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 !
We had the Karaage, Takoyaki "nachos" & Tonkotsu. The Tonkotsu arrived to the table about 5 minutes before the appetizers which was a little strange, but everything was served within ten - fifteen minutes of ordering. The Tonkotsu was very flavorful, maybe slightly too salty, but still very enjoyable. The noodles & the egg were done perfectly! Noodles had a soft & chewy texture, egg was soft boiled to perfection, & the creamy broth coated everything nicely. The meat could have been more tender & flavourful, but it wasn't bad by any means. Next came the Takoyaki "nachos". I'm a big fan of Takoyaki, we asked if we could get it traditional, without the "nacho" part, but we were told it's not possible. It's 4 pieces in total, fried with Dorito crumbs, covered in sauce, sliced fresh jalapeno, & bonito flakes. I usually love bonito flakes, but these ones were SO smoky & overpowering that I couldn't taste the Takoyaki or the sauce. Seriously unpleasant in my opinion, I felt like I ate a spoonful of liquid smoke. The Karaage was good, well battered & very tender, served with an interesting aoli, however, still not what I was hoping for. (If you love Karaage, check it out at Gyu Kaku. *Chefs kiss*). The atmosphere was great, we loved the lighting & decor, & the service was friendly but if I'm being honest, the best part of the meal was who I ate it with. Overall, I'm glad we tried it, but wouldn't go back.
BEAUTIFUL Amazing food & fantastic decor Really love the theme & the staffs Regarding price wise A bit expensive but it is what it is Around 75$ for 2 ramen bowls + Fried chicken (favourite) + Tip Perfect for a date night Atmosphere is awesome Would definitely recommend to any cyberpunk & ramen lovers & will definitely come back
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!
Great location, the atmosphere is unique & the attention to details makes you feel in Japan. The food arrives really fast & really hot ! They have a good variety of ramen & appetizers, can't go wrong ! Good value for money ! Will definitely comeback to try different items on the menu !
Service excellent (merci Alex!! Tu as été extraordinaire. ) C'était une première expérience pour nous & notre serveur a été d'une grande aide. Ses recommandations étaient plus qu'excellentes! Tout à été plus qu'à la hauteur de nos attentes. Parfait pour les ados. N'hésitez pas à prendre plusieurs plats & partager. Ça en vaut la peine. Le décor est pour beaucoup dans l'ambiance. Belle sélection de Saké pour les amateurs & les connaisseurs. Nous y retournerons c'est certain.
