Review Summary

Ramen Nakamichi draws strong praise for authentic ramen with rich broths, springy noodles, generous toppings and a calm, cozy vibe that makes it feel like a quiet corner of Japan in Montreal. Several reviews rate the bowls as among the best in town, with favorites including thick noodles, a silky tonkotsu or yuzu chicken broth, and well executed chashu, while noting generous portions and good value. The service is repeatedly described as friendly and professional, and the atmosphere is praised as relaxed and inviting, with some comments about a lively or quiet dining room depending on the time. Yet a number of visits report inconsistent execution such as cold eggs, lukewarm broth, and toppings like raw onions or arugula that clash with the ramen, or occasional miscommunication between kitchen and staff. Overall the consensus places Ramen Nakamichi as a standout ramen option in Montreal, with many calling it the go to spot for a comforting bowl and dependable experiences, even if some visits fall short of expectations.

Walked in on snowy Sunday & found a gem! My partner had the Yuzu Chicken, light but flavourful & not salty. I had the Spicy Tonkotsu, a sold spice for someone that eats very little spice.

Cozy vibes & feels like I'm in Japan. Not rush it, bring your kids.

Good atmosphere with original decor & nice music. The chicken broth ramen was really good, not too heavy with a generous portion

The ramen was hot & tasty but it was a pretty small bowl. They do have chicken broth. The restaurant was really under staffed there was just one girl doing the entire front of house & she was clearly overwhelmed at lunch rush.

I love soup noodles. So it's not surprising that I would fallen for this ramen-ya that we chanced upon wandering around Mile End of Montreal - a far flung Mile End that I'm used to in London, UK. This modern clean lines decor looked more like a Japanese tea shop from the outside. It is summer & they have advertised cold ramen on a placard outside. Once inside, I saw the big poster for the Tokyo style (chicken soup) ramen. A bit of disclaimer, I had already had a Canadian omelette (with chilli) & some poutine classique from two well known establishments in Montreal this morning - & this shop has just opened at 11.30 am with a queue of eager eaters. I thought we have to give it a go - even if it is just a snack. The summer cold noodle was refreshing. The slightly citrus taste lifts the pickled veg. I liked it, but the main event is another level. The chicken broth & the ramen were delicious. The noodles had the right level of chewiness. They were soft & smooth. I know it's not right in the western culture to slurp - but these were made for slurping. & as a lover of Japanese food - I felt obliged to do them justice - for the benefit & respect of the chef! Try them & you will be delighted!

I didn't love it but I didn't hate it. Service was great, no complaints there. The broth itself is great, as were the noodles. I've never had chicken based ramen before but I'm a fan. I got the rouge, & it had a lovely warming level of spice without being overpowering. The noodles were also wonderful: chewy & springy, not overcooked at all. Arugula is frankly not good on ramen. I ended up eating around it. I ordered mine without the red onions, maybe they'd be good. But to me, putting diced red onions on ramen doesn't sound appealing at all. I'm glad the menu mentions their appearance. The egg was slightly overcooked & I see other reviews mentioning this as well. It's served whole, so they obviously can't tell beforehand, but I appreciate that you get the whole egg. Some places only give half. The pork was tender, it lacked any noticeable char but still tasted great. There was a very small amount, but you can order the "premium" to get an extra portion of pork. Their prices are marginally cheaper than other places in the neighbourhood, but it seems like their portions are slightly smaller as well. I'd go again but ask for no arugula or red onion.

Very nice cozy ramen shop. Had their ramen tampopo & the broth was clear, light, yet satisfyingly comforting. The extra egg, yuzu & vinegar ginger help elevate the flavorful broth with a bit of acidity & earthy notes. Also took the karage which was a delight. The chicken is seasoned well, crunchy & juicy. Can't wait to try the tsuke-men next time!

Very good broth for the ramen, the fried chicken appetizer comes with a nice sauce, was great. The Yuzu1642 soda was great as well, I liked it more than Ramune. The staff was very nice. Happy new year!
