Taishoken Ramen - Vancouver

Still have yet to find a better ramen place than Taishoken on Abbot. Easily the best Tsukemen in the city.

Vegetarian option is good. Service is fast. Place is always busy

Best Ramen I've had. And a great price. Always fresh and a nice variety of ingredients.

3.8. The soup ramen at Taishoken is nothing to write home about. However, the dipping ramen is awesome! Make sure to order if you have never tried it before. The broth is thick with tons of flavour (both spicy and non spicy), and the noodles are chewy and bouncy. The pork and egg are excellent as well. We also ordered the gyoza, decent but tastes like Hon's gyozas. We would come back for the dipping ramen only. Prices are comparable to other ramen shops, and service is good.

Taishoken should be synonymous with tsukemen! After two years since our last visit, we decided to return for another round of dip ramen. We ordered two tsukemen in original and spicy, warm, and mixed with lean and fatty chashu. The ramen noodles were perfectly cooked, though the spicy version could’ve been a bit spicier. Unfortunately, service was not up to par with the food even though it was not at all busy. Waving somebody down to take our order, grab the bill, etc. was a bit of a struggle. Mixed feelings since our original visit, but the tsukemen is one to try as a summer alternative to a hot soupy bowl of ramen!
