Gmen@NanChuu Ramen Shop

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.

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.

Disappointing service and food. We used to frequent this joint a lot and usually now eat at the GMen at Steveston. This restaurant feels run down and grungy. A deep clean wouldn’t be a bad idea. The area where the back tables are have a strong bathroom/cleaning products odor and I noticed a customer at the table next to us complaining to her table mates about it as well. Tables were sticky and another customer also noticed this and asked for it to be wiped to which the server replied, “I already did it” before obliging. We waited for a long time before someone took our order even though the restaurant was empty at 5:30 (that should have been a sign) and then waited a long time to get the bill. Using a discount offered on social media, the server took my phone to the front and didn’t return it until I went and got it. I now understand why they need to offer coupons as people are not wanting to dine here. Shio broth was way too salty. I will not be returning. There are far better ramen places in Richmond.

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.

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. 🤣

Small restaurant with limited parking available in the back. We ordered a shoyu and shio ramen which were reasonably priced for Vancouver at $14 each. Ramen was solid with medium thickness yellow chewy noodles, but nothing standout.

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.

They had lots of yummy options and big portion size for the price. It was a little too big for me so I couldn’t finish it, but delicious!
