FINALLY! Good Ramen in Richmond 😭

Richmond has been a ramen wasteland—Ramen Danbo, Afuri, Yuzu, Jinya, G-Men… all just meh. The only decent one was Marutama, but they only serve chicken broth ramen. BUT NOW… 🔥 Santouka Hokkaido Ramen has finally opened near No.3 Road! (They promised a fall opening but kept us waiting until winter… the struggle was real.) 🍜 MUST-TRY: Shio (Salt) Ramen ✔ Rich, flavorful broth—so good you’ll drink every last drop! ✔ Better than their soy sauce & spicy miso (those are saltier, but still decent). ✔ Consistency varies by location—Vancouver’s was too salty, but Richmond’s is perfectly balanced. 🚫 Skip: Fried Pork Cutlet (Tonkatsu) ❌ Tiny portion, overly greasy—felt like biting into fried oil. 📍 The Catch? ✔ Lines are LONG (30+ mins at peak times). ✔ No takeout yet—hope they add it soon because freezing in line sucks! 📍 Santouka Hokkaido Ramen (Richmond) 📌 Near No.3 Road #RamenLover #JapaneseRamen #RichmondEats #FoodieFinds #BestRamen #Santouka #NoMoreRamenDesert
