  • **4.5 stars** Rounding out my Toronto ramen experience with a visit to Santouka after my best friend HIGHLY recommended it to me and insisted we go on her day off (even though it was slowing and slushy outside). We arrived at 11:30am to a short line up but because we were waiting for the final person in our party, we couldn't be seated yet (that's their policy). We ended up waiting for approximately 20 min. The place is small with limited seating so be warned. The air has a delicious pork-y aroma and looking around, everyone seemed to be really enjoying their noodles. Once we were seated I ordered the Shio Ramen plus an egg which costs extra (boo). The bowl of noodles came with cha-shu, mushroom, bamboo shoots, green onion, a thin slice of fish cake and a picked plum. My husband ordered the Toroniku Shio Ramen which comes with the simmered pork jowl on a separate plate along with all the same garnishes as mine. His order had a good amount of meat compared to my two slices. The verdict: The soup is incredibly rich and flavourful but a tad on the oily side. The meat was tender and delicious with a good amount of fat on it (unctuous and yummy). The egg wasn't sliced in half as I would prefer it but my dining mate noted that not cutting it prevented the running yolk from oozing out. The noodles were very delicious with a nice bite to them, possibly better than Sansotei from what I can remember. I would rate this place as being on par with Sansotei in terms of quality but I found it a tad bit salty. I was feeling very thirsty all afternoon but I'm not sure if that's because I ordered the Shio (salt) broth (unlike Sansotei, they don't have a Tonkatsu broth). I also prefer the price point of Sansotei ($9.25) which includes an egg compared to Santouka ($10.95 + $2? for the egg). The Toroniku Shio Ramen is almost $16 which is just too much for a bowl of noodles. The bill for the 4 of us ended up being almost $80 after tip! I could have a pretty amazing Chinese meal, including fresh steamed fish for that price. In the end, I would prefer to go to Sansotei for a very delicious bowl of noodles at a reasonable price point (and a perfect egg).
