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.

Forget the location & the interior design - a riff on Blade Runner - & come just for the food that is amazing. You close your eyes & are transported to Japan. Takoyaki & mazemen were outstanding. Will have to return multiple times to test all the items on the menu.
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.
Ambiance neo-futuriste de type Cyberpunk à deux pas du Palais des Congrès de Montréal. Excellent rapport qualité prix. Des assiettes copieuses préparées avec soin. Je recommande les nouilles au boeuf Mazesoba.
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..
On est venus pour souper ici, tellement une ambiance cool mais en plus les cocktails qui nous ont étés recommandés par notre serveur étaient super bons! Cool vibes, merci!

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
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
I had such a great experience, easy 5 stars.
The vibe alone is worth the visit. It honestly felt like stepping into one of those dark, cinematic video game restaurant scenes, moody lighting, graffiti walls, a kind of futuristic Tokyo metal aesthetic. It's edgy & industrial, but somehow still cool & chic at the same time. Not pretentious, just effortlessly stylish. The whole space feels immersive, like you're in on something special.
For food, we told our waiter to surprise us & pick the dishes, & that was 100% the right move. Every plate that came out was excellent. Everything felt balanced, intentional, & exciting without trying too hard.
The drinks were also great. I ordered one of their house cocktails with sake & peach (I wish I remembered the name), & it was perfectly done, smooth, slightly sweet, super refreshing, & not overpowering. Definitely one of those drinks you could have more than one of.
Between the atmosphere, the food, & the drinks, Neotokyo absolutely delivered. If you're looking for a spot that feels unique & memorable while still serving genuinely amazing food, this is it. Will definitely be back.
