Benkei Ramen Noodle Shop

The service was slow despite being the only table here at the start of the day. The ramen have great presentation and the noodles were cooked properly. Their broth, however, is only mediocre.the taste lacks depth and boldness.

Tried their special bento box and it doesn’t disappoint! Lots of special little items that look labour intensive

I ate here for my 16th birthday. I grew up in Chilliwack, so this was a really big deal back then. This is one of the best noodle shops and I can't believe I found it again. I'm definitely coming back.

What a hidden jem. A nice little place, so time it right to get a table. There is also a bunch of bar type seating. The staff were very friendly and professional.The service was excellent, super fast. The food was great. Really fresh and tasty. They have vegetarian and vegan selections as well. No matter your preference, you will not be disappointed. Street parking on Broadway is limited, way easier to find a spot on 8th. Even parking under whole foods is easy and a short walk.I definitely recommend you try it.

Best ramen shop I've been to so far! Wonderfully unique flavors, great options for combos, superb deal on extra toppings for a reasonable price, the food is absolutely delicious and super filling! Will definitely go back more often!

Such a long wait but worth it! The bowls are large portions and service is friendly and quick! The seating is very tight due to the wooden benches and small-sized tables. Just wished all the garlic and sesame seasonings are available at every table without having to get the waiter hand it to you when they are stressing out.

I like this place! They provide decent dishes, their menu is rich, The cook in that place is well trained, I love very much tasting all their food. The dishes are always of high class, the attitude towards the customers is helpful. I visit often this restaurant and I was never unhappy. I highly recommend it.

One of my favourite place for reman. Highly recommend the curry rice.

Amazing service got the spicy ramen. Love the egg, soup base, and toppings but I realized I really don't enjoy the noodle it doesn't really gather the delicious broth very well. It's a good value for the amount of noodle you recieve, I could barely finish mine.

Good ramen, not a bad place. Very convenient, not far from the Broadway-City Hall Station.

I like to go with friends to this restaurant with my warmest recommendations. I go their often. I get very good feedback from my friends. The the cooking is appetizing and the stuff is attentive and cooperative. always when we go to this place we pass a splendid time. I warmly recommend this restaurant.

I used to be a regular here but I stopped coming as frequently due to a change in jobs. I came with my friend and we ordered the Akaoni deluxe, miso, and a small beef curry rice. Akaoni Deluxe was delicious and rich with a lot of toppings. However, I've always found their miso to be too salty after the first sip, which still holds true now. I had hoped they would fix it. The beef curry rice isn't bad but the beef can be a little on the rough and chewy side so the texture isn't always the best. The restaurant could use a little more air conditioning. The service has improved though and I really appreciated the effort the manager put in.

I constantly come by grabbing some food here. I enjoy the fast customer service and well cooked dishes. 5 stars from me.

I was pretty excited to try this place as it looks very hype.The prices were okay, since it's downtown.The service however, was disappointing. Though it was very packed, the elderly waitress had an unhappy face the entire time.I immediately didn't feel welcome. When we were ordering our food, a younger waitress came and she was nicer, even with the busy hour.The ramen itself was delicious. However, it proved to be too salty since that entire evening I kept drinking lots and lots of water because I was so thirsty. The sodium in these ramen are definitely too high.

Consistently above-average ramen. Competition is tough in Vancouver but these guys are up there with the top.
