      Sooo delicious and very reasonably priced. Had the classic ramen with a soft egg and the broth is so flavourful. Favourite ramen spot, simple but delicious.

      The food was on point what a great experience.
      The service provided was amazing they are very kind and helpful with the customers.
      And the ambience was great it made you think that you were in a different place

      It's a ramen, type: chashu-men. I personally added the soft boiled eggs and the extra pork.

      Tried this ramen place because it was the only thing open late at night. It was pretty decedent, i've had better. Would come again if im in the area, but i wouldn't go out of my way.

      Food came out quickly, the place is tiny and they initially seated us at a table connecting with another couple, which felt awkward, so we asked to move ourselves to bar seating. They also asked us to leave as soon as we finished eating, but the rest of our party was still wrapping up. Not the best first impression with service.
      The Rekka Tonkotsu ramen was just ok, I got it mild but still felt the spicy powder was a tad overpowering. The eggs were perfectly gooey and the chashu was super thin and tender.
      The Negi-goma ramen was not bad, but be prepared for an extra large amount of scallions in your ramen

      I remember coming here before and finding the broth wayyy too salty, however, with my recently visit, I found it very enjoyable! It always looks super busy, but it seems that the turnover rate is quite fast. We went around noon, and only waited about 15 mins before we were seated :)

      Got the Classic Ramen (Tonkotsu pork broth, Chashu-men $16.95) and the Shio Ramen (Regular, $12.45). I really enjoyed the classic ramen, it was so creamy and jam packed with flabour! The shio was good, but I felt that it was getting quite salty near the end. I really liked how they had the fresh garlic on the table, and it really added a new depth of flavour into the bowl. We also paid $2 for extra noodles and it went perfectly with the remainder of our broth!

      The wait is worth it. Our Airbnb host recommended it and specifically said that if there's a wait to wait it out and not go next door. The service was quick and got us seated and ordered quickly and the ramen was top notch. We would definitely be back if we were ever in town.

      Vegan/vegetarian ramen options?! Unheard of. I was so excited to try this spot and it didn't disappoint. Most authentic ramen spots have 1 vegetarian option MAX, and they're not always great.

      Ramen danbo is an authentic Japanese chain with 16 locations in japan and then only 2 in Canada and 2 in the US. Super special spot, not overrated....and it has the same amount of vegan options as traditional!! AND ITS SO GOOD!!!

      Tip: join the waitlist from yelp ahead of time if you're hungry! There was a large wait because it's a super small spot with only a few tables, but definitely worth it. We didn't join online but thankfully kits is a fun neighborhood and there was plenty to do with the time we had.

      Vegan classic ramen: rekka med., all standard, thin noodles add: takana (pickled veg) & real eggs (opposed to vegan egg option)
      Vegan shio ramen: all standard, thin noodles Add: real egg (opposed to vegan egg option)

      Everything was perfect! Spent 10 days in Vancouver with my husband and adult son . While my husband was working, my son and I stumbled across this ramen place. He said it was the best food on our trip (and we went to several well recommended and reviewed places)!

      Ramen Danbo at kitsilano area, it's a nice small shop that can get busy at times so I would suggest you get your name on the waitlist using Yelp!

      If you go at the right time then they have a lunch set special from 11am-5pm if you get tonkotsu ramen of your choosing then

      Set A for $4 you choose two ramen toppings: half serving of either soft boiled egg, nori (seaweed), kikurage (cloud ear mushroom), Karashi takana (pickled veg) and gyoza is the combo we got

      Their classic tonkotsu ramen is so good. It's just a really good instant noodle in my opinion, Japan's ichiran is way better but this comes close with the tonkatsu pork broth it's quite comforting and so good to drink all the soup and eat a hot bowl of noodle soup, it's so good.
