4.5 stars. I am a Ramen fanatic and I've heard that a Sansotei opened up in the North York area and I have to go try it! They are located on Byng Avenue just off of Yonge Street. I came here around 7pm on a Saturday night and did not have to wait for a table which was great.
There is a sitting capacity of 30 people and the restaurant size is quite small. The lighting and decor is great. The menu is also nice and simple as well.
I ordered the Zangi (Deep Fried Chicken), Gyoza and Tonkotsu Ramen. The Zangi was everything I can expect from fried chicken. Hot, Moist and Tender and served with around 5 pieces. The Gyoza took longer to make as the server told us it would take 15 minutes. One order came with 4 pieces and it was hot and fresh. I believe it is worth ordering if you are not in a rush. Finally, the Tonkotsu Ramen! I chose thick noodles. The broth was not salty at all and complements the pork belly slices well which were tender. The egg was tasty and looked great as the yolk was a little bit runny. Great ramen overall.
To top it off, I ordered the Sakura Crepe Cake from Millie Creperie. I found it cool that they have a partnership together. The crepe cake was not sweet and it was light in flavour and texture.
Service was amazing too!
Why 4.5 stars though? The only bad thing if you don't live in the area is finding parking. Parking is a pain in this area as it's all paid street parking. It took some time for me to find a spot at all! They claim that they have free parking but I have to try it out when I go back.
Overall, a great new Ramen place opened up here in the North York area.
