    About the Business

    "What is Mazesoba?" Mazesoba, literally translated as mixed noodle - soupless ramen. Japanese Chef Takuma Ishikawa created KOKORO mazesoba in Tokyo Japan in 2013. Soon Mazesoba becomes extremely popular in Japan and scattered in major Japanese cities, especially in Tokyo where KOKORO brand founder Takuma Ishikawa started his business and won the Best 2014 Mazesoba Award in Japan. Over the years, many tried to imitate the taste but nothing tastes as good as the origin of mazesoba by Chef Takuma. We make all soba noodles with multi-grain flour in house daily & we use Japanese technology to soften the water How we make our Soba Noodle to perfection Mazesoba, literally translated as mixed noodle. is ramen without soup, It has spicy hot minced pork, raw egg yolk, seaweed, Chashu, Green onion, bamboo shoot, minced garlic etc. on top. What make our noodle to perfection?

      Never had anything quite like this savory, velvety bowl of noodles, and I'm so happy I tried it! The waitress recommended the Niku Mazesoba and it was delicious. I also got the green melon milk drink as it was BOGO free, it was nice and sweet and definitely something a child would love.

      As for the noodles, think of it as a Japanese carbonara, with a nice coating on the noodles from the egg yolk as well as a bunch of aromatic mix ins like seaweed, garlic, and green onion. Add vinegar to cut the fattiness of the noodles and add some acidity.

      So, so good!

      Had a pleasant meal here, it wasn't too oily which is usually my complaint with mazesoba.

      We started with some karaage which was mediocre. I got the Tokyo mazesoba and added bamboo shoots, although I regretted not getting the Zenbu mazesoba which looked decadent. I stuck with the regular portion, and it was plenty of food for me. The toppings worked well with the noodles, which were an excellent texture, the meat adding a nice flavor to the noodles. I tried a bite of the salmon mazesoba which imo lacked flavor, would stick to a meat based dish that has more flavor.

      We were staying in downtown Vancouver and wanted some ramen, this was close to our hotel.
      Clean and nicely decorated restaurant. Service was friendly.
      Food was solid and pricing was fair. Ramen broth was rich but not salty. I liked that you could get more ramen noodles to add to any extra broth you might have.
      A satisfying meal.

      We saw this unique brothless ramen place in vancouver and knew we wanted to try it. We came around 6pm on a monday night and the place was about half full. I got the zenbu mazesoba which includes toppings like chashu, minced pork, egg, seaweed, bamboo etc and it was pretty filling! The flavors blend really well and I liked the variety of ingredients since it was nice to try a little bit of everything. This place is comparable to mogu mogu in socal and they are similar. Prices are reasonable and I enjoyed my meal.

      I was recommended this place by a friend while I was in Vancouver, so I came here for dinner by myself.
      It was around 7pm on a Friday, but I was able to get a table right away. There were quite a lot of couples and solo customers in the store. I ordered Zenbu Mazesoba from the chef's specials. I chose this because it's a mixed soba that has everything.
      Service is quick and kind.
      There are instructions on how to eat Mazesoba next to the chopstick holder on the table. Those who eat it for the first time should use it as a reference. I know the meaning of Mazesoba, so I mixed everything together first. If it's too oily, add vinegar, and if you want it spicier, add more pepper or chili pepper. The taste was too salty for me. Unfortunately I couldn't finish it all.

      Sooooo good. Simple and yet such a flavor bomb. You gotta get the Zenbu mazesoba! It comes with a little bit of everything. You can also upgrade to XL or XXL for free. Would be great to save for another meal!

      You can add vinegar to the sauce to help with the heaviness. Also, towards the end of the meal they ask if you want rice to mix with the remaining sauce.

      I highly recommend getting the Hokkaido crème cone! Super yummy and great dessert to finish off the meal.

      My partner has been raving about this restaurant so when we visited Canada, we knew we had to go together. The place itself was so cute and simple. Staff were super friendly and attentive to our needs.

      I actually regretted ordering the ramen after trying the mazesoba because it was THAT good! Everything was delicious and the ice cream (Hokkaido crème cone) is a must try! I will definitely be back if I ever visit Canada again.

      They now offer free noodle upgrades to XL or XXL sizes! My friend convinced me to go for the XXL and just take it home after. Tt was a good idea as I only ate about half of it. You can't tell from the photo but the bowl is very deep.

      I had the Spicy Mazesoba and you can choose a spice level from 1-3. I went with 1 and it was good for me. It seems like they just put in the chili flakes that are also available on the table? My friend had the Zenbu Mazesoba which comes with a bit of everything.

      The sauce is very creamy so it does get heavy after a while so add some vinegar!

      Came here for the Hokkaido crème the dessert itself was good but we were disgusted by the smell and how dirty this establishment is esp the floors. The first thing that needs to go are the disgusting floors and just everything about the place needs replaced. Looks like this place maybe use to be a diner but looks like they did not change out anything and my wife and I would never eat here due to sanitary and smell issues.

      This place is super cute and really yummy. I think it's really value for its price since you can get bigger portions of noodles for free! Also serves you a small bowl of rice after to eat with the remaining sauce. I got the level 1 spicy mazesoba bowl and it was REALLY spicy so I think be cautious if your spice tolerance isn't good. We were able to get a table right when we walked in for lunch on a weekday so overall good service.
