Excellente adresse pour les amateurs de ramen ! Les plats sont délicieux & de très grande qualité, probablement parmi les meilleurs de Montréal selon moi. Le restaurant est propre, le personnel est sympathique & professionnel, le service est rapide & les prix sont très corrects pour la qualité offerte. Une expérience toujours excellente que je recommande sans hésiter !

We had a great time at this restaurant! We were in Montreal for the weekend for the first time & were guided to this place, & we're really glad we came.

The atmosphere was very friendly & welcoming, the food was high quality, & the service was wonderful. A special mention to the young woman who took care of us - she was extremely kind & pleasant.

I highly recommend this restaurant !!

Me & my bestie came here for the Umeshu (Japanese Plum Wine), but it was delish! Atmosphere was packed on Wednesday, Dec 17, 2025, so better RSVP in advanced. Food was fresh & fragrant but I loved the Chestnut Tiramisu. It's about 10-20$ per food ordered, so I highly recommend coming here on a date, wedding celebration, or with friends. For food, it's best to share unless you're here for the ramen. Our order took a long time so the waitress offered us her own special shots drink, not pictured. (I ordered the cold takowasa, karaage, edamame, & tiramisu of the month which was chestnut. My friend ordered takoyaki & mochi doughnuts).

Excited to eat here but disappointing. I'd recommend skipping this restaurant. I've lived in Japan & eaten tons of ramen. My wife is Japanese. This is not authentic or what you want if you are looking for anything authentic. Not sure how they got a Michelin Star rating or why people would wait 30-45mins to eat here. Service was not so great. Food overpriced. Server asked us to wait in the basement near the bathrooms until a table was ready??? Should have left at that point. We ordered karaage which was the best part of our meal. It was well done but normal quality you find at any Japanese restaurant. However it was brought to our table with no plates. Had to request them. Server barely came to our table. Ramen was no where near the quality of real Japanese ramen. Chashu was diced which is weird & broth was not delicious or salty enough. Thin noodles were too thin & thick normal noodles you usually get for most ramen. Teriyaki was yummy but not salty enough. Overall disappointed with our eating experience here. Check came out to $85 which we thought was crazy high for the level of service & quality of ramen.

This spot is always packed except for super late at night. They do not take reservations for the ramen side of the restaurant, so I recommend getting there earlier than you'd want to eat. Put your name in & go a block over to a bar & have a drink & play cards/watch a game before being called in as it can take anywhere from 30-90 minutes for a table to be ready. The environment & staff are wonderful. Watching the kitchen work is like watching an orchestra perform; it is an act of art. The food is great, though I'd recommend their appetizers more than their ramen. Personally, I found the ramen to lack flavor, but the broth was wonderful. The fried chicken appetizer is to die for. Definitely experiment with your ramen bowl as the ordering process is designed for your own creation. I'd recommend getting thick & not thin noodles as I believe choosing thin added to my negative bias towards my meal.

Great isakaya to go & share food with friends! The resto was packed! The waitress recommended top dishes to share & we ordered 8 for 4 people. Was perfect, not overly full! The buns were big with juicy meat, squid, carbonara udon, tuna tataki, salmon, beef slices...

Nous avons soupé dans la nouvelle salle du haut , moins jolie que celle du bas , mais la cuisine ne démérite pas.
Service de notre serveur Zachary impeccable & nous a trouvé des solutions face a trop de noirceur dans notre coin de salle
Tartare de pétoncles à couper le souffle mais poulet karaage très gras
Malgré tout : excellent resto à recommande

We had such a great experience at Ichigo on Friday night! The service, the drinks & the food were all fantastic. Every dish was incredible, but our particular favourites were the Yakisoba noodles & the Yuzu tuna. Definitely recommend for a great Izakaya spot in Montreal.

I loved the black cod & the drinks were superb. Every single dish we had tasted soo good I forgot to take pictures ! Even though the tables are really close together & it can get noisy, the service was delightful & the staff was really attentive.
I absolutely recommend, just make sure to make a reservation !

The menu is quite extensive, but it is a lot of hit or miss. The takoyaki was very good, but the octopus tartare was way too heavy on the wasabi.

The portions were disappointing for the price, & we left hungry despite ordering the recommended 2-3 plates per person.

The service suffered some hiccups but people were overall very friendly.

Lorsque vous réservez a cet endroit vous appartenez à une sous classe ou votre choix de menu est limité aux tapas. Comme nous sommes arrivés très tôt & qu'il semblait y avoir de la place pour les ramen, nous avons demandé à être changé de « section » ce qui a été refusé.
Il y avait quelque chose de frustrant à voir nos voisins de table avoir droit à la soupe & pas nous.
La serveuse était limite désagréable & incompétente. Sous sa recommandation, nous avons pris 3 plats par personne ce qui était beaucoup trop malgré que nous sommes de bons mangeurs. Elle a oublié de nous servir nos verres.
Bref, le mauvais service était probablement une malchance mais le concept de menus différents est douteux & ne peux mener qu'à une frustration. Comme je n'ai pas l'intention de retourner & n'ayant pu profiter des Ramen à cet endroit je continue de penser que le Neo Tokyo est le meilleur restaurant de Ramen en ville!

Amazing service! The food was spectacular. I took my mom to Montreal for her first time & this was our last meal. Also her first izakaya. They treated her with such kindness & she was so happy. I was in Japan for a few weeks not long ago & this is quality here. Busy, & it's no wonder why. Ten/ten recommend.
