Kintaro Ramen, Ramen restaurant at Denman and Robson, Vancouver, Canada.
Kintaro Ramen is a ramen restaurant located at the corner of Denman and Robson in Vancouver with a traditional Japanese setup. The dining space features wooden counters surrounding an open kitchen, where cooks prepare bowls of noodles served in simmering broths throughout the day.
The restaurant opened in 1999 as one of the first places to bring traditional Japanese ramen to Vancouver's dining scene. Its arrival helped establish ramen as a regular option in local dining culture and paved the way for many similar restaurants to follow.
The name references a legendary figure from Japanese folklore and mythology. Visitors experience authentic Japanese dining culture here, where sharing meals and savoring noodle soup form the heart of what brings people together.
Visitors can customize their broth strength and choose between different meat cuts to suit their taste preferences. The restaurant has limited counter seating, so it can get crowded during peak hours with waits expected at busy times.
The signature broth combines twelve different spices with regional Japanese miso paste varieties to create a layered flavor profile. This blend is difficult to replicate and gives the taste experience a distinctive quality that regular visitors come to recognize.
