What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Satori Ramen Bar is praised for its authentic Japanese flavors and efficient, friendly service, particularly within the lively North Market setting. While many rave about dishes like the Kara Kapow! and Paitan Chicken, some diners found certain broths to be bland or overly oily, with one noting inconsistent chashu preparation.
"If you’re vegan & visiting C-Bus, this is the best spot I’ve found for quality healthy food on a budget!! Staff were magnanimous in their service & friendliness. Vibes are off the charts; gratitude for a great experience! Will definitely be back next time I’m in the area ✌️
P.S. check out the Tofu! Everything was so good 🥹"

"Staff was very friendly and the food was fresh. Thank you!
I got chashu Don since I wasn't feeling soup and it was perfectly crispy, seasoned, and the rice was fresh. I would have preferred more pickled ginger but I just like ginger. I'll remember to ask for extra next time!"

"My very honest opinion is that this ramen is the most bland I’ve ever tasted and I couldn’t eat it all. I enjoy ramen a lot but this was not the right place to go for me. I went through the reviews and I saw the Paitan Chicken was good so I gave it a try, but it lacked flavor for sure! Even if you don’t add soy sauce etc. to it, the broth should already have some flavor. I would’ve went back to let them know but I had a time limit plus there were too many people standing around the area. Other than that the service was good and atmosphere of that area is okay. It’s placed near the entrance/exit so expect there to be people in the way and cutting through you and others."
