Me and my wife are always looking for good ramen to try. She is from Japan so we tend to get a craving every now and then. We came across this place and it’s quite good. I really enjoyed the garlic spicy ramen as well as the chashu.
On a cold rainy Vancouver day, ramen does hit the spot. Missed the lunch crowd and had a bowl of the spicy garlic miso ramen without having to wait in line. Kintaro is always consistent and delicious. A tad salty, but egg and pork was done perfectly.
One of the original ramen joints in Vancouver. Kintaro has been around for a while and has always been associated to being the answer to decent ramen in town.The ramen is pretty decent. Big portions. However, their broth has been inconsistent – one day it was just perfect (flavorful and rich but not too salty or oily), the other day would be super salty. The noodles have great texture and we love the meat. Service is pretty quick – it does sometimes feel like you are being rushed to finish and leave, but we can appreciate this since the establishment has limited seating. There is usually a line out the front – the turnover is quick, you usually do not have to wait too long.
Not the greatest ramyun Ive had but this place was still probably one of the top in Vancouver. The service was great, the noodles were great, the broth was a little too oily but still good. Over all I enjoyed this place, will visit again.
Had dinner here with a friend as I was curious to try another ramen spot. Not a whole lot to say honestly. Hole-in-the-wall joint that serves nice, big bowls of good quality ramen & a few side dishes. I liked how you could get different densities of broth + lean/fatty meat. Nothing outstanding, very much middle-of-the-road is the final call here (which isn’t a bad thing). Service was prompt, polite & very friendly. Lastly, I got to give a for their spicy broth which had some surprisingly good kick! 3.75/5 for Kintaro Ramen.P.S. They do have a rewards program.
Had been wanting to visit this place for a while. We got the cheese ramen and the spicy garlic ramen. Both the ramens were just average. The broth was nothing memorable. The spicy ramen was not spicy. The cheese ramen was also just meh. We dont like too many beans sprouts and this ramen was just full of bean sprouts. You couldn’t even tell the texture of the noodles cuz every bite was over powered by the bean sprouts. May be we should have asked them to not put the bean sprouts. The egg yolk was more towards hard boiled side and the marination had not penetrated.It might satisfy your ramen craving but it is definitely not the best ramen out there. Not even the best in West End, let alone vancouver. foodiemuggles.com
Huge portions of ramen with options for the richness of broth and fatness of chashu. You can see them making everything in front of you as the kitchen is open. I think their miso ramen is the best thing on the menu, it’s very rich and salty, although too much bean sprout for my taste. It’s one of the older ramen establishments around Vancouver so it’s definitely a classic.
