Craving something savory and satisfying. The tonkotsu ramen hit the spot. The broth was rich without being too heavy, and seared chashu added a nice depth of flavor.

I rarely write negative reviews, but this place was such a disappointment that I have to speak up. The Japanese food here is completely inauthentic. The Beef Don rice was stale, with hard, uncooked grains that tasted like it had been sitting out for hours. The chicken cutlet was absurdly paper-thin — we literally laughed out loud when it arrived at the table. It looked more like a sad potato chip than a proper katsu. The portions are ridiculously small, especially for the price. The entire meal felt like it was meant for a child, not an adult. For what they charge, you’d expect a satisfying, filling dish, but we left still hungry and seriously regretting our decision. Save your money and go somewhere else if you want real Japanese food. Very disappointing experience.

Everything came out hot and delicious. The broth & egg was cooked perfectly.

A hidden gem on Rue Clark. The atmosphere is cozy and the food is top-tier. I love that the gyoza are house-made, and the bowls of tonkotsu ramen are generous enough to share

I’m still thinking about the seared chashu in my ramen. It had that perfect smoky char. The server was super friendly and checked on us just the right amount.

This is my go-to spot for ramen. The broth is consistently silky and rich. I usually get the beef donburi on the side—the beef is so tender.

Came for dinner on a quiet night, food was very good, tonkatsu ramen was delicious all around and the egg was superb. Beef Danburi was tasty. Shrimp tempura and edamame were expectedly good. The chicken gyoza was only average

I usually come for the ramen, but tonight I tried the Machiya ramen and was blown away. It’s spicy, hearty, and fresh.

Listed as one of the best ramens in Montreal and it deserves the name. The flavour of the broth and all the compliments were exquisite. The place is kinda small and you'd need to stay in line depending on the time of day. But it's worth it. I promise you.

Perfect dinner spot. The gyoza were crispy on the bottom and juicy inside, and the tonkotsu ramen bowls are massive.

Yummy tonkotsu ramen. The broth is so rich and creamy, you can tell it’s been simmering for hours. It’s the ultimate comfort food.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the tonkotsu ramen. We put a lot of time into slowly simmering the broth to achieve that rich and creamy flavor, so it means a lot that you can taste the difference. So glad it brought you that comforting feeling—we hope to welcome you back again soon!

Their lunch combo is an amazing deal. Tonkotsu broth was rich and creamy, and noodles had the perfect chewiness.

Ramen here was exceptional. The broth was incredible. It's prepared for 6 hours I was told. Noodles were nice and firm. I had the tonkotsu. I'd definitely would come back and recommend to anyone.

For how good the food is, there really isn’t enough people in the restaurant. When we walked up to the restaurant we noticed it was empty and was a bit skeptical, but after tasting the food I regret having any doubts about the place. The service is great, food is outstanding and it has a cozy atmosphere.

Good ramen! Excellent broth. I would have preferred thin white noodles. And unfortunately, there was no karaage on the menu, which I usually order with a bowl of ramen.

Tried the machiya signature ramen. It had seafood and the broth was very flavorful and spicy. The noodles were chewy and quite nice. The portion is pretty small and I was still a bit hungry after.

I ordered the lunch special with chicken wings. The chicken wing was cold/frozen on the inside. It ruined my appetite for the whole meal; the ramen was mid. I felt bad for the male waiter because he was taking orders and cooking, so I ended up waiting additional time for service.

We sincerely apologize for your disappointing experience. There is absolutely no excuse for a chicken wing being cold on the inside. Food quality and safety are extremely important to us, and we take your feedback very seriously. We will review our kitchen procedures immediately to ensure this does not happen again. We’re also sorry that the ramen did not meet your expectations. We truly appreciate honest feedback, as it helps us improve. Regarding the service, thank you for your understanding toward our staff member. As a small shop, there are times when one team member needs to handle both cooking and front service, which can sometimes cause delays. However, that should never compromise food quality or your overall experience. We genuinely appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we hope you might give us another opportunity to provide you with a much better experience next time.

Got Uber Eats pick up, went there got my order, didn't feel very well at that moment, then I asked the staff if I could sit there to eat, she said yes. Suddenly there was a woman came out and yelled said no, you can't eat here. There was nobody in the restaurant at that time. She kicked me out. I just wanted to sit and eat little bit till my stomach getting better then leave. That woman was so rude. Won't go back there again, not recommend!

We’re truly sorry that you left feeling upset. That was never our intention. To clarify the situation, this order was placed through the Uber Eats platform under a Buy-One-Get-One promotion, which is specifically offered for takeout only. When the order was picked up, there was no mention of feeling unwell. Instead, we were asked to allow dine-in after receiving the takeout order. We politely explained that, in fairness to our dine-in guests, orders placed through third-party delivery promotions cannot be converted to dine-in. Our pricing and promotions are structured differently for dine-in and delivery platforms, and we do our best to treat all guests consistently and fairly. After we explained our policy, the interaction unfortunately became tense. However, we would like to clarify that if a guest had informed us that they were feeling unwell and simply needed a moment to sit and rest, we absolutely would have allowed them to sit and recover. That said, the food itself would still need to remain as takeout. We always aim to treat every customer with respect and kindness, and we regret that this experience did not feel that way to you. We wish you all the best.
