Les avis sur Neotokyo décrivent une expérience à la fois culinaire et visuelle, avec une ambiance cyberpunk immersive et une déco néon qui rappelle Blade Runner; la plupart louent des ramens et mazemen riches, des bouillons savoureux et des nouilles bien cuites, accompagnés d'entrées comme karaage, gyoza et takoyaki et des plats tels que hamachi crudo ou thon à queue jaune qui reviennent souvent; le service est globalement rapide et attentionné, parfois ralenti par l'affluence, mais jugé efficace et sympathique; la carte plaît par sa variété et ses portions généreuses, et certains considèrent Neotokyo comme l'un des meilleurs spots de ramen à Montréal; quelques critiques portent sur le bruit et l'affluence, sur des plats parfois trop salés ou manquant de profondeur, et sur des détails de service comme les pourboires via terminal ou des couverts, mais l'ensemble reste positif et incite à revenir pour tester d'autres plats et cocktails.
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.
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.

Heads up: No Reservations & No Cash. Great place to dine in for some sides to share; we had pork gyoza, kuyri no sarada (cucumber salad), chili shrimp wonton, chikua (fishcake mozarella) tempura, karaage & edamame. We all tried Mazemen (brothless/thick noodles) Neotokyo Mazesoba (Beef soboro), super delicious. Refreshing ice cream as desserts. Special shoutout to Edween & Mary.
We went on a weekday & were glad that there was no line up outside as it was cold & snowy. The decor is absolutely stunning & so fun! The waiters were amazing, the service is so attentive & they go above & beyond to accommodate you. The appetizers are amazing & we recommend the karaage & the spicy karaage. As main, we ordered the mazemen, which was good, but I would have asked less nori for next time. The crème de bacon was very hearty but flavourful & a tad too heavy but we do have smaller appetites. The steak was good. The Tantan was my absolute fave, it was so flavourful & the broth was amazing. I would have taken it a little more spicier, but that is just me.
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
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.
