Reviews consistently praise Sansotei Ramen in downtown Montreal for flavorful broths, fast service, and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere, with many noting the broth depth and generous portions, especially in tonkotsu and miso varieties. Several diners call it the best ramen in Montreal and appreciate reasonable prices and attentive staff who can accommodate dietary restrictions. Some visitors find the menu limited for non pork eaters, though the chicken ramen with spicy sauce is a recommended option. A few visits at this location reported less impressive results, citing bland broth, overcooked noodles, and very thin chasu, and one experience on the terrace where insects interrupted the meal. Overall, Sansotei Ramen is viewed as a strong, dependable option with praise for depth of flavor, quick service, and a pleasant setting, though experiences can vary by location and by menu preference.
Walked in with no expectations. Was pleasantly surprised by the food - the 2 vegetarian options - but more so by Everen's service. Impeccable. Took the time to guide us through the menu & make suggestions. That s what s bumping my rating to 5 stars, gg Everen!
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!

A very accessible ramen restaurant located in downtown Montreal, just a 5-minute walk from Guy-Concordia metro station. The atmosphere is calm & pleasant, & the staff-often Japanese-are very friendly.
I do find the menu a bit limited for people who aren't big fans of pork, like myself. However, there is a chicken ramen that I've had twice & highly recommend, especially with the spicy sauce you can add for $1.
Prices are quite reasonable. If you enjoy ch?sh? (braised or marinated pork slices, belly or shoulder), there are three options to choose from depending on your taste.
I've been a big fan of sansotei over the years & this was my first time at the Mackay location. Unfortunately, it didn't measure up. The tonkotsu black was bland - both the broth & the chasu pork lacked the full rich flavour I was used to & the noodles were slightly overcooked. The chasu is also sliced super think like a cold cut so the value is not there either. No one came to ask how we liked it. Maybe this is the sad reality with multiple franchises but I won't be returning to Sansotei again.
I was warmly greeted by a friendly staff when I first arrived.
For someone with a seafood allergy, the staff was incredibly helpful in guiding me to safe ingredients for my ramen. It ended up being delicious & everything I was craving.
