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.
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!
Cuisine TOP mais un peu trop salée à mon goût ! Cadre qui met directement dans l'ambiance & qui permet de passer un agréable moment de partage en discutant tranquillement autour d'un bon repas "authentique"
Nous y sommes aller un midi en groupe. Le service était rapide & la nourriture délicieuse! Le poulet frit était vraiment bon & pas trop gras. J'y retournerai
The ambiance is really nice, music Wait staff is very polite & knowledgeable, & friendly too The food is delicious, fresh, not heavy at all, There's a bit of wait, but since we were only two , we choose to be seated right away at the counter, good decision in our part, we had eagle view in both cooks/chefs , who also found a bit of time to chat with us ! I will go back definitely & recommend We could see they were also very busy with take out / delivery
Une expérience culinaire de qualité, les plats sont copieux, extrêmement bien cuisinés. Le sorbet aux agrumes est délicieux. Il a un goût de trop peu, on y reviendra. Le service est agréable & suivi. Le lieu est assez bien décoré dans une ambiance urbaine & japonaise. Un incontournable pour moi, j y retourne souvent.
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
I've been to Neotoyko three times so far & every single time the food is amazing & consistent. The atmosphere is so cool & different versus any other restaurant I've been too. I tried the Karage Spicy chicken it's a must as a starter, I've tried the TanTan (my favourite in my opinion with the broth), the mazesoba & the crème de bacon. The strawberry ice cream is amazing too!!! The wait on Friday night is so long I had to wait 1 hour & 30 min & I was told 40 but it was sooooo worth the wait. One last thing I would like to add I love the way they preserve the ambience they serve because when they bring you your food they bow to you & I find that so cool. I always see the runner/bus boy working so hard & running back & forth & I admire that as someone that works in a restaurant.
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.

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 mezaman was definitely great!!! They were really swamped, we sat at the bar , so we get to see how crazy busy the chef was! Just lost one star because the drink was kinda bit too light.. The karage was really hot & crisp!! The noodles were so so so gooooood, even my wife says yes. & my wife ain't one to like most food Will definitely come back!!
