|| My Experience:
Far from a ramen expert, I have had the opportunity to dine at majority of Toronto Ramen shops, as well as a vast number across North America. Sansotei Ramen is a solid above average. This is not a shot to the quality at Sansotei, but that the quality of ramen overall in Toronto has risen.
Having tried most of their soups, I would recommend Tonkotsu. There seems to be most flavour behind it. The only problem is that I find the soup to veer too far into the salty side, which is saying much, as I often don't critique a dish based on saltiness. The stand out part of Sansotei would have to be the noodles. The thick noodles are bouncy and have a great texture. Their pork bell is also done quite well, so I recommend getting an extra order.
The location is convenient with the shop consisting of mostly booths and having large sharing tables in the middle. Service was friendly and helpful, and was careful to ask which type of noodles we wanted and give recommendations on the best noodles for which broth.
Overall, great spot for ramen, possibly one of the best in Markham, but with the varied options in the City, it's personally not the de facto best ramen in Toronto overall.
