Good food, quick service, simple menu. Tried the chicken ramen with the thick noodles and it was very nice. Added spicy paste for $1 and it was a great addition. Eggs were perfect. It was quiet for dine in but many people came to pickup takeout orders read more

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

Service was nonexistent so I left. Host was on their phone walking around doing nothing

Good sir, attend thine ear, for I must needs unburden my soul on a most savory subject: a house of noodles, christen'd Sansotei Ramen. Lo! When first I did enter yon establishment, the air itself was heavy with a perfume most intoxicating -- a mingling of broth and pork fat that did make my very nostrils leap for joy. I near fainted with hunger ere I had yet taken seat, and the hostess, a gentle maiden of swift foot, did smile upon me as though to say, "Worry not, traveler, thy belly shall not remain barren long." Straightway, the bowl was brought forth, steaming like a cauldron in Macbeth's heath. The broth! O immortal nectar, rich and deep as Othello's jealous rage, yet tender and soothing as Juliet's whispers on the balcony. I didst lift my spoon and taste, and verily I declared aloud, "By Saint Crispin, this is no mere soup! This is an elixir most holy, fit to resuscitate Falstaff himself from drunken slumber." And the noodles--longer than Hamlet's soliloquy, yet more supple than Cleopatra's silken cords. Each strand did glide betwixt my lips as though eager to be devour'd, singing hymns of wheat to my tongue. A man might scarce finish a bowl without thinking himself a king, crowned not with gold but with egg, sliced in twain, its yolk as golden as the sun that smote Icarus. The pork belly? By my troth, never did swine meet so noble a destiny! It lay upon the broth like Antony upon Cleopatra, tender, tragic, and destined for swift consumption. One bite, and I confess'd, "Good pig, thou diest gloriously!" Yet the merriment did not end there. For lo, my companion at table did slurp with such thunderous joy that even the walls did shake with laughter. The sound was not unlike a trombone beset with honey, yet in that slurp was written the highest praise a ramen could win. Thus I pronounce judgment: Sansotei is not merely an eatery, but a temple, wherein broth is sacrament, noodles are gospel, and pork is prophecy. Go, gentle reader, and dine; for to miss such delight is to make thy life poorer than Lear's inheritance. Five stars I giveth! Aye, five stars and a slurp most thunderous! Would definitely recommend the Tonkatsu black ramen and the spicy Tan Tan ramen. read more

The right place to nurse our famished stomach after a day spent in downtown Toronto! After a wonderful visit to Ripley's Aquarium (Amazing, prob one of the best I've been so far!), our party of 6 adults, 1 big kid and 2 toddlers were exhausted and needed a good comfort food to nurse our stomachs. After a short search, I directed the fam to Sansotei since it was conveniently located towards outskirts of the city, on the way back out. Everybody ordered the tonkotsu except me with the miso black. I really like spicy, (if you haven't noticed already from all my reviews), and was hoping that this isn't gonna be way too salty and pasty like so many ill-attempted miso ramens are. We first started with gyoza appetizers and they disappeared into the thin air as they arrived. My son was grinning ear to ear already, revved up to devour the ramen. Thankfully, my miso black ramen was BANGIN'! Robust broth, not overly salty (still salty as the spicy miso ramen generally are), with good bits of pork that wasn't too fatty and menma, poached egg half, and so on. Not one of those skimpy "ramen" wannabes! Tonkotsu which my wife left 10% to me, was silky, porky without too much pork smell, and noodles were al dente - perfectly cooked. I also ordered cold black tea and boy that really paired well with my ramen! They practice good covid protocol like most places in Toronto so we didn't feel unsafe at any times (plus, it's not a terribly big place and they had tables spaced out reasonably). Many residents nearby were stopping by to pick up their dinners, so that's always a good sign. Parking can be a bit tricky but I just downloaded the Toronto's parking app and parked around the corner. Not too bad. We left very satisfied and were done in under 45 min. Other than the slight miscommunication with my brother not getting his to-go gyudons for his 2 sleeping toddlers, service was prompt and good. Giving out my rare 5-star nonetheless for doing ramen some justice! read more

After a long walk, I was looking for a place to sit down and enjoy a meal. Sansotei provided exactly that--a modern ambiance where I could relax and enjoy a delicious bowl of ramen. From the outside, the restaurant uses black to distinguish itself. The familiar signage of the ramen franchise I knew well assured me that I would have a good time. After navigating around the wooden fence, I entered the restaurant. Inside, it looked clean and modern. The decor was primarily black, but the wooden wall on one side, a black Japanese fabric curtain (noren) on the other, and thick ropes hanging from the ceiling like a chandelier made the interior quite interesting. As soon as I was seated, I got the menu. It had clear pictures of the available ramen, along with their names, descriptions, and prices, all easily readable on a single page. However, the paper menu was worn down on the edges, which slightly detracted from the experience. Here's what I tried: Tonkotsu: I ordered the classic bowl with thin noodles and a side of extra noodles, and I was very happy with my choice. The ramen came piping hot in a bowl. Even the basic bowl included a full soft-boiled egg split into two, along with other delicious toppings like green onions and thin slices of pork belly chashu. The hot, beige, fatty soup made of pork marrow had fat floating on the top, and there was enough of it to accommodate the extra noodles. The noodles were perfectly cooked to be soft yet still chewy. The broth was very well seasoned and matched perfectly with the noodles. I kept slurping until there was no more left in the bowl. I loved it to the last drop. As for the service, the gentleman who took my order was attentive at the beginning but allowed me to eat in peace afterward. The utensils and table were clean, as was the washroom. Overall, I had a great time at Sansotei Ramen. The restaurant offers good value, and I would not mind coming back when I am in the area and in need of a hot bowl of ramen. read more

I'm really sorry I missed dining here when all these good reviews were posted. Unfortunately I arrived on a day when whoever was cooking didn't have a clue and my experience was massively disappointing. To wit; my "ramen' was spaghetti noodles boiled in plain water and added to the soup. Tasteless and un-ramen-like. I ordered corn fritters on the side which were made out of mush with only a few kernels of corn, not fried, and were tasteless. The ambience was great, and the waitress, who was new to the English language, really tried her best to cope. I had heard good things about this chain, but obviously the referrals came from a different location. read more

Honestly this was just what I needed at the time. Ramen here is heartwarming and on a cold winter day it just made me feel so cozy. The portion size is generous and I think this is much more affordable than other ramen spots. I got the Spicy tantan (chase, ground pork, egg, bamboo shoot and chilly) It was just the right amount of spice and not overly spicy which I enjoyed. Overall a great experience and I'll be back for sure :) read more

Sansotei Ramen - Spicy tan tan - Ramen Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

3.5 stars I was checking out the Canoe Landing Park in Downtown Toronto during the weekend, and have decided to stop by this Sansotei location for a quick dinner. There are multiple locations in Toronto and I've always been very pleased with the food, service and beautiful decor at Sansotei in the GTA locations! I usually order Tonkotsu Black because I love the garlic oil but decided to go for something more basic this time. My friend and I ordered the following: * Tonkotsu Ramen with chashu, black fungus, egg and green onions. You can choose to have thick or thin noodles; I chose thick (bc I like 'em thick lmao). I did find the chashu a little too dry/overcooked for my liking tho. * Spicy Tantan with chashu, ground pork, egg, bamboo shoot and chili. This one is perfect for spicy lovers! My friend paired it with thin noodles, and enjoyed every last bit of it ;) * The side of Gyūdon aka beef rice bowl was not quite up to par. I always order this at the GTA locations and they never disappoint. This beef in this version was very dry, and it lacks the caramelized onions and sauce. read more

Wanted to try something close to my Airbnb, and this was really close. I got the tonkotsu black and added extra pork belly. When I tell y'all this is some of the best ramen I've ever had! The broth was so flavorful. The runny egg and tender pork belly made it even better. If you want a flavorful ramen, I'd recommend this one. I also got the gyoza also equally delicious. Service was good. She answered all my questions and helped my friends and I pick what we wanted based on things we liked. I really liked the decor inside too. It was a very pretty restaurant. read more

Came here during the afternoon lunch hours on a weekday. Had enough seating and a few tables full. I've had the Markham location Sansotei and remember it being good. So I decided why not try this location? Ordered: Spicy Tan Tan. This is a spicy soup base, not too spicy, with a sesame hint. If you love spicy ramen, choose this! Very hearty. I love their soup base as it's very fresh. Their egg was a little bland as what I'm used to. Should be more seasoned. Their noodles are good. Not too chewy or too soft. Just about right. Tastes fresh, and good meat:noodle ratio. Service: very careful with orders ensured they were all correct before leaving the table. Attentive. Attention to detail and friendly! Would definitely come back. If you're looking for a ramen place in the area, try this one!!!! read more

TIME: Wednesday @6:45pm It was my first night in Freezing Toronto so of course I would seek out a popular ramen spot. My part of 2 was greeted and seated immediately upon arriving. This place is so nice! I dig the the ceiling rope decoration. We weren't so hungry so we decided to share the following: SEAWEED SALAD - $5 CAD This came out immediately so it was like a refreshing appetizer. We pretty much ordered this so we don't look too weird sharing just a bowl of ramen. TONKOSTU BLACK - $11.75 CAD Pork Belly, Black Fungus, Egg, Green Onions, Garlic Oil. I chose the thicker noodle option from our servers recommendation and it was great! That garlic really brings out the flavor to the entire meal and I'm so happy I paid the extra $0.25 for it! The egg was soft boiled as I like and the pork belly was thinly sliced and tender. This overall was rich and tasty. I wanted some house ask but the only kind they had was some brand names bottle of PEACH SAKE for $29 CAD...really?! I'll pass. I enjoyed my time here. The bowl of ramen was good to share because the bowl was completely finished and no food was wasted! Was it as amazing as everyone hyped it up to be? Not really but it was a fine good bowl of rich noodle soup for the freezing weather! read more

A quaint little spot on Fort York Blvd, as I live in Liberty Village, by location alone this is one of the easiest most convenient spots to go to for Ramen. But convenience via location isnt the only reason to eat here, having been here countless times I cannot remember a single time ever I had to send a dish back, or had my noodles anything less then cooked perfectly with consistent heat for the bowls based on desired spice level, consistency is key and this place serves consistently good Ramen! read more

In an area devoid of solid food options, Sansotei is a godsend. Sansotei is my favourite ramen spot in Toronto - their Tonkotsu is an umami bomb, and it's chock full of other tasty accompaniments like mushroom, green onions, and chasu to compliments their perfectly done noodles. read more

I went on labour day and perhaps this was the reason why service was extremely slow. Unfortunately I had to wait almost an hour to get my bowl of ramen, which ruined the experience for me. I was never given an update on when my dish was arriving and there was no comp or anything to make up for the hour long wait. The ramen itself was quite good, I got the black tonkotsu ramen. It packs a lot of flavour, especially with the garlic oil added in. I always prefer the thick noodles to thin as I find it carries more flavor and is easier to grab with my chopsticks to eat. As I mentioned, I didn't bother ordering anything else as I was quite fed up with waiting near the end. Had the service been average I would have given this place at least four stars. It might be worth going again to try out other items on the menu and their side dishes, but it will have to be during off peak hours. read more

I got a spicy tantan ramen and I was pleasantly surprised by the taste and quality.

Sansotei Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

So when in Toronto I'm always looking for the best things to eat. I really wanted to get ramen this time coming to the 6. So I was doing a little research. Sansotei was one of the first recommended spots that I heard of. I was kind of skeptical because they have multiple locations. I was kind of looking for one of those places that have one spot but make REALLY REALLY good food that you can't get anywhere else. But I decided to try it anyways since i heard good things about it. So first, I got an order of their spicy slow cooked wings. When looking at them when they came out, it looked almost as if they were boiled. They didn't look that appetizing to be honest. However when I tasted them they were straight up delicious. The meat had great flavor. Whatever marinade or sauce they used in the cooking process was spot on. And the meat was legit fall off the bone. I could eat those everyday. Now to the star of the show. THE RAMEN. I got the Tonkotsu Black w/ thick noodles, extra egg and pork. First thing I always do is taste the broth. This lets me know what i'm in for, how good it will be, and the quality of the ramen. I ended up really enjoying the broth. It wasn't rich per say, but the flavors were plentiful. Also I feel like at most places that serve Tonkotsu Black, the garlic oil isn't that distinguishable between itself and the broth, They sort of taste like one, if that makes sense. However I could def tell when I got some garlic oil in my mouth. It had more of a defined taste which I really enjoyed. The eggs were really good and cooked perfect. The pork had nice flavor as well. The noodles had a nice bite to them. Not too firm or chewy, just perfect. Overall this ramen had a nice depth to it. Lovely layers of flavors in the bowl. I would definitely come back to this place when I do come back to Toronto. I really enjoyed my meal and it didn't cost much at all. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a good bowl of ramen in the 6! read more

This is located on Fort York in between a number of Concord condos. I liked most of the Sansotei in various locations, so I thought to give this place a try. The decor was cool with a hispter feel with an interesting ceiling decorations with a whole bunch of really thick ropes. One really weird thing about this place, the front door was extremely hard to open, and it was like a work out just trying to open the door. There were three girls who were more concern about chatting that serving us. Well, our group was the only table there around the afternoon time. I didn't know that they even charge for hot tea, because most of the places that I have been to have complimentary tea. The noodle I ordered was Shoyu, but the hot spring egg was slightly under cooked. I expected it to be cooked just touch more. The soup was okay but a little too salty for my taste. It was okay, but not sensational. So, if you want quality ramen, you might want to visit a different Sansotei. read more

Heard good things about this place before from friends and always wanted to give it a try. First time eating at this restaurant location since I was in the area for a conference and the overall experience I felt was pretty good. I went in the evening and wasn't too busy, about half capacity. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen and a yuzu cheese cake, the ramen was good but a lot saltier than I'd like, I added some water to dilute it and make it more enjoyable, so I guess that wasn't a dealbreaker. The flavour and taste otherwise were good for the ramen components, soup, chashu, eggs and so on. Service was friendly and fast, which was quite helpful since I was late to the conference and I asked the waitress if they could expedite my order, she didn't promise anything gave me an estimate of about 15 minutes, it took about 9 mins for the food to get to my table so I was pleasantly surprised. The yuzu cheesecake was delicious, however the slice felt kinda inadequate, and I guess that's because it tasted so good so I wanted more. I was pretty full from the bowl of ramen anyways. Factoring in everything, food quality, amount, service, ambiance, I'd say the value overall is good. And I would definitely eat here again to try something else. read more

Sansotei achieves a great depth of flavor in each ramen bowl! The miso black and tonkatsu black flavors were definitely potent in each bite. I think the tonkatsu broth was a little bit on the salty side when combined with the black garlic flavor. But aside from that, each ingredient was prepared well. The pork was tender and juicy, and the egg was cooked perfectly- not too runny or mushy at all. The service was good, nothing to complain about. And the atmosphere was clean and tidy, even as they were about to close. read more

Fell in love with Sansotei after trying the Yonge location. I'm excited to see this place pop up in several more locations around town. I had the Tonkotsu black with the garlic oil and the thin noodles. Beautiful chewy, noodles, creamy egg, lots of fungus and green onion. What's not to love. This is a nice, airy location with high ceilings and various kinds of seating... booths, high stools at a counter that looks out onto the street. read more

My bf is a mega fan of this chain, but I never was...until I came here. I would go to the one next to the Eaton Centre and always come out unsatisfied with the portion size, lack of toppings and overly salty taste. However, this branch at Fort York was a pleasant surprise. We came here with friends after going to an event at the Enacare Centre. What we first noticed was the long wait. It took us over 30 minutes to be seated, so I'm taking a few points off for the small dining area (something that is also terribly apparent at their other branches). I ordered the shoyu ramen with extra chasu and egg. Ok, I'm going to be very frank: the broth was more flavourful without being too salty compared to the broth at the other branches. The chasu was kind of thin, but the egg made up for it. When the yolk is kept cold and you slurp it up with hot broth, it really hits the spot! Also, this might be me, but the portion size also seemed larger compared to their other branches. Overall, I would say it was a solid shoyu ramen. Would I return? Well, Sansotei is still not my top vendor, but it's in the top 3 for me now, so yeah I would definitely try it again! read more

Sansotei Ramen - Tonkostu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

First of all, let me tell you that Sansotei is my number one ramen place in Toronto. I'm not a ramen expert, but I know what I like. What is the best at Sansotei? For me, it is the broth. The broth is the most important thing of ramen for me. If the broth is too salty, I will just say "bye bye" lol. I'm also concerned about noodle and soft boiled eggs too. If the noodle is too soaky and the eggs aren't perfect boiled, I will cry T-T. I love a runny yolk. I was very happy when I heard that Sansotei was going to open another location at Cityplace. It was like "a dream came true!" It takes me less than 5 minutes walk there. Yeah! I came on the first day they opened! So, I came here three times already. Everything was good. I could give it 5 stars if I didn't feel that my ramen soup was a bit salty on the second visit. I ordered Tonkotsu Black. My husband had it on our first visit before. It was great, so I wanted to have the whole bowl by myself ^_^. However, it was a bit salty this time. I also asked my husband to taste it too. He said it was ok. LOL, but I didn't like it. I prefer his Miso black. What wrong with me!? I always want to eat my husband's food - -". FOOD (4.5/5) SPICY TANTAN My number one ^^ TONKOTSU MISO BLACK TONKOTSU BLACK DRINK (3/5) We love beer with ramen. We always order a beer with ramen lol. They didn't have a liquor license on their opening day, but they managed to get it later. So we got our beer, Yeah! Anyway, they didn't have a pitcher of Sapporo when we visited last time! So I deducted two points lol. AMBIANCE (3/5) The place looks nice, but it was too warm inside the restaurant. I hope they check their A/C. OVERALL (4/5) Thi is my go-to ramen place. However, I hope they change their temperature in the restaurant. It was hot last time. I don't want to be a baked human. They might get confused and cook me with ramen lol. P.S. Any specials at this location must be great! I'm jealous of their other locations. read more

Sansotei delivers true to its brand with another hit at CityPlace! I visited and was not surprised to see a line up out the door; however, it did move pretty quickly. The food is reasonably priced, is very tasty, and the service is great. I had the Tonkotsu ramen which is one of their classics. With each ramen you get the choice of thick or thin noodles. The meat was a generous portion, the noodles were tender, and the egg was perfectly soft boiled. The broth was very flavourful and is made fresh daily in house from pork bone. I also tried the Gyoza which was pan fried but also soft. Overall, quite tasty and decent value for price ($4.50 for 5). read more

Came here with low expectations being it hasn't been reviewed much, not that many photos, and out of the main area. Came in around 9pm to a small tiny newer space with two servers who greeted both of us in traditional Japanese welcome! As we first walked in we noticed it being pretty warm and stuffy inside. ordered tonkatsu black and regular tonkatsu ramen. Both were good! Decent portion and came out fairly quickly being it was only us and another couple in there. Ramen was cooked pretty good, good flavor the meat was grilled to a crisp and the sides were decent. We were hungry so we also ordered the "fried chicken" but it definitely not what we were expecting. Came out hot, freshly fried and oily but not crispy. Could be worked on a bit more or we just didn't really expect it to be semi soft. The only reason why I didn't rate 5 is cause it got even more HOT while we were in there. It felt like we were sitting outside in the sun! The two little rotational fans help, but not enough. We would of ordered a beer or two but just went back to our room in the AC! read more

This was mine and my husband's first meal in Toronto and we did not regret it at all. We were very happy and satisfied with our ramen. Haha, so satisfied that we both cleaned our bowls. I ended up getting the Spicy TanTan ramen with thick noodles and my husband got the Tonkotsu Black ramen with thin noodles (and we love it when we get the option to customize our noodles..... Winning!) Both of our ramen came with a perfectly cooked egg and slices of pork belly. The Spicy TanTan had ground pork and bamboo shoots along with the egg and pork belly, and the broth was perfectly spiced where I did not need to add anything additional. I was able to taste the garlic during my first slurp of the broth... mmm! The Tonkotsu Black ramen on the the other hand came with black fungus, green scallions, and garlic oil. The broth isn't spicy so if you want some spice, just ask them for some. Overall, both flavors were rich and creamy so you have to try both if you ever visit. Staff here are also very attentive. They check up on you often and make sure your water is filled! I definitely recommend trying this restaurant.!Ramen is the BEST thing to slurp up on a very cold and windy day! read more

I have been there a few time since it opened in Fort York / City Place area. It can get quite busy at times. The quality is the same as other places but parking can be difficult if you are not familiar with the area. They have some bar style seats as well as quite a few tables to accommodate both small and large groups. The menu is the same as other locations. Small are super friendly and helpful by coming around to fill our water. Hopefully, they have fixed their AC since that was hot experience when I came here the last time. Overall, if you live in the area, you do not have to walk to the core for your ramen fix. read more

I love ramen! This is a new location very hard to find a parking spot on the weekends so your have to look around. Ordered the tonkotsu black - chashu, black fungus, egg, green onion and garlic oil. Also got the shoyu ramen - chashu, egg, bamboo shoot and green onion. You can choose thick or thin noodles. I tried the thin noodles which was okay, next time I try the thick noodles. The pork bone soup base is very good. The tonkotsu black is very rich and creamy. If you want something lighter go for the shoyu. They are both very good. Dessert we got the mango sorbetto very pleasant surprise it was really good and refreshing after a hot bowl of ramen. Quick service and very friendly staff. read more

Sansotei's ramen always hits me a little bit differently every time. This time we got their special ramen and it was a pastrami loaded ramen and the broth was super rich with all the buttery pastrami topped on it. It interestingly had Italian meatballs, pork cha siu but also a daikon radish as well in it. It was an unique and well balanced ramen. My bf actually really liked it too. I had their classic miso ramen and it had their original pork cha siu and yolky egg. I usually get their black miso but I entirely forgot how great the broth is for the miso ramen too . We both always get the thick noodles because we find the thin noodles have less texture and bounce to it. Next time I want to get their karaage as well! This place is definitely a go to when you want to go for a warm meal on a cold winter day! This location is also nice and cozy with super nice decor. Definitely recommend coming to check them out ! read more

It was cold and windy weekend afternoon and we were in search of ramen: the perfect comfort meal. We looked on yelp, and Sansotei Ramen appeared at the top of the list. Sansotei Ramen is a small restaurant, nestled in between condo buildings and a park in the Fort York area. There's nothing much else in the area. Once inside, there are a few tables/ booths, one large family style bench in the middle, and a few bar stools and high tables at the front window. It's quite small and I'm not sure if they take reservations (but it may be worthwhile to give them a call beforehand if you have a large party). It was almost full when we arrived, but service was quick. The menu is simple, and to be honest, I don't think you can really go wrong (90% of the menu is great). Between the three of us, we tried Tonkotsu, Tonkotsu Black (which I've heard is the best), and Spicy Tantan Ramens. So gooooood! The broth of the Tonkotsu is so rich. There were no sizes to choose from (it's a medium-ish size bowl for all their ramen dishes), and we still felt hungry afterwards. We ordered a side of Zangi (their fried chicken/ karaage). Definitely delicious but not sure if it's worth the price. For just a few small pieces, Zangi costs roughly half the price of a ramen dish, and we were still left a little hungry. Sansotei ramen definitely hit the spot and I'd come back. I'd recommend you order their tonkotsu or tonkotsu black (or both if you're hungry)! read more

This location is not like the others. The Dundas location is one of my favourite ramen places in the city which I frequent but this one is nothing like it. First of all there's no AC and it was pretty unbearable with a hot bowl of ramen even in 25 degree weather. Secondly, I wanted to move seats in the hopes of being closer to the fans and both seats (the fabric covered ones by the wall) had many wet splotches which I suspect is either from the last customers sweat from the lack of AC or cleaning solution that missed the table and landed on the seat when the servers spray the tables to wipe down. Neither of which makes it great to sit on. Next, the food itself is not consistent with the other locations. I ordered the tonkatsu black but the broth was super duper salty in comparison. This location is still experiencing some growing pains so I wouldn't be coming back to this location in the meantime. read more
