| - Finally Toronto is getting more Ramen choices and being a big fan of Kinton (see my post here), I just have to try out their newly open competitor just down the street at 179 Dundas St. W. '
Sansotei Ramen recently open in a rather quite fashion, after hearing some friends said it was the best yet and being the ramen fans that we are, we just had to try it out.
It's a rather small space but I have been hearing how their broth is sold out all the time.
We arrive for a late Friday lunch at around 2:30pm and the place was empty (yeah no wait)
Very simple menu
Zawgi (Deep Fried Chicken) $4.50
It was good with a dash of spices on top
and I am guessing it was Shichimi togarashi (aka seven Flavor Chilli Pepper )
Tonkotsu Ramen $9.25
Look at the milky pork bone broth and it smells so good that I probably never took pictures of my food so quick. The soup was very flavorful, not too oily and have a very nice texture and this is definitely my fave ramen broth in Toronto but the noodle could be better.
The egg was actually perfectly cook but somehow I find it lack depth of flavor
The noodle here are white, unlike most places where food coloring is added to get that yellow color that we are use to (it's not egg, egg are not use to make ramen).
Unlike most Toronto ramen place where curly noodle is use, the one here are straight...but color or not, I find the noodle here are a bit hard and floury. Their ramen is the chef own but due to space issue, they are made by n outside contractor/factory.
Shio Ramen $8.90 (extra Chashu/Pork Belly +$2.00)
A regular bowl of ramen here comes with 2 slices of chashu and for an additional of $2.00, you get another 2 pieces. A clear broth is use here instead with soy sauce added to it. I find this slightly saltier than the tonkotsu that I had and tasted slightly oilier but very tasty nonetheless.
I actually love the layers of fat on the chashu/pork belly which was a beauty and melt in your mouth goodness with a slight chew from the skin.
Green Tea Ice Cream Mochi $3.00
Love it, the ice cream wasn't frozen solid with a thin mochi layer.
Verdict :
the ramen and how there's no line up yet
Wish the noodle was better but love the broth and chashu/pork belly here.
