Neotokyo is widely praised for its immersive cyberpunk atmosphere that feels like a Blade Runner inspired Tokyo, with bold neon decor and a vibrant, energetic vibe. The food earns consistently high marks, especially the ramen and mazemen, with favorites including tonkotsu, miso with truffle, tan tan, and other flavorful broths, plus well liked sides like karaage, gyoza, takoyaki, and a refreshing cucumber salad. Generous portions, good value for the location, and a fast, attentive service are common themes, though crowds can make it loud and lead to wait times or busy service, particularly at peak hours. The experience is often described as memorable and worth returning to, whether for a casual bite or a date, with many appreciating the decor, the vibe, and the variety of options, including vegan choices. A few notes mention saltiness in some broths and occasional service hiccups or payment tip practices that could be improved, but these are outweighed by the overall positive impression of atmosphere, quality, and consistency across visits.
I may have found my new favorite ramen place in town.
The decor is striking. It's like the original Blade Runner. It's very well done. Great place for a dinner date.
Menu has a lot of typical appetizers, ramen & mazemen. We tried the house wontons, the classic tonkotsu ramen & house mazemen. Everything was excellent. The katsu was perfect, probably the best I've had here.
The cocktails were also very interesting. Nice staff.
Come early, because it's popular.
Prices aren't cheap (especially the apps), but the quality is there. I'll absolutely return.
The Tan-Tan was to die for. Inside it's a very unique decor, felt like I was in Blade Runner, very cool. Angela was great with us, super friendly & attentive despite how busy they got. Highly highly recommend one of my favourite bowls of ramen ever.
Tip: they don't take bookings for dinner so go early! We went on a weekday & it got packed by 6:30.

De la Ramen Tonkatsu, en passant par le Karaage
Du service, à la décoration, tout est excellent
Seule légère, mini-déception (mais vraiment c'est pour trouver un point « négatif ») : un oeuf entier dans la soupe Ramen plutôt qu'un demi ça serait mieux.
Love the decor & atmosphere at the restaurant. The staff were really friendly & helpful, but I thought that the food was lacking. The dishes I ordered didn't stand out for me in terms of flavors
The reviews aren't wrong. This is an amazing restaurant. Really top quality. I'll start with the atmosphere (vibes), & they were amazing. I loved the decor; it really added to the whole experience. Great work. Our waitress was so sweet, gave us some recommendations, & kept bringing us water! Now for the food, it was super. I got the spicy dry ramen; keep in mind it's actually really spicy but super good, so I highly recommend it. We also got a side order of sweet & spicy fried chicken, which didn't disappoint. I'd highly suggest going here; you won't be disappointed. Kind of random, but they don't accept cash, so keep that in mind. Thanks for the experience. I'll be back.
Took me all this time for a review there (although I went there a while back): Decor & atmosphere is unique, it gives off the feeling of eating in the streets in an Asian country. Even the seating & all, which looked to me like classroom desks & chairs, goes along with this theme. Everything was well put & thought. Food wise, no caveats on our end as well. Takoyaki, Salmon & Crème de Bacon Mazemen were our picks. The Crème was from a suggestions from a friend that really enjoyed the fusion. I vouch their words as well. Try it once at least.
Thé au jasmin à essayer. Mazemen Neotokyo le meilleur plat selon mon opinion. Décor qui fait voyager & ambiance agréable. De loin le Meilleur endroit à ramen à Montréal.

NeoTokyo offre une expérience unique, alliant une atmosphère futuriste à des influences culinaires japonaises, rappelant des classiques de la science-fiction comme Blade Runner. Le décor est saisissant, avec des éléments qui plongent les convives dans un univers cyberpunk. L'ambiance est un bon atout, & je ne suis pas le seul à avoir remarqué cette vibe underground & moderne. Le service est chaleureux, bien qu'on note parfois une légère attente aux heures de pointe. Arriver tôt est donc recommandé. Pour notre part, un vendredi midi à 11h30, nous avions le choix de toutes les places! Côté nourriture, c'est un des grands points forts. Le ramen au curry est riche & savoureux, un véritable coup de coeur! De nombreux critiques encensent également les karaage épicés, & après les avoir goûtés, je comprends pourquoi : ils sont excellents! Cependant, certains plats, comme la pieuvre, ont laissé mes collègues un peu plus tièdes. Ce n'était pas mauvais, mais il manquait le fameux wow qu'on attend parfois. Par ailleurs, quelques clients ont mentionné que les prix sont un peu élevés comparés à d'autres restaurants de ramen à Montréal. Dans l'ensemble, NeoTokyo est un excellent choix pour les amateurs de cuisine japonaise, offrant à la fois des plats traditionnels & innovants dans un cadre visuellement captivant. Avec sa nourriture savoureuse & son service sympathique, c'est un petit resto intéressant pour vivre une expérience culinaire unique à Montréal.
Initialement, je ne suis pas la plus grande adepte des ramens mais ce restaurant a remis mes goûts en question. Après une petite attente, nous avons été accueillis par un serveur très agréable qui nous a tout de suite mis à l'aise. Étant végétarienne, j'ai opté pour le ramen aux champignons qui était succulent. La décoration était assez immersive grâce aux néons au plafond & l'ambiance était très conviviale. Je serais heureuse de revenir tester les autres plats de nouilles :)
Third time coming here & I am never disappointed! The decorations are on point & very immersive. Service is 100%. If you are looking for an amazing soup try out the TanTan soup. Definitely on the top of my list specifically with the cold season up ahead.
Expérience à la hauteur de mes attentes. Acceuille chaleureux & service impeccable. Nous avons bien fait d'écouter les conseils du serveur pour nos choix de plat & de boissons. Excellent cocktail & très bon saké froid. Rien a dire de négatif. Une nouvelle adresse à retourner très certainement. Excellent endroit à amener une "date" ou pour un souper entre amis dans un décors qui nous transporte à l'étranger.

I've grown to love mazemen, as a flavorful & less fat-heavy alternative to ramen, but it's hard to find. So when I heard that Neotokyo specializes in the dish, I decided to swing by for dinner. The futuristic decor is a fun touch & the staff are friendly, & I was very happy with my food. I ordered the Neotokyo house mazemen & the cucumber salad, & both were delicious & reasonably priced. I'll be back!
The interior decoration is quite unique! I like the phone booth at the side! Food wise, soup broth is thick & can be salty for some people, but i feel it's flavourful. Chilli spice level is super low. When they say it's spicy, it's just peppery. So you can always request for the chilli power later. The dry noodles can be oily for some but I feel that's the correct texture. Add the rice that comes with it to level up the dry noodles experience! Give that a good mix & the rice will actually cling onto the noodles. Service wise, do be patient. The chefs are attentive & noticed the customers needs really fast. But the servers might require slightly more patience as they tend not to notice the customers.
Atmosphere & decor were incredible! Staff were attentive & friendly. However, the food was really lacking. My noodles were way too over seasoned tasting super salty & fatty making it unpleasant to eat. Fastfood quality made it feel overpriced unfortunately.
Une expérience culinaire de qualité, les plats sont copieux, extrêmement bien cuisinés. Le sorbet aux agrumes est délicieux. Il a un goût de trop peu, on y reviendra. Le service est agréable & suivi. Le lieu est assez bien décoré dans une ambiance urbaine & japonaise. Un incontournable pour moi, j y retourne souvent.
Really cool decor for a restaurant for sure! Unfortunately, the food was not exactly up to par considering the price point in my opinion. Takoyaki was tasty, nothing negative about it. The Mezamen I thought tasted ok & is a nice option. The Tonkotsu ramen was the most unfortunate as it made my friend sick & tasted odd. I do not know if they put some sort of cream or milk in the broth but it tasted as though cream had not been tempered in the broth properly & curdled, which is too bad. I value a restaurant's food above all else which is why I am only giving 3 stars, but we otherwise had a good service & the atmosphere was fun.
