Dans l'ensemble, les avis mettent en avant IKU Ramen pour ses bouillons savoureux, ses portions généreuses et une ambiance cosy avec un décor sur le thème des chats. Les variétés de ramen, telles que miso, miso épicé, shoyu au poulet, ail noir et tonkotsu, sont décrites comme savoureuses et bien équilibrées, avec des bouillons riches et des garnitures tendres. Le service est souvent qualifié de chaleureux, attentif et rapide, tandis que la décoration et l'espace intime avec des motifs de chats ajoutent au charme, même si certains visiteurs trouvent l'emplacement restreint ou souffrent de chaleur. Beaucoup de critiques soulignent le bon rapport qualité-prix et la fiabilité des bols réconfortants, tandis qu'une minorité signale parfois des bouillons manquant un peu de profondeur ou un goût umami plus marqué.
Très bon ramen, j'ai connu y'a 2 ans peu de temps après l'ouverture alors que visitait une amie resident à Verdun. Je viens d'y retourner, partant de Villeray parce j'avais souvenir que c'était très bon. & généreux comme portion.
& ça l'est autant sinon plus qu'à mon souvenir.
En plus l'ambiance est encore plus sympathique & cute avec toutes ces images & figurines de chats dispersées ci & là dans le restaurant.
Tout pour dire que je recommande que vous soyez du quartier ou non. 😍
Very pleasant experience ☺?
Nice place, all decorated with cats topics!
Good service, explain the options, zero waiting!
The food: sooo delicious & tasty, as expected! Good quality of ingredients.
Very nice place 👌
Absolutely BOMB
Me & my friend had the Shoyu with chicken instead of pork & it was genuinely the most amazing ramen I've had. The eggs were delicious & the chicken was so savoury, the broth had me nutting & everything else about the dish was genuinely orgasmic. We had mochi's for dessert & we loved them.
The interior was so cute! We were geeking out over the little cat figurines (some had a pair if balls & we found that amusing)
Service was good too! There was only one person, not sure if he was the owner or not, but he was super nice & friendly!!
10/10, will be returning. There's gotta be crack in the food.
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.
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!
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 !
