About
Originating in Fukuoka, Japan — the birthplace of tonkotsu ramen — Ramen Danbo is celebrated for its signature milky pork bone broth, springy house-made noodles, and highly customisable bowls. Diners select their preferred noodle firmness, broth richness, and fat level, creating a truly personalised bowl in the Japanese tradition. The Kerrisdale branch joined the growing Danbo family in January 2024, extending the brand's reach into Vancouver's affluent west-side neighbourhood. Vegan ramen options are available upon request, making the restaurant one of the more inclusive ramen spots in the city. With multiple Vancouver metro locations — including Kitsilano, Robson, and Lonsdale — Danbo's consistent quality and Japanese corporate ownership make it a trusted name for authentic tonkotsu.
