"Who can hold the title for 'Best Ramen' in a city? The Ramen Butcher certainly fights hard for this record. The Tonkotsu classic is where you start and if you fancy new and interesting flavours then 'GREEN' (Fresh Basil Paste and Parmesan Cheese) or 'ORANGE' (Rich Miso Marinated Ground Pork) amongst others could be for you. An array of sides are also on the menu (karaage, gyoza etc). You be the judge." - Post Projects

"GO HERE: for satisfying, nap-inducing ramen with free noodle refills. The Ramen Butcher is upbeat and noisy, with the word RAMEN literally nailed into the wall to remind you what you’ve come for. ORDER THE: orange-miso ramen with pork broth and ground pork and the classic tsukemen cold noodles dipped in a rich pork- and fish-based soup. THE VIBE IS: sardine-can-like. It’s always packed, occupied by 20-somethings who know good ramen and aren’t turned off by waiting 20 minutes for a table. PRACTICAL STUFF: Open every day: Monday to Thursday, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.; and Friday to Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. No reservations. —Lindsay Anderson" - Condé Nast

The ambiance of this ramen shop is indeed satisfying; the decor is comfortable, and the atmosphere is pleasant, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. The service is also excellent; the staff are attentive and friendly, making you feel very welcomed. However, when it comes to the taste of the food, there is still some room for improvement. Firstly, the black garlic ramen broth was a bit bland, and the aroma of the black garlic wasn’t as strong as expected. The broth itself lacked depth and missed that rich flavor that leaves a lasting impression. Perhaps they could consider adding a more robust layer to the broth to give the ramen a more distinctive character. As for the fried chicken while the seasoning was good and the filling was flavorful, it was a bit too greasy. It might help if they drained the oil a bit more after frying to create a cleaner taste without an overly oily sensation. Even so, the overall flavor of the fried chicken was still quite enjoyable, just slightly lacking in texture. Overall, the service and environment here are pleasing, and the dining experience is enjoyable. However, there’s room for improvement in the intricacy and depth of the flavors. If they could make slight adjustments to the broth and reduce the greasiness of some dishes, I believe it would better meet expectations for a perfect bowl of ramen. This is just my personal feedback, and I hope to see this shop continue to improve.

Great ramen spot with friendly and attentive service. The broth was a bit saltier than I prefer and I would have liked the thin noodle to be slightly more al dente. That said, the overall experience was enjoyable, and I’d be happy to return! I have been a few times since they opened but recently went again during their anniversary promo (hence the special menu).

The Ramen Butcher in Chinatown is a classic ramen onlocation in Downtown Vancouver. Their traditional cuisine and their modern takes result in a menu that is exceptional, and a must visit for ramen fans. Recommended.

Friendly and fast service. Black garlic ramen was delish (the broth 🤤) the chestnut ramen was okay. They make their noodles in house and they don’t disappoint. They also have black Sapporo on tap which is a win.

Oily, Yes, too much! taste very good on the first couple bites, but feel way too much fat and oil. the drink also ice water which make it worse, hot tea may be good but not offered. If they reduce the amount of lard and fat oil in the soup, I think it will be better. Service is slow wait 2 orders of ramen takes almost 30 minutes. Ask for water refills, never come. The atmosphere is just decent like others ramen place.

My buddy recommended this place over some of the other ramen joints and the food was absolutely delicious. The broth was really balanced and the portion was excellent. The vibe is super cool and brought this spot to the top of my list.

I ordered the black garlic. Way too oily and the black garlic slightly over power the tonkotsu broth. Is flavorful on the first few slurp, but just got too heavy for me. Friend enjoyed his spicy one. Gyoza was quite tasty.
