Wow, we brought our two young boys for Ramen & the fella serving us couldn't have been more generous & relaxed. A wonderful low key & very accommodating ramen experience that makes me want to come back. The ramen was good too!

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.

Their Shoyu ramen (with grilled chicken) is the best I had all across Montreal. We come back very often & they are always consistently good. They now have a Matcha tiramisu that is flabbergasting. Ridiculously worth every penny everytime we go there.
The best ramen in Montreal!!! Having tasted ramen in Japan, I was struggling to find a good ramen place here because they are all too fatty or salty. Here the ramen is always perfect, the taste is completely balanced & we are never disappointed. Plus, the staff is super friendly & awesome!! I would give 6 stars if I could, highly recommend this place!
First of all, the ramen is amazing here, it never disappoints, the ambiance is also so cute. I love the cat-paw cozies on the spoons. Also they are simply so nice. I went to pick up some soup to-go because I was sick & the person working noticed that I wasn't feeling well & offered me a free mochi ice cream ❤? I was so touched by the gesture - thank you! Love the Ramen!

Probably one of the best ramen places in Montreal. My kid loves ramen, so we checked out most ramen restaurants in town, & this one is one of the best. It is a small restaurant with one person seeming to be both the cook & the server. But the ramen was very good. I recommend the garlic oil option.
Super service, j'ai pri le bol de ramen'Black garlic pour emporter avec un à côté de crevettes Tempura & j'ai reçu ma commande très rapidement. Mon repas étais délicieux & le service était très chaleureux.
Iku Ramen, une pépite pour les amateurs de ramen ! 🍜✨ Ce que j'adore, c'est la possibilité de personnaliser son bol en choisissant le type de nouilles & la garniture. Les portions sont hyper copieuses, les saveurs au rendez-vous, & la présentation soignée. Le service est rapide, & le personnel adorable & très attentionné. Petit détail trop mignon : les baguettes & la cuillère sont présentées dans une petite chaussette en forme de patte de chat 🐾🥰. Une adresse incontournable pour un ramen délicieux
2025-02: service très rapide, employé très courtois, soupe ramen avec bon bouillon, un seul choix de nouilles, belles décorations de chat :-) stationnement payant disponible à côté de la porte. Stationnement avec borne de recharge électrique disponible la rue d'à côté.

Will not be returning due to the use of AI-generated images on their social media. The actual physical location is beautifully designed.
Food is flavourful & filling. It's a bit heavy for my taste & I'm not a huge fan of the tofu texture in the miso ramen, but other than that it's good. I appreciate having a vegetarian ramen option & being able to add toppings. Plus, the korokke are a delight!
