Sansotei Ramen Cityplace - Toronto

My partner and I were looking forward to trying the ramen here, but I was disappointed to find that there were no vegetarian options available. Furthermore, my partner doesn't eat pork, and it turns out that this restaurant only offers pork ramen. This seems like an odd business choice, especially in a diverse area like City Place.

The food was decent. I ordered the Tonkotsu, and the pork was on the sweeter side, while the black fungus was softer than what I've experienced at other ramen places. However, the soup had a bit too much salt for my taste, and I found myself needing to drink a lot of water once I got home. My 7-year-old daughter wanted the Simple Set, but they were unfortunately out of rice. On a positive note, the service was good; we requested that certain ingredients be left out of our bowls, and they accommodated us without issue. The restaurant was quite busy when we visited, with all the tables filled, creating a lively atmosphere. Would we come back? Possibly. If we needed a quick meal, we might stop by again.

I’ve tried Sansotei Ramen from various locations and usually I really enjoy their food. However, this particular location offered a very bland meal, and the broth tasted watered down. Additionally, I received a disappointingly small piece of meat, while other locations typically provide two decent-sized pieces.

They have excellent service, and the crew are super nice. The food is delicious. The money you pay is worth it. I highly recommend this Japanese restaurant.

Went for dinner got the black tonkotsu ramen. Service was good quick and efficient. The broth didn’t seem very warm although some parts were hot so not sure what happened there. Overall was good broth but wasn’t anything out of the ordinary.Would go again for convenience.
