Overall, the reviews describe Sansotei Ramen as a flavorful and reliable option with a range of broths and toppings, including mushroom, chicken and pork ramens and vegetarian choices, with standout tonkotsu and miso and the option to add spicy sauce; the atmosphere is described as cozy and pleasant in downtown Montreal, with fast and attentive service often praised, though experiences vary by location and a few visits note slower service or less satisfying bowls. Many diners call the ramen tasty, well balanced and good value, some labeling it among the best in town, while a minority mention issues such as overcooked noodles or bland broth at specific locations and limited menu choices for non-pork eaters. Overall, the impression is of strong flavor, solid service and a convenient spot for a quick, satisfying ramen meal.
Great Ramen restaurant in downtown Montreal! Staff was very kind, provided great service, & gave helpful recommendations about the menu. I got the Tonkotsu Black, my partner got the vegetarian option, both of which were tasty & filling. They also had a few Japanese beer options, which were wonderful. I would definitely recommend!
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!

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.
One of my favorite ramen spots in Montreal Sansotei Ramen stands out with its flavorful options & cozy atmosphere.
I ordered the Black Tonkotsu Ramen, which came with chashu (charred pork), wood ear mushrooms, soft-boiled egg & a black garlic oil that added an incredible aroma & depth of flavor - 10/10.
I also tried the Black Miso Ramen, which had a bold miso & mushroom profile. It's a bit thicker & saltier, perfect if you prefer a strong, hearty broth, with tender pork belly & egg - 9/10.
The space is warm & cozy, great for couples or small groups, though it might be a bit tight for larger parties.
Located right in the heart of Montreal's Asian food hub, surrounded by Japanese, Korean, & Chinese eateries, Sansotei is a place I'll definitely be returning to. Highly recommend!
Worst service ever, the waitress acted uninterested & didn't allow us to move the chair just a little bit while the restaurant was not busy at all & we were the only customers eating on their terrasse! Food is meh, compared to the sansotei ramen we went to in Ottawa which offers more options & better service. We may consider visiting the other locations of this chain, but we'll never come back here again.
I definitely a visit to this location if you are craving for ramen in downtown Montreal. They have many options to offer & after trying a few, I can definitely say they are tasty & have me coming for more. It definitely has its misses in terms of the umami & the noodles, but all together, I can go in here whenever I have a craving for ramen & don't want to go too far away from downtown.
This is an excellent ramen spot. I've ordered from here several times & I have never been disappointed. Recently my partner & I dined in the restaurant, & the seating was quick & comfortable. Our server was attentive & quick to serve our dishes. He offered many drink options, but we were fine with water. The food was superb. I ordered the spicy tan tan. I was not disappointed. The portion was filling, & the split between spicy & flavor was perfect. Next time, I would like to try their appetizers. All the servers were super polite & quick. I will definitely be back to dine for many more occasions.
