3 stars utmost. Normal ramen with too many boasts.

Coming from Toronto, where they only give you two slices of meat and only half an egg, having such a huge portion was thrilling.But it was just ok. Broth was so so, meat flavours were good, egg was perfect. Too many bean sprout.

I love their vegetarian ramen. Usually busy but they are always sweet and kind. Comfort factor is high here, never mind a slight draft in the winter.

one of my favorite ramen in Vancouver. I enjoy their shio ramen and Spicy Garlic ramen with rich broth the most.

Great ramen and low prices for the portion size! The staff here are very friendly but the place is a little dirty/crummy but has nothing to do with the quality of the food here. The broth is quite flavorful and the noodles are cooked to perfection; not too hard nor mushy. Love the healthy portion of bean sprout and whole egg provided, however the cha siu can be a tiny bit dry; good nonetheless.

Prices remain reasonable after all these years unlike all the other ramen shops. The pork is still one of the best I've ever had; thick, fatty and tender. This was where I had my first bowl of ramen about 12 years ago and I still crave this a few times a year. The soup base seems to have changed a few years back and is not as flavorful, but the meat, portion and price brings me back often.

I always eat Miso ramen with medium fat soup and lean meat. There are more expensive stuff too but i go there for miso ramen. Friendly staffs and nice atmosphere.

While I chose to order a less traditional ramen, holy hell. This was exactly what I needed for lunch on a cold(ish) exploration of the city. I had the rich broth with lean BBQ pork ramen. So rich, so salty, so warm and hearty. One bowl will suffice.

I have been here 3 times now and I love it. Great Ramen especially considering the low price tag. Many options on the menu and I have never tasted a bad one. Great atmosphere and the staff are super nice and considerate. Definitely recommend coming here. The only negative I can think of is the building is a little crummy, but that has nothing to do with the quality.

Hands down one of the best ramen joints in Vancouver. Service is quick and friendly while the quality of ramen is amazing (good decent size of food). The space however is very small which is why there is a good chance of a line up outside and not sure why an egg would be a separate charge. An egg should always be included (in my opinion) in ramen.

Excellent ramen, fresh noodles, and a choice of rich, medium or light broth. Truly tasty and satisfying.

The reason there is an almost constant line up outside this tiny restaurant is because it is the best and most authentic ramen in town. Great food and great value. Sit at the bar to see how they make it.

I love KintaRo Ramen!! Been eating at this place for many years, even though at times, they are busy with long line ups. It is worth the wait for their quality ramen in slow cooked broth, with sumptuous toppings. Last night I craved for ramen and drove to Denman to have one. It happened to be their 20 years anniversary!! They treated all clients a Ramen miso bowl for $5!! Such good service too. Congratulations and thank you for continuing to bring a piece of Japanese traditions here in Vancouver.

The good:- Portions were HUGE- Price was cheap- Freshly made ramenThe not so good:- We ordered both the lean and fat meat and though it was OK. - Eggs were ok, both mine and my dad’s were a bit well done, and were not cut up nicely. Personally I’d still prefer our favourite spot @Danbo

Classic ramen spot in Vancouver. They set up shop way before Ramen was trendy or fancy. Kintaro quality, portions & pricing is on point. Always worth the lineup. Never pretentious. Always classic.

Kintaro Ramen is the holy grail when it comes to authentic flavourful ramen in Vancouver. I haven't found any other ramen place that comes close really. Also, the portions are great too given that each menu item is reasonably priced. Before your first visit to Kintaro, please be forewarned that it probably won't be your last. If you hate driving all the way to Vancouver, do yourself a favor and avoid Kintaro Ramen at all costs 🍜. They're really that good.

Small little venue but super busy! Open kitchen let's you watch the chef prepare the Ramen before your very eyes, super cool. Rich, medium and mild broth options, fatty or lean pork options. One of the few Ramen places I can finish all the broth and still love myself😂

Extremely good and Inexpensive Ramen. Staff are very friendly as well. I'm a pretty big eater but even the 9.95 Shoyu Ramen just fills me right up great place to go for lunch. They fill up quickly so best try to get in early.

I’m vegetarian, this is my favourite restaurant in Vancouver. I even bought the kintaro shirt! Huge portions and so tasty!!! Thanks

My opinion is kind of biases as I don’t eat pork and their main soup broths are made with pork. With this being said I still enjoyed their vegetarian soup and found myself full and satisfied. Everyone I spoke with tells me that this is their favourite ramen restaurant. The staff were kind and full of smiles.

I had read that this was one of the best ramen restaurants in the city. They really have their system down. The restaurant is small but if you are waiting in line they take your order so that when you eventually get a seat you don't wait long for your food. They have a somewhat simple menu but something for everyone. We all had different versions and they were so tasty. I would be sure to stop by if you would like an authentic Ramen experience.

The Ramen is affordable and in large quantity. Good for 1~2 people but if you have 3+ people in your group, you may need to wait for more time.

The broth and ramen is good here. The portion sizes are generous and the staff friendly. I tried cheese Ren here for the first time. Not my favorite as the amount of mozzarella overpowered the welcome cheddar. The meat cuts here are always good.

My favourite ramen! The portions are massive and the flavour never fails to impress. There might be a wait to get it, but they keep things moving quickly. Everyone who works here is friendly and attentive. Also, your water glass will never be empty - seriously, test it. They are so keen on refills, ha!

Questions & Answers

Yes the ramen is worth coming back for again and again!

yes

You can ask for the Vegetarian Ramen with Miso broth, that's completely vegetarian. Not vegan because it comes with a boiled egg, but the rest is plant-based. It's delicious, by the way :-)

Yes. They are on skip the dishes.

The nearest SkyTrain station is Downtown City Centre on Canada Line, not very near. You will need to use otrer type of public transit (buses), or walk from that station.

Do not think that I see that option on their menu.

It's pretty tight in there, I wouldn't say it's wheelchair accessible.

About $ 13 in Canada, if I remember correctly

No, I believe it has bone stock.
