Sly_Paragon Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 i've only been to kintaro and would like to try something new ramen just hits the spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haikara Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I find Benkei is affordable and the broth isn't too oily or salty. Yah Yah Ya in Richmond was a good deal too and everything can be customized (soft or hard noodles, meat leanness, broth oiliness, etc). Santouka on Robson was overrated to me.

D-Money Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 If anyone is looking for Ramen in Calgary, a friend of mine opened Shiki Menya. Haven't had the chance to go yet (only open for lunch, and usually a 30+-minute wait), but it's killing it in restaurant reviews. http://www.shikimenya.ca/ http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/john-gilchrist-s-best-new-restaurants-in-calgary-this-year-1.2879808 http://www.avenuecalgary.com/Best-Restaurants/2015/Best-New/Shiki-Menya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offensive Threat Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Since even the most healthy Ramen bowl will have well over the recommended full daily sodium level in it I would recommend not eating it. Ever. If you want to live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its about 4 to 5 times more than normal. This type of mentality is what leads to younger and younger people having heart attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel very sad for you if you think having a bowl of ramen will kill you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel very sad for you if you think having a bowl of ramen will kill you. One bowl of ramen may not kill you or even several for that matter, but it's one of those foods that are too good to be true...I like to call it a "silent killer" Seems healthy while looking at it with its vegetables, noodles, broth, meat, etc.. but it has more salt than approx. 4.5 McDonald's Big Macs.. Not to mention how much fat and what not is incorporated in one bowl. Don't forget people still eat breakfast, lunch, and snacks.. so the total amount of salt would be much higher.. A young person might think it's a healthier option than eating McDonalds when actually it's much worse. Then don't get me started on the controversial MSG (yes I know Mcdonald's uses it too).. Long story short it tastes great, but it's crap in a bowl so to speak.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on Santouka...perhaps it was the 1 hour wait that killed it for me though. I actually prefer Motomachi Shokudo to Kintaro, it's just half a block down.

I just find it weird that with all the other stuff like smog, pollution, drugs and lack of proper excersise just to name a few you'd be afraid of a bowl of noodles. The opening post wasn't about him eating a bowl for every meal. He just wanted to know where to get some good noodles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit of a health nut, but I still like to enjoy a bowl of ramen once every few months - I have to live a little. But drummer makes a good point, ramen is much more toxic than it is perceived to be. It's supposed to be a cheap and convenient meal, but it is served (and charged) like a delicacy in North America.

Haha if it was cheap, we'd have a lot more people eating it so maybe it's a good thing it's relatively expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
