Shibuyatei - Richmond, British Columbia

We read the reviews and were skeptical however the owner is really nice and in the end it is a one man show. Curry katsu was good, along with the ramen. Noodles were authentic and it reminded us of home cooked food. We got the Chicken Kaarage as well, we ... like them a bit crunchy but nevertheless it was still good. Read more

I read the reviews before coming here and understand there is a lot of mixed reviews about the owner but the owner was nice to my partner and I. Very smiley cheerful old man. Larmen and Gyoza set - $21 Gyoza is homemade by the owner. You can really taste the handmade-ness. ... The gyoza is not salty nor overly oily when served. Skin is not too thin and can taste the quality in the meat filling. The noodles were cooked perfectly. The cha-su was a nice thick cut and had some flavor. Curry was pretty good. Not overly salty and the rice was fluffy. Chicken was very tender. 5 pieces total. Honest review is that the food tasted very home-y. Read more

We walked there from our hotel and had good noodle soup and shrimp pot stickers. The owner was very friendly and the service was very fast.

An absolute gem of a restaurant on the outskirts of Richmond. The chef/owner specializes primarily in Ramen (what he calls “Larmen”) and gyoza. His ramen was even featured by the most famous Japanese food reviewer in Japan! Every meal I’ve had has transported me back to Japan. It is clear to ... me that the owner cares deeply about creating quality food. Read more

Most authentic Tokyo style ramen in town. The owner is passionate about his food. The food is authentic and inexpensive which gives a very homemade taste.
