| - Came around 8:45pm on a Tues night, last month with the BF. Waited about 10-15mins for a table with 4 tables ahead of us. We were so excited that Sansotei was here in Markham after trying the original DT location earlier this year. The BF has been raving about Sansotei since than, but this time we left not as impressed. Since this is their 3rd store, I think it's natural for people to compare it to the original DT location, and I did so as well.
This time I got the Tonkotsu Black ($9.85) that the BF got last time, and the BF got the Spicy TanTan ($9.60) that I got last time. Both of us got thick noodles. We also both got extra noodles for ($1.50 each). When the noodles came, both our bowls were almost stuffed to the brim with noodles. This made it slightly hard to eat, since the noodles were so packed together. I also noticed you don't get as much soup this way. It was not until afterwards that we realized that you could get the extra noodles on the side, They didn't ask us which way we wanted the extra noodles when we placed our orders. So I would definitely ask for the extra noodles on the side next time.
Taste wise, the Tonkotsu Black broth was pretty similar to the one DT. Don't get it unless you love garlic. I do, but I had major garlic breath the rest of the night. haha. The Spicy TanTan broth was a little more salty than the one DT. Thick noodles were good, thick enough and chewy the way I like it. Eggs were cooked to perfection as well here. The pork belly was slightly tougher and had a bit of a porky taste to it that I don't remember tasting at the DT location. I still find their broth in general a little bit more salty than I would like so I don't drink too much of the broth.
There were a few little things that annoyed us:
-They seat you with other people if there are only 2 of you. We ended up at a 6 person table with another couple, seated with a seat between us. Slightly awkward because the other couple talked non-stop and we could hear the entire conversation while we ate.
-The entire outside of the ramen bowl was greasy. When we placed our hand on the underside of the bowl to move it closer to us, both our hands got covered in this watery grease. They should have at least wiped the bowl a bit before they served it.
-We asked for water when we ordered our ramen and it didn't show up till we were half done our ramen.
Overall, the ramen here is still pretty good. I'm sure if we didn't have the DT location as comparison, we would have liked it a lot more. If there isn't much of a wait, this is probably one of the better ramen places in the Markham/RH area. I do wish they had a few more sides/apps for me to choose from.
