Overall, reviews describe Sansotei Ramen as a reliable spot for rich, flavorful bowls with a preference for tonkotsu and miso varieties, the broth often praised as balanced and comforting, noodles cooked well and chashu tender, and eggs creamy or jammy in many bowls. The menu’s variety is highlighted, with favorites like tonkotsu black, miso black, and tomato ramen, plus helpful add ons like crispy fried chicken and well made gyoza. Service is frequently noted as friendly, fast, and attentive, though a few comments mention inconsistent service or pressure to tip and, in one case, cleanliness concerns described as a red flag. Value is generally seen as good, with generous portions and affordable prices, and the atmosphere characterized as modern and cozy, especially in downtown locations. Some reviewers mention vegetarian options or lighter broths and a few days when a broth may seem saltier or thinner, but the overall tone is strongly positive and many readers consider Sansotei Ramen among the town’s best ramen spots.
I would say that this Ramen-place is my favorite in whole Montreal: I'm eating here regularly for 1 year, Tonkotsu Ramen is awesome, as well as staff members! Also, you are able to find a free table at any time!
Sansotei never disappoints! We ordered the miso black & tonkotsu black & both were excellent (I personally preferred the tonkotsu but my husband liked the miso). The corn croquette was meh. The service was great, even when it got pretty busy. Would recommend!

I stopped by on a lunch break & was really impressed with this restaurant. The service was incredibly quick, which was perfect for a limited lunch hour. I ordered the Tonkotsu Black Ramen, & it was absolutely delicious!
Little crowed but food is really good & such friendly service there !! Always refilling our water & ask if everything doing okay!! Will come back again whenever I'm in the area, really enjoy their ramen there ! I tried their tonkotsu & the black miso ramens to eat for lunch ❤️❤️❤️
Been in mtl for almost 7 yrs. I've had my go-to ramen place but has been close for months already. Tried to find another ramen place that's close to my workplace & house, & I am so happy to share that this ramen place is a MUST TRY!!! OMG 😍 the tonkotsu black ramen was divine! The chatsu is so flavorful, the soup is undeniably sumptuous. Also, very affordable! 21 cad for a ramen with a glass of Sapporo!!! Perfect combo!!!!
Fantastic ramen. I had the Shoyu, & came back to try the black tonkotsu. Can't go wrong with either of those choices. The noodles have a nice texture & the broth is so flavourful. Definitely a place to try! Suggestion: Go with the thicker noodles
I was looking for a good place to eat & decided to get some Ramen from Sansotei as the reviews were good. I had the Tonkotsu Black, the portion was great & it was really flavorful. You should try this place if you are in Sainte Catherine

I don't know why I keep getting my hopes up for good Japanese food in Montreal. Had the black tonkotsu ramen. The broth was thin & didn't have the richness of tonkotsu broths I've had before. The mushrooms & noodles had a weird taste, like refrigerator. Pork was decent but overall the ramen lacked the complexity & richness of flavor I'm used to from better ramen I've had in NYC. Not worth the price.
