I was meeting a friend here for dinner one Monday night around 5:45, and anxiously rushed over from my office expecting to wait outside for awhile before getting a table. To my surprise, there was no line and my friend and I were seated right away. Since it was my first time here, I ordered the the classic tonkotsu with thin noodles. It looked kinda small when it arrived so I was worried I wouldn't be full, but I was stuffed and couldn't finish the last bite! The broth was so good, pork belly was delicious and I loved the texture of the noodles. My friend got the spicy tan tan, and really liked that too.
The restaurant is quite narrow and cozy, and you'll probably end up sitting at a table with strangers. We sat next to a couple who ordered the chicken karaage, which smelled amazing. I'm definitely getting that next time! The servers are extremely friendly and nice too. Our water glasses were never empty, plus they didn't pressure us to leave even after we had finished eating. Maybe that's because it was a slower night and there was no line outside?
Ramen is one of my favorite things to eat ever, and Sansotei definitely does it well! I'll be back.
