My family's go-to as it's close to home and the food is awesome! While the place is small and can get noisy groups, the excellent service and the tasty and consistent quality of food bring us back often.

This is a very modern looking ramen place I love the decorations and it looked very clean inside the employees were all very friendly I ordered some Robin to go to take to my hotel room which was up the street. They don't have toasted garlic slices for their ramen. I've only had it with slivered garlic in it, so that was a bummer. The ramen itself was just okay the broth had good flavor the noodles I picked were thin and we're al dente but I've definitely had better ramen. read more

The dining experience we had here was perfect. Food and service were both excellent. You can't go wrong with the Miso Black, which many of us ordered. I personally tried the Tomato ramen for something different. The dish was great. It was not as sour as I thought it would be, and it came out tangy and flavourful. What we all enjoyed was the mushrooms in the ramen. It was sweet, chewy with a juicy burst upon biting. I love the level of hospitality and service we got from our servers. They ensured we were properly seated along with the toddler and infant we have in the group. They also duly poured and refilled our water whenever required. I have had only generally positive experiences from Sansotei Raman (other branch being Scarborough Town Centre). read more

Came here on a workday lunch. Gets busy so try to get on their virtual waitlist before heading out. Ordered the simple set, which comes with Shio ramen, bamboo shoot, green onion + chashu don for a whopping $12. Although the shio ramen isn't the full scale one with all the chashu, it comes with a chashu don on the side. This is my go-to meal where I want a guaranteed food coma for cheap. For $12 the value here is just incredible. Shio ramen is well done, noodles nice and chewy, broth is decent. Chashu don is really good as well, huge portions, tons on chashu and delicious. Come here just for the Simple Set! read more

Sansotei Ramen - Simple Set, Shio ramen + chashu don (12) - Ramen Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Food: 4.5 Stars Service: 3.5 Stars Ambience: 4 Stars Fill Factor: Filling I have to admit I may have a problem...I love eating ramen a bit too much. I find myself unable to look away everytime I come across a new ramen shop so of course when I found this Sansotei ramen I had to go in. The restaurant itself is not very big so seating is fairly limited especially if you have a larger group. It was very busy when I visited but I managed to get a seat at the counter right in front of the kitchen so I got to see the kitchen staff in action while I waited for my food. I ordered the tonkotsu black ramen and all I can say is it was good. The broth was nice and flavourful without being too salty. The chashu was tender and the egg was nice and creamy. I prefer thick noodles when I have ramen and the noodles here were just right for me. The staff here were friendly and the food did not take very long to arrive after ordering so that is always a plus in my books. All in all, I enjoyed the ramen here immensely which adds to my dilemma of which ramen restaurant to choose when I am downtown. Sansotei is definitely up there near the top of the list for me. read more

The shop is located in a convenient location and on an early Saturday, it was not busy and the staff are friendly. However, the ramen themselves are not great. We had two - tonkotsu and tomato based. Both are very watered down, making the soup based is quite tasteless. The noodles are also blend and don't have much texture to it. read more

A solid 4! Not the greatest Ramen, but it's good! We haven't been able to find Ramen that's as good as Hokkaido in Toronto yet, or even Vancouver, but admittedly this has been the best so far. We also tried the Chicken Zangi as our starter and that didn't disappoint either! We always prefer the Zangi to Karaage and this item off the menu just proved our point, at least to ourselves. So on a cold day, hop in, grab a ramen, and enjoy! Staff and service were nice, so thank you! It's got an in & out vibe; not a place to linger, and the quick service just reinforces that model. Enjoy your ramen folks! read more

Came here twice in a week for dinner given close proximity to the hotel I was staying at. Unlike some of the other ramen places around town, this one has a concentrated/limited menu. Beer/sake is also offered, as well as some starters/sides, and a couple cheesecakes for dessert. The ramen broth is rich without being too salty, the noodles cooked perfectly, and the toppings generous. You also have an option of thin vs thick noodles. The servers were sweet and helpful. read more

My first time at this location and first time tomato ramen. It was... sweet for me. The broth was sweet, and the shiitake mushrooms were also marinated sweet, so all together just way too sweet but others seemed to really like it on Google. Service was super fast- I think I was in and out in 15-20 minutes. It was not so crowded- not a lot of spots to sit on either. There were a lot of take out orders I noticed. Good to have around. A new location everybody! Enjoy! read more

Sansotei Ramen - Tomato ramen - Ramen Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This review is for takeout, based on a couple of orders in the past six months or so. The food was pretty good, but in comparison to a few other places I've tried, it just wasn't as good as I expected. The portion of broth they give isn't even enough to cover the noodles when poured from the separate container. I ordered extra pork on the last order but couldn't see that the portion was any different from the first order so that was quite disappointing and the reason I didn't rate higher. I would like to try eating in to see if the portions are different/better than takeout. I'll update my review once I get the chance to dine in. read more

I went to the location inside of Union Station, and was impressed by the elegant, spotless ambiance in the train station food court. It is easily one of the nicest food stalls I have ever seen in a train station! The ramen came out piping hot in only a few minutes--I got the Tonkotsu ramen and the broth was rich and just the perfect amount of salt and flavor. The noodles were springy and just right. Service was prompt and courteous. I will be sure to come back when I'm in Toronto again! read more

It's been a year since I had ramen. And since I was in the neighborhood, I thought I would pop by Sansotei to check it out. This one on adelaide is somewhat new, and whenever I visited in the past, the ramen shop was always jammed packed. I would leave empty handed and disappointed by the constant lines. Fast forward to a year later, the Pandemic has changed all that. I was able to walk into the shop and ordered my long awaited ramen. I opted for tonkotsu black ramen with thin noodles and less salty soup base. They packed the ingredients separately from the soup so nothing gets soggy on my trip home. The chasu slices were tender and flavourful. There were also eggs, fungus and green onion. Perhaps my favorite- the garlic oil. It was a long awaited reunion between the ramen and my stomach. Phenomenal experience. Craving satisfied. I already know my next trip to Sansotei will be to order their new item on the menu - tonkotsu +. read more

I like Sansotei's focused menu. It makes ordering a lot easier. Their ramen are larger in portion compared to other popular ramen spots in the city. I find that their ramen flavour is a lot richer - that may be good or bad depending on your preference. I like their zangi style fried chicken because it's very juicy and flavourful, but I do prefer karaage style better for the crispy crunch. read more

They have a simple menu with the usual suspect Ramen flavours. We have pretty much tried all of them during the lockdown and our recommendation would be the Tonkotsu Black, Miso Black, and Tomato. The broth was rich. The pork belly was sometimes a bit overcooked in our opinion. The Tomato one was a delight. Not sure if it was available at other Ramen shops. The broth has the acidity from the Tomato but it is not like a Tomato soup if that's what you are thinking. The Hokkaido Scallop is really tasty. Their Ramen are pretty standard, nothing really stand out except for the Tomato one, and nothing to disappoint either. Mango Cheesecake is actually the highlight. It's very light with the right amount of Mango favour that does not overpower the cheese flavour. read more

Food: 3 Service: 2 Decor: 2 (uncomfortable seatings) This is the smallest Sansotei ever! Came here with a colleague at around 11:30am , so there was no line up. There were four small tables and some seatings at the bar. We got the table and as soon as we ordered food, people started coming in. People were standing right behind us, so it was very uncomfortable when you have strangers looking over your shoulder along with the cold breeze whenever the door opened. We both ordered the Shoyu ramen, gyoza, green tea and chicken wings. The ramen was flavourful with two thin slices of pork. The gyoza was juicy and the wings were quite spicy. As soon as I put down my chopsticks, the girl came over and dropped off the bill. We literally sat there for 25 minutes and they were trying to kick us out. I'm giving the food 3 stars because we were both very thirsty once we left the restaurant and we had to go buy a drink. The tea (which I didn't know cost money) didn't help at all. read more

Look, I just have to keep coming back for the spicy tantan. The service is always good and the ramen is always delicious. By now I've had all of them and the spicy tantan is the one that keeps me coming back for more. Perfectly balanced, an easy amount of spice and tons of veggies. You really can't beat it for the price. A great casual spot, no frills, and reliably solid. read more

During the pandemic, it was hard for me to pack and bring a lunch purely on the basis on where I was working (Bay/Adelaide; all the food courts were shut down) but after craving for a bowl of ramen and not being able to find any good delivery deals, I found this gem! I ordered a bowl of their Tonkotsu Black with extra noodles and it was literally the best I've had in a while. I ordered online that time and picked up in-store and the waitress was very hospitable to me. I ended up ordering two more times that week due to it's short walk from my office and how it did not disappoint and was surprised when they started remembering me and asking about how I liked the food (as I had at that point tried different flavours to find my favourite... the tonkotsu black and shoyu are both tied). Sadly this was also my last week working in that area before relocating to a place near Yorkville so I have not been able to go back. I have found that they have a separate location near my home and was ecstatic when I found the same quality and flavours! I was told that the chef normally goes to each of the restaurants to maintain quality and to train the newer chefs. Would recommend this ramen chain to all my friends. I cannot wait until in-person dining is allowed so I can actually have a full experience of dining here. read more

Not the best ramen I've ever had, but quite delicious. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the portion size was sufficient. I did find the broth a bit on the salty side so I would go with the less sodium option next time. The flower was a nice touch I guess but was really pointless. I found the pork belly pretty fatty but the flavors were nice. I would definitely recommend the black miso! read more

Sansotei Ramen - Miso Black Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I have never given a negative review before but I left this restaurant feeling very uncomfortable. I came in for a bowl of ramen at around 5 pm by myself on a weekday. I was seated near the window and there weren't any customers nearby except for a few groups seated at tables on the other side of the restaurant. There weren't anyone waiting in line. I ordered my food and it came very quickly. It tasted great and the portion was a decent size for a bowl of ramen. However, as soon as I finished eating, a server came and took it away. A minute or so later, she came back with the bill even though I haven't asked for it and I wasn't even ready. The machine was already set for me to pay. After I paid, I wanted to drink my water and check the map to see where I am going next since I am a visitor here in Toronto. A male server then came over, gave me a thumbs up and asked if I am all good. I nodded while trying to take another sip of my water. I felt like I was given the signal to leave. I am pretty sure I haven't stayed for more than 30 minutes from start to finish. I don't think I am being unreasonable if I wanted to stay for a few minutes longer. I understand they will want me to leave if there are people waiting but there were literally nobody at the door or anyone else seated close to me. I felt like I was being kicked out without having done anything wrong. I have been to numerous ramen places by myself and I've never been treated this way. I will not be coming back again. read more

Very nicely appointed location although it's extremely small. Knowing they get slammed at lunch we arrived promptly at 11am and were able to get a window table at the back away from the door. The ramen choices did not appeal to us and the serving sizes looked small so we ordered a variety of sides, Gyudon (beef w/rice) Gyozas, slow cooked chicken wings. The wings were nice and meaty and the meat fell off the bone they had a soy flavor to them but needed chilli oil to amp the taste. Gyudon was ok, you do get a healthy portion of beef and the rice was perfectly cooked, again needed to add chilli oil. Gyozas were excellent we could have easily ate two orders of them. Service was prompt due to the space constraints they hustle you out as soon as you finish. Lineups are out the door, not sure if the lineups will remain after the newness factor wears off. As others have mentioned seating is very limited and you get a blast of cold due to where the door is situated. read more

I'm a big fan of Sansotei and was rather disappointed with this location. Waited for an entire summer for this location's opening but only to discover its mediocre ramen quality and small space. Better to try takeout or come here after work. Avoid lunch rush at all times. Food: I always pick the tomato ramen because of the broth and the big scallop in the ramen. However, the tomato ramen at this location had a broth that tasted watered down and the eggs were cold with a refrigerate taste. The Hokkaido scallop was pretty good and of fairly large size. The scallop was consistent with the other locations. Btw they always give you one per bowl. I requested for the thick noodles because they were more chewy in texture but got the thin noodles. I asked the server to double check and they still came back with thin noodles. My friends ordered the spicy tan tan, tonkotsu, and tonkotsu black. Tonkotsu black is essentially tonkotsu but with more garlic oil and a saltier taste. All were ordered with thick noodles and actually came with thick noodles. If I were to return, I would order the tonkotsu ramen. Their prices are the same as the other locations and can be viewed on their website. Space: Area is not big, which is usually the case for many Japanese restaurants. For this one in particular, not sure why they decided to place a gigantic reception desk at the front instead of optimizing that space for more dining space. On the left side (side closest to Victoria St), are tables for couples and on the right side are the high bar-like tables. We came in a group of 4 around 11:50 and waited another 20min for two tables of two seaters each to be available. They don't take reservations, which is typical of many Japanese restaurants. If you decide to come here with a group of 4+, better to try for take out instead. read more

Have been to several different Sansotei locations, I know that they ALWAYS have tiny tiny place for people to eat in, and always a long line, but sometimes its just frustrating especially for lunch hours. New sansotei at Adelaide Victoria intersection has been having the opening soon sigh for months and we were all very excited because it seems like a huge place from outside. The date it was opened we came in, and its just shocking because they put a HUGE (seriously I mean HUGE) reception area in the centre and there is like 3 tables to fit groups, they are basically wasting the entire store location to just have a useless reception area.... I am more than confused about the floor plan and the fact that we had 6 people and have to wait for like 20-30 min for 2 tables its just absurd. It tastes very good, just like the other Sansotei, I ordered my fav black garlic ramen, and I am satisfied with the quality. Their version of karaage is not drenched in flour, it is, no where near crispy which is actually very good in my opinion. They closes VERY VERY early every day so I assume they only serve lunch or early dinner, but if you are in financial district where everyone's paste is overwhelming, having to wait for 30 mins for a seat is not very nice isn't it? read more

This is the best ramen I have ever had, and my sample size is well into the double digits. I was visiting Toronto for a wedding in January and when I landed it was 0 degrees outside, so my instinct was to seek out some warm food. I love my Japanese food, but stumbling on this place was another level. The walk from the hotel was frigid, as I was not expecting it in the first place. My map app showed a location in the train station by the CN Tower but it was closed for renovations, my dad and I walked several cold blocks to this location and it was 110% worth it. We both got the Tonkotsu Black and I got the slow cooked wings which were fall off the bone good. The ramen broth was the absolute pinnacle of flavor, and the server was so incredIbly kind and friendly.

I went there on their soft opening promotion with 50% off on their Ramen. Although the place is small, but they emphasize it's focus on take out orders. Other than that everything was great. Their ramen portion is similarly to portions that you will find at any other Ramen restaurants. I tried their Black Miso Ramen and it was delicious. I also tried their Shoyu and also taste good as well. Yes, I was hungry and I had two bowls. Finally, the staff greeted us kindly and their service was excellent. read more

Food was okay but service was sloppy at the new Adelaide location. 2 people were ahead of our party of 4, all waiting for a table. There was an empty table for 4 people available at the time. The server advised the 2 people ahead of us to wait approx.. 5-10 for 2 seats at the bar. The pair pointed at the 4-person table. The server then explained that there were 4 of us so we should be seated at that table. The pair made a mild complaint that they arrived first. The server consulted with another staff and then proceeded to separate the 4-person table into 2 small tables, 2 seats each. Then asked the 4 of us to wait for bar seats. Poor poor decision. It does not matter that the 2 people arrived first. The staff has to consider the party size. By splitting the 2 tables, she created a huge backlog at the entrance, with a 2-seater remaining empty for quite some time as the rest of us had to wait for bar seats. It makes sense to seat people according to the party size, bigger parties at the table and smaller parties at the bar. To top that off, the server spilled leftover soup on my winter coat. Luckily it was turned inside out but the oil stain remains after I spot cleaned it with detergent and a sponge. I will have to take it to the dry cleaner's. The manager did give our meal a 30% discount but it seems that there are still a lot of kinks to be worked out. read more
