Hokkaido Santouka Ramen - Santa Cruz

I can say that it is not so Japanese, its just normal. The food is fine, everything is average, not exemplary. But still worth a try. I will still prefer Ryuma.

Bon restaurant japonais , Sushi et ramen excellent , service correcte, specialité japonaise , beaucoup de place , bien placé , service rapide .

Santouka is our go-to place for comfort food! We dine here almost every week or two. Ramen is always consistent in taste. Staff are always friendly and accommodating. Price is average. Less than 400 per person. Try their Salmon Salad and Karamiso Ramen! You won't be disappointed!

Craved for ramen so tried their Shio Ramen meal with grilled salmon. The serving was good enough for one person with complete meal of rice, ramen, tea and dessert. The ramen was indeed good and the broth was creamy. Attendants were fast but look tired. The couch has a smell and the underneath of the table where we seated was dirty, there was a even a used fork, not sure how long its been there.

It was my first time to go to Solenad 2, Nuvali in Sta. Rosa. It was a birthday lunch. It was not that hard to find, it's near the playground and the big heart. It is also located amidst the pet stores - which I find weird because if one is very particular of the smell, you can smell the scent of dogs. Dog smell and food don't mix too well.We were seated at a booth area, the cushion is quite firm and not too low for the table. It was comfortable, but the management must review the seats regularly for wear and tear. Each side can sit up to 3 persons but not ideal because some need elbow space.I ordered their best seller Ramen. I think it is called Shiyo or Shoyu Ramen. It was close to P500 including service charge which is not cheap. It was tasty. A hearty meal for the cold weather, it was raining and the weather was cool. They serve house tea as well. Serving time is under 15 mins which is not bad considering that the restaurant was full.
