I haven't had the chance of trying Sansotei downtown so this is a new gem for me in Markham. Located in downtown Markham, this is definitely my uptown ramen place to go to now!
Visited here on a Tuesday around 7:30 pm and it was pretty busy. Lineup went out the door and continued to build while we were there. We waited for about 15 minutes before being seated which was not bad.
Service was fairly quick. We ordered Gyoza as appetizers. These were fried nicely but a bit too oily.
For ramen, you have the choice of thick or thin noodles. This will be a matter of preference but I liked the thick noodles. The Tonkatsu Black soup was delicious. It had a nice smoky pork bone taste and I couldn't stop drinking it after I finished my ramen. The pork belly served in the ramen was also very tender and tasted great.
Overall it was a great experience and I'm glad to see one of the popular downtown ramen places in Markham!
