We were here for dinner on a Saturday night because we came for a winter carnival at Richmond…read moreGreen, where it was close by. The restaurant was at a busy location, which was the end of the driveway, everyone sees it before making a turn. The staff was nice when we walked in. We were greeted and directed to a corner table where was better with a baby. We showed them 2 coupons, 1 for ramen and 1 for fried chicken. The staff needed to talk to the owner about them. After a few seconds, she came back and said only 1 coupon per visit. We were a bit disappointed, because we were so hard to dine out with a baby, and not able to come again with a long drive and a baby. We talked to their owner, he was nice to let us try both at the same time. Oh yeah! So we have 1 original ramen with black garlic oil, and 1 tomato base. It won't take long to wait. The fried chicken came first, it was not like the breaded chicken, it fried from original, but after marinated; it has taste, but not salty. The 2 ramen came at the same time. They both really rich, but not so salty, because the salt level could be altered; the noodle size could be chosen as well, we did 1 thick and 1 thin. They both looked similar. Overall, the ramen and the chicken all looked good and tasty. I would like to come again if next time I come around this area, even though they were a bit pricey.

Sansotei is a solid ramen chain and I was particularly impressed with this location's food. I…read moreordered the tomato ramen (which is a first for me). At first the broth wasn't that impressive, but it definitely grew on me as I ate. I loved the flavour on the chashu (none of that bland unflavored pork here) and the shiitake mushrooms were also marinated very well (though they were a bit on the sweet side). Don't be fooled by the photo - there is a lot of noodle in there! They also offer a free kids meal deal for kids under 12 with an order of two bowls of ramen, which is pretty nice if you're eating out as a family.

Points for creativity. [Worth it?] Not too bad cost-wise. Service was attentive and excellent. I wouldn't mind coming back to try more standard ramens.

Service is attentive, and food comes out fairly quickly. Their signature tori paitan is my usual pick, as it has everything I love in a ramen -- jammy egg and charsiu, paired with a good broth and noodles. While the pork charsiu is good, the chicken is even better. Usually not a fan of chicken breast, but here, it's so moist and tender and flavourful! Their black fungus topping also has good texture. The tori don and buta don are also good for a quick light and cheap meal. It's be better if they loaded up on a bit more sauce though. I wish more of their menu came with jammy egg as the default... too many options that come with no egg.

Cozy atmosphere; every table/booth gets a bit of privacy. Since there is no 'Korean button', staff had to checked on us from time to time (may be hard to flag down a staff sometimes) We ordered some appetizers to share: Takowasa w/ side of wasabi beans, Oyster Bomb sushi rolls, and Crispy Unagi Pancake. All very delicious, highly recommend. My partner and I also share a Beef Nabe aka hot pot in a clear broth, with a side dipping sauce. I would order this again and maybe try the Wagyu version next time! At the end of our meal, staff offered free ice cream for the table, with a choice of Taro and Black Sesame ice cream. Overall, an enjoyable meal :)

The pork char siu slices were very thin, and for the price, it didn't really feel worth it. Flavor-wise it was okay, but nothing beyond expectations. The chicken karaage was even more overpriced. $9.2 for just 4 small pieces - so basically ~$2.5 a bite, not worth it. Overall, it didn't really aligned with our expectations. We thought it was in a corner of the plaza so the price would have been reasonable, turned out that it wasn't really. Probably wouldn't revisit.

They are known for their chicken curry udon and spicy cream udon. So that was exactly what my friend and I ordered - as well as takoyaki for our appetizer to share. Both udon dishes were absolutely delicious. The chicken curry was very flavourful. There is a creaminess to it, and the curry flavour wasn't too overpowering. The chicken was tender and soft! The spicy cream udon was to die for. It has a very familiar taste to it. They definitely did not cheap out on the seafood (the shrimp and mussels were so tasty)! I would definitely come back here to try more items on their menu - everything looked so good.

Initially looked busy and thought there may be a wait, but the line was actually for the dessert place that shares the same entrance. I usually switch up my order between the Clam Ramens (shio and shoyu). Can definitely say that these are always made consistent (at least on every visit I've had), so there's no surprise. My friend ordered the Avocado Vegetarian Ramen as part of a set. We were both intrigued by the taste of the broth. It was creamy, but not super thick, and had a fresh, vegetal taste. One miss this time was that my friend ordered a drink, but unfortunately it did not come out at all while we ate. We mentioned it when asking for our bill and asked that it just be cancelled, which the server was apologetic about. Interior is kept clean, which some table seating along both walls and also a long high-top bar (communal) in the middle. There's isn't any parking designated to the restaurant, but there's options for paid street parking a short walk away.

They are wooden seats but it's not uncomfortable. There were quite a few tables filled that day. The bathroom - 1 more male, 1 for female. It is disability friendly and it's really clean. Although I sat close to the entrance, I didn't feel any cold draft from outside at all. Service - 5/5: I was seated quickly. The food came put pretty quick. It was easy to catch the attention of a server to get my order. Ramen came out first. The gyoza took a bit more prep time but it was fine as it came when I was halfway through saying my ramen. Food - 5/5: Aside from the layer of oil on top, the broth was rich and not overly salty. I got the daily special of barbeque pork and sweet corn ramen. The gyozas were nice, crispy outside, juicy on the inside. It was lightly pan fried which works well for me. I think I was just really hungry so both dishes surprisingly didn't fill me up. Overall - 5/5: would definitely come back, especially as the weather gets colder. A hot bowl of ramen just hits the spot on a cold day.

Was in the area and saw some strong reviews for this place (especially one where a guy claimed to…read moredrive out from Newmarket to eat here all the time!) so decided to give it a try. Let's say there was far too much hype. I just ordered a miso ramen to try. The noodle texture was average, and it should be thicker. The soup was THIN. The default amount of toppings was alright - they give you both halves of the egg unlike some other places. The meat is a decent thickness. And you get a few other toppings without having to pay extra. But overall, since the two key aspects of ramen - noodles and soup - are mediocre at best, I will not be returning.
