Kazo Ramen is widely regarded as a standout destination in Montreal, frequently praised for its rich, flavourful broths, authentic atmosphere, and welcoming service. Many patrons appreciate the cozy, anime-themed decor and the unique variety of ramen options, such as the Yuzu and Spicy Tantan, which offer a refreshing departure from standard menu items. While the majority of visitors describe their experience as exceptional and highlight the quality of the food, a small number of guests expressed concerns regarding inconsistent noodle quality, pork preparation, or specific side dishes like the okonomiyaki. Despite the restaurant being small and occasionally requiring a wait during peak hours, it remains a highly recommended spot for those seeking a comforting and memorable bowl of ramen in a chill, hole-in-the-wall setting.
Very cool location! Anime art & decor everywhere. Food was out of this world! Hands down one of the best bowls of ramen in a long time. Gyoza was great too! Staff friendly & approachable.
Love that the vegetarian options are flavourful, & I got to try corn croquette for the first time! The anime posters prove that the owners are passionate about Japanese culture.
Such a quaint little place with a uniquely Japanese atmosphere, manga & anime on the walls, it just feels right. Also, the food! Wow! Best ramen I've ever had, also added pork to the dish & omg, best decision ever! Make sure you do that! The pork is so well seasoned & juicy & delicious!!! Definitely a must stop if you want that wonderful, comforting ramen.

Kazo Ramen is such a cute place! The ambiance filled your favorites anime posters is just so welcoming, the staff is super sweet, the food was served up very quickly & the service was 👌. The food itself has everything you look for in some perfect ramen. It ticks off all the boxes for me ; I highly recommend!
Tiny restaurant with delicious ramen. I tried the spicy paitan ramen with pork. The broth was very rich & flavorful & the noodles were well cooked. The donburi & the creamy tonkotsu ramen were also pretty good.
The place is very small with just a few tables, but the vibe is fun with a lot of anime stuff on the wall.
This ramen restaurant advertised itself as a "Japanese ramen restaurant," so as a Japanese couple, we were really looking forward to visiting. However, we were surprised to find that the taste was quite different from authentic Japanese ramen. If I were to think of it as a different type of noodle dish, it was enjoyable, but it was a bit disappointing to imagine people perceiving this as Japanese ramen. We ordered tonkotsu ramen & shoyu ramen. The first bite of the shoyu ramen immediately stood out because the soy sauce flavor was completely different-it seemed to use a more fragrant soy sauce, possibly Chinese-style. It was a unique taste I've never experienced before in my life. The pork topping on the ramen looked very crispy, thick, & appetizing, but the flavor was dominated by salt, pepper, & oil, which made it difficult for us to finish even though there were only two slices of chashu. The soup also had a noticeable oily layer on the surface, & we found it to be overly greasy. Instead of the rich tonkotsu flavor we know & love, the soup had more of a sesame-like aroma than tonkotsu depth. Overall, we probably won't return to this restaurant. My wife, who absolutely loves ramen, left some behind for the first time ever, which really surprised me. For those looking for authentic Japanese ramen here in Montreal, I'd recommend trying other places. If you're open to trying an Asian-inspired noodle dish with adjusted flavors, this might still be worth a visit. We've only tried two ramen bowls, so perhaps exploring their donburi or other side dishes could lead to a different experience. *On a note unrelated to the ramen, the Japanese anime merchandise, posters, & decorations inside the restaurant were very eye-catching. As an anime fan, I was initially drawn to the store because of them. However, upon closer inspection, I realized that many of the posters & decorations seemed to be printed images sourced from the internet rather than actual merchandise. Of course, I can't confirm whether these are official goods or not-this is just my personal impression-but it was a little disappointing. That said, there were a lot of figures on display, & I did enjoy looking at those.
Une belle place si vous aimez les animes & les bons ramens ! Ils ont un bon choix d'entrée & de ramens. Tout est super bon ! La déco est vraiment sympa. Le service également. Super bien placé. Je recommande sans hésitation !
