Sansotei Ramen Cityplace - Toronto

This was my first visit to this restaurant, and I found the service and food to be just average. You can get a sense of the quality just by looking at the menu. I ordered the miso black, which was a generous portion, but I found it a bit greasy and lacking in flavor. I'm unsure if I'll return.

What I appreciate most about Sansotei is their consistency with ramen; I've tried almost all of their offerings except for one. While it may not be the best ramen I've ever had, it's still quite delicious. When you're craving it, you know exactly what flavor to expect, and that level of consistency is impressive. I definitely recommend it for anyone in Cityplace. I've rated it 4 stars because, after tax, some ramens are creeping up to the $22 mark, which feels a bit pricey for ramen.

I ordered the regular tonkatsu ramen while my friend chose the tonkatsu black. To our surprise, we both received the tonkatsu black. When I asked if mine was the regular version, they told me it was, which felt like gaslighting. I ended up eating it, and it was overwhelmingly garlicky.

The broth was really salty. We got 2 slices of chashu and maybe half a tablespoon of fungus. We asked for spicy chilli oil and it resembled more of a sesame oil and not spicy chilli oil. Won't be returning. For $15 a bowl, it wasn't worth it.

After 3pm, we 2 people wanted to have a quick bite nearby national ballet of Canada. We found this restaurant with decent reviews and wanted to try it. Tonkatsu ramen was good as we expected. I don't know whether it was off peak hour 1 waiter and1 cook? The service was slower than we normally have at pure ramen restaurant. Otherwise overall was good.
