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.
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.
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...
Excellents ramen situé juste à côté du musée des beaux arts. Il y a trois options végétariennes au menu avec tofu frit très savoureux. Le prix est tout à fait abordable, ce qui devient de plus en plus difficile à trouver. Foncez y!
Pretty cozy intimate spot, the ramen & broth are delicious, great for a gathering of 6 people max I'd say or an intimate date. I've been going since 2016 & it's still my favorite ramen spot in mtl if you have a chance you should try it especially if you go to concordia or dawson which is pretty close by.
I really was not impressed with the broth. It felt like they gave me the bottom of the batch, which was way too salty & too concentrated for my taste. Disappointed that they didn't have any gyoza which I understand happens but I showed up pretty early at lunch time.

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.
Came here around a year ago & forgot to write a review. This is the first place I ever had ramen & it was so good! I recommend Misoya to any of my friends visiting Montreal, & intend to go next time I'm back :)

The food has always been amazing, but this time the girl was amazing. I was traveling & I didn't have any charge on my phone & she lent me her charged & let me stay till it was charged. She was very sweet & understanding.
First time having Ramen, & it was delicious!! We ordered take out & it was quick, the service was already really great. We will definitely come back next time we are in Montreal.
