    Tonkotsu black
    Jahleel C.

    I've been here a handful of times already and haven't been disappointed once. There's plenty of seats available from tables to booths to two seater booths. You get seated instantly and service is prompt. The chef in the back would come out and serve you too if it's not busy. I always order the tonkotsu black which has always been the best each time. You can choose if you want thin or thick noodles, I always pick thin noodles. They put plenty of garlic in there for that nice aroma and taste with each bite! The chashu is soft and perfectly cooked. It's not hard or so thin like other ramen places. It costs 18 plus tax which comes to a little over $20. I highly recommend this place and would come here again if I'm in the area!

    Simple set - shio ramen (added chashu) and chashu don

    A friend recommended this place so I gave it a try. Service - 3.5/5: the service is fast initially but it took time to get our bill. She checked in on us a few times. There were 2 servers and it seems they stick to their own side. Ambiance - 3/5: it is a small restaurant and the 2-seat tables are very tight on space. I would also appreciate a little more padding on my seat. Food - 3/5: it's ok. I got the simple set - came with shio ramen, bamboo shoot and green onions with a chashu don. I added chasu to my noodles for an extra $4. The chashu in the don was flavourful but dry in my opinion. The chashu in the ramen was much more tender but that might be because it had time to soak in the broth. Overall - 3/5. It's ok. It is a little out of my way so maybe I'll go to this place if I'm in the area and crave ramen.

    Ramen is a must on chilly nights! We got two ramens and one appetizer. The corn croquette was kinda like a deep fried mozzarella stick but with corn and cream. It was $5 for 2 and they weren't big. Kinda pricey.. The tomato ramen base was delicious and I like how you can adjust the saltiness. We asked for less salty for both. It wasn't too busy on a Friday night about 7pm. No line up but a little bit nosy.

    Sansotei Ramen is always a hit up spot for me, when I'm craving some good old ramen. I come here for my favourite spicy tan tan ramen, and If not avail, their tonkatsu ramen is a hit. Love the runny ramen egg, pork slices, creamy soup base MMMmMmMmm! Pair it with a Sapporo, and it definitely satisfies your ramen cravings. Why not come here????? You'd be missing out.

    You can never go wrong with ramen! I've been to Sansotei Ramen in the past but this is the only time that I've captured it. I went around 2-3pm and it was fairly dead (which I guess it makes sense since it's not peak time). I ordered Black Tonkotsu with thick noodles and less sodium...the less sodium option was new to me but it was very appealing. I don't think that option is normally given in other ramen spots...so I will definitely come back when I don't feel like MSG Overall, ramen is always a good option and the service was great!

    Sansotei is one of the better ramen establishments in Toronto and I was excited to see it available in the Richmond Hill area. The restaurant is very clean and I like the modern interior. There are plenty of tables for groups of up to two. Since I generally prefer creamier broths, I ordered the tonkotsku ramen. The broth was rich and creamy. The chashu was thick, though a little tougher than I generally prefer. The thin noodles were cooked perfectly with just the right amount of chewiness. The black fungus and freshly cut green onions went well with the broth and noodles. The soft-boiled egg yolk was runny. Yum! I'll definitely have to come back when I'm in the neighborhood.

    Sansotei is a ramen shop tucked in a small plaza on Yonge. For a Sunday afternoon, the plaza is quiet. There's ample parking and there were no wait times to get a table. When you first walk in, you're greeted instantly by the waitresses. The restaurant has multiple tables, most that would seat two people. Any more, you'd be sitting in the aisle or cramped in the corner. I would say that the largest number of party that could seat comfortably in there would be about 4. Any more you'll be splitting off to different tables. The menu is small, which is nice. You're going to get ramen. You have a choice of thick or thin noodles and less salt in the broth. I ordered the regular tonkotsu ramen, thick noodles, less salt. We also ordered a bowl of fried chicken to go with the meal. For an addition quarter you can get the tonkotsu with black garlic oil, adding an additional layer of flavour. Tap water is served. The ramen came. The broth is creamy. It has a strong depth of flavour and it's hot, which is nice. It comes with two slices of char siu, woodear mushrooms and an egg. The egg was perfectly runny. Tender. Light in flavour. The noodles had a good texture to it as well: there was a bite that worked very well with the broth. The downfall of the bowl was the char siu. There's a good amount on there. They panfry it. It's not roasted or melt in your mouth. However it does have a good amount of flavour. Although I ordered it with less salt, it is quite salty to taste. So it's great if you like bold, salty flavors. The chicken is fried dark meat, served with a wedge of lemon to squirt on top. It's tender. There's enough flavour for you to want to eat it. For how much the dish was, it's ok. Boneless chicken. Overall, it was an average experience. Nothing that blows your mind. For a quick ramen meal, it's place on the map that's available. 7/10

    NO RESTRICTION on types of ramen!!

    Finally a descent/ famous ramen place in the upper Richmond Hill area! This location is very close to Hillcrest Mall, perfect for those of you who's hungry after all the shopping. I came here on a weekday, it was not busy at all. I opted in for their MIX & MATCH combo w/ miso black ramen. Their dessert would be whatever they had in stock. The noodles pairing was not a disappointment. The recommendations from the waitress was not wrong. Thicker broth needs a thicker noodle to absorb and allows the broth to stick to the noodle so that you would be able to taste that rich pork bone in every bite. I have been to other Sansotei locations before (a while ago, before I discovered YELP), and I always found their broth to be too salty yet flavorful. Because of the saltiness, I was always hesitant to choose Sansotei. But now that they have the option to choose the salt level, that's a game changer for me. With the less salt option, the broth was still as flavorful as usual. At this location ONLY, if you save your receipt, you will get 10% your next purchase within 14 days. But only for regular price items, basically just order whatever it's on the menu they give you. Do not order the combo if you are planning to honour this discount!!

    Tucked away in a plaza behind all the yonge street construction, one can taste delicious Ramen. Similar to the other locations in decor style, but the bowls are prepared slightly different here than the Dundas location which I'm used to frequenting. It's very tasty still, the noodles have the perfect chew and all the ingredients are flavorful. Just some small changes in bowl ingredients such as the chopped wood ear fungus to small whole shitake. Soup is flavorful but the protein is still very limited. Shrimp in the Tomato Red bowl had one small shrimp 30/35 size on top with a slice of pork underneath. The eggs are perfect softness with just cooked egg yolk. The place has nice upbeat music and the servers are friendly and attentive. It's a really nice addition to the Richmond Hill restaurants in this area. Great place to visit for lunch or bring a date.

    Came by here for dinner with my friends. I never knew this area was so developed since the last time I was here. Anyhow... so I was trying to find this restaurant. This signage is tucked below a roof ledge of sort, so it is not that evident unless either you live in the area or pay really close attention. So I had a party of 8 and luckily we got a table. Inside is clean and smells of yummy cooking of ramen. I ordered the ramen and Sapporo combo, which include the Miso Black with thick noodle and the Sapporo. My bowl of ramen came out not long after. I must say this ain't bad: the chashu was yummy and has just right amount of fattiness. The noodle had just the right amount of texture and chewiness, I always like noodles al-dente even ramen. As for the soup, I asked for low sodium. And I am glad I did cause I can taste the flavour of the miso instead of just salt. Overall experience not bad. Wish they got better furniture over the plastic and flimsy chairs.

    Sansotei Ramen probably one of the more authentic Japanese Ramen experience in the neighbourhood. I have been to other Sansotei Ramen's location in Toronto and Markham so I do know what to expect. A great tasty bowl of Ramen! I do like the set up of this location as there are more smaller tables as it is great for single diner like myself. Tonkotsu Black with Thin Noodle was yummy and really hit the spot. I would be back when I have this ramen urge again!

    Spicy Tan Tan with thin noodles
    Julie L.

    I came for lunch on a weekday and was seated promptly. It was comfortable enough in comparison to other ramen places and I had enough space to put my jacket on the bench as well. My colleague and I ordered the Spicy Tan Tan and Tonkotsu Black. The Spicy Tan Tan was good and more mild than what I expected. The egg was made perfectly and was probably my favourite part of the dish. Portion size is decent and I wasn't able to finish my ramen. I loved the taste of the Tonkotsu Black that my colleague ordered. I think it had just the right amount of flavour with a little kick of spice. What I didn't like about Sansotei's ramen is their broth. I felt that it could've been more rich and flavourful. It felt like it was lacking something. I was very excited for dessert ever since we sat down and saw the sign for the Black Sesame Millie Crepe Cake. We ended up ordering one to share even though I wanted one slice all to myself! I'm so glad we ended up sharing because I was not a fan. I was craving the the taste of black sesame; maybe I had my expectations set too high. It was very creamy (almost too creamy) and I couldn't taste the black sesame at all. I honestly wouldn't have been able to tell that it was supposed to be black sesame just by the taste. I would return for the ramen but I wouldn't order dessert again. At least not a millie crepe cake!

    This incarnation of Sansotei recently opened for soft opening. A lot of their staff are still being trained, but so far service has been very attentive. There are roughly 10 booths for 2 people facing each other, and one center area to accommodate a group up to roughly 12 people if you combine the tables. So for example, a small family would likely take up this area fully. So multiple large groups may cause some waiting, better to call ahead. Otherwise if your on a date there's no problem with seating. The menu is pretty simple and straight forward, which is totally fine as long as the food is good. This was our second visit here already, and the broth is nice and thick. We tried the black miso, black tonkatsu and tantan noodles. The tantan was the least appealing, while the black tonkatsu was very tasty. It comes with two different cuts of meat, some seasoned mushrooms and a nice thick broth. For sides we have tried the slow cooked wings and zangi (deep fried) chicken. The slow cooked wings were very uninspired. Tasty, but it's $6 for 5 wings that is wet flavored (think spicy soy cooked). The zangi chicke is quite tasty, not the usual thick breaded crunchy kaarage, a lightly battered chicken pieces. Overall this place is a welcome addition to the Yonge street corridor in Richmond Hill. The next closest ramen place that I consider good is another 10 minute drive from this location, so you bet I will be coming back.

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.

The vibe inside is cozy and relaxed with a modern café-bistro feel. It's bright, welcoming, and definitely lives up to the name "Chillax." It feels like the kind of place you can sit and enjoy a slow brunch or a casual dinner without feeling rushed. For brunch, two dishes really stood out. The braised pork eggs Benedict was fantastic. The pork was tender and flavorful, and it paired perfectly with the creamy hollandaise and poached eggs. The gochujang fried chicken brioche burger was another highlight. The chicken was crispy with just the right amount of spice, and the soft brioche bun tied everything together. We also came back for dinner and tried the seafood paella, which was rich, comforting, and packed with seafood. It's definitely a great dish to share. For drinks, the cheesy mango ice matcha was surprisingly good. The mango adds sweetness while the cheese foam makes it creamy and indulgent. A really unique combination that works well. Prices are pretty reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, with most dishes around the $20-$30 range. Overall, it's a great spot for brunch, dinner, or just drinks. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu!
