Across reviews, Kazo Ramen is described as a cozy, welcoming spot with consistently flavorful bowls, especially the creamy tonkotsu and the spicy paitan, plus a balanced broth and tender chashu. Service is repeatedly praised as fast and friendly, and the atmosphere is often noted as warm or cozy and inviting. Favorites like takoyaki, karaage and various ramens draw strong praise, with several diners calling it the best ramen in Lasalle or Montreal and a reliable go to for frequent visits. Value and quick service are common positives, though a few posts mention smaller portions, some menu items sold out, and occasional issues such as unclean toilets or decor choices like AI inspired decor that some felt dampened the mood. Overall, Kazo Ramen comes across as a highly regarded ramen destination with broad appeal and repeat visits, despite a small number of caveats.
If I could give 4.5/5 stars I would, but I cannot.
For full transparency, I have been here 3-4 times. & I am writing this review as there is a special where I get free Takoyaki (my favorite) if I write an honest review. They made it clear that I did not need to write a good review, & so these are my honest thoughts.
I got two main dishes in order to give a more well-rounded review. I got Creamy Tonkotsu ramen, Karaage Don, & Takoyaki. The ramen was tasty as always. Good flavor, the pork was tender enough to melt in my mouth. Loved it.
Karaage Don. The fried chicken was good. Simple, had sauce to enhance taste, but I had a problem with the rice. The taste was fine, but it wasn't anything special, & wasn't sticky enough for me to eat with my chopsticks. That being said, I'll point out that I have mediocre chopstick skills.
Finally the side of Takoyaki. I am a fiend for Takoyaki, & I enjoy the Takoyaki here. Nice & creamy octopus balls. Would recommend!

Overall, a very nice experience. I have been coming here for about a year & a half, & it's always been good. On this visit I had Tonkotsu & Takoyaki & both were great. Some quick criticism I had were that the pork in the tonkotsu was a bit too salty & the noodles were lacking some salt. However, aside from this, the meal was really delicious.
I came here for dinner with my friend during Ramen Festival week to check out some of the specials that Kazo offered. We ordered two sides to share, the Takoyaki & the Karaage, we enjoyed both of them. I had the Vegetarian Ramen, which was delicious with its thicker noodles & its clear broth. My friend had the Creamy Tori Ramen & she really liked it. We appreciated that the favour of the broth was just right & not too salty like some of the other ramen restaurants. Will definitely return for more delicious ramen since the cold season is coming soon. Also, the service was great, our waitress was friendly & attentive.
We hadseveral amazing dining experience at Kazo Ramen. The ramen & takoyaki were absolutely delicious, & the flavors were spot on. The service was amazing - the staff were friendly, attentive, & made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great ramen & top-notch service!
I discovered a nice place for lunch around my work, & wow better than I expected. Their ramen broth are delicious, clear & tasty! I tried their yuzu ramen, you could taste the slight citrus taste I love. If you like slightly spicy I definitely recommend their Tantan pork ramen yum……Pretty generous portion as well. photos tells all :) As for their appetizers, a must-try takoyaki & shrimp dumpling! Their deco/ambiance is very warm & welcoming. The waiters are very kind & helpful. Let me tell you this place has even better ramen than other places I have tried before. The noodles, the broth, the portion, the veggies, nothing to complain My favorite asian place to go in Lasalle!

Creamy pork tonkatsu ramen was delicious. Karaage was crispy & tender, though I would have preferred a better sauce than barely spicy mayo. Takoyaki was good & typical. Ramen broth was not packed properly & leaked everywhere in the bag.
Très bonne soupe ramen! Creamy Tonkotsu, Takoyaki 4 Pieces excellents. Commande à apportez hyper rapide. Juste les épinards moins à mon goût. Ils sont froids & avec la sauce d'arachide, mais plus une question de goût personnel. Je vais commander à nouveau c'est certain !
Cute cozy little restaurant. The atmosphere was mellow & relaxed & the dim lighting gave a lovely ambience that feels like a retreat after a long day. Music was set at just the right volume which permits people to talk normally rather than shout. The Food was quite tasty too! I ordered a side of takoyaki & karaage as well as their shoyu kazo special as a main dish. The takoyaki was really well cooked which gave it a nice crispy edge ; solid 10/10. On the other hand the karaage was also quite tasty but the pieces were cut in very big chunks which made me use my hands to split some pieces in half. Lastly the Ramen I chose truly pleased me. The broth was rich in flavor & the dumplings that came inside were really tasty! Overall though, I found the food here to but just a little bit too salty for my pallet. As far as service goes, luck was probably not of my side. With only 1 waitress having to manage all the uber orders, phone calls & clients... it made me feel a little bit uneasy to ask for anything. That being said, her service was very welcoming & attentive. I will have to come back & try out more of the menu!
