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.

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!

Flavorful ramen with tasty, hearty broth & generous toppings. Service is quick & friendly. Cozy atmosphere, though it can get crowded during peak hours. Great spot for ramen lovers.

good ramen for good price. Third time coming here. Definitely recommend getting the ramen with a couple toppings like egg, pork or whatever to make it more interesting (base flavour gets boring after a while) silver shiro spicy

My spouse & I are vegetarian & we are always on the hunt for excellent vegetarian ramen. Ramen Misoya hits it out of the park. Every fan of vegetarian ramen should make sure to check out Ramen Misoya when in Montreal. I got the Tantan, my spouse got the silver with an egg. Both were outstanding. Excellent flavor, toppings, noodles, etc. 👌

You have to go down a flight of stairs to get in & we were a bit nervous with our stroller & 5-month old. But the staff was incredibly helpful & it was not a problem at all.

Pretty typical ramen place - not about the ambience, it's about the food.

Honestly best ramen I've ever had. Great portion sizes, great broth, great noodles, great toppings. It is a bit of a hole in the wall but holy moly, bar = raised.

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.

Tied for best ramen in Montreal for me. Delicious broth, tasty ramen, some kind of tempura tofu & some other non-identifiable but super-delicious toppings floating around. The staff is 100% Japanese & the service is what you would get in Japan. 13$ tax & tip included for lunch. Great! We'll definitely go back & often! (2013)

Wow, how things have changed in 2018. Quality went down & prices went up. 21$ for ok ramen. Not going back.
