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.
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.
This place is legit! Great ramen. Calm, peaceful, clean atmosphere. This location is calmer than the other one- if you're meeting someone here, make sure you know which one you're going to! The other location was crowded & there was a wait, but this one was pleasantly not busy. I ordered the shoyu ramen & the $1 add on spice, which was really spicy! Me & my friend ordered the spice, we could have shared it though.

Pour avoir voyagé au Japon & goûté à de nombreux ramen sur place, je peux dire que ce restaurant s'en rapproche vraiment beaucoup en termes de saveurs. Le goût est authentique, les plats bien préparés. Excellent rapport qualité-prix & un service agréable en prime. Une belle découverte que je recommande !
Sorry, my photo has a partially eaten bowl of ramen. It smelled & looked so good I couldn't wait! One of the better, & more authentic bowls I've had in a while. Right on the street & easy to find. We lucked out & didn't have to wait. Thank you!

Le décor est très beau. Le service était excellent. J'ai échappé ma baguette par terre & elle est venue très rapidement la ramasser. Le ramen était bon & la portion très généreuse. J'en ai eu pour 2 repas, mais je ne mange pas énormément. L'entrée de maïs était surprenante & délicieuse. En plus durant la semaine du Japon, il y avait 15% de rabais. Avec un thé, une entrée partagée, le ramen, les taxes & pourboires cela m'est revenu à 26.70$!
Service was super quick (5 minutes wait for two bowls). The ramen I had was very savory & flavourful. The place is well kept & staff is kind & helpful towards dietary restrictions.
My family & I visited Montreal just last week & we visited this amazing Ramen location. I don't usually take the time to leave too many reviews after trips, but this place deserved it. The ramen was amazing, even the kids devoured their bowls. The Sake selection was great as well. A+ experience. Thank you!
