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.
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.
We were being greedy. After a big Japanese lunch, we came across this ramen-ya. It has the similar Kinton Ramen feel - even similar metal cups? However our experience this time here compared to KR is very different. I love the yellow noodle that they use. It's a little curly, smoother & springy compared to some of the other ramen-ya that have more straight noodles. I don't know why not more noodle shop would use this type of ramen. The broth is more intense than KR for sure. A little more milky than Neotokyo which was already very good. The grilled charsiu was probably the best we had on this trip. The service was quick & efficient, but not much more engagement. That's ok. I respect that it's a place to have a quick bite. Apparently there are another 2 branches. Will have to try them next time.
I'm a fan of Ramen & so far in Canada this one is the best for me among all ramen restaurants that I've tried. Great service from the lady crew & ambiance is great.
The service was exceptional, & the food was superb. The Gyoza served as a flavorful & crunchy starter. For the main course, the Tonkatsu ramen with thin noodles & extra chashu was delightful. The portion size was just right, making it an ideal choice for a chilly evening.
Food that makes your belly happy! One of my favorite restaurants in Montreal. The ramen is just delicious, been there multiple times & everything was perfect in each one of them, staff is really nice & the place is really pretty.
Amazing ramen, perfect for a rainy day! The dark miso ramen was redolent of garlic, full of mushrooms & pork, peppery but not overly spicy. Partner's tomato ramen was also full of umami.
