Neotokyo earns praise for an immersive cyberpunk atmosphere that feels like stepping into a Tokyo ramen shop straight out of a Blade Runner inspired world, with bold neon lighting and a futuristic vibe. The menu features a strong mix of broth ramen, mazemen, vegan options and a brothless variant, with generous portions and generally solid value for Montreal. While the staff are friendly and efficient when the place isn’t crowded, the busy crowds can mean long waits since it is largely first come, first served during peak hours. Overall the dishes are flavorful and well balanced, with standout items such as Tonkotsu ramen, Mazemen and Takoyaki, and the drinks and ambience are noted as positive complements. Together these elements make Neotokyo a memorable and often recommended stop for ramen lovers visiting downtown Montreal.
Neotokyo is one of the coolest restaurants in Montreal, they definitely nailed it with the decor/ theme, you're eating straight out of a Blade Runner movie scene! We shared a cucumber salad, fried chicken with aioli & some dumplings for starters. Everything we ordered was fresh & tasty & the portion size generous. The Tan Tan soup is recommended if you enjoy eating spicy, A must try is the "Cereal Milk Ice Cream" as dessert which will take you right back to your childhood memories. Our waitress was very friendly & attentive, same with the waiting staff, the service was fast & efficient. The restaurant is always busy (which is a great sign!) so be prepared to wait a little bit for a table.
Un vrai coup de coeur 💕 La décoration est dépaysante & l'ambiance également, mais le top c'est leur nourriture. Les ramens 🍜 étaient délicieuses. Attention, il y en a une qui pique beaucoup (poulet), mais le bouillon est tellement bon. Si vous aimez les nouilles chinoises, vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés, vous allez vous régaler.

Cool looking spot with nice food an drink selection.
The ramen was rich & delicious. A lot of different elements combining to create incredible flavor.
The futuristic decor is very trendy, making it a fun spot for small groups.
Giving 4 stars only because the service was a bit slow, it is always full & they don't take reservations, which is a most in post-covid times, IMO.
They don’t take reservations, which is unfortunate because I drove 1 hour to get there & they were full. Was told about a 20-30min wait & ended up waiting about 45min-1h. Got sat down to a chair soaked in water & a table covered in water, I guess it was from the cloth they used to clean the table, they just didn’t dry it before sitting us. I had to wipe my table with my napkin. Ordered a side at the same time as my friend, for whatever reason she got hers almost immediately & I had to wait over 20mins for mine…? Got the Tonkotsu soup as a main meal, my friend & I both didn’t really like it… but I do think it’s because it’s simply just not something we like, it seem somewhat good for someone who would appreciate a meal like this. Took forever to get my bill, waitress was nice & polite but overall over hyped & over priced. The ambiance & decor is very cool.
I had the pleasure of dining at NeoTokyo in Montreal during my recent vacation, & I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. At first, I was a bit skeptical as the restaurant didn't seem to offer traditional noodle dishes, but I was pleasantly surprised by the incredible culinary experience that awaited me.
The menu at NeoTokyo is a delightful fusion of flavors, blending traditional Japanese cuisine with modern twists. Each dish was a work of art, beautifully presented & bursting with unique flavors. From the moment I took my first bite, I knew I was in for a memorable dining experience.
However, what truly elevated my dining experience was the exceptional service provided by our waiter, Benjamin. He was not only knowledgeable about the menu but also passionate about the food & its origins. Benjamin's recommendations were spot-on, & his attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our meal was perfect.
The ambiance of NeoTokyo was also worth mentioning. The sleek & modern decor created a sophisticated yet comfortable atmosphere, allowing us to relax & fully immerse ourselves in the culinary journey.
Overall, NeoTokyo & our fantastic waiter Benjamin left an indelible impression on me. The innovative & delicious dishes, combined with Benjamin's impeccable service, made for an unforgettable dining experience. If you're looking for a unique & exceptional dining experience in Montreal, I highly recommend NeoTokyo.
We waited an hour (were told 20 - 30 minutes) My raman came when everyone else was done. The raman was mushy, eggy, & mediocre. We waited forever for the check. The waitress was by the restroom scrolling through her phone. The decor was cliche. The bill came to over a hundred dollars.
