Review Summary

Reviewers describe Iku Ramen as a warm, cozy spot with cat-themed decor where generous portions and comforting bowls stand out. Ramen varieties such as spicy miso, black garlic, and shoyu with grilled chicken are praised for rich, flavorful broths and chewy noodles, while a few bowls like tonkotsu are noted as less rich or a touch bland. The atmosphere is repeatedly called friendly and inviting, with quick, attentive service and small, thoughtful touches like mochi and friendly staff that make the experience feel welcoming. Side dishes and desserts, including karaage, edamame, and matcha tiramisu, are highlighted as tasty complements that add variety to meals. Some caveats mention the small size of the venue, occasional heat in the dining area, and a preference for more pronounced umami in certain broths, but overall Iku Ramen is viewed as an affordable, dependable ramen destination with a standout cat theme and consistently solid flavors.

I've ordered takeout from this place a few times, & I'm never disappointed. I highly recommend the Tonkotsu.

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!

This'hole-in-the-wall' ramen spot is a hidden gem in the city. The service was super attentive & friendly. We also loved the cat-themed décor, & since it was Halloween, there was a cup filled with complimentary sweets on each table. It is the little touches like this that make the experience more enjoyable.

We ordered the Uchiha & Tonkatsu ramen. The chashu was tender & the garnishes were generous. Our only critique is that the tonkotsu broth was a little bland for our taste - we personally prefer a richer, more umami flavor. But overall, the ramen was great value for the price.

Vraiment une cute place pour un bon ramen chaud! J'ai pris celui à l'ail noir & mon amie tonkotsu c'était vraiment délicieux!

Quel plaisir de manger un ramen à la fois simple, relativement bon marché & délicieux. Notre deuxième visite en quelques mois. Cette seconde tentative a surpassé la première. Tonkotsu bouillon crémeux, oeuf parfaitement cuit, chashu généreux. Le service est très agréable. L'ambiance est apaisante. Je pense que nous allons devenir des habitués. Merci

Came here with a friend & had a good enough time. I ordered the tonkotsu & we shared the takoyaki. The ramen was good, I liked everything about it, except the broth which I thought lacked flavor. Restaurant was awkwardly quiet & everyone can hear everyone else's conversation. Overall, it was a sold ramen but unfortunately many other better places in Montreal. Personally, won't be coming back here but that's not to say that this place wasn't good.
