Ramen Youki

A nice addition to Montreal ramen scenery. Traditional Hiroshima ramen noodles. The karaage was delicious & the ramen noodles very different from what you can usually have at those commercial ramen places. A must if you're into ramen & izakaya type of dishes

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING!

I had one of the best times of my life at Ramen Youki. ❤❤🔥🔥

I started off with a pork onigiri & it was the best rice I've ever bitten into for an onigiri. That was the perfect way to start.

Then, it was on to the Hiroshima tonkotsu ramen. Their ramen is FLAWLESS: a broth prepared over 2 days, full of flavour yet light enough for you to consider ordering a 2nd bowl (which I did). I went IN.

They have plum wine which will always get me in the door (I'm addicted. Seriously) &, because the hits keep coming, they also have some amazing, privately imported sake. I wish I took some pictures but they brought out 3 different bottles & I got a glass of all 3. I've never had sake that went down any smoother than these.

Food is good (the most important), always, but service is what makes an experience truly unforgettable & that's what makes Ramen Youki shine the brightest. The waiter, Kevin, was awesome & the cook, also Kevin, is already one of my favourite people; conversation for days, super knowledgeable & just a beast to the craft (you've seen my ramen bowls. Come on now).

I wish I got the name of the person who brought the sake (the man from Hiroshima... You know what? Maybe I should just call him that. It has a legendary sound to it) but he was amazing as well.

The vibes here are just fantastic. I love the staff & I LOVE Ramen Youki. I'm coming back. Don't worry about that. I'm. Coming. Back.

Montreal, we were taking an impromptu walk on Laurier Est, where we happened to stumble upon this new ramen restaurant currently in their soft opening called Youki. We sat at the counter ordered their Tonkotsu ramen & we were immediately transported to Hiroshima where the original location has been opened since 1958. The broth was packed with flavor, the pork was juicy & that slurp of the noodles was perfect. Only open Friday to Monday for lunch come check it out.

Montréal, nous faisions une belle marche improvisée sur Laurier Est, où nous sommes tombés par hasard sur ce nouveau restaurant de ramen, Youki, actuellement en préouverture. Nous nous sommes assis au comptoir, avons commandé leurs ramen Tonkotsu & nous nous sommes immédiatement sentis transportés à Hiroshima, où le restaurant d'origine est ouvert depuis 1958. Le bouillon était plein de saveur, le porc était juteux & la texture des nouilles était parfaite. Ouvert uniquement du vendredi au lundi pour le lunch, venez y faire un tour.

Heard about this place online & knew I had to come check it out. The restaurant itself has a cozy atmosphere & everyone I spoke to was so incredibly kind, making sure myself & others were well taken care of.

I got the Hiroshima Tonkotsu. I've been to many ramen restaurants in Montreal & other Canadian cities, & this was the most comforting bowl of ramen I've ever had. The broth was amazing, rich, & just what I needed while sheltering from the downpour of rain outside. The marinated egg that I added was delicious & the yolk was jammy as it should be.

So happy to have such a delicious gem nearby, I will definitely be back :)

Happy opening!

Best Japanese ramen in Quebec Province?

Authentic Hiroshima-style ramen.
I'm usually not even a ramen person, but I genuinely love theirs.

I recommend going 5 minutes before they open at 11:00 to avoid the line.
