    I loved the ramen it was soooo good! I wanted the black garlic w veggie broth but couldn't make it happen due to the kiosk ordering system. The staff were friendly, the pork broth was super rich and the seating was casual and quick style!!!

    I'm not the biggest fan of ramen but my friend loves it so we checked out this place. The interior is built for solo dining with a few tables in the back for groups. I have to admit that the quality and price for the ramen is quite decent and the matcha pudding (this item is a bit pricier) is really good (you can keep the small jar). They did forget my fish cake slice, and we needed to ask to have our water refilled but the food is good.

    Fantastic new ramen place. Most of the space is a big bar area where you sit around and there are individual ordering kiosks per seat. You place the order on the kiosk, it's pretty self explanatory. The menu is small besides the ramens there are also rice dishes. I had the black garlic. It comes with nori but no egg. I opted to add Woodear mushrooms. It comes fairly quickly. - noodles - thin, good chewiness, I like it. Good texture. - pork belly - really good. Thin, fatty, really great flavour. - broth - pretty standard black garlic. Decent. Not outstanding but more than good enough. - other stuff - I loved the woodear mushrooms. I also loved that they include naruta (fish cake). Overall for a quick inexpensive ramen bowl I. This area this is a great place.

    Flavor profiles here are much better than Horin but their staff needs to work on their serving skills. When serving the bowls they only announce the type of soup - we had to figure out whether it was thin/thick noodle, little/lots oil, add ons, etc ourselves. They also forgot one add on and gave it to us at the end when we were almost done our noodles. One of our 6 people table got their ramen while others were halfway done. The black garlic ramen had copious amounts of black garlic - plus points for that! The curry tasted like box curry - one came with a curry spoon and one without.

    Can't go wrong with a ninja dog themed ramen shop right? I love that you feel transported to a shop in Japan when you arrive. The ramen was tasty and there were quite a few add-ons to choose from as well. They do have a cheaper price point than most ramen shops in the downtown/Chinatown area but they also have a smaller portion size so keep that in mind! With that said you can always add-on extra noodles or meat!

    walked by and decided to check it out. bar seating and you order on a tablet. had a bit of a wait. i got the white bowl which is the basic one and it achieved the ramen flavors i wanted. the red bowl didn't have that much spice and the black bowl needed more of that garlic flavor. was told the curry rice was not that great.

    Amazing ramen shop. Authentic experience and taste of Japan. The restaurant is clean and service is quick and pleasant. The ramen broth is good and very well priced.

    Middle-of-the-road ramen place with a vegan option. They opened about a month ago, so I decided to check them out. They have 4 ramens, 1 of which is vegan. Ordering is done via computer screen. If you add your email or phone number, you get the "member price" ($1 off the ramens, and slightly cheaper prices for other things). I got the Green Ramen ($14.90 member price) and added 3 additional pieces of tofu ($1.80 member price). The ramen came out in about 10 minutes with 6 pieces of tofu, bean sprouts, some spinach leaves, and plenty of noodles. The broth was fairly light, with only a light hint of the Sichuan pepper--the bottom of the bowl seemed to have a richer, nuttier, complex broth profile. Overall, not bad. I'd prefer a richer, more complex broth, and more/better toppings (a few spinach leaves and bean sprouts isn't much for vegetables). Very friendly service. Nice spot. Hard to see how this place will compete with such good vegan ramen offerings in Vancouver.

    Vegan Ramen option with Tofu (I added fishcake)

    Lovely little neighborhood ramen shop in international village! Seating and service on a Thursday evening at 6:30 were quick and courteous. 4 Ramen options. We had the black and the vegan. What I was most grateful for was a noodle and broth option for my 5-year-old, supplied with scissors to cut down the noodles.

    Stopped by Maruhachi on a Saturday lunchtime after our long commute from Seattle. this restaurant…read moreis tucked in a corner not too far from the main Robson street. Paid parking was not too hard to find on the Main Street but during busy dining hours it might be difficult. We got seated right away at the bar since there were no tables open and the service was quick. Traditional Japanese style ambiance and even the bathroom had rounded Japanese bowl sink. As someone who doesn't have chicken broth (paitan style) ramen, I was really looking forward to the original ramen I ordered but I was a bit disappointed in the flavor profile of the dish. The ramen had both chasu and seaweed paired with thin round noodles. The broth was creamy and had a hint of chicken flavor but even adding several rounds of their soy sauce/salt seasoning they have on the side to adjust your broth to your liking-- I found that the richness of the soup was not what I had expected from the reviews that I read prior to coming here. Overall, a bit disappointed in the flavoring of the broth but maybe we came on an off day. I would be willing to give it a shot again in the future if I had ramen cravings and given that it was very affordable ($11-15 per bowl with tip), but I would probably opt to try another place first.

    Review #3 for 2026 I…read morereally wanted to like this place. I watched many videos and read reviews before coming here, but it just did not hit the spot. After a cold day of exploring Stanley Park, we felt that ramen would really hit the spot, so we went here not wanting to deal with a wait at Danbo with a hungry and tired toddler. There was NO wait when we arrived here and we were seated immediately... which for a place that was really hyped up, should had made us think twice. There was only 1 other party at the restaurant. Now, the workers were super nice and the food came out quickly and we did eat everything because we were starving. We all ordered the cha-shu tamago ramen, 2 of us got spicy and 2 of us non-spicy. It came with extra chashu and the soft boiled egg for about $20 Canadian. The bowl was a good size and there was a promo for free extra noodles while we were there. Everyone except me in our group took advantage of it because I was too full from my bowl. Now, the broth here is different from other places because it is chicken based and not pork based. Everything I had seen about this place promised the broth is every bit just as good as the pork bone broth... however, the broth we received looked flavorful, but was bland. It was completely bland. There was no richness to it, not even a hint. I don't know, coming from southern California, the flavor just was not there period. We did all eat our food because we were starving, but it for sure did not hit the spot at all. Maybe we got an off day? Otherwise our broth had literally zero flavor to it. We all wished we had tried the other ramen place instead right after trying our ramen. Would I come back? I will have to say definitely no. We do not live in Vancouver and I do not want to waste any meals on a place that did not taste good the first time we went.

If you're curious about the rest of their ramen lineup, the ramen flight is a fun way to try them out without committing to just one. Service has been attentive on my visits, and food comes out quickly, which is always appreciated. Last night, I tried their Dine Out Vancouver menu and thought it was excellent value. For $35, it included a Sapporo beer, five pieces of takoyaki, a bowl of Tonkotsu ramen, and mochi ice cream. It also happened to be Sake Friday, so we picked up a bottle at 50% off - hard to complain about that math. The ambience was generally fine, but the staff were doing a photoshoot for their new menu right beside our table. The lighting was extremely bright and the space felt cramped, and since the shoot lasted the entire duration of our meal, it became a bit distracting. Overall, strong food and good value, with a small but avoidable atmosphere miss on this particular visit.

    Came for dinner here with a friend. The first thing I noticed was that the restaurant was really…read morenicely decorated - nothing super showy, but there were these arches over some of the tables decorated with (fake) plants, which I thought was interesting and very pretty. The staff was very pleasant and helpful with menu suggestions. I ordered a vegan rice bowl, and my friend and I shared an order of the vegetable gyoza and an aburi cheesecake. The gyoza and rice bowl were great! The gyoza, which we ordered on the recommendation of our waiter when we told them we were looking for a vegetarian appetizer, were made with soy-based imitation meat that had a very meaty texture - simple but very tasty. The rice bowl also had the soy meat, but seasoned differently, with a more intense flavour, along with atsuage tofu and various vegetables. It was delicious and also seemed healthy. We liked the aburi cheesecake, but it was more lemony than we expected. The waiters who brought it out said the lemon was to cut the sweetness, but we actually felt like the lemon competed with the caramel flavour of the bruleed crust. The textures were amazing though. We really enjoyed our meal here and I wish I'd tried them sooner!

It was so light and crispy and the chicken was tender and juicy. Saku's katsu was so good that when I think about the katsus I've had is the past at other places I realize now they were just decent katsu. Other highlights here are their house made sesame dressing - so good. They sliced the cabbage salad so thin that in combination with the sesame dressing it was a great combo. I usually don't like that much raw cabbage but I ate every bit of it. The ambience is airy and cool. The staff were really great and asked us about any allergies. We'd walked by this place before and seen a line out the door. Now we know why.

Still comes with a little side of pickles, and unlimited rice, cabbage, and miso soup. No katsu sauce. The katsu was fried to perfection. Juicy, tender, cant complain. But since they serve it in a broth, it does get soggy really quick. Still good, but after a few minutes its just soggy. The broth is nice with rice; comforting kind of meal. The unlimited rice/soup/cabbage is just icing on the cake. My dining partner had the Kake udon (pretty good, noodles good texture and slightly smaller strands than most places) and Menchi Cheese side - basically a pork meatball with cheese and deep fried katsu-style, served with katsu sauce. This was excellent. My original review still stands. Excellent katsu, plus they have the consistency and reliability. $28-30/meal and its plenty of food for 1, especially with unlimited cabbage/rice/soup. Restaurant is nice and comfortable, good spacing and not cramped. Easy recommend. 5/5.
