Ramen Nakamichi is described in reviews as a highly regarded ramen spot with rich, flavorful broths and authentic Japanese fare. Diners praise generous portions, the karaage, the chashu, and thick noodles, and the broth is often highlighted as memorable, with some notes about a salty edge or a jammy egg that is not always hot. The ambiance is described as cozy and authentic, with friendly service and good value compared to other Montreal options, though a few visits mention slower service or issues with toppings and bowl size. Overall, the reviews portray Ramen Nakamichi as a top choice for ramen in Montreal, with many intending to return and to try other menu items.
I have been to this restaurant several times & I really love it. The quality of ramen is perfect & the taste is authentic & the same taste as ones I had in Japan. I appreciate their professional service.

I got the red Tori-paitan & asked for extra hot. The ramen came lukewarm, the broth was incredibly thick (felt like curry/pasty texture), the egg was cold, & it wasn't spicy at all. I question their choice of toppings. I read another review from 4 months ago & they mentioned the exact same thing about the Tori-paitan. Overall, not the restaurant for me, but I do hope the business improves.
I always love finding Japanese restaurants which are truly authentic. Always a great sign if the staff speaks Japanese. :)
Food was absolutely delicious (& I eat a lot of Ramen) - we had the Karaage & spicy Tonkutsu Ramen, the broth was amazing! Haven't tried other items of their menu yet, will come back!

I've given this place several tries over the past year, but have been consistently disappointed. My hard-boiled egg was cold at the center, & there were a bunch of large & roughly-chopped stale-looking red onions covering my ramen, which was pretty unappetizing. Overall not the best ramen you can get locally.

We wanted to try a new ramen spot, but sadly the ramen itself was disappointing to us.
We ordered the spicy tori-paitan & the hakata tonkatsu. The flavors were simply underwhelming compared to other ramens we've had & I wasn't a fan of the noodles texture. The tori-paitan also had some strange toppings: raw onions & arugula?! There were customization choices on the menu, & we could choose to have the ramen extra-hot. However, the ramens arrived lukewarm. It did not help that the added toppings, especially the egg, were very cold.
I did like the ambiance of the restaurant. The bathroom was outdated though, with separate faucets for hot & cold water.
Overall, this experience did not fill our ramen craving. In comparison, Tsukuyomi ramen close by was much better.

I eat here every week, never get tired of the ramen. Good price compared to other noodle shops, & you can tell all the recipes are authentic. Would especially recommend the karaage! 😋
Very delicious & authentic ramen noodles. Very warm & detailed services. Make sure you try their ramen d'été, it's soooo good I had it two bowls in a row
