Reviews portray Sansotei Ramen as a cozy, welcoming spot with a wide ramen lineup and solid to excellent broth that many say rivals Japan, especially tonkotsu varieties; noodles are often described as chewy and the toppings generous, with miso, tonkotsu noir, and shoyu iterations getting praise while a few bowls are flagged for being overly salty or having undercooked noodles. Sides like gyoza and fried chicken receive strong compliments. Service is generally friendly and attentive, though a number of comments note busy weekends or opening day rushes leading to slower service or understaffing and occasional miscommunication about orders or discounts. The atmosphere tends to be described as modern, clean, and comfortable, with good value and occasional standout deals, and several readers say they would return, often citing the Royalmount location and consistent quality across visits.
This location features a pleasant layout & a calm ambiance. The Shoyu ramen was satisfactory, but the Tonkotsu Black lacked the necessary umami depth. Service was friendly, but the staff stayed behind the counter, requiring me to approach the counter whenever I needed something.

taste just like the ramen I had in japan after climbing to the top of Mount fuji wearing nothing but sandals although I'm sure the ramen I had then at the very mountain top was nothing short of just average it tasted spectacular after the long arduous hike up & I often recall it as my very best ramen experience ever & yet this is the memory I remember when I visit sansotei royalmount & order their classic tonkotsu ramen
On a manger un tonkotsu ramen noir, je cherche encore le goût de l'ail, je ne sais pas si c'est par le gout trop prononcer du bouillon ou une huile pas assez parfumé a l'ail.
Le porc n'est pas assez tendre, il ne doit sans doute pas être mijoter assez longtemps. Il est censé être bien fondant en bouche & ce couper facilement avec les dents, le gras n'est pas fondant & donne une texture désagréable en bouche.
& les oeufs n'ont pas de goût, j'adore les oeufs mariné des ramens mais ceux ci n'avais que le gout du bouillon. Cest mariné 24 a 48H normalement pour avoir du gout.
On adore les ramens avec ma femme mais nous ne reviendront pas a cette adresse, il y a de meilleurs ramen a des prix équivalent.
Stopped by the new Sansotei Ramen at Royalmount today for their grand opening! Since they were offering 50% off all ramen, the place was packed & the vibe was very high-energy, though the space itself is a bit small & felt quite crowded.
?We ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen & the Black Tonkotsu Ramen. Both were excellent-the broth was rich & flavorful, easily the highlight of the meal. Because of the opening day rush, the service was definitely on the slower side & it took a while for our bowls to arrive. However, the quality of the food made up for the wait.
?Once things settle down after the opening craze, this will be a fantastic spot. We'll definitely be back for that broth!
Arrived at 10:10AM, 50 minutes ahead of opening hour to queue, did a quick count & there were 34 people ahead. At 10:30, i did another count, my brother & i were #41 & 42. In the last half hour, we saw more & more people join the queue in front of us. When the waitress came out to take our names, we were no longer in the first 50 (we were #51 & 52). Found it quite unfair for people who actually arrived early & lined up. Staffs should have handed the free vouchers as soon as people arrived & make people who come joined their friends pay instead (unless the queue was still under 50).
After finding out we werent in the first 50, our consolation was that our meals would at least be 50% off. We already waited this far & Ive tried other branches before & liked it, so we agreed. We ordered miso black & tomato, but got tonkotsu black & tomato. Didnt notice until later in the meal. My brother still enjoyed his tonkotsu black. It was his first time at a sansotei. I ordered thin noodles for my tomato ramen, the noodles were undercooked, still starchy & clumsy at spots. My brother also agreed on that. Broth wise, they werent as good as what ive had before at other locations. Didnt feel as hearty as other branches :/ Happy my brother enjoyed, but hope it improves ...

This place is a total comfort-food win. The tonkotsu ramen is rich, creamy, & deeply flavorful, with a broth that clearly took time & care to perfect. Every sip feels warm & satisfying. The fried chicken is just as impressive. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, & perfectly seasoned. Together, they make a dangerously good combo. If you're craving authentic, well-executed ramen with standout sides, this spot is a must-try.
We ordered the Tonkotsu noir (19$+tax), Shoyu (17$+tax), Yuzu cheesecake (5$+tax) & Gyoza (6$+tax). We chose the thick noodles. The ramens were good but not exceptional. I tasted the ginger in the Shoyu broth with was nice. The slice of cheesecake was small but was good & the dumplings were ok.
