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.
This ramen shop was as quiet as in a library with books displayed everywhere. The ambiance was so Zen, that one could almost envision Tai Chi being performed atop a shelf. The waitress was calm & spoke gently. The ramen was crafted exactly as ramen ought to be.
Incredible bowl - rich broth, springy noodles, melt-in-your-mouth chashu, & that perfect jammy egg 🥚. The Ramune soda was a nostalgic, fizzy bonus 🥤. Cozy vibes & great service too!
Great ramen with flavourful, rich broth & great noodles. Hakata ramen came with a generous serving of meat & nori. Probably the best ramen I had in Montreal!
Lovely ramen spot with a chill atmosphere.
The value you get for the price is great, the ramen is filling, with lots of toppings & creamy broth. The side dishes were equally tasty. Overall solid amount of selection on the menu.
The restaurant itself is bright & quiet & the staff is very nice. We'll be coming back for sure :)
Très décevant pour un ramen de mtl si bien coter.. Le ramen goûtait bien le poulet mais ces tout aucun arrière goût. Le serveur n'est jamais venu me voir après que j'ai commander je lui ai demander de l'huile su piment fort & 5 min après il fesait sa contabiliter j'ai du lui rappeler , pour pas grand chose huile maison mais avec des piment si faible qu'il faut m'être plusieurs cuillère pour que sa commence à goûter un peu plus fort je ne recommande pas
Ambiance chill.
Possiblement un des meilleurs ramen de Montréal, en tout cas, un de ceux qui se rapprochent le plus de ceux que j'ai pu manger au Japon.
Grosse quantité.
I ordered the rouge premium, & it's amazing! Very thick & umami pork bone soup, paired with huge portions of chasiu, & a coddled egg. Highly recommend this place.
The menu is short & straight to the point. We ordered the spicy premium that came with tender pork that melted in your mouth, a jammy hard boiled egg & all the toppings. The broth was deliciously comforting. It may seem like a small bowl at first but it is a very hearty dish. Left feeling warm & fuzzy. We went on a Friday night & it was quiet, i believe this is more a lunch spot. I almost felt like we needed to whisper it was such a zen ambiance. Service was a little slow.
Our go to ramen, with reasonable prices! Their service is also very friendly. Edit : went 30 minutes before the 9pm closing for a quick ramen fix, fyi they warn you politely, basically telling you're better off somewhere else. Just a tip : don't come here near closing time!
I ordered Ramen last week on flight to NYC & then a roadtrip to Montreal. The Ramen was great & the restaurant & neighborhood was kool. The only downside was that they were out of takoyaki that night.
