An exceptional product clearly prepared with pride & quality.

The Tonkotsu pork is the best that I have experienced. Slow cooked, lightly seared, tender & bursting with flavour.

Service was friendly. Beverage options include local Japanese-style beer. Several sake choices are offered.

The ramen ingredients were well balanced & tasty. Noodles seemed fresh & had great consistency.

The bar bench at the front window offered pleasant people-watching on a busy Sunday.

Bilingual service.

Not my first time at Sansotei Ramen, but first time trying the miso black, & I have to say it is phenomenal. Really balanced depth of flavor yet so rich & I felt it is best with the thick noodles. Will definitely order again.

The only reason I am giving a 4 star (but, in reality, it really is a 4.5) for the food is because I felt that the noodle portion could've been a bit more (maybe it was a one time thing).

Ordered tomato ramen here, clearly not freshly made, tasted bad & the whole broth was cold including everything but the noodles. Complete nonsense.

Clean affordable ramen shop. Noodles are not handmade & the tonkatsu broth today was a little thin , lacked fat & depth & needed tare. I'd be willing to bet the milky color came from milk & not pork bones that had been boiled for hours. But it was good. The egg was cold , like fridge cold & the chashu was very thin. The gyoza was devine.
They're tonkatsu is probably as good as it's going to get with dry noodles & the broth. & if your OK with that it's just fine . Service was excellent & the place is modern & clean.

Superb! Can you imagine flavorful broth without being salty? I recommend the thick noodle. Pork had good grill flavor & was lean. I would come back for the ramen but probably pass on the fried chicken & gyoza next time.

Sansotei Ramen in Montréal is a gem! Conveniently close to my work, & I always order the Tonkotsu Black-it's rich, flavorful, & never disappoints. The broth is perfectly balanced, noodles cooked just right, & the staff is friendly. Cozy atmosphere & consistently excellent ramen. Highly recommend!

The ramen was delicious & flavorful. The broth had a depth of flavor that was intriguing & kept us eating. The meat was very tender & the noodles absorbed the flavor of the broth, were cooked perfectly, & in good quantity. The servers were kind & fast with their service. On a final note, the black milk tea was amazing! We would eat here again:)
