I guess high expectations can do that. I did like the portion size though, it's bigger than the other places. Just like you, I liked the ramen, but wasn’t wowed.

Momotachi Shokudo is next in the list! Ah, the "joy" of working in Downtown/West End Vancouver... Hi shokutsu, I was seated on the first stool/chair at the counter. What you see to the left is a fan they had there to "cool" down the cooks a little bit. However, after taking a couple of pics, they (politely, I must say) asked me not to take pictures of them in action. On an unrelated note, I am all for noodles regardless of the season. I know it will make you sweaty but, c'mon, people still eat curry and drink tea no matter if it is summer or winter! Hi ET, yup, that’s part of the fun! Momotachi Shokudo is next in the list!

Were you sitting there at the counter, or did you snap this when walking in/waiting in line? I need to get to Kintaro again, its been a long time and I need to confirm my thoughts on their ramen offering. With the weather getting cooler, its becoming ramen season - I dislike eating it in summer. Nice shot of the kitchen area.
