Hokkaido Ramen Santouka

I've passed this place for years on my way to Donki but finally stopped in today right as they opened. The seating area is nice, cozy, and clean - and the two ladies that helped us were really friendly. This is the first time I've had Santouka "style" ramen and - although a tonkotsu broth - it didn't taste as heavy. It's also nice because they have three sizes available with the menu price reflecting the medium size. If you order a small, it's $1 less than the listed menu price; order a large, add $1. I ordered the tantan-men and although the soup presents in a bright red color because of the chili oil - it's not spicy but really flavorful. The noodles had a great consistency/perfect chewiness so tasty broth + great noodles = great experience. I had a late breakfast (about 9) and walked

Nice little ramen restaurant next to Don Quitos. I ordered the tsukemen and it was good. The broth was flavorful with a slight spicy kick, fatty and aromatic with woodland mushrooms and an ajitama egg. It was well-seasoned but served lukewarm, and I would have preferred it hotter. The noodles had a pleasant chew, though a slightly thicker cut would have made it even better.

the cha siu beef cheeks were on the saltier side, as is the soup for toro kara; still very solid ramen though, liked that you could pick between small, medium, and large for portion sizes

Stumbled in on a Sunday at 8:45pm. I was seated immediately, and ordered the Toroniku Shio Ramen. Food came out lighting fast, and it was delicious. The broth was everything you would want, silky and rich, flavorful, and perfectly salted. The ramen was perfect as well. Bouncey with a nice bite. The Toroniku was amazing. Don't let the greyness of the meat deceive you. It was super tender and juicy. It also comes with green onions, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms on the side. I finished everything. I got a medium portion, and the final cost was $17.59 after taxes. This place will definitely satisfy your ramen craving, and if you want a large bowl it's only $1 more!

Visited this Hokkaido-style ramen place yesterday. The broth was a bit too rich for my taste, but the service was fast and the portion of meat was impressive.( but there is no egg )The pork was flavorful and not at all gamey, which I really appreciated. It felt more like a local spot than a tourist trap, which made the experience even better. Worth checking out if you’re looking for a solid, hearty bowl of ramen.
