Benkei Ramen is a popular chain of Japanese ramen noodle soup restaurants, with five locations around Vancouver. The company even expanded into Japan! We’ve previously dined at their Kitsilano and Robson locations and thoroughly enjoyed both restaurants, so we thought we’d try Benkei Ramen’s Fairview location, situated in the Crossroads condo development on the corner [...]

Benkei Ramen Robson Review
Benkei Ramen’s Robson location (near Denman) was the second out of the chain’s five restaurants we visited. The restaurant’s decor and layout was virtual identical to its location on West Broadway, in Kitsilano, with a bamboo dividing wall at its entrance and similar warm colour tones throughout. Servers were friendly and promptly seated us upon [...]

Ramen Sanpachi on Broadway (between Balaclava & Trutch) in Kitsilano [...]
Benkei Ramen Kitsilano Review

The wood-toned decor creates a comforting dining experience, especially on cold and dreary days. Nothing beats a hot bowl of soup and warm atmosphere on rainy Vancouver evenings. I ordered [...]

The ramen restaurant company has many locations in Japan, two in Hong Kong, two in Singapore, and even seven in the U.S.A. Their only Canadian location is on Robson Street (corner of Bidwell) in the West End of Vancouver, BC. It’s always quite [...]
