Overall, Sansotei Ramen comes across as a popular go-to for group dining and lunch, with rich, flavorful broths, generous portions, and a wide range of soups from miso and tonkotsu to spicy variants, plus well prepared noodles and tender chashu topped with a jammy egg. Service is frequently praised for speed and friendliness in many visits, though a few experiences describe inconsistent attention or moments that felt a bit pushy about tipping. The atmosphere is described as clean, modern, and cozy, and the restaurant is regarded as approachable for families and solo diners alike. Vegetarian or non pork options are appreciated, and the gyoza and fried chicken receive strong nods, even if some reviewers feel the prices aren’t cheap for the portions. Overall, Sansotei Ramen is considered among the best ramen spots in Montreal by many, with special enthusiasm for miso black and tonkotsu and a consistently solid experience across locations.
Les nouilles ramen étaient excellentes. Toutefois, notre serveuse était unilingue anglophone & ne parlait/comprenait pas un seul mot de français. De plus, sa collègue nous demanda de lui parler en anglais & argumenta avec nous lorsque nous lui avons fait part de notre volonté d'être servi en français.
I love Sansotei Ramen but specially the tonkotsu noir!
The only thing I find maybe annoying is the music. It's always the same.
I offered some playlist to the staff & they said they couldn't take it since they have a dedicated playlist but I think having multiple ones is always better than having the same playlist over & over.
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).
1 star for the gyudon, which is simply not worth it. 1% meat (with a lot of fat) 99% rice. Up the price a bit & give a reasonable quantity of meat or just dont propose this plate anymore. However, the ramen & fried chicken are good so i would suggest to try those instead, just dont order gyudon.
Starting to become my go-to ramen restaurant when going out with friends. The soup bases are sooo good. Any type of soup is good honestly. I just wished they had 1 type of soup with both bamboo shots & mushrooms (tree fungus) because they're both delicious.

Excellente expérience chez Sansotei Ramen Sainte-Catherine : le décor contemporain est intéressant & crée une ambiance moderne & agréable. Le service est chaleureux & attentionné, on se sent bien accueilli dès l'arrivée. Côté nourriture, le ramen est tout simplement délicieux - le bouillon est riche & savoureux, les nouilles ont une texture parfaite & le porc est tendre & bien assaisonné.
I always order the same mushroom ramen-it's consistently excellent, & the marinated egg is delicious. The service ranges from good to excellent, depending on who's serving. Definitely recommend!

On a adoré ce resto ! Ma fille adore les ramens alors nous sommes arrêtés par hasard. Le service est excellent & si attentionné. Les plats arrivent rapidement. Nous avions commandé 3 soupes différentes & elles étaient toutes aussi savoureuses les unes que les autres. Ma fille de 6 ans a mangé son plat pour adulte au complet, ça veut tout dire !
Bon ramen mais rien d'exceptionnel, dommage à lire les commentaires je m'attendais à mieux.
Le bouillon du Tonkatsu n'a rien d'authentique il est trop liquide, pas trop de goût.
Les gyozas étaient normales, j'en ai mangé des meilleures.
Par contre les ailes de poulet épicées avaient vraiment du goût relevées à souhait, seul bon point avec le service chaleureux.
We chose this restaurant based on Google reviews & it didn't disappoint. Friendly & welcoming staff, very well-served & delicious ramen. The gyoza appetizer was also very tasty & moist. The tonkotsu & shoyu ramen were both very flavorful. The mugicha wasn't great; it had a strange taste. My husband ate a matcha ice cream that was offered & he really liked it; it was very creamy. I don't like matcha, so I didn't try it.
