Reviewers describe Shushuto Bar à Ramen + Tapas as a stylish, cozy spot with a vibrant atmosphere and a diverse menu that covers sushi, ramen, bowls and vegan options, with generous portions and creative twists like carbonara udon and duck mazemen. Drinks, including cocktails and saké, are often praised and the decor and overall vibe are highlighted as standout features, making it a popular choice for date nights, gatherings and brunch. The food generally pleases, though a few comments point to inconsistency or items that feel pricey for the value, and some desserts or plates are disappointing. Service is frequently described as attentive and friendly, with fast and helpful staff, but several visits mention slow pacing, occasional ordering mishaps or loud noise in busy periods and parking can be challenging nearby. Reservations are advised for dinner, while lunch and brunch are easier to drop in for, and many reviewers express they would return to try more items given the variety and strong flavors.
Had a great time here! The food was great. We had the udon duck confit & the cheesy udon with beef. They were both very good plates, good portions (took some leftovers home). The duck was a little on the dry side but still very good. The drinks are so good! We had a strawberry mojito & an amaretto sour. Excellent. Waiters were super nice. It took a little while for our food to come, however.
All in all I would recommend!
Nice place for a more chic night out with friends or date, sort on the mid tier pricing when it comes to Japanese food, but the food can be a little hit or miss.
Have had the tsukement & Khao Soi dipping ramen before & it was delicious, definately some of my favorite from them, their duck is always really good as well.
Sushi fish is fresh, rice is done ok.
Was a little dissapointed this time with the katsu steak, the'self grill' new to the winter menu, it's quite minable. There's not much meat & the coating is rather flavorless & falls apart, it was also quite oily & moist so there was no texture to it. The sauces are ok, the miso butter is delicious, otherwise the'soy wasabi' doesn't really taste of much besides light soy sauce, the rest is just wakfu mayo.

It was fabulous. Noon on a Monday; there were only 8-10 other customers enjoying their lunch - so peaceful (more came in as we ate).. 70's music playing quietly in the background (our generation-we loved it). I loved my salmon tartare - delicious. He had the duck salad, which he also enjoyed. Our server was great. When we told him how much we enjoyed the music, he said it was his personal favorite golden hit's list. He said it was a totally different place in the evening - the joint would be hopping! I will definitely go back - but only for lunch.
My friend & I had a wonderful luncheon at Shushuto's on Saint-Patrick Street in Montreal.
We were warmly greeted at the door & were told to select the table we wanted. Our table service was prompt & in our own language, English, which we appreciated.
One of the real benefits of Shushuto's menu is that there's something for everyone, sushi, Asian bowls, ramen dishes, & vegan selections. I ordered the Mango salad with grilled duck breast, & my friend ordered the salmon tartare. Both were absolutely delicious & we thoroughly enjoyed them.
It should be noted that parking can be a challenge in the neighborhood of the restaurant, since there are more condo's are being built & reserved street parking is on the rise. Reservations for lunch at Shushuto are generally not needed but they are a necessity for dinner. If you do reserve for dinner, add more time to your commute to allow for parking.
Lunch at Shushuto was a great experience & one I hope everyone tries. I will definitely be back.
Went to Shushuto last night for an early Valentine's day dinner.
We had 2 of their signature sushi rolls to start, both large portions & delicious.
We then followed up with the katsu steak that you cook yourself at the table. This tasted great & also a great value. It is served with rice, a miso soup & several dipping sauces/butter to cook.
We ended with the duck confit yaki udon. Noodles were perfectly cooked & the duck was slightly overdone but still very good.
Overall a very pleasant experience. The place has nice decor, the waitstaff was attentive & kind, the food was tasty, & although the pricing is in line with most restaurants around, the portions seemed larger than expected. Would recommend.
Pretty place, welcoming service.
Crab Bao buns were messy & so deep fried & shelly that I had to force myself to eat one. I should have gone with a different filling. Tuna tartare was delicious but buried under mixed greens. The duck tsukemen ramen wasn't bad but the whole concept of dipping is not great in practice. I would have preferred having that broth option as a regular soup.
Sakepina was kinda mediocre. Saketini was sweet but went down easy. Orgasmique is a softer espresso martini. Nikka Old Fashioned was smooth.

Each time I've been to Shushuto I've had great food & service. We had the creamy cheese udon with chicken katsu, the smoked salmon & avocado French toast (I dipped everything in the maple syrup 🤤), & the duck confit mazemen!
The ramen here is very good. My wife & I had the chicken karaage & duck respectively. Both were delicious & very filling. The place is on the pricier side but worth it if you're looking for a really good ramen restaurant with some unique dishes. My only criticism is that it took a while for the waiter to take our order but it was probably a busy night.
We went there for supper. We the had the pork ramen & the duck ramen & they were both very unimpressive. We ordered the pork bao & they were also ok. Definitely a trendy spot & very picturesque but the food isn't their strong suit. As for the service, it was very slow & the waiters were always busy & hard to get their attention. Our experience wasn't bad but it wasn't good also, it doesn't help that there is no parking available.

The Shushu family opened its doors for the first time in June 2023, after two years of transforming an empty concrete box into a warm & welcoming space. The team worked tirelessly to bring you modern, trendy ramen - so you don't have to travel all the way to Tokyo! 🍜
Be sure to try our Duck Shoyu (winner of 1st place at the Ramen Festival, as chosen by the jury) or the creamy Udon Carbonara - you simply can't go wrong.
I had this spot saved on my Google Maps for months after seeing it online, & it did not disappoint! We made the trip from Ottawa, & Hands down the most flavourful ramen I've ever had (I got the duck one, & it was unreal). The bao lived up to the hype, we tried the pork, & the scallop sushi was next-level good. We also had the carbonara udon, which was delicious but definitely on the heavier side. Service was amazing, the staff were super friendly, & the whole place just had great vibes. Already planning my next visit!
Had the duck breast tsukemen, Japanese beef katsu. Overall seems pretty standard for a ramenya or katsu place, the gyukatsu had trouble staying together with the panko flaking off, but the dipping sauces were at least matching with the food, but nothing spectacular.
The duck breast tsukemen was also not too out of the ordinary, the duck breast was cooked very well, however the rest of the tsukemen was average at best. The noodles were on the overcooked side & the dipping broth was marginally saltier than what you'd expect from a normal ramen broth, making it hardly giving more flavor to the ramen or duck breast.
Overall while there wasn't anything really done wrong with the food, nothing really stood out either, for the price it's a little too pricey for the food, but overall okay.
Although a bit expensive, around 25$ for a plate, the portion is quite reasonable & filling. The service was friendly & patient. The waitress was filling our cups of water quite often which made us feel so privileged. The food itself had delicious flavours. I really enjoyed the soup of the tsukemen but I feel like it was a bit too thin of a soup/sauce which made the noodles not as flavourful as it could have been. I also really enjoyed the ratio of fat & meat of the duck but I feel like the texture was a bit chewy & tough for my liking. On the other hand, the cheese & cream udon also had splendid flavours. The first couple of bites are extremely satisfying but the meal starts becoming a bit too heavy making it hard to finish the rest of the meal. The steak was also pretty good but a bit tough & chewy as well.

We had the Japanese-Style Grilled Duck Breast Yaki Udon, & it was absolutely delicious, rich, savory, & perfectly balanced. The duck was tender & flavorful, & the whole dish came together beautifully.
The Sakura cocktails were a lovely pairing refreshing, floral, & visually stunning.
The ambiance was cozy yet modern, with a relaxed atmosphere that made the experience feel special. The service was warm, attentive, & made us feel very welcomed.
Highly recommend this spot for a nice night out or a cozy ramen date.
5/5 stars! Shushuto Ramen is an absolute gem! I'm still shocked they don't have a location in Toronto - it's a travesty! The food, however, speaks for itself. The Carbonara cheese udon with Fried sirloin Steak is a game-changer, & the Miso Sesame Udon with duck breast is pure perfection. But the real pièce de résistance is saving the best for last: the Green Matcha Soufflé Pancake. It's the ideal ending to an already incredible meal.
Food was awesome but the service was very slow. They took like 15min just to bring a bottle of wine. They also mixed all the bills & it took some time to fix them all. I'd definitely come back (the duck ramen is just awesome), but service should be improved.
