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 atmosphere was great, but it can get a bit noisy & the tables are fairly close together, so it's not the most intimate setting.
The staff was very friendly & the food was delicious. Everything we ordered was really flavorful. For two people, sharing one appetizer & ordering two main dishes, the total came to around $60 CAD before tip, which felt very reasonable.
A great option if you're looking for tasty relaxed dinne
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 tried both the broth ramen & the dry ramen (both were delicious), with very generous portions & outstanding flavor. The appetizers were also very good, & they came with a mustard/mayo-style sauce that was incredibly tasty. The service was attentive & quick, which made the experience even better. 100% recommended. The only detail is that it is not very suitable for large groups, so it's best to go as a couple or in a small group.
Very fun visit. Place can be very busy & loud. Best get reservations. Ramen was alright. Tasty enough. We have to wait quite a while for our food so come in & expect to be patient if it's busy. Extra for dishes were a touch skimpy. Would recommend if your in town.
Fantastic cocktails, tasty ramen in a unique & atmosphere! Full menu available only as an Instagram highlight, which is a little frustrating. The Tres Spicy Mazemen special with the depth of mala spice (& a small glass of soy milk to reset!) is not for the spice-averse. Friendly service, but not the fastest; we weren't checked on/had water refilled between food arriving & finishing eating, & quite a gap after, as well. Understandable for a busy Saturday evening.
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.

For Montreal ramen it was very good. As we just got back from Japan we're hesitant to eat Japanese food here since we know it will never measure up, but this was very satisfying. Tonkatsu ramen: broth lacked some depth, noodles lacked some chew, but the porc was incredibly tender & tasty, egg was probably the best ramen egg I've ever had, & the bamboo had great flavour. Staff was friendly & the vibe is cool. Overall I'd go back
Having experienced this place at the start of our Montreal road trip, we returned on our last leg before heading home. We can report that the tonkotsu ramen was equally good the second time round. We also tried the very spicy lamb mazemen & although I could take the heat, certain spices just make my head sweat. Really tasty! The extra surprise this time was the fish cake which was a lovely starter.
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.
We stumbled by Neotokyo on our way to Chinatown & decided to check it out. The atmosphere was amazing great music, lighting & furnishings. Food was creative, very tasty with a modern twist. We will be back!
Was looking for a cool & cute restaurant to go while in Montreal & found this one on tiktok ! I got the goma miso mazemen & it was super tasty ! They have some vegetarain options which is always something to appreciate. The food is a little bit pricey for a student, but the quality definitely makes it worth it. I have a lot of allergies, so it's always stressful to go to a new restaurant, especially abroad. The server was so patient & kindly went over the WHOLE menu for us. Truly appreciate it when people really care about their client. He was even sweet enough to give us some good recommendations of places to visit while in town ! Thank you Alex !

The Neotokyo Mazesoba is excellent. Very tasty, & nice combination of textures & flavours. Highly recommended. The tonkotsu ramen is just alright. The broth was a bit bland, so I don't recommend that dish. Drinks were hit & miss. The H2O is refreshing, but the lemon overpowers the other ingredients. The Vista Del Rey is super good if you like minty flavours, but the portion size is way too small. Overall, the drinks aren't good value. I suggest drinking before or after going here, or just ordering a beer if you must. The decor is fun, staff was attentive. Space fills up fast. Not sure I'll return, as the overall value is just alright.
The neotokyo extra was tasty. Noodles very fresh. Nice atmosphere in the restaurant. The miso ramen was a bit too salty for my taste & the portions were a bit small, which is why 4 stars instead of 5. Would still come back though!
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.
