This is my second time coming through Squamish in the past 3 years and I remember seeing this place as we were passing by. Finally stopped in the area for lunch this year and we all agreed to try this restaurant. Oh my god, although we were skeptical, they did not disappoint! The moment we walked in, we knew it was going to be authentic because the staff were Japanese. My partner ordered the Paitan Shio Ramen which was delicious, flavourful and a very generous portion size. The soup base was on point and not too salty. I ordered the Tuna Avocado Roll and Negitoro Cone, and both were very fresh and delightful to eat. Loved the environment in this place even though it's small. Loved the wood vibes and the washroom sign! Would highly recommend trying this place if you're headed to or driving through Squamish!
Standard fare and prompt service! Always a solid choice. I liked being in the heated patio while it was cold out.
had a wonderful experience here with my family. we got 3 ramen combos, a chirashi bowl, and multiple sushis and sashimis and they all came out fast and delicious. the wild-caught red sockeye salmon was especially fresh and fall apart perfect. shoutout to Seia for being our server! you were so sweet and gave us great recommendations for things to do around Squamish :^))
Busy little spot in Squamish mid-week. Service is great and they serve really fresh sashimi including blue fin tuna. Probably the best sushi joint owned by a local Japanese couple. The menu is extensive and they have a lovely back patio.
I was pleasantly surprised with this place in Squamish. I ordered the Paitan Shoyu Ramen- it was on the lighter end as far as a Tonkotsu base but the flavour was there and the usual profiles I look for in the broth, noodles, and toppings were there. The chasu was on the thin side and they only give you one ( usually there's two or more in most places) the noodles were just right and the broth (shoyu based Tonkotsu ) had depth. The menma was standard Service was good and the place looked new and it was busy during my visit. Lots of street parking too.
Was quickly seated on a Friday night before the dinner rush. We ordered the sushi combo and ramen combo with the Paita Shoyu broth with pork and veggies and side of sushi. The sushi was a miss for us because the ratio of fish to rice was not great, too heavy on the rice. The ramen was the star of the night. The broth was super flavourful and there was an endless amount of noodles. Next time, we'd only order the ramen. Great family friendly restaurant and service.
Rainy day at Whistler so we drove down to try their ramen. It was a good thing we arrived just prior to opening. There was already 2 parties out front ahead of us. Shortly after, all seating was full. We tried the Paitan Shoyu ramen, Asahikawa Shoyu ramen and Taka Pork & Vegetable miso ramen. All soup bases were so flavourful. I had the Paitan Shoyu which was creamy and rich in flavour. It had a hint of smokiness (?) and was so delicious with the noodles. The noodles here were softer compared to a more chewy textured noodle at some other places. I personally prefer a chewier noodle but the broth made up for that. The egg had a beautiful rich, deep orange (like a sunset) yolk. It was nicely cooked but I wish it had a bit more flavour to the marinade. We got inaris as sides, as well as torched salmon and ebi. My husband also ordered salmon sashimi which he said was super fresh! All-in-all, we loved the find and will definitely come back!
I will never forget our meal at Taka Ramen, it was the perfect hidey-hole. I had the Paitan Shio and let me tell you it's the perfect meal to warm the soul on a cold rainy day. The service was excellent! The staff was so kind and inviting. The ambiance was perfect. The space felt intimate and even though it was packed, it did not feel loud at all. I will definitely go back!
Welp Yelpers another super tasty place to fill your tummy up after hiking Sky to Sea. Save your appetite for a flavor bomb. Ramen. Donbiri rolls all great. Splurge and get a can of Sapporo just tops off the happiness. Thank you for the right choices Yelpers this place is awesome. Clean ,Friendly and Gooooood! Yum Yum.
My expectation for Japanese foods is pretty high given I grew up and lived in Japan for a quite long time. When I first saw this restaurant, I wasn't expecting much as Squamish isn't know for Japanese foods (but it is a great place regardless!). After trying a few dishes, I completely changed my mind. Everything we have tried here has been great! They also have some food items you would only see in Japan. I highly recommend trying their sushi, seaweed salad, and veggie / healthy ramen.
This place is located in the heart of Squamish, BC. Parking along the main street can be hard to find, so be prepared to look for a parking lot farther away. Overall, this place was quite ordinary with nothing really standing out. The service was 3 stars, since the waitress questioned our selection of food when we asked questions. The quality of the rolls and ramen were also 2.5-3 stars. The rolls had dried-up rice and the ramen had only one slice of very fatty pork. However, the flavor was ok. When we went, it was really hot outside, but this place still did not turn on their air conditioning. Therefore, it was uncomfortable eating ramen as one tends to sweat.
This place is definitely a hidden gem. I visited Squamish briefly with my boyfriend. We were craving some ramen and this was the only one nearby. Service was great, parking was easy to find (public lot nearby), and the area is filled with nice shops and restaurants to walk around. I gotta say - everything we tried was delicious. The Taka Pork and Vegetable Miso ramen was flavorful and filling and the Hako sushi tasted high quality and left me craving for more. I also loved their hot green tea (free refills) - so much so that I asked them for a cup to go. For very reasonable prices, I would highly recommend this place for anyone craving Japanese food. It even beats many of the Japanese food I've tried back in Los Angeles, CA at this price.

I honestly didn't expect to find such authentic Japanese food in Squamish! The restaurant was clean with a nice, relaxed atmosphere, and the service was excellent from start to finish. One thing I really liked was that the portions were noticeably smaller than what you typically get at Japanese restaurants in the States--which I actually preferred. It felt much closer to the portion sizes you would get in Japan. The ramen especially surprised me. The broth and overall flavor reminded me of ramen I've had in Fukuoka, with that rich, comforting Japanese taste. The fish was also fresh and good quality, comparable to what I've had at other solid Japanese restaurants. A very pleasant surprise in Squamish. If you're craving Japanese food while traveling through the area, this is definitely a nice place to stop! read more
This restaurant was opened by the previous owner of Sushi Sen in the good old days! I was so excited to find their new restaurant when I visited recently with my parents. The menu is different now, but with the same high quality ingredients! It was quite busy when we arrived but we only had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated. The sushi was brought out quickly and we ordered a feast for 3! My dad enjoyed the mini seafood/chirashi don (bowl) while my mom had the savory ramen -- omg the noodles!!! I don't eat a ton of noodles normally, but I probably had half of the bowl they served here - so chewy and absorbed the soup flavor! I had a fatty tuna belly hand roll, the spot prawn nigiri, and uni nigiri aside from sharing the ramen and the rolls we ordered for the table. Everything was AMAZING! We chatted with the owner and she was so sweet. We loved our whole experience here and can't wait to return! Parking in this area is plentiful on the street especially because most of the shops close before dinnertime! read more

Really great ramen place in Squamish! Came here with my girlfriend after we hiked at Shannon Falls and it was the perfect meal for an overcast day. We both got the ramen combo with hako sushi. Asahikawa Shio Ramen 5/5: This was really good! Super simple but super comforting broth. Very flavorful without being too salty. One of the better shio ramen I've ever had. Highly recommend for a classic ramen. Hako Sushi 5/5 I got the salmon and sea bream sushi. Both were really good, especially the salmon! Would definitely order again. The hot green tea was also really really good and complemented the hot ramen perfectly. The staff is friendly and answered all of our questions, and even gave us a free refill of hot green tea to-go. Good location in a walkable area, and there's parking nearby on the street or in a public lot. A must-stop if you're looking for Japanese food in Squamish. read more

I ordered spicy vegan ramen since I was craving something spicy and this one hit the note! Loved the level of spice and it was so delicious. I was served quickly, but it took a while to get me seated even though I was alone (it was really busy when I arrived). Beautiful ambiance with great views in a cute little Squamish town. read more

Super friendly and Knowledgeable staff. Actively ask question and recommended orders so we did not over order. The vegan Ramen noodles is the best we have had ever. I mean ever. The broth was so delicious we were slurping it up and the crunchy vegetables and bean sprouts they were so wholesomely crunchy. Ramen spicy Vegan got a 20 out of 10. One will never go wrong. The Inari ( tofu with stuffed Japanese Rice ) were great. This is a come to location for Vegans if they want original Ramen and Jap/Korean vegan faire. Loved it. All 3 of us gave it 5 stars. In winter heaven sent in summer Zen like. read more
