Late Night Kintaro, Santouka

There's always a line time but it goes by pretty quick. We waited about 20 minutes before we got seated for two people. We knew immediately what we wanted to order. We were in and out of the restaurants in 40 minutes. Reuben enjoyed the classic SHIO RAMEN ($7.95) with a side of learn pork. 

Ladies love the CHEESE RAMEN ($9.95). This meal definitely hit the spot especially if your craving something rich and heavy. This was the perfect type of comfort food that Vancouverite love to eat on a cold wet night. Kintaro is my all time favourite. 

SANTOUKA 

Top: Miso ramen ($9.95)- Soybean paste
This was a rich and flavourful broth. The portion was smaller than Kintaro which is okay with me because it was the perfect amount for my satisfaction.

Chef Hung at Aberdeen Mall

A perfect rainy day to enjoy noodle in soup.  Its hard to make a decision of where to eat in Richmond, but in this case it helps that this is one of the few restaurants that takes cards in Richmond.  Most of the food court upstairs is cash only, and we couldn't find a nearby ATM.

Menu had plenty of bubble tea, full leaf tea, shaved ice from Frappe, many side dish options. The restaurant has locations in Canada, US, Taiwan and China.  This one was located on the second floor of the Aberdeen Centre Mall, near Dinesty.

 Beef Brisket with 5 kind of vegetables noodles in soup. $8.45

- not enough veggies

- half the portions of meats

- broth was bland, but did exhibit mild sweetness

Braised Beef Shank noodle in soup $8.45

- beef was awesome full of flavour and tender

Summary:

+ Loved the texture of the chewy noodles

+ Good Service - Server was timely refilling tea 

+ Not cash only!

- Smaller portions that most noodle in soup places with higher price

- can get busy = line ups
