Les avis sur Ramen Nakamichi décrivent globalement une expérience ramen authentique et généreuse, avec des bouillons riches, des nouilles fermes et des garnitures appétissantes qui font souvent l unanimité et incitent à revenir; plusieurs commentateurs louent l ambiance calme et le service chaleureux, ainsi que la perception d un savoir-faire japonais et des portions généreuses pour un bon rapport qualité-prix, certains recommandant particulièrement des plats comme le ramen tonkotsu et le karaage. Cependant les expériences ne sont pas toutes identiques: quelques critiques pointent des oeufs servis froids au centre, des oignons frais ou des garnitures qui ne plaisent pas a tous, des bouillons qui manquent parfois de profondeur, des nouilles trop fines, des prix parfois juges eleves et un service parfois lent ou peu attentif. Dans l ensemble, Ramen Nakamichi est evoque comme l une des meilleures adresses de ramen a Montreal, avec une offre variée et une atmosphere qui rappelle le Japon, tout en restant perfectible selon les assaisonnements et la constance du service.
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!
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.
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 :)
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.
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'm a bit mixed about this place. On one hand, it's charmingly decorated, & the broth & noodles were quite decently good. However, the toppings, like arugula & raw onion, felt a bit odd to me, & the service left something to be desired. To put it simply: I wouldn't mind going back if a friend suggested it, but I wouldn't go out of my way to return on my own.
Favorite ramen place in Montreal, they stand out with some relatively unique options, their broth is delicious but doesn't feel too heavy or greasy, the ingredients & how these are prepared give the dish a premium feel, other places with more typical tonkotsu ramen tend to leave me feeling heavier with everything kind of blending in together (broth overpowering other ingredients) whereas it feels more balanced here. Highly recommended, prices are also fair.

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!
Their Tokyo Shoyu ramen is easily one of the very best , right now, in Montreal: you had the textbook flavour profile, an elite broth as well as some of the very best noodles to be found at a local ramenya. I wish the chashu would knock my socks off, but theirs is still a perfectly legit chashu (in Japan, ramenyas have all sorts of chashu. You may prefer some more than others, but there's not one firm type of chashu but plenty).
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.
Love this place, disregard the 1 star reviews. Broth is excellent, & is in my top 3 in MTL. I go to one ramen shop for a quick in & out lunch, to another for a better broth despite it being very busy. & I come here for some quiet, calmer outing, plus it feels like a more "personal" experience with the chef & the waiter. I'll be leaning towards this one more with the family as it's easier to talk & involve the toddle
Updated review 7 years after : old brand, new location, new recipes. Not the same thing... broth was decent. Noodles were good. Chasu was super thin, very basic garnishments, eggs... eggs my god! Hard boiled eggs they were! See picture. Original review 7 years ago : You do not know what real ramen are until you try this place. If you want fat pork & lots of salty noodle go to Mosiya. If you want the real stuff check this place out!
