Why does ramen have to be so expensive in Mtl?!?! Granted: Neo Tokyo offers a nice rich & creamy broth without seeing an oily film over the soup nor feeling bad oily feel in mouth. Great char siu too! & the egg is definitely one of the better ones I've had in Mtl. Good job. But why the heck so expensive in Mtl?!?! Also ordered the Très Spicy Mazemen with lamb. Très good taste & good amount of lamb. It comes with a glass of soy milk to manage the heat BUT...very disappointing heat. Anyone who loves peppers & respects the heat will know the Korean buldak instant noodles. If you use the whole pack of spicy seasonning for the buldak (& you like it that spicy because the truth is that all we need is heat) then the très spicy mazemen is like 1/8 of that heat...maybe 1/10. So go ahead, eat the mazemen & don't be afraid to take out your contact lenses from your eyes without washing your hands if you need to after finishing slurpping these noodely friendlies. & then there is the spicy karaage (or should we simply say tangy karaage...no real heat here again)...big pieces, good ratio protein & batter, well fried, smothered in yummy sauce yet still crispy BUT why costco dehydrated cranberries & pumpkin seeds (or are they pepitas). Weird garnish. Cheapens it. I would do without or find something better. Don't need that tartness or nuttyness. Otherwise, great cyber punk atmosphere. You'd think you're in a Blade Runner set. Kuddos! Beers are decently priced. Acceptable. Service is good but almost too present...We don't need the waiter to come back so often. Just been there once so not sure if that's how they wait or if the one waiter we had.

Having experienced this place at the start of our Montreal road trip, we returned on our last leg before heading home. We can report that the tonkotsu ramen was equally good the second time round. We also tried the very spicy lamb mazemen & although I could take the heat, certain spices just make my head sweat. Really tasty! The extra surprise this time was the fish cake which was a lovely starter.

Many moons ago, I came across Kinton Ramen in Chicago. I was looking forward to finding one in Montreal, but then I got distracted & came across this ramen-ya! Neo Tokyo had a little bit of that underground grunginess that you see in many Japanese manga/anime & sci-fi films. It transports you into that pseudo Matrix set. Our hostess (I think she is Meriem, at least that's what the bill said. Sorry, I should have asked;) was jokingly asking us if we want the French or English version of her services. Regretfully my français est très mal. So we went with English. The selection of appetizers were fantastic. Japanese fusion, they would not be out of place in any top Japanese restaurants: Spicy Karaage Nasu Agebidash Agedashi Tofu Kimchi Tsukemono You can really sense the various textures & depths of flavour. Then the main event: Tonkotsu! I have religiously tried many places from Japan, US, UK & it is a real skill to combine both the right noodles & the broth. Neo Tokyo hits that bulls eye on both counts. The firmness of the noddles & the richness of the broth were both exceptional! The creaminess is so smooth. Your inner noodle-self will thank you profusely!

Perfect restaurant. Hits all criteria perfectly. Vibe, food, staff's friendliness, whatever criteria you set they will satisfy. Had spicy karaage, miso truffle, tonkotsu, chicken ramen, & the mazemen, & all of them were top tier. Highly HIGHLY recommend

Really cool decor for a restaurant for sure! Unfortunately, the food was not exactly up to par considering the price point in my opinion. Takoyaki was tasty, nothing negative about it. The Mezamen I thought tasted ok & is a nice option. The Tonkotsu ramen was the most unfortunate as it made my friend sick & tasted odd. I do not know if they put some sort of cream or milk in the broth but it tasted as though cream had not been tempered in the broth properly & curdled, which is too bad. I value a restaurant's food above all else which is why I am only giving 3 stars, but we otherwise had a good service & the atmosphere was fun.

It provides a Tokyo vibe, yes, & service is usually pretty good. Ramens are actually so-so but the snacks such as karage chicken are of high quality.

Neotokyo has turned into my favourite ramen spot in town due to their delicious mazemen. These brothless ramen dishes are simply delicious & unique. It is a place close to my heart as I love the cyberpunk aesthetic. I wish it included references to a variety of media in the genre, but of course it's mostly based on Akira. The first time I came here a while back, I wasn't too impressed, but they have really improved their menu over time, forcing me to edit my review & give it 5 stars. These days I would easily recommend this place as somewhere you have to go if you visit the city.

The tonkotsu ramen was very good! It was a shame that they forgot to add the ajitama egg to it.

Came here to see the interior decor but will be back for the food. The tonkotsu ramen exceeded the expectations I had based on reading reviews here. Portion size is slightly smaller than I would like but what you get is good.

Awesome cyberpunk vibes & good food! The interior was stunning & felt very Blade Runner-esque. My friends & I came on a Friday night, over an hour before closing, & waited about 7 minutes before getting a table. The interior is so die for! It was moderately noisy, full, & quite hot, but we were graciously seated next to a fan. The service was quick, friendly, & amazing! We ordered the Tonkatsu ramen, the Tokyo Style ramen, & the TanTan ramen. The food was good but not special. The Tonkatsu ramen was delicious, while the Tokyo style was ok & the TanTan was not good. The TanTan was extremely salty despite adding a cup of water to the broth, perhaps because we visited at the end of the day. Otherwise, the chasu & broth was flavourful & aromatic. Would come here again to give their mazemens a try!
