Sansotei Ramen draws broad praise for rich, comforting bowls with well balanced broths, generous portions, and friendly service. Reviews note a diverse lineup including tonkotsu, miso and shoyu, with standout variants like tonkotsu black and crispy chicken sides; noodles are frequently described as pleasantly chewy and satisfying. The atmosphere is described as welcoming and cozy, with the Royalmount location repeatedly highlighted for its layout and vibe. Occasional drawbacks include slower service during openings or busy periods, occasional miscommunications with orders, and some bowls that can be too salty or the pork a bit tough, but the overall sentiment is very positive and emphasizes value and consistency. Overall, Sansotei Ramen is seen as a reliable destination for ramen lovers in Montreal, encouraging repeat visits and exploration of different menu items.
Dropped in for lunch on a quiet Tuesday.
Although attached to the big swanky mall, but you have to step outside to get here.
Very somber atmosphere, every restaurant in this chain look alike.
Nice variety of ramen, but my usual is the spicy tonton with fine noodles.
As expected, the broth was rich & just spicy enough. The egg yolks were creamy enough to mix into the broth, which I love. The chasu was good, fatty but not too much. Everything was well balanced, but I feel like I was a victim of shrinkflation, because if I remember the last time I went to a Sansotei the bowl was bigger & I had more than one piece of chasu. But I could be wrong. Either way I was stuffed.
I love that they have unsweetened iced tea 🤩.
Service was great, fast & efficient.
Definitely a great place for ramen.
Stopped by the new Sansotei Ramen at Royalmount today for their grand opening! Since they were offering 50% off all ramen, the place was packed & the vibe was very high-energy, though the space itself is a bit small & felt quite crowded.
?We ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen & the Black Tonkotsu Ramen. Both were excellent-the broth was rich & flavorful, easily the highlight of the meal. Because of the opening day rush, the service was definitely on the slower side & it took a while for our bowls to arrive. However, the quality of the food made up for the wait.
?Once things settle down after the opening craze, this will be a fantastic spot. We'll definitely be back for that broth!
Lousy service, ignorant personnel that doesn't bother to come & take you order. It takes an eternity to get your food on the table despite 4 people working in the kitchen for a small restaurant. They don't even bother to bring your drinks unless you ask for it. The couple near us just left after 45 minutes of waiting for the ramen. We are also beyond 45 minutes... for 1 bowl of ramen!
Very disappointing & frustrating experience.
The service was extremely slow both times I visited. I ordered a set meal but only received one bowl of ramen while others waited. The chicken wings had feathers on every piece, which is unacceptable. I won't be coming back.
I went there a few weeks ago & was very disappointed. First off the service was terrible, very slow although the place was not packed. We ordered 2 entrees & 3 ramens. We received 1 entree, but not the second one. Then 2 of the ramens we had ordered arrived but not the 3rd one. I figured they were still preparing it so I waited. After 10-15 mins, I tried to get the waiter's attention but no luck. By the time he finally came over to tell him we were missing a ramen the 2 other people were almost done with theirs, so not a great dining experience. I told the waiter about the missing ramen & I also told him that we were also missing an entree that we had ordered which were the chicken wings. He went to the kitchen, came back & said the kitchen had made a mistake & had forgotten to prepare the 3rd ramen. He then advised me that the chicken wings were frozen so that it would take more time for them to be ready. I told him that he should have let us know about it, we could've ordered something different, instead of making us wait there. In any case, they finally came with the 3rd ramen so I start eating (this was well over an hour after we ordered). One of the people I was with told me to stop eating that there was something in my bowl. I look & find a long piece of tape. I call the waiter back & show it to him. He looks confused & just grabs my bowl. I told him to also show the piece of tape to the people working in the kitchen. They all stood around that piece of tape, looking at each other, as if they were looking at something that was out of this world. The waiter came back & asked me if I wanted another ramen, I told him no that we've had been there for long enough, that the experience was horrible & everyone else I was with had already finished eating & digesting their meals at that point. Oh! & to top it all off, the waiter wanted to charge me for that 3rd ramen. I had to tell him to remove it from the bill because i didn't eat it.
They did try to offer me free food, but at that point I was done. The whole experience & my dinner was ruined.
Needless to say, I will not be going back there & will not recommend to anyone.
Usually not a big fan of ramen, but I must say, this is one of the few places where I manage to finish my bowl! The broth was savory & deliciously light. Will come again 😋

Went for a quick eat-&-run with the fam before heading straight home.
It was around 7 p.m. on a Sunday at Royalmount, & the place was calm since it was close to closing time. The Japanese theme really set the vibe cozy, simple, & relaxing.
We started with Gyudon, which was rich, savory, & full of flavor. Then came the ramen bowls: Tonkatsu Black Ramen with thick noodles & Miso Black Ramen with thin noodles. Both absolutely hit the spot!
A comforting meal to wrap up the weekend. 🍜✨
