Ramen Restaurants near West Vancouver, BC

“Edit- appreciate the response from the restaurant. Bumped to 4 stars for the delicious food. Will try again 🙂

Containers were defective and one of the soups spilled everywhere making a mess. Photos show where the seams have a hole. What we could eat was delicious. But it was pretty disappointing. Tried to contact Uber Eats about it but it went in circles with AI. Just want the restaurant to know they need better containers.“

“Good service and good food“

“The ramen was delicious and the booth was *chef's kiss*! I normally don't drink all the broth as most of the time I find it very watery and salty. This broth was creamy and so tasty. I ended up drinking the whole thing. I ordered the extra char Siu pork belly. Next time I'm in Vancouver and near Stanley Park, I'm coming back!“

“17 people group came ahead of us and there were no table left outside of that group and we all had to wait. Good thing the group was accommodating and didn’t linger, those who were done got up. Your whole group has to be in line to get a seat. It’s not kid friendly, I wish they had some high chair, and the decor was Dragon Ball Z which I prefer it to be more generic and inviting to all. The miso was different but the truffle ramen is what I’ll come back for again. The noodles was unique, thick and delish! But please get atleast one or two high chair it will really help. - should be for every restaurant that allows small children.“

“One of the countless beauties of Japanese cuisine is the quiet grace of its tableware—pieces that serve their purpose without demanding the spotlight. It is a level of pairing you rarely find anywhere else in the world. Plates, bowls, small condiment dishes, spoons, and chopsticks feel so deliberately curated that they seem custom-designed for a single, specific dish.

Yet, I’ve often wondered: is this exquisite tableware truly essential to experiencing the soul of Japanese food?

My visit to Torimaru Ramen today proved that it isn’t.
Their rich, velvety chicken paitan ramen instantly brought back memories of the early days of Marutama Ramen in Vancouver. With its slender white noodles, perfectly seasoned soft-boiled egg, and the option for kaedama (extra noodles), Torimaru captures all the hallmark comforts of classic tonkotsu while delivering the refined elegance of modern, new-wave ramen. Come to think of it, ramen as everyday comfort food was born from humble food carts to begin with—a world away from all that ornate tableware.

If you aren't quite accustomed to the intense richness of a concentrated chicken broth, their complimentary fresh garlic and chili oil offer an effortless, customizable gateway into their star dish.

My only wish? I really hope they consider offering a larger paper takeout bowl down the road—because then, I wouldn't hesitate to order a triple portion of extra noodles.“

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

“Highly under rated 10/10.“

“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 !“

“Meaty and good for a bowl but I needed more noodles and I ordered then I ate them and ordered more and more the wait it is worth it to order extra noodles and make them all line up until you can’t eat another and then when they think you are done you say I need a minute to digest some of this noodle“

“We visited during the labour day weekend. Food was pretty good. Some of our plates came a differing times. We both ordered combos -- the seaweed salad is very flavorful! Also the curry too. My dining partner enjoyed the gyoza. And we had the original order of ramen one each small and large.

However the matcha tirmasu is the absolute star of the meal. Dining partner ordered it. Matcha is not overwhelming and neither is the sweet taste of that dish.

Staff are professional and efficient. We would return.“

“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.“

“This is not a paid/sponsored review. First time visit (Aug 3’26).

Even though it is quite small dining area, we didn’t wait long to get a table this outlet…they deliver fast service! I’d say max party should be 4 people at this outlet.

All of us tried the summer edition of ramen. Food taste was consistent with other outlet.

Music was played pretty loud at our visit.“

“素食Cafe 簡單美味 還有冷凍食品/湯品外帶 提高素食方便性 服務清一色是年輕人 客人也絡繹不絕“

“I originally planned to try the Ramen Danbo near Robson Street, but the line was quite long. Later, I happened to pass the Kitsilano location and was glad to find that there was no wait.

The restaurant is small, and the counter seats are fairly close together. I dined alone and sat facing a wall, which felt a little cramped, though there was enough room to eat comfortably. My ramen came to about $25 including tip, which I thought was reasonable. The flavour was fine, but it didn’t particularly stand out to me.

The standard ramen was quite simple, with three slices of pork and some green onions. I would recommend adding extra pork if you’d like a more filling bowl; toppings such as egg and seaweed also cost extra. There is only one small washroom, so there may be a wait, and I was surprised that it didn’t have a mirror. The anime music was also a little loud for my taste.

Overall, it was a decent meal, though I personally wouldn’t wait in a long line for it.“

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

“Good restaurant“

“Great food and atmosphere. But didn’t appreciate the sneaky practice of offering extra noodles at the end of the dinner and making it look like it was complimentary but NOT! And don’t put the customer in the awkward position of asking first: “is there a charge for it?”. Just be up front! This city already has enough nickel and diming going on.“

“We came in early and this place lived to the hype. Broth was flavourful for our two soups. The Chicken Karaage is next level and a standout. The batter for the Karaage is light and not salty. Highly recommended! Service was friendly and attentive.“

“We randomly stumbled across this Ramen restaurant as we were walking and decided to give it a try. Its 8:30pm and past dinner time so we were hungry.

The dry noodle dish was very good, add extra noodles for $1. The meat portion was more generous than most other ramen places. The black garlic ramen was very very tasty 😋. Very nice decor and nice servers! They play western music though so a bit surprising.

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

“The food and service is very good“

“Yummy foods and the staff is very nice!“

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

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

“An excellent selection for a ramen meal. Good portions and nicely served. The vegetarian and spicy Tonkatsu miso dishes were tasty.
A minor bit of maintenance is required on the side bench seats as they are showing a bit of wear.
Rear counter a nice touch but the counter itself should not be used as a prep/administration surface while open.
A comment, not criticism on ramen restaurants in general. Basic condiments such as garlic, onions, bamboo shoots etc should not be extra but included in the price. Limit to 3 so it does not get out of hand.
We enjoyed our meals and the friendly service. Do not let my comments deter you from selecting this venue for your dining pleasure“

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

“I remember when this place first opened many many years ago and I really enjoyed it but haven’t had much of a chance to return in a while. Although the long lines are gone (because there are more ramen shops around now, and not a reflection of the quality of this ramen shop) I am happy to see they still delivered the same awesome eating experience where the noodles are cooked perfectly, portions are perfect, and the quality of the cha siu, ramen egg, and broth is still spot on. Gyozas were pan fried perfectly, and the service was efficient as expected in a ramen restaurant. Prices remained reasonable too! No need to line up at other popular spots for ramen!“

“This is my absolute favourite ramen restaurant in the city! The miso ramen is my favourite, it’s so flavourful, and the chasu pork is cooked perfectly. They also had no problem removing the black fungus for me. The service is also good and the music is fun too! They even have ice cream on the house to boot! Would definitely recommend this place, so underrated!“

“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“

“A must visit when visiting Vancouver! Visiting from Calgary.

Classic ramen, spicy with thin noodles (good kick!) & Negi-goma ramen (green onion + sesame flavor), regular with thin noodles! Also added eggs to both! Highly recommend :)“

“What an amazing experience! I had the original ramen this time, which was phenomenal, but I'm definitely coming back to try the shoyu chicken next. It has a high-end, stylish atmosphere without the premium price tag. Highly recommended!“

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

“From the moment we entered the restaurant, we were greeted with friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere. The food arrived quickly and looked fantastic. After the first bite, it was clear why this place has such a strong reputation. The broth was deeply flavorful, the noodles were cooked perfectly, and the toppings added great texture and balance. The portion size was generous, and the quality of the ingredients was excellent. Combined with professional service and a comfortable setting, it made for a memorable meal.“

“This is a very great place if you're craving a large, heavy, bowl of noodles.

I would highly recommend the noodle based dishes, as they seem to be made in house and have an amazing texture. However, the noodle bowls are very noodle-heavy, and are somewhat conservative on the protein, for better or for worse.

Portions are huge though, and prices are pretty good, although it seems they've increased marginally since I last came.“

“Ordered the pork cutlet curry ramen to go

The takeout container is very nice because there is a second plate seperating the meat from touching the noodles. Just be aware of that so you don't end up pouring your soup onto the second plate haha!

Flavor wise I got the mild spice. The curry was really good and the noodles were a good medium-firm texture! The size of the noodles allows the curry to soak it all in really well!

The pork cutlet on the other hand was a bit too dense but still had a great flavor. It would be best to dip it in the curry sauce to soften it up a bit because on its own it's just too dense/firm. May be due to the thickness of the cut.

The restaurant is really small and if you want to walk any where you might have to wait for one person to cross before you can.

The service was very fast and friendly! And I love how the menu has pictures of the food!“

“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.“

“I went there because there were ads outside saying they won best dish of the year. However, the taste was a little disappointing. I couldn't find the umami.

Their service was great; it was fast, and the waitress was so nice. For that reason, I'm giving 4 instead of 3.

It was a big portion, and the price was good.“

“We ordered from Kokoro’s Mazesoba menu and really enjoyed the experience. The food was good, and the restaurant has a great vibe—calm, comfortable, and a nice place to relax and enjoy your meal.

They also offered 50% off the second dish for members, which was a nice bonus. Overall, a great experience, and I would definitely come back again!“

“Restaurant inside the bottom floor of the nest serving pan Asian food from pad Thai to fried rice and noodles.

A combo costs anywhere from 15s to 17s and each combo comes with a spring roll and vegetables.

Pop can be added for 0.99

Good deal and the food was delicious“
