Sansotei Ramen is definitely a must visit. Stopped by one cold winter night to indulge in one of my fave comfort foods - Tonkatsu Black Ramen. A steaming hot bowl of soup with chashu, black fungus, a soft boiled egg, green onions and garlic oil was the best way to stay warm and out of the cold. You can even choose thick or thin noodles. I like thicker noodles. It makes the texture chewier. Great flavour. It was yummy. read more

Great ramen, the broth was quite tasty, so was the pork. Definitely worth the visit, but I can't speak for other locations. read more

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

Rich broth enhances the ramen noodles and meat, really evident. I heard it's a top 3 ramen in the area and I believe it. Solid and comforting. I appreciated a fairly small menu with shared items and they also offer the choice between thin or thick noodles. One bad thing to consider is disposing of waste, specifically leftover broth. It seems troublesome to dispose of soup in the garbage, I mean hot liquid and plastic doesn't mix well. Even if closing the container, it's not super secure and can leak or pop open from hitting the bottom (or getting hit by other items). Tonkotsu+ - it's like a meat lovers ramen! I was expecting the meatballs to be mid but they were actually compact, dense, and flavorful. Not over cooked and soft either. read more

In Toronto and have a craving for some good, quick, warm comfort food? Check this local Ramen gem out. Quick, efficient service with great recommendations, and beautiful chic decor. Food was yummy and very filling. I had the Zangi (fried chicken) and Tonkotsu Black with extra thin noodles.

I didn't try the ramen so I can't attest to it, but I had the Gyudon (Beef and rice) and potato croquettes (cheese and corn). The food itself was genuinely not bad. It was the portion sizes in comparison to pricing that really threw me off. The croquettes were served in 2 pieces, both half the size of a hashbrown and it was $8. The Gyudon was served in a miso soap sized bowl and it was priced at $11. So I payed $19+ taxes for two miso soup sized bowls of some rice, some beef, and croquettes. 100% not worth it. In all fairness, I didn't have what they're known for. But their side items were not fairly priced. For dessert I got the mocha cheesecake. It came pretty fast and was reasonably priced at $5, however, it was extremely frozen and hard to eat. Not sure if that's meant to be the texture but that seemed more like an ice cream cake. The atmosphere is good. I went on a Tuesday afternoon. Service was good as well. read more

Service was great. Food wasn't as good as how it once was. My tonkutsu soup was just warm which was a little disappointing. End up stealing my husband's miso Raman and it was hot and tasty. read more

The Tonkotsu has an almost buttery smooth consistency to the broth that makes it very easy and satisfying to drink. Each ingredient plays into the whole dish quite well. Yuzu cheesecake was a gem read more

Oct 2024 Just around the corner of the Doubletree Hotel Toronto, it was our first meal in the city. Seating- place is typical size for a ramen place. There were 2 booths, 2 chairs facing the window entrance and about 5-6 tables that can seat 4-6 people. Our one table was shared with another couple with the space separated by standing menus. I ordered the tonkatsu black with extra chaisu and d my wife got miso black. Added mango cheesecake for dessert. The bowl size I would size it as small (only size they have) and the option of thin or thick noodles. We opted the thin. The broth had a great aroma, good presentation. It definitely addressed my craving. Being picky, it wasn't the best ramen but I wasn't disappointed at all. Only reason I gave a 4 is because of that. Staff friendliness and service was a 5 star. The mango cheesecake was delish. My wife liked it. Would I go back? For sure because of how close it is to my hotel but I probably won't on this trip just because there's so many food places to try. read more

I had the Tonkatsu Black, which was so flavourful. The beef was tender and the base was the perfect balance of seasoning and oil. I got take out- which gives you the option of having thick or thin noodles. I had the thick. The employee was wonderful and even wrote a cute message. Service was fast and easy. The restaurant was clean and overall I had a wonderful experience! read more

Small location for this chain, but very conveniently located between the AGO and Eaton Center. It is hard to get a table around peak hours, especially if you are in a group due to the limited seating. Washrooms are downstairs, inaccessible. Server very nice, and fast, expect to have your food in less than 10 minutes. Consistently great ramen, but also nothing outstanding. I got the tonkotsu black ramen for lunch, with thin noodles to better soak up the broth. Each component of the ramen is decent - noodles, soft boiled egg, chasu pork belly, wood ear mushrooms, and broth. There is a drizzle of oil which adds a smokey/burnt taste to this dish. Price is fair for what you get. read more

Ok so keep in mind this is 'mall' food. I craved for a quick bowl of warm ramen soup. Didn't want a sit down meal but a quick on the go. I opted for their black tonkotsu ramen with thin noodles. The noodles had a nice slight chew, egg had a runny centre, and the pork charsui was soft and tender. Broth was tasty and not overly salty. Other sansotei locations I've tried resulted in mushy noodles, tough charsui, and hard boiled egg. Overall this location was pretty good compared to their other locations. read more

There's only 6-7 tables inside which were all full when we got there so we walked outside to look for another place. The waitress came out after us & said one table was getting ready to leave. I'm so glad she did! Best ramen I ever ate! The Tonkotsu Black is wonderful! Tender pork & savory broth. Daughter got Vegetarian Mazeman which she destroyed within minutes. Our more timid diner got the Shoyu & it was just right for her. Wait staff is SO nice! If you're looking for a good noodle place & are overwhelmed by the options, just go here & wait for a table. It's worth it! read more

Best broth I've had a casual restaurant. Very solid ramen and fair portion for the price. The service is 11/10 very very fast and very friendly. Aside from their one vegetarian dish the rest of the dishes are pork broth and pork based they can not do chicken as meat or broth. If you are kosher or halal you might have to stick to their appetizers. The restaurant is clean and has a washroom. Located in the heart of downtown so paid parking might be tricky, I would recommend ubering or taking the subway. It's close to Eaton Center . This is a chain so if this one is busy there are others around the city that you can go to. read more

I was in Toronto for business and was looking for something a little different. I love ramen and saw that Sansotei was a few blocks away from my hotel. DONE! I was on my way....... So glad that I picked Sansotei because it is quality. I started with the Gyoza and was very happy with my selection. For my main, I ordered the Tonkotsu Black. Great flavor and portions. I always order extra pork and this time was no different. I really enjoyed my meal and had great service. This is a cozy place and would think that there is always a line. I came early on a weekday with no issues. Please support this business. read more

Wanting something quick and not too heavy for dinner, we had bookmarked this restaurant for ramen and gyozas. We initially wanted the fried chicken but the reviews on yelp weren't that great and I knew a bowl of ramen would not fill me up so we took a chance on this appetizer and surprisingly they were really really good as sometimes the skin can be hard but these were cooked the way I like them with the temperature of the filling inside just right. Service was quick and our server was attentive. In and out under an hour during dinner time. Like most small restaurants on this block, dining area is small. Oh and beware walking down the stairs to the restrooms as the "pitch" of the stairs is very steep. If you don't understand what I'm trying to say - you will see should you go there! read more

My girlfriend got a ramen, and they didn't secure the lid on it when they put it in a plastic bag for her. She went back to get a new one, to which the staff refused and scooped the ramen out of the plastic bag into a new container. Completely unprofessional and unsanitary and she wouldn't eat the food afterwards read more

We took advantage of the buy one get one free deal on Uber eats and ordered the black tonkatsu ramen to go. I was impressed that the takeout tasted just as good as dine in! The cha siu was charred to perfection which really makes this ramen place stand out! Pick up was really quick and easy. read more

If you know me at all, I am a ramen addict! So when there is one nearby that has good ratings, count me in! Sansotei Ramen was a tad bit of a jaunt from my hotel, but was worth it based on the reviews! Of course, expect the standard small ramen house, communal seating in the middle, but little to no seating outside of that. I could care less, but do not expect to stretch out here and or to have the children strolling around. Another aspect to consider is there is always a line, but they take your name and give you an estimated waiting time, so you can walk around the local neighborhood while you wait. When it comes to menu, very standard Japanese Ramen style menu, apps and ramen! I noticed a Tonkatsu Black, which peeked my interest, but it also helps many suggested it as well. Ramen was fairly quick as expected, which is great. After adding an additional egg, I was ready to go! Rating for it would fall between a 7 and a half and 8 out of 10. While I have had much better, it completely hit the spot on a cold Toronto night along with my green tea. Price wise, do not expect the break the bank here and when it comes to customer service, its quick and polite (Win). Would gladly revisit if I return to Toronto anytime soon. read more

Best ramen in downtown Toronto! The spicy tantan is constantly sold out but that's why you need to go early! We usually pair this with the gyoza (fried chicken pieces) which are juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. There's always a line up outside but it's worth the 10-15 min wait. Pro tip: there's only 2 four-seater booths, which are incredibly cozy. Pro tip 2: ask for mayo with your gyoza, it's a delicious combo read more

My Fav Ramen Spot in all of GTA, I've been coming to Sansotei for years now. Sansotei's classic menu does not play around! I love the attention to detail each bowl of ramen has, The noodles in certain ramen dish can be labeled as "thin" but its completely different based on which broth you choose. The Cha-siu its in its own level. I seriously can't find any Cha-Siu around GTA as tender and flavorful, but yet not greasy and heavy as Sansotei makes it. It's pork belly feels like its been pressure cooked before, and torched at the end. The fat being pressure cooked, it chars differently. The Broths are light, you don't get that fat film at the top. Allowing you to make sure you can taste the light qualities of the egg, and the vegetables. There's not one Ramen on the menu I don't like. It's a wonderful pleasurable experience every time I sit down for a hearty ramen bowl. I hope to see more menu additions in the future. read more

My family and I stopped by after passing this place on the way back to our hotel, and we are so glad we did! The staff was extremely helpful, assisting us in clearing some room when they noticed my mom was in a wheelchair. The Hokkaido style fried chicken was delicious and super crunchy. I had the black garlic ramen with the thin noodles. I rarely finish the broth when eating ramen because at most places, it's too salty to drink it all. But here the balance was perfect and every single of one us drained our bowls. Lastly, we tried the pear sake after seeing the poster on the wall. It was a perfect addition to the meal and a refreshing drink after walking around in the heat all day. read more

Another day, another bowl of ramen. This time Sansotei Ramen by way of Toronto, which actually happens to have a lot of Ramen shops to choose from. This would be a good time for my disclaimer: I eat A LOT of Ramen, so these tend to get a little more critical than others. Sansotei makes a decent bowl. The broth in the Tonkatsu ramen is excellent. Full of depth and flavor. To be honest this might be one of the better bases I've had. The rest of the bowl however fell short. Good noodles provide a good chew. The noodles are extra thin, so they can easily be cooked a little past done, like this was. The pork belly (which I ordered extra of because there's is nothing better than good pork belly), was disappointing. Dry, not much fat, and inconsistent. I certainly can't be mad at two eggs per bowl though! Overall still a satisfying bowl of ramen at a fair price. It's worth noting the service here is top notch. read more

Best ramen in town! Our server had the best energy. She was so fun and energetic. Her recommendations were on point. We ordered: Negi Shoga Gyoza - Pan fried pork dumplings with ginger and green onion Tonkatsu - Chashu, Black Fungus, Egg, Green Onion - thin noods Spicy TanTan - Chashu, Ground Pork, Egg, Bamboo Shoot, Chili **limited quantity in a day - thick noods Skip the Negi Shoga Gyoza and just get the regular gyoza. The ginger and green onion were unnecessary toppings for the gyoza unless you're a ginger, green onion fan. We ended up not eating the ginger and green onion. The gyoza itself was delicious! Oh boy! Both ramen were so good! The broth was so flavorful. Meat was tasty and perfectly cooked. Both thin and thick noodles were chewy and silky. Spice level of Spicy TanTan was on point! 10/10 - recommend! read more

Not a review of our experience at the restaurant, considering we never made it to being able to eat. As soon as we walked in, we were shooed back out because apparently they have to check your covid vacc outside before you even step in. Then we were made to show our IDs and our vacc proof at the same time because the girl said she had bad memory and needed to check our DOB - never had someone check that before anywhere? Then finally once we were inside, we weren't allowed to sit even though our 3rd party was parking the car and would be in 5 minutes. We left and took our business elsewhere. Understand needing precautions, but this was overboard. read more

Really enjoyed the flavor of the Tonkotsu Black and the smoky flavor of the meat. Spicy tan tan was also ok, but could have been spicier (the dish was hardly spicy at all). read more

We came here for dinner and was seated right away. I'm from Bay Area, California where there is ton of ramen places. This place was definitely comparable if not better. The flavor was less complex and felt more pure in terms of the tonkotsu flavor. They give a lot of food, and the egg isn't extra! The sauce they put on top is slightly sweet, but it matches well with the saltiness of the broth and pork. Overall, very satisfied with the meal. read more

We tried both the tonkotsu and shoyh ramen, full of flavor and the noodles had perfect texture. The service was quick and excellent as well.

Definitely better ramen spots to get in Toronto. It kind of tastes like old pork that's been sitting out for a while.

It's a chain so maybe their other locations are good but please stay away from the union food court location! read more

Is it me or have a lot of ramen joints popped up over the last year or so? Whatever it may be, I always find myself going back to Sansotei. This is my first time back in several months and I went straight for the tonkotsu (black fungus, egg, and green onion) thin noodle ramen. It's exactly how I remember it tasting-- on par with the stuff you can get in Japan. It wasn't busy Saturday at noon but be forewarned that the place gets really busy with line ups out the door during peak dinner hours read more

Quick and efficient Wings fall off the bone but no sauce Pork could be juicier Broth delicious This place should be a go to spot in cold and rainy weather. Seating is tight (communal) but if you're alone then it's great for eavesdropping on entertaining conversations your dining neighbors are having about dates they've been on. Alternatively, if you want to have a quiet and private conversation then this place isn't for you. They're quick and efficient. Staff is pleasant. The wings appetizer falls off the bone but has no sauce and isn't super flavorful, in my opinion. The pork in the ramen could be juicier but the broth was delicious. Not too bad but not amazing either. Solid middle of the road place. read more

After reading some great reviews, my friend and I decided to try this spot during our visit. All in all, a little underwhelming! Solid bowl of ramen with lots of flavor, but nothing special and a little too salty for my taste. We went on a chilly day in November so the line wasn't too long, but based on other reviews it seems the lines can get pretty lengthy. I'd recommend keeping your parties under 4 since it is a cozy space. read more

This is my favourite ramen place in the city. The black garlic one is unreal. I have a hard time deciding what to take a bit of next. The noodles are the perfect texture.

Place: The sansotei ramen is pretty good and especially busy. It feels like a long strip of seats and ramen lovers come in and out. Service: The service is pretty good as the workers all say hi and bye everytime someone comes in or leaves. Despite them being super busy they make sure you are satisfied. So that is a plus! Food/price: I really enjoyed the food. The noodles and broth is pretty good and the dishes look appetizing. I think the price is worth to the taste. I got the miso ramen and I want to go back and eat it again. Audience: Many college students come by and honestly I would go by myself and enjoy a bowl of quality ramen. Recommend/tips? I would stop by times that are not near lunch or dinner times. Come by to the off times so your wait is shorter. read more
