| - Santosei has a small menu of about 6 ramen choices and a few side dishes. The spicy tantan ramen sells our quick, so if you want something spicy, go early.
The fiancé ordered the tonkatsu black ramen (pork bone broth with a black garlic oil). It was served with 2 pieces of cha siu, baby black fungus,and a medium boiled egg. He said he didn't enjoy the garlic oil in his ramen because it made the dish taste burnt. I got the miso ramen and asked for a spicy pepper to give it some kick. My ramen came with cha siu, corn, bean sprouts, and a boiled egg. My ramen was good, but a little salty. The broth was very flavourful though. I liked that the egg was boiled, but had a runny yolk. I don't know if the egg was supposed to be a marinated tea egg, but there was some colour on it, which makes me think it was supposed to be. The egg itself didn't have much flavour to it, though. The cha siu was deliciously tender and melt in your mouth.
Overall, the ramen was good. Decent price and the service was very quick and polite. Our water was constantly being topped up, which as a server, I greatly appreciate.
