Hokkaido Ramen Santouka Back Bay

I ordered the ramen combo, shio ramen 3 yakumi and aji tama. The shio ramen is always delicious, especially with a sprinkle of spicy sesame oil, the pork on top melts in your mouth. This branch is small, very small place.

Some of the best ramen you'll find in Boston or possibly in the United States. Small place, but it's rather nice when getting away from the cold for a hot bowl of ramen.

Very good masumen and ramen!

Ramen is absolutely AMAZING!! Very flavor full and filling with lots of options. The place was much smaller than expected and because of the popularity there is usually a line around lunch and dinner time. So it does get pretty crowded but I think it is worth it for the amazing food. Vegetarian options: Clearly labeled the vegetarian dishes. I am not vegetation myself But it seemed they had some good options!

heads up for people who keep kosher or halal - they have one (1) vegetarian option, and everything else is pork (no chicken beef or fish protein options). smelled good inside but i had to leave for lack of options

Very crowded and the wait is extremely long. Ramen was great, but the place is a bit too small. Reservations should be accepted for party of 1 otherwise people would need to wait for hours.

Wait Time: 30 minutes for Sunday lunch. Ordered: -Tonkotsu Kara Miso Ramen + Egg: Delicious umami broth with a little kick. I got the regular, which was a good size but I think I would’ve been satisfied with the small size. The taste is very similar to what you’d get in Japan! Vibe: very small restaurant that seats probably only 14 people. Expect to wait outside in a line. Would I return?: yes!!
