Kazo Ramen is widely praised for its excellent bowls and its cozy compact setting that makes a sit down feel special. The menu offers creamy tonkotsu and other broth varieties such as yuzu and spicy paitan, along with crowd favorites like gyoza, karaage and okonomiyaki, all served with a quick and friendly touch. Reviewers note flavorful broths, well textured noodles, and well balanced toppings, with many calling it one of the best ramen spots in Montreal and worth a visit for ramen lovers. The decor, especially anime posters and a welcoming vibe, adds to the overall experience. While the space is small and can get crowded during peak hours, the prices are fair and the service is consistently friendly, making Kazo Ramen a reliable go to for a comforting meal. Some opinions hint at variations in authenticity and occasional inconsistency across dishes, but the overall tone is enthusiastic and eager to return for favorites like the tonkotsu or the yuzu ramen.
Was excited to try out this place because I am on the hunt for the best ramen spot in mtl but this is clearly not the winner.
No review talked about this but the noodles are plain instant noodles which ruined the whole experience. Maybe they gave us instant noodles because we were taking it to go? But that is simply wrong as we are paying the same price. The broth was tasty tho.
The okonomiyaki was just disappointing. Where is the cabbage? It was just a pancake with mayo drizzled onto it.
The food was very good & the service was excellent. The portion was very fair for the price & I love that they package the broth separately for takeout orders so nothing gets soggy on your way home.
The only complaint we had was that most of the pork was cut incorrectly (with the grain instead of against the grain) which made it impossible to chew & therefore completely inedible. A few small pieces were properly cut so we could tell that it would've been much more enjoyable If it were properly cut.

Came across this place on a cold rainy day & decided to give this place a try. Had the creamy tonkatsu ramen & it was amazing. Perfect level of savouriness of the broth. Chill vibe. Nice staff. 10/10 Definitely coming back for more.
Tried the Yuzu & the Spicy Paitan - they were both pretty mediocre in terms of kinda bland broth, not fresh noodles (over cooked texture??), very few toppings. A bummer because the reviews are so good, but this is far from the best ramen around.
TL;DR good, better than typical Kinton, flavorful not too salty, noodles good texture. Parking sucks.
Saw the high rating, decided to try it out. Tried various items & they are all better than your typical Kinton ramen.
The karaage was juicy & not extremely salty, fairly crispy. The dipping sauce was a tiny bit to the sour side. Pork creamy tonkotsu, the kids loved it.
Pork spicy Paitan, very flavorful, not salty, they give you a fairly thick piece of pork belly, nicely charred up. But if you are into spicy food like me, consider asking them to make it extra spicy, because mine was like a 1 out of 10 on my spicy scale.
Could use a little bit more noodles & the broth temperature wasn't high enough.
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.
