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.
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!
Such a nice place to have a dinner, amazing food, the people that work there were so nice, the place is very cozy! Love it, i'm definitely coming back!
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
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.

I've been waiting to try Neotokyo for a while after seeing a couple of videos online, & I have to say I'm more than impressed! The atmosphere as anyone can tell is absolutely crazy & fits the cyberpunk aesthetic perfectly, I took soooo many photos. The food & service also did not disappoint, we did have a longer waiting time so our waiter brought complimentary sake & kept checking in on us so we felt taken care of. We had the Neotokyo Mazesoba - it was absolutely delicious & filling, so we ended but bringing it home. I wish I had gotten an image of the meal but I couldn't help to dig in right away. Honestly I'm probably going to be coming back here very soon, already sent a couple of my friends here!
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.
Incroyablement bon. Bien présentés avec un service de qualité. L'interaction avec les serveurs vous mettent déjà dans l'ambulance. Une super expérience pour les amoureux de la culture pop Japan & aux curieux. J'ai voyagé au pays du soleil levant. Merci à vous.

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.
Amazing experience especially when it's cold. The vibes are incredible. The only think is make sure to come when it's not that crowded so you avoid waiting for sitting.
