What JohnJJeepers likes about Benkei Ramen:
Delicious. Large portions. $11.50. Ask for the chili oil/paste and fresh garlic! You can add as much as you desire. The entree comes fast. Every time I’ve ate here at lunch the ramen always always comes piping hot temperature wise. Very good prices for the quality and taste of the food. Will definitely be back in October 2019 when I’ve flown down to Vancouver. View all feedback. What Walter M doesn't like about Benkei Ramen:
This restaurant is run by an idiot. She was extremely rude to us. Perhaps they don't want white people in their place. She was surly. I will never return to this place again because i don't like being treated badly. Do NOT waste your time and money at this phony excuse for a ramen restaurant! View all feedback.

Love the akaoni deluxe! My experience with the food have been good thus far. I've saved up enough stamps for a free bowl!

Very ordinary broth, cold and dry pork slices, tasteless gyoza. Very ordinary. Not worth a return trip.

Benkei Ramen in Vancouver offers a cozy and welcoming atmosphere with fast service and delicious food options. The Curry Ramen is a standout dish, featuring bold and well-balanced flavors that come together perfectly. The Shoyu Ramen is good, especially the broth. The vegan options are a welcome addition for those with dietary restrictions. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and there are rotating specials to try. While some reviewers feel that the ramen could be improved, overall, Benkei Ramen is a solid choice for a satisfying meal in Vancouver.
