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.
I got the Tan Tan ramen, & while I usually find ramen to lack flavour, this one did not disappoint. The ice cream at the end was also very good, I can't wait to go back. Imo it is definitely worth the price, plus the staff is very friendly & patient.
This place is such a vibe. Very cool, cyber Tokyo theme. Service is super nice in both English & French. Food is delicious. The Neotokyo mazesoba is a standout. Also the cocktails are very cute & delicious!
The atmosphere is sooo something out of a movie. But they also make freaking killer ramen. Their specials are unique & not typical like so many other places. & price point for location is fantastic! I have been twice & will be back every time I'm in Montreal for work

Took me all this time for a review there (although I went there a while back): Decor & atmosphere is unique, it gives off the feeling of eating in the streets in an Asian country. Even the seating & all, which looked to me like classroom desks & chairs, goes along with this theme. Everything was well put & thought. Food wise, no caveats on our end as well. Takoyaki, Salmon & Crème de Bacon Mazemen were our picks. The Crème was from a suggestions from a friend that really enjoyed the fusion. I vouch their words as well. Try it once at least.
The interior is so nice & the atmosphere is perfect for a date-I love the neon lighting & vintage feel! Other than that, the tonkatsu ramen is out of this world
Un de mes restaurants préférés à Montréal depuis que j'y suis allée avec une amie! J'ai pris les ramens sans bouillon Mazesoba. Vous pouvez demander à ajuster le taux d'épices, soit en mettre moins ou plus. J'ai adoré mon plat, & la portion était généreuse.

This place has a wonderful atmosphere & service. I definitely recommend it for anyone that is a blade runner fan or loves the neo tokyo atmosphere from Ghost in the Shell. Either way, I would still recommend anyone to visit this restaurant to try out their ramen! However, the ramen is unfortunately the downfall of this place. I had to pay extra just to have a spice to put on the ramen. The soup itself was not as rich & the noodles were subpar but still enjoyable. Take a visit if you haven't yet!
Very nice atmosphere in the dining place, giving the Japanese cyberpunk vibes. It's also a nice to hangout for a drink or two with friends. I have been here during lunch hours & it's crowded with a long queue. However, when I come after 8:30pm, I can straight walk in & have a seat without waiting.
I would give it 5 stars alone for the interior alone, but that's not exactly fair & I'm biased. There was a bit of wait on Thursday night, but it's manageable. Once we were seated the food didn't take too long. Tried curry, two different varieties of noodles. Everything tasted great in its own way. I think the curry was a bit too salty probably. Service was excellent & I really liked the attitude of their staff. I really have to comment on the girl that served us since the could hear us so well despite being a bit noisy around.

My partner & I shared 2 dishes - the perfect amount of food at lunchtime, honestly. The tonkotsu ramen left me craving it weeks after. The hamachi crudo was pretty good, perfect as a fresh appetizer before our main. The service was upscale quality. It came to around $45 after tax & tip.
Good food; good service; nice vibe. I do wish, however, that there were more vegetarian or vegan options. If customizable options exist, I think they should be better advertised.
