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.
This place is a total comfort-food win. The tonkotsu ramen is rich, creamy, & deeply flavorful, with a broth that clearly took time & care to perfect. Every sip feels warm & satisfying. The fried chicken is just as impressive. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, & perfectly seasoned. Together, they make a dangerously good combo. If you're craving authentic, well-executed ramen with standout sides, this spot is a must-try.
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 😋

Profoundly mediocre.
Ramen - 2/5
Good: Presentation, toppings, egg well prepared. Pork slices are average.
Bad: Served lukewarm, noodles overcooked & had no bounce or texture, broth is heavy but flavourless (even with garlic oil it was pretty bland)
Karaage: 3/5
Good: Its chicken
Bad: Disapointing texture, not crispy, oily
Service: 2/5
Staff made us wait to be seated when restaurant was not particularly busy. It seemed like they needed to wash tables, but they seated us at one that was already clean. Staff gave us an extra topping on a side plate by accident, then took it away.
Atmosphere: Sleek & modern but accent lighting in cool LEDs is a bit much, genuinely hurts the eyes depending on how you're seated. Good music.
Sansotei Ramen est tout simplement divin : des plats frais, des portions généreuses & des prix excellents. Il y a aussi une belle variété de choix au menu. Une expérience à ne pas manquer !
We tried Sansotei Ramen for the first time & it didn't disappoint! The soup was delicious & the ingredients were fresh. We also tried the Zangui chicken & it was really good.
Sansotei Ramen, no matter which one you go to, never fails to amaze. They serve the best ramen in montreal. period. It is not just good for a montreal ramen, it is good amongst the japanese ramen. This ramen shop tastes just like japan. They only lack alcohol free beer, which is not enough a downer to substract stars.
