There's nothing like slurping down a steaming bowl of ramen on a cold, rainy day, which in Vancouver, is every other day. If you're thinking of grabbing a bite, here are some shops to check out.

• Jinya Ramen Bar

  While Jinya may not offer as traditional a menu selection as some of the other ramen shops in the city, they certainly still deliver in the flavour department, especially if you're a garlic lover.

• Marutama Ramen

  If chicken soup is the cure to any ailment, then a bowl of Marutama's slow cooked, delicious chicken-based ramen will leave you warm and satisfied, while serving as an adventure for your taste buds.

• Motomachi Shokudo

  Perhaps you have heard of Motomachi Shokudo's famous bamboo charcoal, miso ramen? Many avid foodies will claim that the single menu item alone should warrant a visit to this popular noodle joint.

• Hokkaido Ramen Santouka

  By Vancouver Is Awesome

  Santouka Ramen is renowned for their rich, tonkotsu (pork) broth, which is slow cooked to perfection. In fact, the shop is rarely seen without a line-up out the door.

• Hida Takayama

  Don't be fooled by the fact that Hida Takayama is tucked away within the Robson Square Market food court. In fact, this is probably the only ramen shop in the city that makes their noodles in-house.

• Kintaro Ramen

  No ramen list would be complete without Kintaro. Positively an institution as far as Vancouver ramen is concerned, this is one cozy joint that's all about the food.
