Patrons describe Yokato Yokabai Ramen as a cozy, authentic spot where rich tonkotsu or torikotsu broths meet chewy noodles and generous toppings, with karaage, gyoza and takoyaki seen as standouts. The atmosphere is repeatedly praised for its warm Japanese vibe, though seating is tight and the space can feel cold or noisy when crowded. Service is often friendly and attentive, but pacing and consistency vary with long waits during peak times and some missteps. A virtual waitlist helps manage crowds since reservations are not common. Many call the ramen among the best in Montreal or close to Japan, though a few note price, portion size, or occasional service gaps. The Michelin link is debated, but the overall experience is described as a top ramen destination worth visiting for a comforting, authentic bowl. The main caveats are crowding, temperature hotspots near doors, and premium pricing at peak times.View restaurant profile

Reviews describe Ichigo Ichie Izakaya as a standout Japanese spot with a lively yet intimate vibe where sharing plates and a thoughtful mix of cold dishes, hot plates and noodles really shine. Dishes such as hamachi and Yuzu tuna tataki, various tartares, gindara black cod, carbonara udon, and crispy chicken karaage come up repeatedly as highlights, with desserts like tiramisu and chestnut tiramisu also earning praise. The atmosphere, decor and generally warm, attentive staff are frequently highlighted, and cocktails and mocktails are noted as strong complements to the food. The experience can be bustling and loud, seating can feel tight and the layout can be a bit cramped, especially on busy nights. Reservations are often advised to minimize waits, and there is some discussion about the different pacing or policies between the izakaya area and the ramen area, sometimes causing confusion about ordering certain items with a booking. While prices are described as high, many reviews feel the quality justifies the cost and consider it among Montreal’s top izakayas. Overall the spot is seen as a great choice for dates or gatherings who enjoy bold flavors, a dynamic atmosphere and the option to customize bowls, with the caveat to plan ahead for crowds.View restaurant profile
