I had a great food experience here! There are no reservations so when you arrive you add your name to the list and get a text in about 25 minutes when your table is ready. I ordered vegetable toppings and added chicken for $4, which was totally worth it. The portion was generous, the flavors were delicious, and the sides especially the pickled radish were excellent. The only downside was sitting near the door, where it felt a bit cold and cramped. Still, the ramen was amazing and the service was very attentive. Highly recommend!

Delicious Ramen! One of the best I've had. Took one star off because the service was slow- took about 45 minutes for the ramen to be served, and it wasn't served hot enough, one of the sides I ordered for the soup (fried garlic ) arrived half way through eating the dish.

After trying many ramen restaurant in the city, I can say this is hands down the best ramen in Montreal, like ridiculously good. The tonkotsu is my personal favorite, but they’re honestly all so incredible. It’s definitely a MUST in Mtl.

Tried veggie broth, add more shiitake mushrooms. Enough portion, fresh and delicious ingredients, and reasonable price. Seats are not comfortable for long stays, but to have your friends, fancy or casual, small chat and have great meals, it’s a fantastic place in a beautiful area. Have reservations if possible.

You can enjoy authentic and simple tonkotsu ramen. It has a very rich taste and a taste that makes you feel Japan. The amount is not large, so it is small for men, but it is just the right amount for women. And for the Japanese, you'll scream, because $30 for a bowl of ramen (including tips) is crazy. This is because in Japan, you can eat ramen with this taste for $7 or $9 I wouldn't recommend it to Japanese tourists, but I would recommend it to people from other countries.

Thank you for your honest and thoughtful review. We’re glad you enjoyed our authentic tonkotsu ramen and felt a taste of Japan. We understand your comments about portion size and pricing, ramen in Japan is indeed much more affordable, and costs here are quite different. We truly appreciate your feedback and your recommendation to guests from other countries. We hope to welcome you again!

They changed the pork, where before it was baked then torched to perfection, karaage was improved upon with the addition of a vinager garlic scallion sauce, and soup extra thick.

I live far from this restaurent, but when I do go downtown, I always go there at least twice a year with friends and family since 2021. Tonight I've been very disapointed with the ending of my night, the waitress asked how was the service and the food and it was great as usual, she started to get upset and bash towards me and my friend, because we did not leave a tip. The other customers started to look at all of us like we were bad people. Tip is optional not forced. I would like if you could contact me or send me your detail information so I can talk more about it, I've never been so uncomfortable. The 1 star review was not because of the bad food, but the end experience.

Hello Maxime, We are sorry about the unpleasant experience. The waitress should not have spoken to you in like that. But it's important that you understand the situation. You mentioned that you come downtown for years then it's important that you know the tax system. While the tips are "optional", Revenue Quebec WILL tax the waitress/bar tender/busboy 8% of your bill even if you left nothing. Therefore, the entire wait staff will actually have to take money out of their pocket to pay Revenu Quebec their taxes in order to serve you. I hope this clears up your understanding of the situation and Qc tax system. I hope this clears things up.

Fantastic food, fantastic service and great people serving you. Bathrooms were clean and it wasnt too loud in there (despite the cooks doing everything right in front of you). You can tell they know exactly what theyre doing and is clear thereis no unhealthy tampering with the food. My only complaint is that the resto area is too small so they can only accept a fine amount of eaters. I suggest going there before 4 if it’s a weekday and before 1 if its a weekend (or guarantee yourself waiting on the stairs OR outside if its too full. All in all, howevr, it was a great experience!

We had pork and sesame broth thick noodles Ramen. Chicken and pork. Sesame broth was too heavy for me. The soup was colder than expected. Spicy chicken entree was good. Rice with pork entree was tasty. The place was packed on Sunday at 2. We waited for 20 minutes for a table. 4 stars overall.
