91 Dundas St E, Toronto

One of the foods that I was really wanting to eat when I was in Toronto was Ramen. Though Edmonton is getting better in the ramen scene, I still find it lacking, so whenever I’m in a bigger city with more offerings, I generally like to go. Luckily our airbnb was close by to a few places. I was going to go to Sansotei Ramen but Hokkaido Ramen Santouka was right beside us.

The ramen that I went with was the Shio Ramen. The broth was mildly salty, and quite fragrant. The pieces of char siu were melt-in-your-mouth tender. It doesn’t come with an umeboshi egg but I got one on the side as well.  Great bowl of ramen!

The other bowl we got was the spicy miso ramen. This comes with spicy soybean paste to flavour the brothe. It features three kinds of chili peppers and the key to the flavour of their broth is kept secret. It’s one of their recommended ramens and for good reason! Lots of flavour.

Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at Hokkaido Ramen Santouka. The noodles had a good chew, the broths were flavourful and fragrant, and the toppings were on point. Really good Ramen! I’d definitely go back.
