Ramen DANBO Lonsdale in North Vancouver

As usual a line up and as expected am amazing ramen spot! The broth is rich and flavorful, and you can customize everything to your liking. The noodles have the perfect texture, and the chashu melts in your mouth. Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make it even better. Definitely a must-visit!

One of the best in BC.

Spicy Negi-goma chashu men. Super tasty. 5/5 for flavour and service. Bit pricey for the food qty

I love this place! The ramen is always so great and service as well. Great broth and noodles for a REALLY cheap price. It can be a bit awkward with how close you are seated next to other tables, especially if youre sitting with someone else and trying to have a conversation but (to be frank) its not too big a deal. Just a great place to grab a quick and delicious bowl of ramen.

Ordered 2xs from here. Do NOT do take out! Youre lucky if you get a cup of broth. Charged me 53cents for hot sauce and got not even 1/8th of a tsp and they left out the one they were suppose to include!!!.. will not be back! I searched top ramen places and this place popped up! If its the top vancouver sucks for ramen.

This is the best Ramen DANBO location in Greater Vancouver. Authentic Japanese-operated, with bar seating that s great for solo diners. Thank you for the meal!

This place is fantastic!! Even when there is a line up to get in, the staff here are so dialled in, the efficiency and respectful service is top notch. The food here is great, perfect portion size, I love all pork ramen and the gyoza is to die for! I was really surprised reading other reviews because I have been here more than a handful of times and have never had anything but a great experience.

Ramen is tasty and delicious!

I didnt understand the hype behind Danbo ramen before but after a few years trying most of ramen restaurants in Vancouver, I gotta say Danbo knows what theyre doing. The quality is very stable. The broth is rich, and the noodles is always cooked at the perfect level. There must be a reason there are lines outside of all their locations.

Lives up to the hype! Delicious ramen, flavourful worth and you can customize it to your liking will come back.

Delicious. Wish there were more topping options, though. The wait can be a bother if you go for dinner.

Its okay Japanese Ramen restaurant if there is no line up. Is it worth it to wait line up? Definitely not. + dont order chasu don.

This was the best ramen I ve ever had, so great!

Not all Ramen places offer such a delicious bowl

Anything below a 5 STAR is blasphemy.. Incredible Ramen, why isn t every Ramon place this good. They ve spoiled it for the rest of us. A very happy camper after.

Happy to find the north van locations line for a seat is less than the downtown location. The broth always reminds me of the Ichiran ramen in Japan. Price is fair and taste .

My first visit tonight. I ordered to go, went there, ordered and waited for my food to be ready. I get home, and they forgot my egg I paid extra for it and only had the 1 ramen with side gyoza. Very sad to be missing crucial part of any ramen order especially on such a simple small order. Its even written on receipt and stapled to the bag. I tried calling but no one answers and says memory full

They forgot my egg on the order and no way to call or interact with them once home. Hopefully they will do better . The location on Robson is always amazing and accurate

fast and friendly service and consistency of tasty and delicious ramen makes this place become one of my favourite, especially on winter!

Excellent ramen in all aspects. Maybe a little spendy, but thats the price of quality. Vegetarian options: A vegan menu is available.

Without any exaggeration, the BEST ramen I ve tried! And I ve been to Tokyo

I ordered a takeout through doordash online. It was shown that my order was ready to pick up, but my order was not in the paper bag when I arrived. They started to pack my order when I arrived. After I brought back my takeout home, I found out theres only 2 ramens inside. They forgot to put my Soy Chashu & Takana Donburi in the bag. I only want the refund for the donburi in the beginning because I didnt want to waste my time and go out when it rains. However, I called them 3 times, but no one answered. So, I have to waste 30 minutes to go back to pick up the missed dish and come back home in the rain. The ramen was good, and its soup has a smaller portion compared to other ramen restaurants, but it has rich and intense flavor. Rice is good as well, but the fried dumpling(Gyoza) is a bit dry and overcooked.

The food, service, and atmosphere were all 5/5. Even with an eight-person line, we were seated in no time. There are plenty of customization options to make your order just the way you want it. The broth and noodles were amazing. The workers were incredibly kind and enthusiastic, and our food came out quickly despite the heavy volume of customers. They seem to have a swift operation in place. So far, this spot is doing an excellent job! Keep it up

So excited to have a ramen danbo location on the north shore. Finally we don t have to go over the bridge for good ramen. Ordered delivery on Uber eats and it took about an hour to arrive.

The food was so good and the servers are very nice :)

Very disappointed in this store. Rude staff, not child friendly. We went to the place and were told there will be a 20 minutes wait, no problem, i took the order sheet they gave to me and picked what we wanted to eat then gave back to the staff. During this time there was no one waiting outside except us. At this point my daughter needed a diaper change, we rushed back to the car to change her diaper and came back. We parked not closely and my toddler kid walks slowly. Its about 15 mins after we return. By this time there was a line of several people waiting outside. So they told us to start the line again. And got someone who was probably the manager to come and explain to me (both clerks had very poor English and couldnt express themselves clearly) 1. The man who may have been the manager was very rude and kept interrupting me with but during the conversation. There is no BUT, all of your excuses are after the fact, if there was a line out the door when I left I would have known that I needed to stay in line, but there was no line out the door and none of you ever tell us that! All the BUTs are excuses you guys are making for your own job failures. Even during our conversation, the other customers standing back of the line said that we should have been let in first. Yes, everyone there can tell it was obvious your problem and yet your customers are being held responsible. 2. We had already given the order sheet with what we want to order before we left, however the manager said he THOUGHTS we werent going to eat here. We never said that, so what makes you subjectively think that we are not going to eat here? 3. You guys asked us to take the sheet and order outside. So we make the order and give the sheets back to you. However, I contacted two clerks before leaving for diaper changing and none of you informed us to keep waiting outside. There was no sign outside the store stating this either. 4. We werent hanging out, we came back after changing the babys diaper immediately. Still being interrupted after we informed the fact and being asked to re-queue from the end of the line. Extremely child unfriendly. Disgusting place.

Clean your tables faster and get people standing outside seated. Why are your staff staring at tables that need to be cleaned up to get new customers seated and just walking away from it to do nothing else. There are fundamental issues here that need to be addressed for you to be successful. Whoever is responsible for front of house, start taking charge and doing your job or let someone work there who is capable of this. Staring through the window seeing somewhere you can sit at that you are not seated at is the absolute worst experience on Lonsdale. 0/5 stars right now. Complete waste of time. Do better.

Tasty soup while less content compared ramen on Hastings

Pricy!!!! This little togo bowl for ~$20!! Really?

The best ramen!! Tastes just like in Japan

We are by no means experienced when it comes to Ramen restaurants but Danbo lonsdale was excellent! Line up was quick, food was delicious and the service was very good!

Best ramen in Vancouver!

Incredible food, the vegan menu is great and the service was amazing!

My partner and I always love their noodle. However, this new branch is very disappointing. When we got to the store, there were several available seats inside, but the staff was too slow to get people seated, cleaning the table slowly, not giving people menu to fill in, and letting people stand outside to wait. On top of that, once we entered the restaurant, there is an awful smell of unwashed in the whole restaurant that we couldn t bear that ad left the restaurant without dining in. I really hope they can improve this because we do love their noodle.

The ramen was excellent service was fantastic and the wait time was pretty minimal and it was a good value compared to the other ramen places around here. The people complaining about the non-ramen items and giving this place a low star rating should maybe go to a different restaurant that specializes in those dishes.

Was yumm

Same great quality and service, less line-ups. One of the best places to enjoy Tonkotsu ramen in town.

Newly opened location and its always pleasure to eat at this place.

Been there a couple times, really great experience each time and the last time it was raining and we are all standing in line they offered us umbrellas. Very kind people and delicious ramen, best Ive ever had. We drive all the way from Maple ridge because its that great.

Classic Danbo experience, everything went perfectly flawless, great food, don t know how to make it better. Vegetarian options: Whole Vegan menu

So so so good! Highly recommend.

Vegetarian options: Theres a vegan broth for those who cant or dont want to try their pork broth. Food

Amazing ramen in North Vancouver finally!

Congratulations Danbo for opening up a location in North Van!! So happy I no longer have to travel DT. I went to Danbo opening day, the staff were very welcoming, friendly and dedicated to make sure their customers were happy. The ramen was delicious as per other locations. This will now be our go to Danbo for ramen!

Fantastic ramen and top notch service on opening night. Rich, umami broth, jammy eggs, and bouncy noodles. They ve done a great job with a crisp, clean reimagining of the space previously occupied by a North Vancouver staple. Highly recommended! Vegetarian options: Vegan menu available

I was a regular at the Kitsilano location for years and I must say the quality and taste is exactly the same, if not better! Very excited about this new location, couldn t recommend more! Vegetarian options: I opt for the vegan ramen simply because I don t like pork and they instead serve it with tofu. I add a regular egg to it every time, but I appreciate that they have a vegan egg option available that s just as good.

yum ramen

Good ramen. Enough said.

Danbo has opened on Lonsdale (Sept 12, 2024) and it s just as incredible as the Robson location. Wonderful friendly staff (even on opening day) and amazing ramen. No better bowl on the North Shore! Yes, it s absolutely worth the wait! (Bar seats were a bit uncomfortable though)

Great noodle! One less reason to travel to Japan. I was hoping the no tip culture from Japan as well but that wasn t the case

Im glad there is finally a genuine ramen shop in the Shore!! Its danbo so its a flawless bowl of greatness, nuff said. Food

Life changing

Japan portion sized, North Vancouver expensive price. You can do kaedama (add refill noodles) $2 for full portion or $1 for half portion. If you ordered chashu meat (6 pieces for $6), egg $2, the soup base and no green tea $2, water is free, after tax and tip $26+. Broth is good though, noodles and everything too, just rather pricey for ramen. I also thought the egg was gonna be marinated or seasoned like other ramen places but it was not, just a normal runny yoke 6 minute boiled egg cut in half. You can choose the broth richness, firmness of noodles, thick or thin noodles which is nice to have as options.

Thank you for having LEGIT vegan options!

What a discovery a ramen spot on the North Shore! Let me tell you, you won t regret stopping by, and dont even get me started on the food. The line outside? A sure sign this place was going to be a hit. There are two other ramen joints in the area, but let s just say they re not even in the same league. The food came out fast, the flavor was spot-on, and I threw in some gyoza for good measure because why not make it a full-blown dinner experience? The staff, bless them, yell in Japanese every time someone comes or goes, which really takes me back to Japan though, to be fair, I don t understand a word of it. Still, Danbo on Lonsdale has officially become my fall/winter ramen go-to, and trust me, it should be on your list too!

Delicious
