Overall I had a great experience at IKU Ramen overall 4.5/5
So I work in the area & decided to try Iku Ramen on a rainy Monday cause it felt like that kind of day.
Walk inside not a giant place but warm with nice aesthetic touches. I thought the glass was frosted for privacy but it was just steam fogging it up but hey a win is a win .
Sit anywhere you want, & they have an interested layout where the inside is shaped like the letter m, with private bar seatings on the outside & a few dining tables inside .
Host very friendly, attentiveand helpful with the menu & options. Menu itself is simple & pretty short , just 1 double sided sheet which had plenty of options.
I like a bit of spice so was recommend the Tan Tan & grabbed some imperial rolls cause, fat is a choice not an accident, that's called commitment.
The order was brought very quickly which is great when ur on a tight window for lunch. Imperial rolls were just fine but the ramen was excellent, visually & taste wise. Well seasoned porc, spciy but still tasty & well balanced broth to content ratio.
No notes & I'll be back.
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!
Superb service, the food was delectable too. Would suggest to anybody who's a ramen fan !
Food's incredible, atmosphere is amazing, service is exemplary, prices are attractive!
What's else to say? I'll definitely come back!
I've ordered takeout from this place a few times, & I'm never disappointed. I highly recommend the Tonkotsu.
I'm not a big fan of ramen & I can tell you that I did finish my order. It's a very cozy place to go.
food was okay, nothing special but when i got up to pay, the cashier/waitress guilt tripped me into tipping (when i skipped no tip BECAUSE IM A 15 YEAR OLD WHO DOESNT HAVE A JOB/ GETS NO ALLOWANCE, therefore i couldn't spent too much money because the whole order was already $30) So when she saw that skipped the tip, she asked if i wasn't satisfied with the service which made me panic & give a 15% tip. So thanks a lot. Should've said no to her face. Also ramen is not amazing, there's better restaurants out there that's worth your money
Excellente découverte sur Wellington à Verdun ! Chez Iku Ramen, tout est réuni pour passer un super moment : les ramen sont vraiment savoureux, avec un bouillon riche & réconfortant, & les nouilles udon sont tout aussi excellentes (texture parfaite, bien généreuses).
Gros coup de coeur aussi pour les mochis, délicieux & très bien faits: une super touche sucrée pour finir.
Le tout avec un service sympathique & convivial, on se sent bien accueilli dès l'arrivée. Je recommande sans hésiter !
It's the best ramen in Montreal on my modest opinion. I love friendly atmosphere in this place. Recommend to everybody!
Bon & pas trop cher. J'ai toujours un bon service rapide & en français. C'est un de mes endroits préférés pot commander sur l'heure du dîner.
Le restaurant est plutôt étroit pour ceux qui souhaitent manger sur place, mais il est convivial.
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!
Très bonnes ramens de quartier .. cest petit comme place mais cest ce qui donne l'ambiance.. le personnel est super sympathique
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.
Un restaurant très chaleureux au mignon décor japonais. La serveuse est particulièrement sympathique ! & je me suis vraiment régalée !
Petit restaurant avec peu de places assises. La nourriture y est vraiment délicieuse, leurs bouillons sont vraiment goûteux. Je conseille les ramen Black Garlic, c'est rempli de saveurs!
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.
Delicious ramen! Went for a late dinner with some friends & good thing because it's a small place with only 3 tables & 2 high top tables facing the windows.
The quality & quantity is the best here. The black garlic ramen was filing, flavourful, & tasty. We also got the karaage & edamame to share. Really good. I especially liked that the edamame was salted & warm & the karaage was crispy & fresh. Our server was also super nice & attentive.
The cafe is also decorated with all things cat! Very cute.
