Kintaro Ramen

Small, low key ramen shop with one of the best ramens that reminds me of Japan. Been going for a number of years for my comfort food when it’s rainy, which happens in Vancouver. There can be a line outside during the summer months.

when u go for a ramen, what do u look for? a soup with depth and body from a broth simmered for HOURS, or onr that just tastes like salt water with no dimension and no flavour at all? because this ones the latter!! lay ur eyes on a ramen that just tastes SO salty u cant even eat it with a soup that just looks like soup but tastes like salt water!!! tho id say their portion on charsiu is better and their takenoko / bamboo shoots are very well marinated, the soup just makes it unbearable to eat... 1/5 as for the spicy garlic ramen it just tasted korean with the flavour of chili powder and garlic only... its also as bland as blanched chicken indeed 1/5 overall 1/5

My first time attending this restaurant, yes the portions are big but the ramen 🍜 broth is bland, the noodles are to thick and hard, the gyosas were ok, but to be honest one of the most greasy, flavorless and bland ramens I’ve tried in vancouver.

Japanese restaurant that instantly makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a traditional street-side eatery in Japan. The open kitchen lets you watch as they prepare the ramen and all its toppings right in front of you and the Ramen is so delicious and flavourful. The staff is very attentive and friendly, and they even have a ramen happy hour! I tried a bit of everything and would definitely come back—highly recommended.

Service here was great server was very nice and knowledgeable about getting us the right order. Really loved the broth it had just the right amount of richness without being too much. Chashu was delicious and so was the egg. Would come back if I were in town again!

Excellent value. Perfectly cooked ramen! Umami perfection! Very friendly staff from Japan! Wish I lived in Vancouver, so I can visit regularly.

My wife and I visited this restaurant today. When we first arrived, the staff seemed a bit unfriendly and asked us to wait outside for a while before being seated. We ordered two bowls of ramen, but the broth was quite greasy with visible chunks of fat, which made it a bit heavy and less enjoyable. Additionally, my wife found a hair in her soup. The server did apologize quickly, but there was no further follow-up after that. Overall, it wasn’t the best experience for us. I hope the restaurant can improve both the service and food quality, and I would suggest diners consider this before visiting.

I don’t understand the hype of this place. Just a standard for Japanese ramen (a bit lower for me 😞) I ordered shoyu ramen with BBQ Pork. The soup was just salty and greasy. BBQ Pork was smelly idk why. Don’t wanna say that it’s the worst but I think it will be the last choice of food for me in Vancouver. The staff were nice tho and the atmosphere was just okay. I won’t come back.
