Agree. We always have to get extra noodles for $2 extra

Hibiki is awesome!

of course cause they kill the moldy chicken with sake and salt.

and than load up the teriyaki sauce.

I've been staying away from Shikiji because of the price hikes but after seeing all the Japanese in restaurants start creeping up in price, it didn't seem as bad. I was going to go back and try it out but after reading your post, I don't think I will.

They have Ramen at Wa's too and it's more reasonably priced, but the meat there is questionable as well. You can tell by the taste that it's a few weeks old. Seems like Japanese restaurants really like to cut corners on the meat - I guess it's probably where they can cut the most cost.

lets just say he learned how to make rotten chicken turn into something edible....why do you think they dump teriyaki sauce all over it?

and their soup has whatever they want in it....
like literally

Just curious then... Is this actually your friend that works there, or did your friend hear it from their friend, who heard it from his girlfriend's uncle's cousin's third removed son's father's niece's dog's sibling owner's alien abductor's grand universe ruler?

I eat at Wa's every weekend and the meat has always taste fine to me?

There used to be Cafe Tokyo (?) just off of Edmonton Trail. I'm not sure how authentic/good it was in comparison to other places, but it seemed pretty good.

That used to be my fav place, there was only one cook there, and it was the owner. It was sooo good and, it taste just like eating at a noodle cart in downtown Shinjuku! It's sad that it's now replaced by some random Jpns restaurant, man I miss Cafe Tokyo...

The last couple times I went, the meat had a stale sour taste. I just eat around it, and it's fine.

Ok Shikiji place to avoid haha.

The best thing about Muku's ramen is actually the meat.

All the other place i've been to, shikiji, hibuki, misai, that place in Banff...have very thinly sliced meat, but Muku's is thick and juicy.

Another good place is right beside bubblemania where ice bar used to be. Their spicy ramen is also very good.

Yea, +1 for Muku. Another place that is OK is Shijiki on centre st/16th ave.

Best place... Vancouver at the end of Robson St.

Are you talking about Robson Sushi?

I'm willing to bet he's talking about Kintaro. That is the ultimate ramen place in Canada, period. I will never visit Van without stopping by.

THAT'S the place!!! Kintaro. Extremely small but wow.... their soups = I always get the full fat soup... deadly but so good.

Just had the Miso Ramen at Shijiki. Pretty good portion but not strong enough flavour. One of the better ones in Calgary though.

Yup, that full rich soup is not for the faint of heart boys. Those sparkling white "snowflakes" happening in the bowl is sheer death in disguise... LOL

I think we need a Beyond Ramen Meet... in Vancouver.

Is that next to the Keg and across the street from Earls? I've been to this one place off of Robson that serves nothing but Asian type of noodles (udon, ramen, vietmanese vermacelli, Korean jajamen, thai noodles, wonton noodles).

Not quite. You gotta keep heading west from the place you've mentioned. Till when you're about a few blocks from the waters where all the buildings are a lot lower.

Actually what I had posted above is the actually address, so it should be searchable in any GPS. Well it least in mine, it bookmarked fine. Give it a try, you won't regret it.
