Review Summary

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.

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.

Decided try this place on a cold & rainy evening as we were walking in Mont-Royal. I was surprised by the cute decor! The space is on the smaller side, which makes it very cozy. The food itself is also really good. We tried the Yuzu ramen & the Spicy Paitan Pork ramen. The Yuzu is very light & refreshing, meanwhile the Spicy Paitan is warm & hearty. I would highly recommend both as they are very unique & hard to find in Montreal.

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.
