Had a wonderful early dinner on a casual Wednesday evening. Very nice restaurant! The food was delicious. Very tasty. Service was excellent, quick, attentive & friendly. Will definitely come back.
I was excited to go this restaurant to celebrate my birthday. I knew they don't take reservation. So, I contact them through Instagram before hand. I asked them if the place is kids friendly & if they take a table of 10. They were very responsive & said yes for both. When my friends arrived at the place around 5:30pm, the host & the floor manager told them that they can only take max 8 people & because our group were too big, they can't take us. The place filled up quick & by the time I arrived there was no table big enough for 8. I wanted to talk to floor manager & show him that I received a message saying they do take 10 people. The manager didn't show up. The host apologized for the confusion. She wanted to take my phone number & give us a call if there's a free spot. I gave my number but they never called me back. Bad experience with the place & the manager. The host was nice.

Spot parfait pour un diner d’affaires rapide & délicieux. J’ai aaaadoré la soupe miso à la truffe & aux légumes, c’était incroyable. Beau mélange de saveurs. Très bon service aussi, will be back for sure
Great restaurant with great ambiance. The food was good, especially the karaage. They have a nice variety of drinks to choose too. The price is a bit on the expensive side, but it is totally worth visiting & enjoying it
They don’t take reservations, which is unfortunate because I drove 1 hour to get there & they were full. Was told about a 20-30min wait & ended up waiting about 45min-1h. Got sat down to a chair soaked in water & a table covered in water, I guess it was from the cloth they used to clean the table, they just didn’t dry it before sitting us. I had to wipe my table with my napkin. Ordered a side at the same time as my friend, for whatever reason she got hers almost immediately & I had to wait over 20mins for mine…? Got the Tonkotsu soup as a main meal, my friend & I both didn’t really like it… but I do think it’s because it’s simply just not something we like, it seem somewhat good for someone who would appreciate a meal like this. Took forever to get my bill, waitress was nice & polite but overall over hyped & over priced. The ambiance & decor is very cool.
I had the pleasure of dining at NeoTokyo in Montreal during my recent vacation, & I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. At first, I was a bit skeptical as the restaurant didn't seem to offer traditional noodle dishes, but I was pleasantly surprised by the incredible culinary experience that awaited me.
The menu at NeoTokyo is a delightful fusion of flavors, blending traditional Japanese cuisine with modern twists. Each dish was a work of art, beautifully presented & bursting with unique flavors. From the moment I took my first bite, I knew I was in for a memorable dining experience.
However, what truly elevated my dining experience was the exceptional service provided by our waiter, Benjamin. He was not only knowledgeable about the menu but also passionate about the food & its origins. Benjamin's recommendations were spot-on, & his attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our meal was perfect.
The ambiance of NeoTokyo was also worth mentioning. The sleek & modern decor created a sophisticated yet comfortable atmosphere, allowing us to relax & fully immerse ourselves in the culinary journey.
Overall, NeoTokyo & our fantastic waiter Benjamin left an indelible impression on me. The innovative & delicious dishes, combined with Benjamin's impeccable service, made for an unforgettable dining experience. If you're looking for a unique & exceptional dining experience in Montreal, I highly recommend NeoTokyo.
I have been looking for a ramen shop in Montreal for a long time. I wasn't disappointed very good. But people who aren't open to new flavors might be put off. I loved the fried veggie donuts they have as a side dish, highly recommended it.
