I still love Kinton and Ramen Isshen. But Santouka by far blows them out of the water. Couldn't decide what to get so I had the large size pork jowl and an order of spicy tsukemen. Crushed em both.
Pork jowl. Tenderest meat I've had with ramen. Bar none. Broth was perfect balance of spice. Noodles were a little thin for me as my preference is towards thicker chewy noodles.
Spicy pork tsukemen. Spicy. The fact that you can customize the spice even more makes it that much better. The charsu was good. Not mind blowing but good. Noodles were perfect. Chewy and cold waiting to be spiced and warm in the dipping broth.
We got here right when it opened and it was already busy. I can see why. Love this place. Currently number ranked in Toronto for me.
