Started by a Japanese chef who eventually made his way to Vancouver. This restaurant was the start to the ramen craze in Vancouver and has set the bar high. It is the reason why our love for this noodle soup runs so deep. With this landmark restaurant being in operation for over a decade, the city now has its own ramen district with many other top quality competitors within short walking distance. Kintaro has done so well that a few stores down is Motomachi Shokuda, which is owned by the same person, but has a few more adventurous types of ramen available.
