Victoria Ramen Guide 🍜 | 3 Bowls, 3 Vibes
As a ramen-obsessed foodie, I slurped my way through Victoria’s top spots—here’s the real talk! 1️⃣ Taoisis Ramen (My Heart’s Winner 💘) 📍 Why I keep going back: Rich, creamy tonkotsu broth (no MSG aftertaste!). Black Sugar Boba Milk Tea 🧋—chef’s kiss—thick, chewy pearls + not too sweet. Bonus: Adorable matcha tiramisu cakes (yes, in a ramen shop!). Owner vibe: Run by a Chinese sister—cozy, artsy decor with cherry blossom murals. 🍜 Must-order: Spicy Miso Ramen (ask for extra chili oil!). 2️⃣ Ramen Arashi (The “Hype” Bowl 🎭) 📍 The truth about the “best ramen on the island”: 1-2 hour waits (get on the digital waitlist ASAP). Classic Tonkotsu: Good, but not life-changing—broth lacks depth vs. Taoisis. Skip the takoyaki (doughy, sad octopus nubs 😢). Silver lining: Boyfriend approved (“This tastes like Tokyo!”). 🍜 Pro tip: Go off-peak (3 PM?) to dodge crowds. 3️⃣ Kuma Noodle (Budget-Friendly 🐻) 📍 Post-grocery-shopping comfort food: Chewy noodles (texture wins!), but broth is just okay. No boba = no bonus points from me. 😤 Best for: Quick, $12 CAD lunches near Sunny Supermarket. 🍜 Order this: Shoyu Ramen (light but savory). 🔥 Final Ranking 1️⃣ Taoisis (9/10) → Broth + boba = unbeatable. 2️⃣ Kuma (7/10) → Value champ. 3️⃣ Arashi (6.5/10) → Overhyped but decent. #RamenLover #VictoriaEats #SlurpWorthy
