Honestly, the best ramens we had in Montreal in a while. Beats and down the ramen chains or the trendy over rated ones! TOKOYAKI: 9/10 Honestly, very light and delicious. They felt homemade and not the refrigerated ones. The sauce was very well balanced too! TAMPOPO RAMEN (limited edition): 10/10 Well, the broth was very light and savoury. Naruto well cooked, good meat, nothing soggy. Didn’t need to add spicy oil or crushed sesame seeds! 👏🏼 Would recommend 100% 💯 !

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolutely incredible ramen experience — a must-visit in Montreal! Ramen Nakamichi absolutely blew us away. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was fantastic, and the hostess was so welcoming, friendly, and thoughtful in recommending the spicy tonkotsu. What a recommendation! We couldn’t have been happier with our choice. The experience was wonderful even before the food arrived. We were seated near a table filled with books about Japan, including one dedicated to the history of ramen, full of fascinating stories and information. It was such a lovely, unexpected touch that made the wait feel like part of the experience itself. You could really feel the thought and passion behind the place. And then came the ramen. We were genuinely stunned by how rich, flavourful, and delicious the broth was. It had that incredible depth that makes you want to savour every single spoonful. The spicy tonkotsu was perfectly balanced, with a wonderful warmth that builds at the back of your throat rather than simply overwhelming your palate. The spice was absolutely spot-on for us! Every ingredient worked beautifully together, from the delicious noodles to the tender meat, the Naruto fish cake, and the nori. Everything came together in a bowl that was comforting, exciting, and seriously memorable. What really makes Nakamichi special, though, is how the entire experience comes together: the warm hospitality, the inviting atmosphere, the little cultural touches, and food that genuinely exceeds expectations. You can tell there’s real care behind what they do, and it makes all the difference. We walked in expecting a good bowl of ramen and left thoroughly impressed. This is the kind of restaurant that reminds you why you love discovering new places in the first place. If you’re in Montreal and love ramen, do yourself a favour and visit Ramen Nakamichi on Saint-Laurent. We’ll absolutely be coming back, and the spicy tonkotsu is an easy recommendation! An enthusiastic five stars, without a moment’s hesitation. Bravo to the entire team!

Came in today towards 12:30 for lunch with my partner. It wasn’t too much of a rush. At the door we were greeted by the server wearing a white shirt, pretty tall, wasian guy. We sit down and we order. Both of our orders came out wrong, (she ordered a premium but it was just regular and i ordered my ramen with eggs and did not receive any) when we tried to tell the server about it, it felt like the server was avoiding us. When we FINALLY caught his attention, it felt like we were inconveniencing him. Didn’t even tell him about my order that went wrong because it felt like I was bothering him to do his job. We received no check up, had to ask a other sweet server for some sauce and to pack up our food. We come to this place once in a while and my experience today was very disappointing. I also work in the service industry and I know we can all have hard days and this is the first time i feel compelled to leave a review because of how bad the service was. I hope that if I come back, I get service by someone else. Ps; is the black sesame ice cream ever going to come back :p?

Went there for the first time. Wanted to eat authentic Japanese ramen and it was exactly that. Had a cold lemon noodle for the first time and it was delicious, flavourful and perfect food for the hot summer day!

It has a relaxing atmosphere restaurant with lots of seats. The service was impeccable and staff is lovely. Went for lunch, you get very good value for a tasty ramen with karaage entrée and a drink. Will return.

We used to frequent this place around two years ago, but the current state of the restaurant makes it seem like it'll shut down any day now. Last order at 8:00pm, and closing at 8:30 on a weekend?? Nothing wrong with the staff personally, as per usual, very friendly. However, the meal itself, and the closing time is not commendable. Last time we came here, we were happily cutting into our eggs, when the yellow part of the egg (the grey part..) plopped out and splooshed into the broth onto our clothes. When we got home we, and especially our kid got a bad case of diarrhea. We also remember a high pitched sound throughout our visit, don't know where that was coming from, but it was very unpleasant. The owner is clearly not taking good care of this restaurant. If you want a ramen in Mile end, just go to tsukuyomi, it's a 3 minute walk from this place.

Very good service. The waitress was very patient with us. I took a noodle soup, and I must admit I really enjoyed those fat noodles made onsite.

I have been to this restaurant several times and I really love it. The quality of ramen is perfect and the taste is authentic and the same taste as ones I had in Japan. I appreciate their professional service.

I got the red Tori-paitan and asked for extra hot. The ramen came lukewarm, the broth was incredibly thick (felt like curry/pasty texture), the egg was cold, and it wasn’t spicy at all. I question their choice of toppings. I read another review from 4 months ago and they mentioned the exact same thing about the Tori-paitan. Overall, not the restaurant for me, but I do hope the business improves.

Like the other reviews said: the spicy chicken broth was room temp, suspiciously thick and greasy, way too salty even though we asked for less salty, not spicy, strange choice of toppings (arugula and red onions, no green onions). Go down the street to Tsukuyomi instead

I always love finding Japanese restaurants which are truly authentic. Always a great sign if the staff speaks Japanese. :) Food was absolutely delicious (and I eat a lot of Ramen) - we had the Karaage and spicy Tonkutsu Ramen, the broth was amazing! Haven't tried other items of their menu yet, will come back!

I myself been to hakata before. Uh The ramen is just 6/10. It just makes me wanting to go back Fukuoka. I wonder if the shop adjusted the taste for white people. Not to mention too salty as well without the deep/complex flavor that it usually comes with. 塩っぱいすぎ. I have no idea why so many restaurants in Montreal differs so much from country of origin. Maybe is the ingredient differences. I brought my Quebecois gf to try tonkotsu ramen in Taiwan before and even she admits the ramen there are better and she clean up the bowl. So this confirm my taste bud isn't the problem. Bonus point to the thick noodle. All the Tonkotsu ramen I had in Fukuoka was made with thick noodle 😋So I really appreciate that one.

Thank you for your candid feedback and for sharing your experiences from Fukuoka and Taiwan. As a team that deeply respects the ramen culture of Hakata, we truly value the perspective of someone who knows the authentic taste. We sincerely apologize that our Tonkotsu broth did not meet your expectations regarding its complexity and that you found it too salty. As you correctly pointed out, recreating the exact depth of flavor in Montreal presents unique challenges, particularly with the differences in local ingredients and water mineral content compared to Japan. However, we are constantly refining our recipe to bridge that gap and stay as true to the soul of ramen as possible. We are, however, glad to hear that you enjoyed our thick noodles! While thin noodles are the standard in Fukuoka, we specifically chose these thick noodles to provide a more satisfying texture that complements our broth, and we appreciate you noticing that detail. Your feedback is a great motivation for us to keep improving. We hope to welcome you and your girlfriend back again so we can provide a bowl that brings you a little closer to the flavors of Fukuoka.
