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.
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.
