Hi and welcome to today's episode of javing it with Javier. Let's see what we are javing today. I have been told by several friends that Santouka is arguably the best ramen in Toronto. I've had very good ramen in Japan in the past so that would be hard to beat. But let's dive right into the review!
Looking at the bowl when it first comes the meats and veggies are very well aligned and presented. No complaints about anything there! The bowl looks kind of small but after starting to eat i realized they pack in a lot of noodles; I was surprised! Trying the smooth broth, it was extremely delicious. Probably the closest you can get to ramen broth in Japan. The noodles on the other hand were slightly less chewy than ones I've had in Japan and is my only complaint in this bowl.
In terms of the price, my girlfriend paid for it and didn't seem to complain, so it must be fairly priced! And for the amount of noodles I received the price is justified.
The service here is fantastic! The waiters and waitresses work really fast and are very friendly.
Overall, the ramen here has impressed me and I can confidently confirm that this is one of the best ramen restaurants in Toronto. I will definitely revisit time and time again for many years. And that's it for today's episode of javing it with Javier. And remember food is life.
