Ramen Misoya Montreal Restaurant: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)
RamenJapaneseAsianVegetarianSoups

Where ramen and miso meets
Ever since Japan’s Edo period (1600 to 1867 AC), Miso has been known as a healthy and tasty
condiment and has been beloved for generations.

Miso is made with soybeans, rice (or barley in some cases) and salt by being fermented for a certain
period of time. It originated in China, spread to Japan in the 9th century and became known as Miso paste. In the long history of Japan, Miso has been a sufficient protein source, to enhance rice, soup or as a sauce over vegetable side dishes.

As a fermented food, miso is a great source of probiotics or beneficial bacteria, which increases the
health of your gut and enhances your immune system. Miso is also high in protein, in minerals like
manganese and zinc, and vitamin E, vitamin K, various B vitamins, and folic acid.

Review Summary

Reviews describe Ramen Misoya as a cozy basement ramen spot in Montreal offering a range of miso ramen and generous toppings at a reasonable price. The broth is frequently praised for depth and flavor, with favorites like Gold Kome and Shiro Chashu noted, and diners appreciate the option to add extra broth or toppings. Noodle quality and toppings are variable; some bowls feature excellent chashu, while others show fatty edges or misfires like burnt chashu. Service ranges from fast and friendly to slow or understaffed, with long wait times reported at busy times. The atmosphere is cozy and anime on screen adds to the vibe, though the basement setting and occasional cleanliness or visibility concerns are mentioned. A few reviews mention delivery issues and refund mixups, though responses indicate some remediation. Overall, many see Ramen Misoya as a strong, comforting ramen destination and value for money, with high praise for flavor and several caveats about consistency and service.

I wasn't expecting such a light broth in the Gold kome. I had to order a spicy sauce to add some flavour to it. The potatoes inside were cold. Other ramen shops have more depth in the flavors. Maybe it was just a bad time. Might come again.

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.

Recommended, & I'll be back!

I've walked past this unassuming little ramen shop for years. When an old friend said they made the best ramen in town I was eager to try. I'm so glad I did!!I had the deluxe gold, & it was one of the best ramen I've ever had.

It was... pretty standard. I was honestly disappointed by the food... it was very... standard. Don't take my word for granted, though. It may be because I like strong flavors, but still, it tasted very bland for me. At the very least, I did not enjoy it that much, but it was definitely not disgusting. For the price, it's decent. It definitely is budget friendly compared to most Ramen places nowadays. My friend, however, seems to enjoy it (as you can see, there are 2 different bowls). I ordered a Miso basic, & I think my friend ordered something from the Golden section of the menu. The selection was alright but lacking in every meal item... which made me hesitate on what to get, & so I decided to stick to something that people suggested. The service was sad even though the restaurant was not busy... I felt like the waiter was rushing to get it over with. I don't want to question his mood nor attitude since it was my first time there, & it could be one of those bad days, but it really might just be a 1 time problem!!! The place is in a secluded spot, but the inside gives you a "private place" sort of feeling. It's a nice spot to have a calm & peaceful meal. Anyways, it's good for a budget friendly meal, but I don't want to come back here regardless...

Best ramen in MTL! Generous portions at a fair price. I suggest trying the Gold Kome Chasu. (I took the spicy version) It doesn't come with eggs, but you can add any extras you desire. 5 stars ⭐️😉

Ordered the recommended dish Cha-Su with Gold Broth. Gold broth is supposed to be rich in flavour, but I personally found it was very overpowering with ginger flavour. Ordered the miso egg which was great, but the kimchi was also overpowering with ginger flavour. Noodles were ok. Not sure why there were potatoes (maybe a MTL thing) & sadly not a green onion in sight. Cha su was very delicious though. Not a fan of bean sprouts in my ramen. Great service & nice atmosphere.

This place is a very unexpected surprise... Located in such an unassuming spot, with not much of an attractive ambience. The first impression when I entered this place wasn't so welcoming as it didjt have a good smell. Me being so sensitive to smells, a gud smell always impress me more. The place was small with limited seating but surprisingly getting filled back to back... So, naturally I decided to try out the food...

Very sweet server & he helped us to decide on what to choose... Ramen quantity was biggg & tasted great too... Gyoza didnt impress much but not bad... Couldn't finish the whole bowl, so had to pack off... Do try their gold ramen which is more flavourful...

I was told by a friend that Misoya was the best ramen shop in Montreal...but all I found was disappointment.

First of all, I want to get it's best positive out of the way immediately. The service was great, the lady was courteous, attentive & very friendly.

Now that's out of the way the not so good points... the ramen.. noodles were acceptable, the toppings were mediocre at best..but the broth was too salty...I had the Silver Spicy Shoyu, while my girlfriend had the Golden Tokatsu. Both broths were very salty... but she had over five full cups of water throughout the dinner..

Also a huge negative here was the music blaring from the speakers..also for a Japanese restaurant, the musical playlist was very weird...from anime theme songs, to j-pop, to j-grunge, to metal..All blaring non stop...made it a bit too hard to get a conversation going. Also the decor was very...bland...& un-japanesque...

So yeah...is Misoya the BEST Ramen restaurant our city has to offer?
My personal opinion it would be no, but maybe you'd like it?

Try it out for yourself.
