Hokkaido Ramen Santouka Torrance

I came during the early dinner time (around 5 pm) on a Tuesday, so the line was really short, about 2 people ahead of me. I came on a Saturday before, and the line was super long, maybe about a dozen people. I always ordered the same thing when I visit Santouka: #83 aka D combo - medium miso ramen & char siu bowl. The broth is creamy and delicious, not too salty, not too watered down. This is as good as any fast food ramen you can get. The marinated egg and noodles had good consistency. The roasted pork in the ramen can be a hit or a miss, sometimes it's nice and soft, sometimes it's chewy and a little tough. The char siu rice bowl has a good marinate, although the topping can be a bit fatty. Service was quick. I waited maybe for about 10 minutes before my beeper notified me to pick up the food. FYI, the beeper doesn't work if you wait outside at the outdoor patio. The cashier warned me about it.

Kept coming back here for years. Best Ramen in town.
