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.
The open kitchen concept adds & extra dimension to the experience they're offering at Neotokyo.
The aesthetic makes you feel like you're stepping off the streets of Montreal into a local ramen shop in Tokyo!
The drinks are great & pair well with the food they offer. If you're in the area or not, it's worth trying.
Before myself & the group of friends I went with left we were already planning to come back again shortly. Not only is a fun & cool place to check out the food is one of the best bites I've had in Montreal.
L'ambiance est unique & à la hauteur des fans du film Blade Runner. La cuisine est excellente. Les mazenmen, style de ramen sans bouillon, est potentiellement introuvable ailleurs (sinon, très rare à Montréal & les environs). Les entrées, savoureuses & addictives. Ça vaut le détour!

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.
The ramen was OK but nothing special. The place itself is cool. However, I was disappointed by the cocktail. As you see, there was too much ice for 12 Cad. Actually, it was not comfortable to drink because of the ice. When I asked for the straw, I got it served the way I am holding. So not very hygienic at all. There was no individual packaging or anything. The waiter was literally holding it like this..
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
Plats délicieux, staff très gentil malgré le fait qu'il y ai toujours une grosse activité, ambiance chaleureuse on se croirait vraiment au Japon! On adore l'endroit & c'est délicieux on vous le conseille +++ pour les ramen qui sont savoureux!!

Got there a bit before opening, & was lead right in. Had a nice tonkatsu ramen. Nicely balanced unlike the uber porky one I had in Tokyo:) Too much pork is that possible - lol.
Staff was very nice. Nice vibe.
Wow, from having been to Japan a few months ago, they really were able to reproduce the Tokyo'food court' experience there. +1000 just for the atmosphere!
I had the vegan miso ramen with extra impossible meat & spicy sauce. It was super tasty & can't wait to to back to try the other vegan option.
I had the truffle miso ramen & it was really good, rich & flavorful. The service was also great, especially the hostess (I think she was Latina?). She was kind, helpful, & managed the wait times really well.
3 stars because it was super disappointing to see that their payment terminal suggested tip amounts based on the total including taxes instead of the pre-tax subtotal. This is not legal in Quebec as of May 2025.
Tips must be calculated on the price before taxes under Bill 72. It's quite dishonest to not abide by that & I strongly encourage the restaurant to review & correct this practice.

My best friend & I visited this restaurant for supper, & we were impressed with the cyberpunk decor. We ordered the cucumber salad (4/5) & the spicy Karaage chicken (5/5) as sides, the Ice-Tea (5/5) & the beer mojito, the Tonkotsu ramen (3.5/5) & the TanTan ramen as main, & the cereal milk ice cream as dessert (4.5/5). The service was very sweet & efficient. Overall great experience!
Le ramen miso à la truffe quel délice 😍
L'attente était correcte, la salle pourrait être plus remplie & rentabiliser l'espace mais l'établissement a choisi de faire autrement & c'est appréciable d'avoir de l'espace & de ne pas être entassé !
Service agréable, pas intrusif juste ce qu'il faut pour passer une belle soirée.
