Even the Japanese can't stop it-Vancouver Japanese Ramen

Ramen is one of the most common fast food in Japan. Its delicious, rich soup base and springy noodles make it the first choice for many Japanese office workers for lunch. A chopsticks noodles noodles with a spoonful of rich soup base, and then sucked the ramen loudly into the mouth, which is a kind of Japanese appreciation for delicious ramen. Vancouver is a gathering place for gourmets from all over the world. Of course, you can also taste authentic Japanese ramen. In Vancouver's cold winter, let us warm up with ramen to heal your stomach!

Ramen Santouka

Shantou is a Hokkaido-style Japanese ramen shop, and it is already a global chain! It's so popular that it's the most famous Japanese ramen shop in Vancouver. There are not many seats in the store, so basically you have to line up every time you go. Shantou often offers seasonal specials, and the set meals are also delicious. It's just that the big stomach Wang Xiaobian feels that the weight of a bowl of noodles is a little small.

2. Marutama Ramen

Marutama is different from other ramen shops in that they specialize in chicken broth. Compared with pork bone soup, chicken soup is less fat, so it is not so oily, it tastes delicious and refreshing. And the noodles with ramen are very delicious! Those who like to eat garlic can also add fried garlic slices on the table (Xiaobian will add a few spoons each time), which is also fragrant and can add crispy texture to ramen. You can also choose the spiciness of the marutama soup base and the softness of the noodles according to your preference.

The characteristic of Kintaro is delicious and big bowl! A small ball of garlic on the ramen is added to the soup base, and the whole flavor is sublimated. Their fried dumplings are also delicious! The only disadvantage is that there will be a minimum consumption. If two people go to eat, don't just order a bowl of ramen.

5. Ramen Jinya Jinjia

Jinya recently opened a branch in Kerrisdale, and the business is also excellent. Their noodle elasticity is just right, and the soup base is a thick line. The picture is their tokotsu black pork bone soup ramen with no.1. The second most popular spicy chicken ramen will not be very spicy even if I choose the hottest hot one. Do n’t worry too much if you are used to Sichuan spicy hot pot. And their dumplings, barbecued rice and takoyaki are delicious. The only mine I found was Tokyo curry rice in combination, which is just a very simple curry sauce with rice. For the same price, choose chicken chashu bowl or pork chashu bowl.

G-Men, a long-established ramen noodle restaurant, changed its style a long time ago. However, other snacks in the original Izakaya, sashimi and simmered rice bowls also have food! The ramen portions are quite large, and they cost less than $ 10 per bowl. The soup is very thick and suitable for heavy food, but those who like light taste can also ask the staff for a lighter soup.

7. Taishoken

When you come to Dashengxuan, you must order this dipping noodle in the picture! Hot noodles are not suitable for hot noodle soup in summer, so try this dipping noodles. It is recommended to choose cold noodles, which will be served with half a caramel egg. In the soup base on the left, you can choose the fat and thin pork roast, and a hot stone is placed in the soup to keep the soup warm. Add a bit of cold noodles and dip it in the hot soup. You can taste the super-Q bomb noodles wrapped in warm soup when you eat it. It won't be too cold or hot. Only a small portion of rich soup is attached to the noodles, which can taste the thick broth without being too greasy, and the taste is just right.

The Kimchi Ramen and other hot soup noodles on the menu have a good soup base. It's just that the noodles are soaked in the hot soup and the kind of Q noodles without the cold noodles.

Finally, I will share a little egg. Although they are not ramen, they are also Japanese noodles.

10. Gyo-O Fish King

Fish King specializes in a variety of Japanese seafood dishes, including seafood wontons and seafood udon noodles. The udon noodles are Bukkake Udon, which is classified as soup-free, and the familiar udon noodle soup. Although Bukkake Udon has no soup base, as long as the yolk of the hot spring egg on the noodle is pierced, the egg juice flows into the gap between the noodles, and it will not feel dry at all. The fish king's sashimi is very fresh, so the seafood wonton is as delicious as udon!
