Here in Vancouver, we have some of the finest ramen shops outside of Japan. Some places have such authentic food that it feels you're in Osaka or Tokyo. If you are obsessed with noodles, then you need to check out these spots where you can try the best ramen in Vancouver. There is no better way to warm up on a cold and drizzly day than with a steaming bowl of ramen. The massive bowl of flavour-packed broth and noodles will help you feel toasty even if it's pouring and cold outside. Each region of Japan has its style of ramen that you need to discover. For example, there are four basic types of broth: shouyu (soy sauce), shio (salt), tonkotsu (pork bone) and miso (fermented soybean). Most restaurants offer these four basic types, but you'll often find plenty of unique variations of not only the broth but toppings too. You'll see everything from candied bacon to cheese in a ramen dish. Another reason to love ramen is it is super cheap. You can often enjoy a mountain of food for under $15. It is time to grab your chopsticks and enjoy some tasty noodles. With so many ramen spots in town, it might be a challenge to keep track of them all. Here are 11 places to go if you can't get enough noodles: Motomachi Shokudo Price: 💸 Cuisine: Japanese Address: 740 Denman St., Vancouver, BC Why You Need To Go: Try their flavour-packed bamboo charcoal dark miso ramen. View this post on Instagram Sliding some NOODs to your feed! 😉 over the weekend I have tried another ramen spot @motomachi_shokudo on Denman street (aka the hub for ramen🍜). . In the picture is their deluxe ramen in Bamboo Charcoal Dark Miso with Chasiu ☻ lots of meat and vegetables on top to balance the macros 😁 . If you could handle spicy, I would recommend adding their home made spicy sauce 🌶 which not only add heat, but also add a whole depth of flavour 🤤 . Vegetarian options also available 💕 .

View this post on Instagram 📍Marutama Ramen. @marutama_canada Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ . . One of our favourite ramen places in downtown. This is only our second time trying it but it’s definitely one of the top ones we had in a Van. They use a special chicken broth rather than pork bone broth for their soup. Also their thin noodles soaks in the flavour of the soup. We like how their soup is not heavy like some other places. Their chasiu is also quite soft and we love the touch of seaweed they added. Would come here way more often if it wasn’t in downtown 😅 . . - 🐼🍽🐼 #pandafoodiecouple #ramen A post shared by Peter & Annie🐼❤️🐼YVR/SF Foodie (@pandafoodiecouple) on Dec 7, 2018 at 9:14pm PST Menu Taishoken Ramen Price: 💸 Cuisine: Japanese Address: 515 Abbott St., Vancouver, BC Why You Need To Go: In addition to delicious ramen, they also sell tsukemen, which is a dish where you dunk the noodles into a bowl of hot broth.
