Reviews / Ratings for Café Noya - First Udon Café in Montreal
Fantastic! You better stop in!
had the beef udon. it’s just service was slow. will come back to try the matcha
Somewhat overpriced udon. The staff, however, was generally friendly and attentive. The restaurant is a bit more ad hoc “fast-food” than I would like. The udon itself was good, with the broth being the highlight.
Went here for lunch and the food was really good!! We love the udon and matcha and service was super fast. Our server Mai was super friendly and attentive! Will come back for sure :)
Really cute spot with delicious and fresh food ! The service is great. Super nice spot, I’ll be back for sure.
Had such a great experience at Café Noya in Montreal. The atmosphere was super cozy, the food was fresh and comforting, and the matcha drinks were amazing. Our female server was also incredibly sweet and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. You can really tell the staff care about creating a welcoming vibe. Definitely a spot I’d come back to whenever I’m in Montreal!
Café Noya was really good. The food was fresh and super tasty, everything came out well made. Great service from the girl today! Chill spot, would definitely come back
My friend and I often go here and we always get an udon and rice bowl. It has consistently been a good meal to get at a decent price after my classes. The girl who served me was incredibly nice. To my surprise, despite being a cafe, they even served the food to my table outside on the terrace.
The food here was pretty good, I really liked my don bowl but there wasn't much protein in it. My wife really liked her udon. Their onigiri was suuuuuper good though, definitely try a couple of those. For dessert we had a pistachio bask cheesecake which was tasty. However we didn't really like the pistachio cream on top so we just removed it haha. Next time we'll have to try one of the other flavors.
Delicious! Had a limited edition bday cake latte
Basically an over priced ramen with no flavour
I got the beef udon soup and it was pretty good objectively, although the flavor didn't really suit my palate. The seating area is well decorated. I think the service could have been warmer. It's a great place to visit if you really like umami flavors and east Asian cuisine!
definitely gets busy right around 12 in the afternoon as a bunch of students come to get lunch or matcha drinks. so we did have to wait a while to order as they also don’t have much staff during that time. the onigiri have a nice texture with the seaweed. I personally loved the miso and mushroom udon, it tasted like a creamy mac and cream.
Ordered the omurice through Skip and was pretty disappointed. What we received was essentially a fried egg placed on top of rice, not the style of omurice shown on their Instagram or what people would expect when ordering omurice. The edges were heavily browned/crispy and the dish looked very different from their promotional videos on Instagram (ie: arethaeats). The beef udon and matcha latte were not as bad; however, clearly lacked flavour. It tasted very watered down. I emailed the restaurant first to ask about it and didn’t receive a response, so unfortunately I’m leaving this review instead.
I can’t say any of the dishes were interesting. We had high hopes for the miso mushroom udon which was recommended but it really did not taste like much other than cream, it was also a very small portion for its price. Spicy chicken don was okay but I wasn’t expecting kimchi in a Japanese dish, I would have gotten something else. Lastly, we had dango and matcha ice cream which were okay.
Nice atmosphere, stopped here on a whim, did not check out reviews prior. The roof was great, both the beef udon and beef don were delicious, not over seasoned or salty like some places. The cocktails were also very good. I would recommend
Very good experience
Very slow service but good food.
I wanted to be the biggest hater when I saw the portion size, but then I took my first bite and omg....BEST UDON I'VE EVER HAD!!!! I ordered the Miso Cream Udon. I still wish the portion was bigger, I could've easily eaten another bowl. The sparkling orange yuzu is also really good.
I had the miso cream with added beef. It was delicious and so flavorful. I ate on the terrace since the weather was so nice, which made the experience even better~
Okay for quick bite, but expect the long waiting hours.
11/10 Veryyyy gooood placeee ❤️
