| - Originating in Japan, this restaurant chain is all over the world! Hong Kong, the USA, Thailand, and Canada are a few of the places they offer their hearty bowls of ramen.
During peak hours, the restaurant usually has a huge lineup. You should be prepared to wait up to 30 minutes, depending on how many people are in front of you.
We love the miso and kara miso ramen. When you look at the menu in person at the restaurant, you will be shown many more types of ramen: hot, cold, spicy, extra noodles, hand-dipping, combos... the variety is quite large! But, the main broths are the four types shown on the website, and many of the different types of ramen still revolve around the main broths.
Our gyoza was brought quite fast despite the business of the restaurant, and it was delicious. Piping hot inside, it was even better with the three types of sauces: soy sauce, chili sauce, and white vinegar. Ken and I made our own sauce by mixing them. I recommend mixing soy sauce and chili sauce if you want a kick!
I usually get their miso or kara miso (spicy miso) ramen, but on our visit this weekend, the restaurant had introduced a new special ramen, limited edition! The broth to this ramen was infused with ginger giving a healthy kick. The spiciness of the ginger is what gives the ramen its kick; it tastes more herbal in flavour. They only offer 20 bowls of it a day, so if you really want to try it, make sure to go early enough! I'm not sure if they offer it anymore, since it is March (I last visited in January). The pork in the ramen is very soft and full of its flavour. It was definitely worth trying the limited edition ramen because you can probably only get it at this location. I would recommend this ramen for those who have a cold, the flu, or generally feeling under the weather.
My husband loves their Kara Miso Ramen, which is a nice mix of their miso ramen with spice. The popular ramen can be chosen to be a combo with one of their mini rice bowls. There are four types of rice bowls, with the Ikura Roe Rice bowl being our favourite. The size of the roe! It is so big...you can feel and taste it pop in your mouth, filling your taste buds with flavour and surprise! The flakes of fresh egg underneath the inure roe also mixes very well, making it tastier overall.
The kara miso ramen also comes with soft pork just like the winter special ramen. Ken says it is one of the best ramens he had tasted so far in Toronto. I haven't taken him to all of the ramen restaurants because we like to stick to the ones we know we like for awhile before we venture out to try a new place. Ken mentioned that the kara miso was a little salty for his taste, so he said that he will ask them to be easy on the salt when he orders it the next time we are there.
If you're feeling a little blue, or need something to keep you warm for the rest of the freezing winter, I recommend you to stop by for a bowl of Santouka ramen!
Get there a little early, so that you don't have to wait!
