Kotora Ramen

4.0

Relativement nouvelle addition sur l'avenue Mont-Royal, Kotora à pris la place de Umami qui avait fermé en 2025. Évidemment, l'endroit est minuscule en hiver mais double sa capacité en été grâce à la terrasse.

Sur 3 visites, accueil discret & chaleureux à chaque visite. La nourriture est servie rapidement car le Mazemen, un bol d'ingrédients apparenté au ramen mais sans bouillon, s'exécute rapidement, c'est tout son intérêt.

Ingrédients frais, quantité limite pour le prix élevé, tout goûtait bon. On a bien aimé le porc épicé. Le boeuf est à éviter, goût très décevant & quantité trop petite, c'est la plus décevante des options. Par contre, le unagi est de loin le meilleur & celui que je vous recommande.

Sympathique station d'eau en libre-service.

Kotora est une bonne option pour le midi, le service est rapide & si on choisit bien, le Mazemen est un excellent plat nourrissant pour casser la croûte en mi-journée. A peu près $22-$23 juste pour le plat.

Recommandé.

P.S.: si ce review vous a été utile, s'il vous plaît nous laisser un 👍, & merci à l'avance ! 🙏🏼❤?

J'ai essayé les mazemen au porc épicé (nouilles non pas dans le bouillon comme les ramen mais plutôt dans une sauce) C'était délicieux & elles m'ont rappelé celles que j'avais goûté à Tokyo. Je vais revenir pour essayer les autres trucs dans le menu. Tout avait l'air délicieux. Je le recommande sans hésiter.

We recently visited Kotora Ramen, & unfortunately, our experience was disappointing from the moment we arrived.

The restaurant is extremely small, & considering the prices, we expected a much better dining experience. There was no staff member at the entrance to explain where to sit, so we had to figure it out ourselves. The dining area is cramped, with only a few tables packed closely together. Two of the tables are tiny & unstable, barely large enough for two bowls, & they wobble so much that it feels like your food could spill at any moment.

The seating arrangement also wasn't managed well. While we were squeezed as a group of four around a tiny table, a couple occupied a table for four. We had to keep some of our belongings on our laps because there simply wasn't enough room.

The food was another disappointment. We ordered the mazemen, & it tasted far from authentic. The flavors were very average, & for the price, we expected much better quality. We also weren't offered basic condiments like chili oil or vinegar. There was only one container available for everyone in the restaurant, so customers had to pass it around between tables.

Service also seemed disorganized. A couple sitting near us received one person's meal, but the second person's order still hadn't arrived even 30 minutes later. That's not the kind of experience you expect when dining together.

We were a group of four, & our bill came to about $120. Considering the quality of the food, the cramped dining space, & the overall experience, we didn't feel it was good value. Compared to other Japanese restaurants serving mazemen & ramen, this place is overpriced.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend Kotora Ramen. There are many other places that offer better food, better service, & a much more enjoyable dining experience for the same price or even less.

Very tasty food. Very reasonable price. I lobe Unagi (eel) & they make it.
Went with my 10yo son who lobes ramen, & this is his favorite now. Plus je won an ice cream.
Recommend across the board.
