We walked around the area trying to figure out which ramen place we liked. We chose Hokkaido and were very pleased. We aren't ramen experts by any means, but to us, this place was great. We chose the Shio and Miso ramen with extra veggies and green onions. The regular serving size was a perfect amount (we didn't finish all the noodles). The noodles and toppings were fresh, bouncy, and the broth...oh my was it good. We sat at the bar, and as we were there, the communal table filled up, as did the remaining tables. The service was attentive and they answered all of our questions. They also kept our water glasses full while we ate.

First time - nice happy hour deal weekdays between 3-6pm that includes ramen, 3 gyoza and an egg. Good flavorful shio broth. Authentic ramen. Attentive service, food came quickly. Not very many tables as the restaurant is quite small.

I’ve tried all the other top rated ramen places in Van and this is hands down THE BEST. Rich, silky smooth broth, amazing handmade noodles and the perfect portion size (I go the large). Pair that with the best gyoza in town and you have the perfect lunchtime experience. Enjoy!!

We walked to Hokkaido Ramen Santouka from our hotel and had a wonderful treat when we arrived. The ramen was delicious, flavorful and just the right amount of flavor. The servings are sizable and my only regret was that I could not finish my ramen. This is a definite YES when in Vancouver.

I just had lunch here. I have been eating here forever. Miss the older staff before pandemic. My bill came to 25.50. I used a 100 dollar note. The waitress who is tall and slim, asked me if I needed change. I looked at her and said of course. She realized I was not impressed. Instead of apologizing for her lack, she glared at me. When she came back with change, she just threw the plate on the table. I just looked at her and she then glared back at me. How very rude! I have never encountered such rudeness at Santouka before!

Full disclosure, I have not been ti a lot of Ramen places. What I can say is this one “blows the socks” off the others I’ve experienced
Feels authentic with excellent flavours and prompt service
I had the Taniko Shio Ramen which was amazing

We’ve tried most of the ramen restaurants in the West End. Santouka offers a more diverse and interesting menu than the standard pot. Attractive ambience and good service. Don’t join the lemmings lined up at the usual joints.

Fast service, but not particularly friendly. Good ramen with generous serving size and selection of side dishes. Very tasty food.

On a Friday night when most other ramen places on Robson had long line ups, we stopped here and we enjoy a combo of a miso ramen with a side of grilled salmon. While the salmon was a bit dry, the ramen was excellent . We were served within 5 min from the order. The place is not great in decor but ok

Fast, very tasty ramen. We had read up before we went and we walked in, we felt we were transported back to Japan. Whilst we were their, all the diners were Japanese, so that already give us an indication the food would be good and it did not disappoint. The stock was tasty and creamy. Pork and noodles were excellent.

What a wonderful place. Small in size, but just right. Hotel recommended it so we had our doubts. Very friendly service. The food was really good. We really enjoyed the ramen. There were a lot of Japanese clients in the restaurant who had obviously been there many times and loved the food just as much as we did.
There are pictures to help you figure out what to try.

Brought out of town guests for ramen. One of the best restaurants on Robson Street. Located farther West than the shopping area, but well worth the walk.
This is a small restaurant and extraordinarily busy. Hope shared dining and pre-ordering doesn't upset you. The staff needs to move people quickly through the establishment during peak hours. Please do not be offended! If you are looking for a long drawn out lunch, this is not the place for it.
Enjoyed the miso ramen. The noodles and broth are both great and reliably tasty. The pork succulent!
The waitstaff are professional but the restaurant is busy during rush hours. I think of this as fast food, not fine dining. In and out! Please don't be put off by the rush. The food is great!

I had asked the server for some hot tea, which I know is complimentary of the house. When my order came, it was green tea bag and hot water. I had told the server at the time that this was incorrect but could not get her attention until 30 mins later. I was charged for the hot tea that I didn't even order and when the bill came, the server demanded me to pay for it. I repeatedly told her throughout while I was dining that there has been a mistake and she called me a "liar, I swear I heard you said that this is what you ordered." Worst customer service!

My intro to ramen couldn’t have a better start. Fantastic pork ramen and great green tea. Apples one of the very top places to have ramen in Vancouver and in North America. Reasonable prices great service.
