I got the tantan ramen & the broth & the noodles were delicious & felt really authentic. The noodles were slightly thick & perfectly cooked while the broth, despite being a bit salty, had plenty of flavours & felt quite comforting. I had also ordered the plum lemonade & was unfortunately misled by the term of lemonade & discovered that I do not particularly enjoy plum juice. The atmosphere was also very nice, the decor was really cool & unique.
Loved this place.
The retro-futuristic vibe & dim lighting create such a cool atmosphere, but it's not just about the decor,the ramen was excellent too.
Everything tasted fresh, the broth was packed with flavor, & the portions were satisfying. You can really tell the whole team takes pride in what they do. the service was friendly, attentive, & everything came together seamlessly. Great team effort all around. Will definitely be coming back!
Visiting Montreal for work, I was excited to try this place for lunch. The menu item I ordered'Hakata Kaizoku' sounded great, & I ordered an extra egg with it.
I don't even know if it's what I received - it just tasted (& looked) like minced garlic broth with noodles. & exactly 0 eggs.
I really, really wanted to like it.
Overall we had such an amazing experience. The waiter was kind & offered suggestions to add to our drinks order, as my partner likes yuzu. I got the H20 & loved the taste of Sake & Mezcal.
The ramen I had was a rich, fatty & salty broth with amazing taste & fresh noodles. Definitely delicious but if you're looking for a healthy option try the Miso!
My partner had their signature mazesoba & it was AMAZING with fresh herbs & meat.
For this price point in this neighbourhood I'd highly recommend it. 10/10 value too.
The brothless ramen with beef & raw egg yolk on top was perfection!! Typically I would go for ramen with broth but decided to switch it up & I'm sooooo glad I did!
I ordered a brothless ramen, I believe it was the NeoTokyo Mazesoba, it was a bit salty but still delicious. Everything mixed in well together even though it was brothless. Came with a mini rice too!
The other ramen we ordered was the Tokyo ramen, rich & creamy broth, lots of umami & the noodles are fresh.
I have been to Japan, Korea, Vancouver, Toronto & New York. I had some great ramen in Vancouver & Toronto. Neotokyo has good atmosphere, service is very slow. For food, appetizers are pretty good, but ramen broth is too salty.
I tried both the broth ramen & the dry ramen (both were delicious), with very generous portions & outstanding flavor. The appetizers were also very good, & they came with a mustard/mayo-style sauce that was incredibly tasty. The service was attentive & quick, which made the experience even better. 100% recommended. The only detail is that it is not very suitable for large groups, so it's best to go as a couple or in a small group.
