Flavour feels like a hit or miss depending on when you go. Got the tonkotsu black this time and the broth wasn't as good as I remembered it to be. Besides that, the noodles were great, egg was perfect. Great to have on a cold day.

Got the black tonkotsu and it hit the spot for a chilly winter day! Price is decent for the food and staff generally has been really nice. Some ramen will have a choice of thick or thin noodles, of you like more bounce to the noodles highly recommend the thick ones.

Great vibe, music you would hear at a W HOTEL. Broth for Spicy Tan was excellent, rich and creamy. The chicken was fall off the bone tneder and slow cooked. Great fast lunch.

Good quality of food, presentation and atmosphere. Excellent customer service. Broth taste very good and pork belly was nicely seared. The meatballs were very odd and needs an upgrade.

We went on a Friday night and it was packed. It is better to make reservations. We ordered the following: 1. Tonkotsu (very good!) 2. Shoyu (very good!) 3. Zangi (fried chicken) - not a fan of the seasoning. Tasted a bit bigger and very salty. Quick service and clean. Would definitely return.

Arrived on a weekend for lunch and the first thing we see is a sign that the AC was out. We appreciated the transparency and decided to try anyways. There was no wait. They immediately offered a large glass of ice water which was thoughtful and pleasant. Throughout the whole meal, it was surprising that not once did I feel hot or even sweat. Maybe they have good insulation. The seating was comfortable and the establishment was clean. Wait staff were attentive and friendly. The menu is short and simple. We ordered the Tonkatsu with extra chashu (pork belly) and Shoyu with extra black fungus. The food arrived so quickly I didn’t even get a chance to start the customary ‘chat while waiting for the food’ routine. I’d say it was about 5 minutes. I had the Shoyu with extra black fungus. The portion was on the small side with 2 thin slices of chashu. The broth was flavourful without being too salty. Both of us were still hungry after the meal. After tips and tax, it came out to approximately $50. Pretty steep for something that wasn’t filling.

Just walked in to see how they are welcoming me as an Sri Lankan. That was 10* welcomed by a staff and gave me a great seat. The place was fantastic atmosphere inside. There were about another 8 people were having lunch. Place is clean and food is good. Mostly the server was a very great guy.

One of the better ramen places around, this satisfies which most often isnt the case when I go for ramen at a similar price point elsewhere. The ramen : - The broth is very rich (which I enjoy- a personal preference) - The pork belly is strongly imbued with flavor and has a silky texture - The garnishes are balanced in texture, flavour, and quantity. - The noodles are fresh, perfectly al dente, and taste nice. Some restaurants cook the noodles too soft and I find they taste very generic. My only reservations about Sansotei are that the price is very steep ($18 before tax and tip for thr tonkotsu black, my aunt ordered the spicy miso which was $19, and most other bowls are slightly more). I find this to be a lot for what is offered in the dish and experience, and the portion is unlikely to be adequate for many. The appetizers are also nothing to rave about - the seaweed salad is good but not memorable, and the gyoza isnt nearly as fresh or flavourful as a traditional homemade dumpling. Finally, the service is awkward and dry. This being said, Id come back if Im in the mood for ramen and have a tamer appetite that day.

Favourite Ramen place! Great value and generous toppings! The Spicy Tan Tan is different and a nice change from the traditional offerings, their black garlic one is done very well here also! I give them 9/10!

I have never experienced such poor service. I ordered my dishes with a young man. But, 30 minutes later, nothing came. When I asked another waitress, she said my order was not placed. It ruined my day. I will not come this location anymore. Sansotei in Richmond Hill is much better than here in any aspects. SERVICE NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED URGELY!!!

Phenomenal Ramen Shop, nice atmosphere and ambience, speedy food service. My personal favourite is the Tonkotsu Plus, the perfect bowl of noodles, everything in this bowl is perfection, from the pork belly (chashu) to the savoury truffle oil broth, to the other meats and shiitake mushrooms. The speedy service is what gets me coming back so often, it elevates the overall experience 10 fold.

Everything is either too salty or tasteless. Ordered a spicy ramen, the soup is way too salty. Original fried chicken is way too salty. Fried corn is tasteless. Maybe the chef should do a taste test before serving their dishes.

Second time doing a takeout order and I was shocked at how little broth you receive for an $18 bowl of ramen. Weve ordered out at other Ramen spots and never had issues with the amount given (such Ajisen, Kenzo, Kinton). Not sure if they provide more broth if dining-in but please be aware that the amount of broth provided is ridiculous. An $18 bowl of ramen should not have less than 1/3 of broth. Calling them to explain resulted in going nowhere.

If you say that s ramen, in Japan standard I can say it s below average, no matter the temperature of the soup, the soup base or the texture of the ramen. Only the egg and the chashu can say is ok. There are better ramen even in 15 min drive so probably I won t visit this again

I came on a Friday night and was lucky to get a table. My party of 4 didn t wait at all. I ordered the Spicy Tan-Tan noodles with thick noodles. Flavours are good and the thick noodles are chewy. The rest of my party ordered Tonkotsu Black. They loved it. I did get to try the thin noodles and I would say that I still prefer the thick noodles. I think it s worth it to order a side of extra noodles (+$2). The food comes out fast. It got a little busy later at night and there was only one server around, so the service slowed down. But she was still very attentive and met all our needs. Overall, it s a good ramen spot if you ever want a quick hearty meal.

The price of ramen is inexpensive that I can come often. I usually go to the one at Yonge Street and this is my first time to this location. I ordered a Simple Set comes with a Shio Ramen and a Chasui Rice. I have a small stomache so I can only finished the ramen and I made the rice as takeaway. My 2 friends ordered Tonkatsu ramen with thick type noodles this time. They are delicious!

We waited 15mins for our table which wasnt too bad. They were super busy, so things took longer than usual. The ramen I got Tonkotsu black was very rich with bold flavours. Its was decent portion. The restrooms were fairly clean as well, considering the rush so I appreciated that. The deepfried chicken wings were amazing, wish the portions were bigger.

GET THE TOMATO ONE!!!!!!!! I LOVEEEE tomato soup/broths so this one was soooo good. It was a bit too thick for my liking (I wouldve preferred it to be a bit more watery) but the flavour was on point. Plus there are these little mushrooms that are sweet, which sounds weird, but they were so good. They kind of tasted like sukiyaki broth-sweetness? I also really enjoyed the soft chasiu piece and the scallop. The karaage appetizer was also really juicy and delicious. I think you can only do walk-ins so try to go at a less busy time or be prepared to wait about 30 min, even on a weekday

Ive been here before pre-covid and the ramen was good. Today is the first time since covid coming back and doing take out. I appreciate the restaurant having online ordering and allows for pre-ordering for a later time. However, Im a little disappointed by the take-out experience. I ordered extra corn for my daughters meal but they didnt add it even though I was charged for it. The restaurant wasnt even busy because there was only one table of people and no one else at that time was getting take out. Its too little of a thing to go back but annoying that it wasnt included. Good thing the extra meat for my sons meal wasnt left out. My other disappointment is related how the food was packaged. It looked cute with a bowl for the soup and a little cardboard box for the noodles and toppings. However, since the noodles had to be transferred to the bowl of soup its a bit messier and all the toppings end up at the bottom. It would have been much easier if the noodles and toppings were already put into a bowl container and a separate container of soup can just be added on top. Its better for take out that the soup is separate so that the noodles dont sit in the soup for so long and get all mushy. I think Ill only go back after things go back to normal and we can eat safely at the restaurant. March 2023 update: went back to the restaurant, good food quality, quick service. There seems to more things on the menu.

Restaurant Hygiene Restaurant Design Service attitude Food quality and price TONKOTSU BLACK $17 black fungus, egg, green onion, garlic oil GYOZA $5.5 pork dumplings CHASHU $4 pork belly KAEDAMA $2 Noodle refill Ordinary, homemade ramen Compared with Dolphin King, it s probably only 4/10 Barbecued pork is soft and 0.5 mm thick Runny eggs , but not pickled? The ordinary soup base does not have the flavor of pork bones + garlic oil, and the portion is small. Adding noodle base will not make enough soup. You can add soup base for extra money The noodles are thin, overcooked and a bit watery. I also ordered thick noodles, but the waiter didnt ask whether they would be served together or later. They were served in one go, and they were cooked more watery than thin noodles. After eating the thin noodles, the thick noodles have become a piece of paste. The dumplings have a thick skin and are not crispy enough when fried.

Flovourful broth, great noodles with the right amount of firmness. Helpful and great service. Tantan mien (spicy) is limited per day so if you plan to order that ask first! Tomato is rich with a yummy scallop on top in addition to charshu. The black garlic oil soup bases are also a must try. Tried both dine in and take out and their food is always on point! Kid-friendliness: For younger kids, suggest to add extra noodles / toppings to a parents order rather than order an extra bowl that the kids cant finish. Also ask for unflavoured soup (free) to top up the soup.

If you do not like being in a crowded area where people could watch your mouth move as you eat or fumble with your chopsticks, then this place isnt for you! Its a walk-in restaurant that doesnt need reservation. I like that, lol. I want to spontaneous sometimes. There is a scan code on the tables to see the meun, or you could request a physical copy of the menu. Then, the waitresses were so kind. I mean, they would explain to you what the bowl of ramen youre choosing from entails if you ask. You would be offered chop sticks and a scoping spoon, but forks are available too if you ask. However, the cooking area, which is right opposite the bathroom door and open for eyes to see. The cooking space looked kind of very unkempt. I would like to defend them that it could be because of the amount of people and order they have to meet, but then again, I wonder if the bowl they serve with was thoroughly cleaned and dried? So, No, aint defending. Its a 4 star for me Vegetarian options: Yes, theres a vegetarian option. Never ordered that, but it stated on the menu. Kid-friendliness: Errm, just because I see kids in eating too so..yes. I think it is.

I was staying in a hotel a few minutes away from here. I placed an order for Tonkotsu Ramen with extra noodles for take out. When ordering they had an option to keep the noodles and broth separate, which was great. The ramen was really good and the portion size was fine. I usually end up with a lot of broth left over, which is why I ordered extra noodles so I could drop them in when I finished the first set of noodles. I don t have any complaints about this place.

Food: 1 Stars Service: 2 Stars Ambience: 3 Stars Value: 2 Stars Overall: 2 Stars I recently visited the Sansotei Ramen franchise and was thoroughly disappointed with my experience. I ordered the Zangi (7.00 CAD), the Original Tonkatsu with thick noodles and an extra egg (15.50 CAD + 2.00 CAD per egg), and the Spicy TanTan with thick noodles (15.50 CAD). Unfortunately, the Zangi dish was devoid of any flavour and lacked seasoning. The Tonkatsu broth was also quite bland and the soapy texture of the noodles affected the taste of the broth, making it taste soapy as well. The Spicy TanTan only had a hint of spiciness but lacked any real flavour. I was particularly disappointed with the egg in the ramen, as it was not only cold but also unseasoned, failing to meet my expectations for authentic Japanese cuisine. The seating at the restaurant was spacious and comfortable with booth seatings available. However, the ambience was only mediocre and the service was lacking. The server was friendly but never returned after taking our orders. Despite the restaurant not being busy during my visit, which was around 5 pm to 6 pm, I was still surprised that the service was not better. On the positive side, there was free parking available at the restaurant. In conclusion, I was extremely disappointed with my dining experience at this particular Sansotei Ramen franchise location. The food was not enjoyable and lacked flavour, and the service was lacking as well. I would recommend the Sansotei Ramen located at 9555 Yonge St Unit #12, Richmond Hill, ON L4C 9M5 over this location, as it proves that not all franchises have the same quality food. kellychan360

December 22, 2023

Ordered a tonkatsu black ramen and unfortunately the pork that came with it was rancid. The fat in particular tasted rotten. Server was apologetic and immediately said I wont be charged. Needless to say I wont be coming back there. The rotten taste of the pork still lingers even after hours had past eating it.

Good but not amazing, price and portions was reasonable, they should have more variety of toppings.

The specials were sold out by the end of the day so if you want them probably go earlier. I got the tomato ramen, the broth was a bit mild, not as tomato-y as I would have liked but I probably like tomato too much. The mushrooms were good, very sweet. They provided chili oil on the side for those who like things spicier.

Everything just good as expected. My son s comment: it would be perfect if tomato broth can be richer . Corn croquette is not a good matching when you are having rich ramen soup. Overall we are happy to having dinner here.

Ordered online for pickup but wasnt ready at the requested time even though I had ordered 30 minutes ahead. Ended up waiting for another 10 minutes when I really needed to grab something quick and go. The ramen was good even though it was takeout. It was annoying that they didnt give me a spoon. I had to eat like a caveman.

I decided to grab a quick meal at 12 PM today and oh my gosh it was the worst decision of our life first of all their broth is so water down to the point where it taste like water and salt combined it was extremely salty and then after we both got back, we got explosive diarrhoea which means everything here is not fresh and the pork here tasted like it went bad so I m not sure what they re doing. And to be honest, I should be calling the York, regional health officer to come check out their place, because they would definitely fail because the things in here are not clean enough or some thing that s why everyone has so many problems, including myself I ve I ve had explosive diarrhoea five times now.

Had the miso black ramen. Broth was rich and flavourful. Chashu, Spicy Kakuni, Egg, Shiitake, Garlic Oil. Chashu and kakuni was moist and delicious. Egg was perfect.

Service was horrible... walked in and was waiting to be seated, the place was not busy and 2 wait staff were serving the table by the door and did not make eye contact or acknowledge our existence... we decided to just walk to the empty table and ask them if it was ok to sit there which they nodded... disappointed... Food was well on the salty side ..

Has the tonkotsu ramen and some seaweed salad. We came for early dinner on a Saturday and didn t have to wait (two of us). Noticed a lot of young families at this time and was not as easy for them to get seated quickly as they can only want place high chairs at the tables and not the booths. Service was great, note that menu is online only. They didn t have any tantanmen available when we went- we would ve ordered that as one of ours. Parking: Amount of parking is good, though peak meal time is busy on weekends.

Came with my family today. The menu was posted on the pvc divider, it was hard to read the menu. Ordered Tonkotsu+, the meatballs were cold inside. The waitress gave us two new meatballs, still they were not full cooked. The chashu was cooked before, therefore they were cold as well. No public wifi. Poor signal while sitting in the restaurant. Don t think we will come back again as there are many better options out there for same price.

Taste decent. Got the tonkatsu but the portion is extremely small for the price of $16? The eggs in the ramen were literally cold when I put it on my tongue to eat. Also, the thin noodles were so chewy, did not taste good at all. Got the fried chicken too. It was 7$ and I only got 5 pieces in a tiny bowl with a lemon. If each piece of chicken is 1$, the lemon was 2$. Personally will not be coming back anytime soon.

Unfortunately not nearly as good as it used to be. - The soup base isnt as rich as it was before - The gyoza was cold and under cooked. The skin was also broken for one if them - The slow cooked wings was too salty and looked completely unappealing. - Inexperienced staff gave us the wrong order. But corrected the mistake right away. Credit where credit is due - Food arrived very quickly - Pork belly is nicely cooked and delicious.

We really like to go for ramen here. Their broth tasted rich and the texture of the noodles was just right (not too soft & not too hard). The quality was always consistent and the service was good. They did a good job keeping social distance after they reopened. My overall experience was great! It s been a while since we came here for ramen. Although we saw a few negative comments about the food, but we still wanted to give them a chance. We ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen and Tonkotsu Black Ramen with thick noodles plus two appetizers (Fried Chicken & Fried Japanese Dumplings). The ramen tasted the same as before. It was good and not like what the others said. The two side appetizers were not as good as expected. The overall service was ok and the waiting time was short. It s a good ramen place to try if you happen to be in the area.

The noodles are perfectly cooked, the pork broth is out of this world. The eggs are perfectly boiled, the pork is amazing. Put all that together it makes the best ramen I ve ever had. Forget I stay ramen, this is worth every penny of it. The staff are also very polite. I highly recommend.

I rarely find a bad ramen place - this is the worst ramen Ive ever had in my past 15 years of trying different ones around the world, period. The soup had a soapy taste, my wife couldnt even finish hers. Theres a weird MSG taste left in our mouth after the meal. Fried chicken pieces also had a taste of old oil being used. I typically give places another try, but this is one place that Id avoid giving my hard earned money.
