Hokkaido Ramen Santouka Harvard Square

"I'm a huge fan of tonkatsu style ramen. Even though I didn't see that on the menu here, both mine and my wifes ramen were rich and creamy, just like tonkatsu. I had the Tantanmen special. It was salty, savory, and spicy - Everything that I wanted in a bowl of ramen, and served incredibly hot. I wish I had one of these back home."

"I had the pleasure of dining at this Japanese ramen restaurant with my friend, and it was an exceptional experience. The ramen was a true delight, with rich and flavorful broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and a generous serving of toppings. i love the extra bamboo. The ambiance of the restaurant added to the overall experience, making it a cozy and inviting place to enjoy a meal. The standout feature for me was the depth of flavors in their ramen. Whether you prefer a rich tonkotsu or a savory shoyu broth, they have options that will satisfy your palate. The quality of the ingredients and the attention to detail in each bowl were evident. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by this ramen gem. It's a culinary experience that shouldn't be missed, and it will leave you craving more.."

"A great place in Cambridge to grab some comfort ramen with some friends! I usually get the shoyu ramen with aji-tama and takoyaki. Dine-in is usually crowded and busy so it might not always fit your vibe. Food is delicious and customizable for your cravings (for an additional cost). Tea is available for purchase, with free refills. Bathrooms are kept clean. Staff are very friendly and check-in a few times during your meal. There is a communal table for 1-3 people, as well as group seating. They don't do reservations in advance, though you can check-in and add your name to the waitlist once you're in the area. The ramen size options are very handy, especially if you don't have a consistent appetite. There are many toppings/add-on options, though they don't provide a lot of the toppings (especially when compared to the additional cost). I definitely recommend adding an egg (aji-tama) topping but would hold off on the others. The broth could be better, as the taste is more subtle. If it wasn't so busy or noisy, I definitely would enjoy spending time trying their tea options! My go-to is the hot matcha genmaicha tea (green tea with rice)."

"The place is quite crowded and noisy. The staff is very polite and attentive. Food-wise, ramen noodles are ok, but not great. The broths I tried were varied - tan tan was pretty good, but the vegetarian one was definitely too bland and lacked richness. Additions were quite limited - they used to have really nice half-boiled egg, but now I only got a hard boiled one. Over all, an ok place to eat, but there are.better ramen shops in the neighborhood."
