Gmen @ NanChuu Ramen 📍 8391 Alexandra Rd #1160, Richmond, BC V6X 3W5 Gmega Ramen (RCMP Special) This signature bowl is a true standout—bold, complex, and deeply satisfying. The broth boasts a rich umami base with a well-balanced spiciness that lingers pleasantly without overwhelming the palate. The Pork is tender and flavorful, complementing the hearty noodles perfectly. Every element of this dish reflects thoughtful preparation and culinary finesse. Rating: 10/10 TanTan Ramen A beautifully executed rendition of a classic. The sesame-based broth is creamy and aromatic, with just the right amount of heat. The noodles are perfectly springy, and the toppings are generous and well-integrated. A must-try for those who enjoy depth and warmth in their ramen. Rating: 10/10 Ebi Mayo A reliable and familiar appetizer. The shrimp are lightly battered and fried to a golden crisp, with a creamy mayo drizzle that offers a touch of sweetness. While enjoyable, it doesn’t venture far from what’s commonly found in other Japanese izakayas. Rating: 7/10 Takowasabi This dish offers a crisp texture and a mild wasabi kick, though the overall flavor profile is relatively subdued. It’s a decent accompaniment for those seeking something light, but it lacks the memorability or depth of the other offerings. Rating: 7/10 Chashu Don A satisfying and well-composed rice bowl. The chashu is tender and richly marinated, delivering excellent depth of flavor. Paired with warm rice and subtle seasoning, it’s a hearty and comforting dish that holds its own outside the ramen spotlight. Rating: 9/10 Service The service is warm and attentive. Staff are genuinely hospitable and demonstrate an efficient understanding of the menu and flow of a busy ramen house. Despite the high volume of patrons, they remain composed and accommodating. Rating: 9/10 Ambiance Gmen @ NanChuu captures the charm of a traditional Japanese ramen-ya. The space is compact and often bustling, but that only adds to its authenticity. It evokes the feeling of ducking into a cozy Tokyo alleyway for a quick, flavorful bowl. Rating: 8/10 Price Portions are generous—particularly the supersized ramen bowls—and the pricing is more than fair given the quality and execution. It’s a place where value meets craftsmanship. Final Verdict Gmen @ NanChuu Ramen remains one of Richmond’s premier destinations for authentic Japanese ramen. Each bowl is crafted with precision and passion, delivering both bold flavors and comforting warmth. While the appetizers are a bit more conventional, the ramen itself is nothing short of exceptional. Expect a crowd during peak hours, but rest assured—it’s worth the wait. Highly recommended for anyone in pursuit of a truly authentic ramen experience.

My first time eating here and I stopped eating to post how delicious this experience is. We ordered the Shoyu Ramen with Chicken Karage and Ganso Gyoza Set... OMG 😋 The best miso soup I have ever tasted. It is full of vegetables. The ramen is perfect texture, the broth is so full of flavor. The gyoza is fresh chives, smoked something on tomato to clean the palette... Being half Japanese, I am not easy to impress with ramen, I have tried every where... usually I feel my ramen experiences have been marginal, but no joke, I stopped so I could tell you to eat here! 🤯

They’re open on Monday’s now! (Sept. 29th, 2025)Their lunch specials are such a good deal. It’s definitely in my top 3 ramen places in the lower mainland. Sorry correction. Just this Monday because tomorrow is Truth and Reconciliation day.

Authentic Japanese ramen. The portion is very good for the price. Broth is thick and very yummy. Pork is tender. Definitely one of the best ramen.

I think this is the second G-Men ramen that opened in Richmond, the original was at Continental Centre. Went for the lunch special here which was very reasonable considering rising food costs these days. Shio ramen is something I never order, but was full of incredibly subtle but tasty flavour, a definite must try. We’ve been here before, not sure where my previous review went, but definitely coming back for the Shio Ramen! Edit: another visit: Tantan men is nice and rich, sugoi oishi! A bit different than the Steveston location, but definitely both are awesome. Ate myself into a food coma, too sleepy to write anymore. 🤣

If you like quick turn overs, with a very tight seating capacity, and a decent lunch, this is the place. My friend had recommended this place. He said everything is fairly good here. So the next day I decided to come for lunch and hey, he's right. Service is quick to seat you down and take your order. Half way into my meal I was given the bill. But that's fine I was needing to get back to errands. And most people who were dining looked like office people. I had my ramen and karage and back into the car I go. The menu looked real good, I'll definitely come by again next time for dinner. Update: Dinner is delicious. Had the tonkatsu miso ramen, apparently most popular choice. It's a safe bet. Then got the akashiyaki, fried octopus balls in Bonito broth. Definitely had good flavors there. Last the okonomiyaki, Japanese cabbage pancake. Savory strong flavors, very comforting.

First time here and tried the Torigara ramen. The broth was so SO salty, the kind of salty that hurts your tongue. I couldnt drink the broth. The noodles were good, slippery and cooked well. Chicken pieces were tender but small pieces. Small portion size as me and my partner were still hungry after. Service was slow...we waited 20mins for food. Heard so many good things about Gmen but I was kinda disappointed and wont be returning as there are better ramen places.

My friend and I were there to have lunch yesterday afternoon. We ordered two ramens and a takowasa. The ramens had been served shortly after, but the cold dish still wasn’t ready. I asked the waitress to check, and she said it would be ready within a few more minutes. Somehow, the waitress finally realized that the takowasa was accidentally given to the table next to us, she took away from them and tried to serve on my table. The customer grabbed her arm and stopped her, saying that she had eaten it already. I was shocked. No matter the dish was eaten or not, it was served for more than 15mins, it’s the HYGIENE problem. Won’t go back to eat mostly likely. I also heard the conversation from the table next to us, they weren’t happy with what the waitress had been done to them. She took two wrong orders and with poor communication.
