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 a jem. Especially a fan of the Mazesoba & the TanTan Ramen. While they don't take reservations, there are plenty of places in the area to grab a drink while you wait & it's well worth the wait.

C'est pour moi le meilleur endroit pour une soupe Ramen en ville. On sent le soucis du détail dans la présentation, & rien n'est laissé au hasard pour la recherche de saveurs. J'adore & je suis maintenant un habitué!
One of the best Ramen place in Montreal. Downside is : Hard to find a parking nearby No reservation & it is usually packed The light is not the best for photos Now the goodies: Generous portion Great taste Excellent & flavourful broth Tendy & chewy noodles Nice atmosphere & music is not too loud Definitely recommend & will come back
The ramen is really good (not the best in the city, but above average for sure). We got there at 5:30 (right when it opens) & there was a line, but we got in right away. Get there at 5:30 if you don't want to wait. Service & atmosphere are great. Perfect for a date or fun & funky dinner. - the spicy chicken karaage was really good. It comes with pumpkin seeds & cranberries on top, which go really well. - I think the TanTan ramen is better than the Tonkotsu

First, if you want to get into this no-reservations resto, show up fifteen minutes prior to opening. Also, skip lunch. The portions are generous & the food unctuous. We had one traditional ramen soup (great broth), one dry noodle dish that has a little bit of everything added to it, & one bacon cream noodle. All were superb. Starters were nice too: fried chicken, cold eggplant & dumplings. If you do have a starter, a 2-main-dishes / 3 people might be the way to go. Adding this to my favourites list. Oh, appreciated the retro 1930s-40s music! Attentive friendly service too.
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.
I have been looking for a ramen shop in Montreal for a long time. I wasn't disappointed very good. But people who aren't open to new flavors might be put off. I loved the fried veggie donuts they have as a side dish, highly recommended it.
