iku Ramen

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.

It was around 18$ for a bowl of ramen, which is an acceptable price considering the portion served. The service here is absolutely incredible. The waiter was incredibly friendly throughout the whole meal & was really thoughtful. He was giving stickers & candies to the children & even thinking ahead for the customers that were sitting at a harder spot to serve. Most surprisingly, he was holding the door for the customers which was lovely. The food itself was decent. While I enjoyed the nice clear & flavourful soup, I feel like it wasn't thick or flavourful enough to adequately complement the noodles. The noodles were also a bit too soft for my liking, I usually prefer the noodles with a bit more elasticity. The toppings were great though! I quite enjoyed their marinated eggs that were bursting in flavours & their grilled chicken that was prepared in such a different fashion than other restaurants. The chicken was sliced into smaller pieces prior to grilling which made the enjoyable crunchy texture more spread out & the chicken was also tender inside which was great. While I absolutely loved the interior design that was cat themed, I feel like the atmosphere wasn't as enjoyable as it could have been because we were suffocating a bit from the heat since the restaurant did not have AC.

A perfect hole in the wall that will transport your tastebuds to Asia!

They have a great variety of ramen bowls, sides & toppings. Service is super friendly & attentive!

You'll be hard pressed to try & find another Ramen shop with such attention to flavour & presentation as Iku Ramen.

Highly recommend!

A quiet but delectable spot with great ramen. A small store on Wellington that is perfect for a table of 2. It has a great choice of ramen bowls that are served hot & delicious.

I am a japanese ramen fan, I will do anything to try out all of them in Montreal! This place being located on the busy wellington street, this cute small place where I found a lot of tiny small cat figures ( very cute actually) you will have to street park We ordered the tonkatsu ramen & the black garlic ramen. the noodles were not soggy, they tasted more like handmade noodles to me just perfect the way i like them to be. the ingredients inside were generously given, the pork, judas ears mushrooms, the marinated eggs(so delicious) but a little too many corns though? maybe for those who love corns they wouldn't mind as for the broth i think it could be a little better, it was a little blend not much flavor. i wished to be more thicker? But we still enjoyed our bowl & left happy Will i still go back? yes for sure i would love to try their other bowls Thank you for the waiter who was kind enough to clean the mess on our table, good service!
