Ramen Misoya is widely regarded as a hidden gem in Montreal, praised for its cozy atmosphere and flavorful, comforting ramen bowls that offer great value. Many diners frequently highlight the generous portions and the high quality of the broth and toppings, particularly the gold miso and cha shu, as reasons for their repeat visits. While the majority of guests have positive experiences with the friendly, hardworking staff, there are recurring mentions of inconsistent service speeds, occasional long wait times during peak hours, and some concerns regarding the cleanliness of the space. Although a few visitors have encountered issues with specific dish quality or communication regarding orders, the restaurant generally maintains a strong reputation as a welcoming spot for authentic Japanese comfort food that leaves many customers eager to return.
Gave me burnt to crisp chashu's i got extra chashu, left everything couldn't eat it. Sucks that they visibly see it being bad to eat & still serve it to the clients. Service was great, lady was nice. Chef you can do better. Better to lose money than to poison your clients.
Was looking to have a quick dinner by myself & so went here but after almost 1h I still haven't gotten my food! Having introduced the self ordering system, the service at table is simply inexistant & the only waitress serving, inexperienced, didn't help make it better. Tried a silver ramen & the broth was ok but the chasu was not what it looks like in pictures!

So disappointed in my experience today. I've been coming to this place for years but started coming less because the food was less qualitative than it used to be. I decided to give it another chance today.
It took more than 1 hour for me to get my bowl of ramen. In the past, I've never waited more than 20 minutes, even when the place was full. I ordered extra fries (4pcs) with my bowl. After more than an hour, the server brought the bowl with 2 pcs & says they will bring the rest soon, which then arrived at the end of my bowl. How is it so difficult to fry 4 fries? Tofu was also missing on my bowl but the wait was so long that i didn't want to ask & wait more. The ramen was good, broth was flavorful but not spicy for tantanmen. Not good enough for such a long wait tho.
The server was very kind, was tryng her best & i could see that she was embarassed of the situation.
I've come here many times, the food is amazing & the service great & fast.
It is to note that a couple of times the food was too salty & the Cha-shu is often just fat (that might be the whole point though but just not my preference). I mostly always order the Gold kome Special which is my favorite. They offer to water it down a little with extra broth if it's too savory which is very appreciated in those rare moments.
The food there is very much worth it overall. The restaurant is small, cozy, the food is comforting. Will definetly remain a regular there.
I came here by myself & it was really enjoyable. Quiet & surprisingly small but it had a really nice atmosphere. The waiter was really kind at helping me choose what I should try. The Gold Kome Chashu Deluxe is a good start if you're trying out ramen for the first time. It came quickly & I had a great first experience. This place truly gave me a new interest in ramen.
Ramen Misoya is a cozy basement spot that delivers flavorful ramen at a more affordable price point than many others in the city. Portions are generous, especially the amount of chashu you get for the price.
Here's what I tried:
* Shiro Chashu Ramen - 9/10 Flavorful broth, nicely charred chashu, & a good variety of toppings.
* Gold Miso Ramen - 7.5/10 Rich & hearty broth, though some toppings were unexpected (like a fried potato wedge).
* Takoyaki - 8.5/10 Tasty, a good choice while waiting.
The staff is friendly, & the open kitchen adds a nice touch. The place is warm & inviting, but since it's located in a basement, it might be a little tricky to spot. It can get busy during lunch, & service can be a bit slow but the food is worth the wait.
Been going to this place for the last 4 years it's been the best since day one. Also!! The broth doesn't need to be changed, it's prefect the way it is ! (05/09/2025)
Le service était rapide & courtois, la cuisine goûteuse & généreuse, & l'ambiance chaleureuse & amusante. Pour les intéressés, l'anime Saiki K était en diffusion sur la télévision du restaurant pour notre plus grand plaisir & la décoration était bien choisie. Une très belle expérience que je recommande fortement !
Tasty broth & good texture of the noodles, but the cha-siu slice is thin & small, the egg was not perfect, & the price for these extra aren't worth it. Maybe best for vegetarian dishes. Took a while to receive the bowl as well, perhaps understaff.
