The menu features bowls like Shoyu with chicken, spicy miso, black garlic, and tonkotsu, all praised for balanced broths, chewy noodles, and generous toppings. Desserts such as mochi and matcha tiramisu are noted as pleasant bonuses. Service is consistently described as friendly and helpful, with moments of exceptional care, though occasional understaffing or crowded times are mentioned.

The service is exquisite. The server was so sweet & caring during our whole meal. He came to refill water. He picked up my scarf cause it had fallen to the ground & placed it on top of an extra chair. He let me have a spring roll & a potato croquet because I wasn't sure which one I wanted. The tofu miso ramen was great, & I'm picky about miso soup. The golden noodles were great. Overall wonderful experience. The food was delicious & the service was amazing. It's a calm atmosphere & the background music is delicate. There's cat decorations everywhere, so cute! & the mochi has ice cream inside!

This place is a hidden gem! The decor was cat themed & super cute. It's a very small, cozy & calm space. The food was very good too. The Uchicha Ramen is very delicious & rich. However, the Tonkotsu lacked richness & depth of flavor. The noodles were bouncy & chewy which was nice. The karaage was also very good though. We would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area!

Stopped by Iku Ramen on a cold, snowy day when all I wanted was a steaming hot bowl of comfort. I went straight for the spicy miso ramen, & it did not disappoint.

The broth was rich & flavourful with the perfect kick, the noodles were perfectly chewy, & every spoonful felt like a warm hug against Montreal's winter.

A special shoutout to the waiter too. He was incredibly friendly & polite, the kind of service that instantly makes a place feel welcoming. He checked in just enough without hovering & genuinely made the whole experience even better.

If you're freezing, hungry, & craving something cozy that actually delivers, Iku Ramen might become your new winter ritual.

It was around 18$ for a bowl of ramen, which is an acceptable price considering the portion served. The service here is absolutely incredible. The waiter was incredibly friendly throughout the whole meal & was really thoughtful. He was giving stickers & candies to the children & even thinking ahead for the customers that were sitting at a harder spot to serve. Most surprisingly, he was holding the door for the customers which was lovely. The food itself was decent. While I enjoyed the nice clear & flavourful soup, I feel like it wasn't thick or flavourful enough to adequately complement the noodles. The noodles were also a bit too soft for my liking, I usually prefer the noodles with a bit more elasticity. The toppings were great though! I quite enjoyed their marinated eggs that were bursting in flavours & their grilled chicken that was prepared in such a different fashion than other restaurants. The chicken was sliced into smaller pieces prior to grilling which made the enjoyable crunchy texture more spread out & the chicken was also tender inside which was great. While I absolutely loved the interior design that was cat themed, I feel like the atmosphere wasn't as enjoyable as it could have been because we were suffocating a bit from the heat since the restaurant did not have AC.

Had an amazing experience at iku ramen! First the food was absolutely amazing i ate every last kernal of corn in my delicious black garlic ramen with golden noodles 🍜 it was a mouthful of deliciousness with every single bite. It might sound like an exaggeration but trust me ... it was that good.

I love ramen soup ... in this place it is outstanding. &! The place is cool with little miniature toy cat figures making cute poses placed around the dining area.

Great place for a date & planning to bring one soon. Follow me @jackbrown9120 on all social media outlets.

I am a japanese ramen fan, I will do anything to try out all of them in Montreal! This place being located on the busy wellington street, this cute small place where I found a lot of tiny small cat figures ( very cute actually) you will have to street park We ordered the tonkatsu ramen & the black garlic ramen. the noodles were not soggy, they tasted more like handmade noodles to me just perfect the way i like them to be. the ingredients inside were generously given, the pork, judas ears mushrooms, the marinated eggs(so delicious) but a little too many corns though? maybe for those who love corns they wouldn't mind as for the broth i think it could be a little better, it was a little blend not much flavor. i wished to be more thicker? But we still enjoyed our bowl & left happy Will i still go back? yes for sure i would love to try their other bowls Thank you for the waiter who was kind enough to clean the mess on our table, good service!

The server was attentive. We set by the windows & found it to be stuffy, there doesn't seem to be any air circulation. There were some spider webs by the AC & window. I ordered Uchiha supposedly quite spicy. It wasn't spicy but overall a decent Ramen. But the tantan that my friend ordered had no flavour at all. The noodles tasted blend.

Ramen noodles were perfectly al dente, chicken broth was flavourful without too much salt (the vegetarian broth could've used a touch more along with spice). Prices were very reasonable.
