Ramen Danbo Kitsilano Verified listing

Ramen Danbo in Kitsilano, Vancouver, is a go-to spot for lovers of rich Japanese Tonkotsu ramen. Located at 1833 West 4th Avenue, it’s the first Danbo branch outside Japan and specializes in Fukuoka-style ramen: thin, springy noodles in a deeply savoury pork broth. You can customize many elements of your bowl, including noodle firmness, broth richness, level of spiciness, and amount of lard.

The interior is casual and modest, with small tables and counter seating, making it ideal for solo diners or small groups. Food quality and flavour are frequently praised—especially the broth, chashu pork, and the high level of customization. Due to its popularity, the restaurant often sees queues during peak hours, but the quick service ensures the wait is generally worthwhile.

It’s open daily from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM. Takeout and pickup options are available, and there are also vegan ramen options for those looking for a plant-based alternative. Ramen Danbo remains a top destination for ramen enthusiasts in Vancouver.
