Yuzu Shokutei Review

I wanted to try another place but it's not open so I had to pick another place. Good thing I had Yuzu Shokutei on my to try list. It's located in downtown Vancouver. Somewhat far from Vancouver City Centre. If you don't like walking take the bus (#5?) down there. I was fine with the walk there and back. It's always better with a friend.

The place was not big not small. It's interesting how they provide buckets for us to put our bags in. I guess because the floor is dirty and they don't want our bags to get dirty? I would never put my bag on the floor anyways. We went there around 5pm so not too much people.

Service, it was good. There were these Asian people that didn't speak English I think and the girl was speaking to them in Mandarin and explaining things to them. The waitress/waiter were very nice.

I got the paitan sea salt and my friend got the paitan soy sauce (both $12 each). The presentation looked nice, like most ramen place. Both looked the same. I can actually see the ramen at this place, most places cover the ramen completely. I also like how they use a pretty bowl, some people might think it look old style but I like it.

I thought their ramen tasted pretty good, at least better than the one I tried in Richmond. This one had more taste to it. The bamboo had a soy sauce taste to it, I think they soaked it in soy sauce? The ginger was a bit different from what I usually eat, it had a salty taste to it, I wish it was more sour/spicy like normal ones that comes with sushi. The egg was good, not too cooked or runny, the flavour was good. The noodle was ok, I kind of prefer a little bit more texture/chewy. The soup was ok thickness, not too thick but still sticks to the noodle and gives the noodle a good flavour. Their soup tasted like it had egg yolk in it, not sure if it's from the egg? Not bad.

I would come back again but it depends if I feel like walking that far next time. I do want to try their dessert.
