I absolutely love this place the server is so friendly & always greets with a smile. I always get the Tonkotsu with an order of takoyaki. The Tonkotsu is broth is so creamy & delicious I could drink it out of a glass. When I want to treat myself I come here. I'd give it 10 ⭐ if I could!

Tried Iku Ramen after passing by a few times & finally decided to give it a shot.

The interior could use some improvement, but the overall ambiance is still solid enough for a casual meal.

The karaage was a standout. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, & packed with flavor. Definitely one of the highlights.

The takoyaki, on the other hand, was a miss. Slightly overcooked & lacking the softness you'd expect.

Ramen was strong overall. The tonkotsu leaned a bit light on seasoning, could use more salt to bring it to life. The black garlic ramen, though, delivered. Rich, deep, & extremely flavorful. Every bite pulled you back in.

Overall, a solid spot. Budget-friendly, generous portions, & worth coming back to.

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.
