I have never had a bad experience at any Sansotei location, & this location is no different. Food was tasty, vibes were good, & our server was very kind. Service was a little slow for a Thursday but we were in no rush!

Flavourful dishes at a very reasonable price. I loved how simple the menu is, yet still gives you some options to customize. Perfect portion sizes, not insanely huge but more than enough to fill you up without appetizers. We tried the yuzu IPA & it was extremely worth it. Service was impeccable, they served our beers in ice cold glasses that were poured at the table, & waiters frequently checked up on us to see if we needed anything, even while both the inside & the outside terasse were pretty busy.

An exceptional product clearly prepared with pride & quality.

The Tonkotsu pork is the best that I have experienced. Slow cooked, lightly seared, tender & bursting with flavour.

Service was friendly. Beverage options include local Japanese-style beer. Several sake choices are offered.

The ramen ingredients were well balanced & tasty. Noodles seemed fresh & had great consistency.

The bar bench at the front window offered pleasant people-watching on a busy Sunday.

Bilingual service.

Experience culinaire hors du commun! L'espace d'un bol de ramen, mes papilles gustatives m'ont transporté directement en asie. Un voyage qui en vaut le detour. De plus, l'hospitalité reçue lors de notre repas était impeccable. Merci Sansotei Ramen , je reviendrai certainement…

That beef & onion rice bowl was a total win after the Padres game tonight. The food is great, but let's be honest, I am definitely the best thing you will see in this place all evening. Any cute guy here should come say hello & find out for himself.

El ramen es muy bueno y es una porcion bastante gerosa, pedi un extra de fideos y casi no termino el plato por lo bien servido.
El sabor es bastante rico, solo recomiendo ponerle sal o soya, asi como pedir un extra de picante, sin embargo ese es gusto personal.
El calpico estaba rico igual.
