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.
We arrived when it wasn't too crowded, so we were able to get a table without having to wait for too long. Our server was very kind & helpful when we had any questions! The inside of the restaurant is also very beautifully decorated, I loved the industrial & cyberpunk vibe that they were going for; it made the experience a lot more interesting. My only issue is that some of the tables are pretty close together, so it was hard to pull a chair back to sit down or get up without touching the person seated behind me.
The food was pretty good. I originally felt unsure about eating a raw egg, but the flavor grew on me because it added a nice taste to my noodles. I just wish my dish had been a little hotter, since it was warm when I received it, but otherwise I enjoyed my meal & it was a great way to end my day.
An incredibly memorable restaurant! Not only is the decor & aesthetic unique & appealing, but the food was fantastic. The noodles are incredibly creamy & well cooked, & everyone in our party enjoyed their flavour combinations in their respective ramen. Service was friendly & not rushed. Definitely worth it.
Tried the lamb noodles (without soy sauce) & they were really good. As an Indian, I approve of the spice level 😄. Nice ambience, & the service was great too. The staff were very polite & even bowed when greeting & thanking customers, which was a nice touch. Would definitely come back
Great spot for some affordable & quick ramen & the Quility hits the right spot for it's price point, Especially the noodles that have the perfect texture.
I highly recommend this spot.
The staff was casual & gave a nice vibe allowing me to relax & observe a bit.
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.
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.
Absolutely amazing. We arrived about 10 minutes after they opened & tables had already begun filling up. Our server was a very chill guy, very helpful, & he was a pleasure to have. I got the Tonkotsu ramen & it was was perfectly made. The noodles were perfectly firm & didn't get soggy as I ate. It was some of the best ramen I've had in North America. My friends also got the vegan ramen with the vegan meat add-on & enjoyed it a lot. The environment was also superb. Overall it was absolutely amazing & I would love to go again.
Edit: Second time here. Just as amazing
