Kintaro Ramen - Vancouver

Visited this place after playing tourist for the day and walked around seawall. Ordered their spicy ramen bowl and broth was tasty, exactly what I needed. Good portion and surprisingly I couldn’t finish the entire bowl. <br/ <br/ It was interesting watching the ramen bowl being put together. Place was busy during lunch hour and conveniently located near the bike rentals, Stanley Park and English Bay. Worth a visit and will try other bowls on the menu

When you first enter Kintaro Ramen, you’ll be hit with the smell, feel and noise of it all. The restaurant is relatively small but we didn’t have to wait too long for a seat at the bar. Bar seating at a ramen restaurant isn’t as comfortable but you have the best view in the house. You get to watch how all the magic is created...

On a cold rainy Vancouver day, ramen does hit the spot. Missed the lunch crowd and had a bowl of the spicy garlic miso ramen without having to wait in line. Kintaro is always consistent and delicious. A tad salty, but egg and pork was done perfectly.

One of the original ramen joints in Vancouver. Kintaro has been around for a while and has always been associated to being the answer to decent ramen in town.<br/ <br/ The ramen is pretty decent. Big portions. However, their broth has been inconsistent one day it was just perfect (flavorful and rich but not too salty or oily), the other day would be super salty. The noodles have great texture and we love the meat. <br/ <br/ Service is pretty quick it does sometimes feel like you are being rushed to finish and leave, but we can appreciate this since the establishment has limited seating. <br/ <br/ There is usually a line out the front the turnover is quick, you usually do not have to wait too long.

Not the greatest ramyun I’ve had but this place was still probably one of the top in Vancouver. The service was great, the noodles were great, the broth was a little too oily but still good. Over all I enjoyed this place, will visit again.
