A Hokkaido ramen shop at Richmond’s Aberdeen Centre is closing on November 29, and it’s going out with 2-for-1 bowls.
Ramen Taka, also known as Ramen Takanotsume, shared the news on Instagram.
“As we prepare to say goodbye after 8 wonderful years, we want to thank everyone who has supported us along the way,” the team wrote.
The Richmond shop opened in late April 2019.
Ramen Taka is a ramen chain from Hokkaido, Japan, with shops in Asahikawa and Sapporo.
Its first location outside Japan opened on Bidwell Street in Vancouver’s West End in March 2018, and that spot shut down in 2020.
Aberdeen Centre became its second Metro Vancouver home, and the one that kept going.
The broth is made from pork bones, vegetables and dried fish, created by founder Hideki Sasaki, and the noodles are made without eggs.
The final menu still runs from clear tonkotsu Original Ramen and creamy Paitan to a Spicy Miso with adjustable heat and a vegan miso bowl.
The big one is the Chashu Lover, which comes with six slices of chashu and a marinated egg.
There’s even a Kid’s Ramen, a half-size bowl that comes with fries, juice and a toy.
Bowls start at $15.95.
Until the last day, the team is offering buy one ramen, get one free.
The deal is ramen only, with side orders not included, and it’s dine-in only with both bowls on the same bill.
It’s the latest change at Aberdeen Centre this year.
Chef Hung, Garaku and LUCA all closed at the mall in 2026, while Pho Net Viet just opened in the old Hazukido Cafe+ unit in October.
What moves into the ramen shop’s unit next hasn’t been announced.
If you want one more bowl, bring a friend before November 29 and split the bill in your favour.
Ramen Taka joins other recent Richmond closures like Kumo Sukiyaki, Once More and Sing Cafe.
