    Okay noodles.I ordered spicy pork. Spicy pork was well seasoned and a fairly good kick. Staff was friendly and price was fair. Food was ready quickly.

    I had the TONKOTSU+ bowl, which is a combination of smoked pork pastrami, meatballs, chashu, daikon, shiitake, green onion, and truffle oil. This medley created a symphony of flavors that made each bite truly memorable. The rich and savory broth was the star of the show, perfectly complemented by the well-cooked noodles and the variety of toppings.

    My husband and I recently tried take out at this place for the first time. We were a bit skeptical at first about whether the ramen noodles would taste as good as in restaurant. Luckily, we live super close to the North York location, so the noodles were piping hot. The soup was packaged separately from the noodles, which prevented them from going soggy. They also gave very generous portions. I would say the taste and portions are about the same as what you would get in restaurant. *** Helpful tip: The North York location sometimes has an Uber Eats Buy one get One free deal. You can get 2 ramens for just $18.99!

    My first time at this location but have been to the downtown one a few times. Very solid and good choice for ramen in the area. Service was average. We went early for lunch on a Tuesday and it was already a decently busy. We were a little disappointed that the chicken wings were already sold out by then. I had the black garlic oil ramen which was really good and at a reasonable price.

    Ramen just taste so much better dining in! Maybe it's this location or we're hungry...the lunch here today was amazing! The soup and meats were so flavourful...and perfectly done soft boiled eggs! I got the Miso Black which is a bit spicy with garlic oil...so good! They only had the patio section opened with a few tables so you might need to wait a bit. The staff mentioned that they are hoping to open up inside soon but still trying to hire and train new staffs. It's really nice to see restaurants opened again!

    My girlfriend and I were originally supposed to stop by for chung chun rice dogs, but decided to settle with sansoutei ramen instead. We went around 4:00 on a Saturday, and it was not crowded at all; only one other dine in customer, and some uber eats deliveries here and there. Dining in does require a vaccine passport, but a QR updated vaccine passport is not required. The only con there is to this ramen store is the narrow and hard-to-navigate restrooms. It was uncomfortable for me to go to the washroom because of the lack of space and the dim lighting. Aside from that, I don't see anything else to criticize. Good food, good service, good experience:)

    Partner and I were in the area and decided last minute to come here for a nice bowl of ramen. Luckily at the time we went, there was no one inside and so we got a table right away. The ramen we both ordered were very strong in flavour, so strong to the point that I coughed a number of times haha (I don't think we can handle strong flavour). Service was minimal and there we did not wait too long for the ramen to come out. It was cold during the time we went and so the ramen did keep us warm.

    Every time I have ramen, I always feel hungry afterwards. This time wasn't different, maybe I just need to lower my expectations for ramen. I tried the Tonkotsu and the Tonkotsu Black. The only difference between the black version is the garlic oil. There was also chashu pork, black fungus, egg and green onion. Maybe a bit too salty. It was decent and fresh, but again not super full. The menu is concise. They know what they're good at and they focus on it. I like that. Service is very quick. They get you in and out. The space is clean but a bit tight.

    A Sansotei location in north York? I was really happy to see that as it's close to where I was staying. What's even better was the lack of lines! I used to go to the downtown location when I lived here and the line was always insane. But this place had several empty tables on a Friday dinner around 9. As for ramen quality, it's comparable to the downtown location. I particularly like the black version, as it is really flavorful. The meat portion is on the small side, so I typically get an extra portion to add.

    A bowl of ramen just really hits the spot on a cold rainy day. Sansotei is my favourite place for ramen. The broth is rich and creamy. Take out ramen is not as good as dine in but I like that they separated the noodles from the broth to prevent sogginess. The egg is always a perfection of soft boiled goodness and pork is grilled to perfect. I will def be back!

    GyuDon
    Amabel S.

    We ordered Tonkotsu Black and Spicy Tantan at first, and after we finished them, we decided to order a GyuDon. We wanna give it a try, but it disappoint us because the meat kinda dry, not too tasty, and we hope there's more sauce for the Gyudon. The Black Tonkotsu is so good! I got the thin noodle - it perfectly cooked. It comes with pork belly, egg, and black fungus Spicy Tantan also our favorite! Comes with pork belly, ground pork, bamboo shoot and egg. We are team thin noodle!! Service is superb! I gave 4/5 mainly of the Gyudon. Overall, ramen are flavorful and love the eggs! Follow me on instagram @astravel_eats

    A bowl of Ramen during a cold rainy day or winter always hits the spot, and this is the best spot in the area for it. The restaurant is clean with friendly staff, however, parking is kinda hard since they're on a small road off of Yonge

    Spicy tan tan. Can barely see anything.
    Michael L.

    Ordered a spicy tan tan with thick noodles. Arrived within 10 minutes, but it looked pretty sad. One small piece of half a chashu, a couple pieces of ground pork, a couple slices of bamboo shoots, a handful of noodles, and a whole egg, all for an excellent price of $11.50. The broth was interesting. The noodles had a nice texture and flavor. Egg was pretty nice, soft-boiled and slowly cooking in your hot soup. Chashu was alright, but way too small. And you'd think they could at least offer more than a dozen pieces of ground pork, given that this particular dish is served in "limited quantities" per day perhaps due to the supply of ground pork? But at the end of the day it's a really small bowl of noodles when you think about it. The place gets busy, so you might be waiting awhile. The place is also small, so even when you get a seat, you'll be seated right next to someone else. Can't really say it's a nice date place either. I suppose when it comes to ramen, it's quality vs quantity, but at the same time, there are a dozen other chinese, japanese, or vietnamese noodle shops in the area that will offer for the same price more meat, more noodles (some of them unlimited noodles), larger seating spaces, and/or more variety, and for those are just looking for a place to hang out comfortably and chat over tea for an hour or two while enjoying your food at a nice pace, there are better options.

    Finding great tonkotsu ramen outside of Japan has become something of an obsession for me. I've…read morebeen disappointed by countless bowls over the years, from Michelin-recommended shops in New York to overhyped social media darlings that make you wonder whether the people promoting them have ever had truly great tonkotsu ramen. Konjiki is good, far from great, but very solid. The broth has the right consistency with a satisfying richness, falling just a touch short of the deep, creamy intensity I personally look for. The noodles were cooked perfectly, maintaining just the right amount of bite. Nothing ruins a bowl of ramen faster than overcooked noodles. The soft-boiled egg was equally well executed, with a perfectly jammy center, and the chashu had excellent flavor and texture. My biggest criticism isn't what's missing....it's what's added. Like many ramen shops outside Japan, Konjiki includes pickled ginger, pickled takana, and braised bamboo shoots. For me, none of them improve the bowl. In fact, I think they distract from what should be the star of the show: the broth. In hindsight, I could have easily asked for them to be left out, but I've never really understood why they're included in the first place. Even so, this is a very respectable bowl of tonkotsu ramen and one I'd happily order again.

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.

I've honestly been avoiding ramen because Toronto has still been way too warm for a hot bowl of noodles, so cold ramen packed with seafood and bright, refreshing ceviche flavours immediately got my attention. We also tried the gyudon ramen, karaage, takoyaki and Ramune. Side note, the karaage was v v good, and the gyudon ramen is worth ordering if someone in your group wants something warmer and more comforting. Ambiance: The restaurant had a casual, modern atmosphere that felt comfortable for a relaxed meal. It was lively without being overwhelmingly, and the space felt clean and welcoming. Service: Everyone we interacted with was friendly and attentive. They were helpful when we had questions about the Ramenlicious menu and the kale noodle option, and our food came out at a good pace without us feeling rushed.

The blandness and wateriness of the broth overshadowed the good elements of the bowl. Ramen was cooked nicely with good QQ and the pork was tasty, but man that soup was so bad. 4/5 - The Pork Donburi was the opposite - super punchy and flavourful. Albeit the bowl was smaller since it's an appetizer/side but the flavour makes you feel full. SERVICE (4/5) Staff was friendly and very willing to get a side of salt without taking offense. Although it was a bit hard to flag down a server despite being half capacity at 9pm. VALUE (2.5/5) Similar portion size and pricepoints to other chain ramen shops but the lack of flavour knocks this down for me. LOCATION (5/5) Right outside North York Center station it is easily transitable and driveable with paid parking lot and street parking right beside. OVERALL (2.5/5) The bland ramen was a huge turn off for me and the rest of the meal and experience didn't make up for it. I'd recommend Konjiki or even Ajisen as better ramen options nearby.
