  • We felt like some ramen today. After having gone to both Kinton and Sansotei a few times, we decided to try a place we haven't yet tried. I have read about Hakkaido Ramen Santouka online and from a Toronto magazine which gave it a 2.5 star rating, making it 2 of the higher rated ramen places (the other being our favourite Sansotei), so this would be the one to try. But it was a disaapointment! Big time. First off, prices are much higher than either Kinton or Sansotei down a few blocks. I ordered their Shoyu ramen after confirming that it has the creamiest broth of all of the choices. My hubby ordered Miso Ramen. They came and my first thought was it looked kinda small and even just based on looks something was missing. It didn't include a soft boiled egg! (whereas many ramen in Kinton or Sansotei included the lovely soft boil egg). Yes I;m sure you can pay even more to add it. Anyways. onto the broth: at first it was really good as it Was creamy and not overdoing the salt as Shoyu is a salt based broth. After about half way through, i started to taste the noodle starchiness in the broth. Ramen is made with Alkaline noodle much like the Cantonese Wonton noodles. For those of u who have had wonton noodles, there is a strong taste to the noodle due to the way it is made in this alkaline liquid. The noodle from Santouka has some of that taste which just didn't go well in a bowl of ramen! I didn't like that at all. The taste of the whole ramen was lacking complexity and not to mention the pork slices were among the smallest compared to the ones from the other places. So in summary, lack of a rich complex taste, very little side ingredients, very little pork belly, no egg and a much higher price has this place fall way below in ranks compared to the other (also popular) places. Infact, not even sure why this place is sooo popular! Next time, we will stick with Sansotei which is still the best. Kinton and Momofuku ramen are also better choices in my opinion.
