Maruhachi Ra-men Westend

“they offer tamari-based broth as a gluten-free option and it's genuinely delicious not just an afterthought - rich and satisfying lol”

“seriiously gluten-free noodles have a slightly different texture takes some getting used to compared to regular wheat noodles jsut saying”

“ok but who knew ramen could work for brunch?? thier chashu pork is melt-in-your-mouth tender and the soft-boiled egg was perfectly jammy idk”

“no bottomless drinks option which feels like tehy're leaving money on the table for leisurely weekend meals”

“thee tonkotsu broth here reminds me of how much patience went into my nonna's ragu - hours of slow simmering created this creamy rich base that coats every noodle stradn like velvet smh”

“the chashu pork was way too tough and dry. nothing like the tender melt-in-your-mouth texture its supposed to have”

“spicy miso ramen delivers proper heat that builds with each spoonful - finally found a Vancouver ramen shop that doesn't hold back on the chili”

“real talk even at teh highest spice level could use more kick for serious heat seekers like myself wow”

“finally a ramen place that gets noodle texture right - these have perfect chew, not that mushy garbage you get at most fusion spots”

“the bamboo shoots tasted like they came straight outta a can with zero prep or seasoning”

“best ramen ive had in Vancouver no joke! that broth is liquid gold. noodles have perfect chew. soft egg splits open like sunshine. this is comfort food DREAMS”

“waited forty minutes for a table even tho i saw empty seats at the bar the whole time”

“who knew ramen could be brunch?? their soft-boiled egg is absolutely perfect - jammy yolk that mixes with the rich broth to make the ultimate comfort meal at 1pm saturday jsut saying”

“but the space is cramped and communal SEATING means youre basically eating in strangers laps. not really the relaxed brunch vibe i wanted”
