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 !

Les meilleurs ramens 👌

I'd like to start by answering the main question: is this restaurant worth the hype? Unfortunately, no.

We showed up around 7:40pm on a Saturday night & only got a table at 9:15pm. Thankfully, they have a system where you can check in & get a text when your table is ready, but the fact that they don't take reservations is already a bit of a deal breaker for me.

The decor is great & really gives you the feeling of being in Japan. The atmosphere is lively & energetic rather than intimate. Service-wise, the staff was friendly & welcoming, although they clear plates extremely quickly, which makes the whole experience feel rushed. The restaurant is quite large, but tables are packed closely together, so if you're looking for something more intimate, this isn't the right place.

Food-wise, we tried the Takoyaki, which seems to be popular. It was tasty, but you're supposed to get octopus inside & we found only a tiny piece. We also got the Karaage chicken which, to my taste, felt like basic breaded chicken-nothing special.

As for the ramen, the broth was delicious & there were plenty of noodles. However, 20 minutes after placing our order, we were told they had run out of eggs & that our ramen would be eggless. Honestly, that was a big disappointment. The ramen itself was good, but not incredible-& definitely not worth the long wait.

When we got the bill, the eggs weren't removed from the price. I'm not going to fight over $1, but it's a matter of respect & honesty toward customers.

One last thing worth mentioning: going out to restaurants has gotten incredibly expensive lately, so I was pleasantly surprised that we could enjoy drinks & a full meal at a reasonable price. That was definitely a nice touch.

Worst service ever. Meal took 3+ hours & staff were unresponsive.

Came here for the hype & wasn't disappointed. We went on a Friday night & yes the wait is real (1 hour). Service was great.
We sat upstairs & it started out somewhat calm/casual music but it got really loud quick once filled up. Only 1 bathroom stall for entire upstairs.
Food wise, I'd avoid the karaage as tasted bland. Takoyaki & ramen was delish. Get the ravioli add-on. The $7 pumpkin pudding was worth it.

Craving for udon! I got a carbonara udon which is served with bacon, soft-boiled egg & cheese. It's not too creamy or heavy, just perfect to balance with salty bacon. I would need more udon to finish the sauce 🤤 This restaurant shares the area with Yokato Yokabai ramen. So 2 menus will be offered. Come early to have a seat or they also have a good system to book on a tablet & notify you once your table is ready.

Stumbled upon this place on our Montreal trip & the Ramen was delicious!!! ♥? amazing staff. There was a bit of a wait but they let us hang out upstairs so we don't have to wait in the cold. Cocktails were yummy as well.

Been to Japan for comparison. This restaurant got overhyped with long waiting time for what it is.

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).
