is free street parking in the neighborhood. Service was great. We would like to go back and try other dishes especially that we can choose the thickness or width of the noodles. That’s the most interesting part 👍✌🏼“

“Their ramen is delicious! Usually we don’t eat ramen because their soup base is always very salty. But we gave it a try and loved the soup which is perfect and the ramen is crunchy. The charsiu is also cooked well. I love their Hokkaido ice cream the best. Wednesday is free for members. That makes it even worth it to eat at this ramen restaurant.“

“I usually get either the combo or the ramen, tried the Pho today for the first time and was suprised by its quality. Have tried Pho at other places on campus but they’re pretty meh or bland, would recommend Beef Pho for people who like noodle soup with deep, flavourful taste, can ask for chilli sauce packets if you want to add a little bit of kick to it - certified by a Viet lol“
