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.
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
Plutôt fan de Pho que de Ramen, j'ai pri le ramen Hakata Tonikotsu & je me suis régalée avec le bouillon, les fines tranches de porcs, les nouilles etait délicieuse & les quantités tres génereuses. Je reviendrais !
Kind of a ghost town, don't know why. Overall it was really good, the broth is really tasty. I'm not a huge fan of thin slices of pork, it feels like it's designed to buy the premium dish & get more. But the premium tonkotsu was great.
I gave this place a couple of chances but in the end I have to admit I won't go back. The broths are lacking in flavors to my liking, but the porc is ok although nothing crazy & the thick chewy noodles are pretty good. That would have been 3 stars for me, but what brought it down to 2 is: who wants their ramen served with a spoonful of raw red onions & arugula? I certainly don't. Also the men's bathroom sink could seriously use improvements. Overall it is okay I guess, but definitely sub par & I personally didn't like it very much.

Les plats sont pas mal. Les nouilles froides au citron sont bonnes.
Mais le service laisse a désirer. Le serveur nous a proposer de changer le porc des nouilles en poulet ou champignons sans préciser qu'il fallait payer pour ça.
Visited on Sun Aug 3rd 2025 at 3pm. We found this spot as it was of the only spots open as most restaurants close between 3pm-5pm. We had a group of 14 & they had seating available all in one long table.
Food was great, service was good but the delivery needed work as there was a lack of communication between the kitchen & our server as our orders were being mixed up & they didn't know who ordered what even though we had a number, seat & per family seating arrangement to make things'easier'
Entrés totalement par hasard, en quête d'un endroit calme pour dîner entre deux rendez-vous professionnels - & entre deux averses - nous voilà dans un lieu que les jeunes qualifieraient d'« instagrammable ».
Visiblement, le coup de feu est passé : les clients sortent plus qu'ils n'entrent. Parfait pour savourer un bon bol de ramen au calme. Le décor est épuré, je remarque la mention Bar de ramen qui amène un ton sobre, discret & raffiné pour la place.
En entrée, le traditionnel takoyaki : ces fameuses boules croustillantes à souhait, avec leurs morceaux de pieuvre brûlants - comme à chaque fois où je me précipite sans attendre, me brûlant le palet, puis me maudissant moi-même. La sauce apporte un bel équilibre, & les copeaux de bonite séchée rehaussent le tout avec élégance.
Pour le plat principal, ce sera le Tori-Paitan : un ramen au bouillon blanc, soyeux & parfumé. Il est garni de fines tranches de porc cha siu, de roquette, d'oignon rouge, de champignons kikurage & de naruto. Cette fois, je prends mon temps. Chaque bouchée est pensée. Les graines de sésame apportent une profondeur subtile au bouillon, déjà riche & savoureux.
On y retourne ? Très certainement. Il y a encore bien d'autres bols à explorer.
