Neotokyo est apprécié pour son ambiance cyberpunk immersive qui donne l'impression d'entrer dans un restaurant de ramen au cœur de Montréal, avec des néons et un décor futuriste. Le menu propose un bon mélange de ramen en bouillon, mazemen, options végan et une version sans bouillon, avec des portions généreuses et un bon rapport qualité-prix. Si le personnel est généralement chaleureux et efficace lorsque l'endroit n'est pas bondé, les foules peuvent rallonger les temps d'attente car le service est souvent premier arrivé, premier servi à certaines heures. Les avis soulignent des plats comme le tonkotsu, le mazemen et les takoyaki comme des points forts, et les boissons et l'ambiance complètent le tout, même si le niveau de sel peut varier d'un plat à l'autre. En somme, Neotokyo se présente comme une adresse mémorable pour les amateurs de ramen qui recherchent une expérience visuelle impressionnante et une cuisine japonaise moderne.
The ambience of this place is great! It gives off a cyberpunk/stray vibe. Service was very good too. Food took a little too long but the server was very attentive. As for the food, my partner & I ordered the mazemen & the tonkotsu ramen...first few bites we were amazed by the flavour! But after a few more bites it gets old. Overall both dishes were too salty. The menu is small & doesnt offer much variety for food (yes for drinks). Not a kid-friendly place (nor picky-eater-friendly). It's also very expensive, $70 for two people, 2 ramens, 1 non-alcoholic drink & 15% tip.
Visited during a recent trip to Montreal while in the downtown area. The restaurant atmosphere is a futuristic vibe with Japanese influences throughout the restaurant. They are better known for their ramen & mazemen (brothless ramen) dishes, as well as various Japanese inspired side dishes. Their best known mazemen bowl which is their Neotokyo Extra which comes with added chashu, an ajitama egg on top of their regular Neotokyo Mazemen bowl. It is a sizeable portion for one especially since it comes with an added bowl of rice to clean up the leftover sauce used for the mazemen. The flavours all mix very well & is a unique way of eating ramen as a whole. Overall, a decent spot for Japanese ramen & for an izakaya-like experience. Service was generally very friendly while I was there & my order came at a reasonable time despite the packed atmosphere. Recommended to come earlier to avoid the peak evening dinner time as there can be a bit of a wait.

For Montreal ramen it was very good. As we just got back from Japan we're hesitant to eat Japanese food here since we know it will never measure up, but this was very satisfying. Tonkatsu ramen: broth lacked some depth, noodles lacked some chew, but the porc was incredibly tender & tasty, egg was probably the best ramen egg I've ever had, & the bamboo had great flavour. Staff was friendly & the vibe is cool. Overall I'd go back
Great atmosphere, super good vibes. Food was excellent & service amazing. I forgot my sunglasses, came back a week later & the staff not only kept them safe for me, they even remember where I sat.
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
Neotokyo was extremely cool. The vibes were on point. It felt like we were in a cyberpunk, urban futuristic world. The food was great, top service, & amazing atmosphere. Everything we ordered was delicious, & we'll be visiting again next year! あざっす 🙏🏻

While visiting Montréal this place was recommended to us by a local friend & it did not disappoint. We came 2 nights ago & returned again tonight. The food, vibe, & service were fantastic. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique vibe in the city.
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!
Got Neotokyo noodles (not a soup). 100% worth it, delicious, good portion, nice vibes, really pretty, nice service & good glass of wine 🍜 will go again!
This was a fantastic find. The retro Tokyo vibes were super cool, from ceiling to the floor to the bathroom everything was on theme. The drinks were very good & the food delicious. We recommend the spicy karaage (which isn't much spicy, tasted like Korean fried chicken) & the tan tan ramen which had a lovely nutty taste.

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.

Come here for the cyberpunk vibes, not the food. The salmon mazemen is one of the worst noodle dishes I've ever tasted. There was nothing wrong with the salmon or ikura on their own, but the sauce they used was so fishy. The noodles were cold & on the firm side, so unless you REALLY love the taste of raw fish, the whole dish will taste like the stench of a fish market. The only redeeming dish was the spicy karaage. It was crispy & the spiciness level was just about right with a tinge of sweetness. However it was not good enough to forget about the unpleasantness of the mazemen. This place is usually busy too, so expect a long wait to get in & get your food.
Came in the restaurant on a sat around 10:15 & got a table around 10:25ish ,they closed at 11. Service & vibes were definitely there no complaints on that end. Tried the speciality neotokyo Taiwanese mazeboba, had a nice variety of toppings so kudos however it tasted mid to me, onions were overpowering & the dish itself seemed bland (some type of sauce could have been incorporated more). If they left sauce on the side could be nice. So overall 6/10 for that dish. We also ordered the salmon noodles dish, I was really disappointed at how plain of a dish it was. It was literally just cured salmon, fish eggs & noodles with I think just oil. This dish could use more textures & sauce for sure. Don’t get me wrong it’s ok but not what I expected & anyone could make this if I’m being honest. So for this 5/10. I guess to each it’s own. Overall review service 10/10, Atmosphere 10/10 & food 6/10
