I had been dying to give this place a try! Our plan was to try a few of Yelp's best reviewed places along Dundas which consisted of an early dinner at Santouka, followed by bubble tea at Chatime. Our group consisted of 4 people today and we arrived at Santouka at about 5:30 hoping and praying there would not be a line so early in the evening. When we arrived, the restaurant was full and we were the second group in line so I guess we could be considered lucky. We were seated within 10 minutes of arriving and promptly greeted by our waitress. She recommended the Shio and Shoyu ramen so we went with 2 of each, one being a Sake combo, which included a small bowl of Salmon on rice. We also ordered the Gyoza - which weren't very impressive. They weren't bad, just not great. Ramen arrived shortly and the presentation was fairly impressive. Shio ramen was very tasty, not too salty at all even though we went with the regular saltiness. Shoyu was good as well though being flavoured with soy sauce was a bit saltier than the Shio. The bowls are definitely not the largest we've ever seen but was quite filling and the broth quite rich. Overall a very good dining experience and similar to the Ramen we had in Kyoto. Prices are definitely a bit higher than some of the other places in Toronto but IMHO worth the added cost.
