| - Initially my family and I were heading to Sansotei, however we forgot to call ahead, and it was closed on Labour Day. We walked a little further east and decided to checkout Santouka.
It was 9:30 pm and the little spot was packed with a line out the door. I find it cute how they have a little bar seating area, where you can watch all the action. After about a 15 minute wait, we were seated and handed out menus. I decided to go with the Shio Ramen, a white tonkotsu soup base, as stated on the menu. Wow, this was so good! Although a little more pricey at $12.45 for a regular, it definitely filled me up! The soup base was slightly salty, however it wasn't overpowering and was super creamy! My parents had the both the Spicy Miso and Miso Ramen, and enjoyed theirs as well, but said the Shio was definitely the star of the show. The tender pieces of Char Siu were flavourful and melt in your mouth and I really enjoyed the crunchy bamboo.
Not a bad place for a nice quick bowl of ramen, however it is pricier than Sansotei, and others. The staff are super friendly and sweet.
