Overall, Sumo Ramen emerges as a reliable, popular choice in Montreal's ramen scene, though a few visits mention inconsistent taste or service after changes in location.
Great food for a Great price for this economy. Loved the options & that you can choose any noodle or broth to your ramen. The inside of the restaurant was very colorful & fun to match with the aesthetic of the restaurant food. Very fast service too.
I honestly make reviews on google rarely. But this place forced myself to make one. I just wanna say that the old guy who works there (i forgot his name) He was the sweetest soul. I came with my best-friend & honestly it was the best ramen i've had in Montreal!!! Such nice customer service, food is also perfect if ur worried about the broth being made with meat. You can choose ur broth to be vegetarian. I took miso soup with panko shrimp. It was like so freaking yummy!!! I think this restaurant deserves the hype a lot. Thank you soo much for the service. It was not even uncomfortable it was very nice & pleasant.
The food was good but nothing more. All the plates were small & a bit cold, which made me doubt if it was fresh. The ramen had more noodles than broth & also not so hot. The decor is nice.
Generous portion of mushroom with ramen, very tasty. 3 choices of broth (chicken, pork, seaweed) Only 16$ + tax
Extra charge for miso
Top it off with some chili oil & it's even bette
The miso broth was incredible, the food came out super fast & the waiter was very kind & welcoming. Would come back any day it is hard to find ramen so good in this city. Was so chill & waiter was so nice it felt like eating at someone's home.
The ramen here was simply exceptional-a rich, flavorful broth complemented by perfectly cooked noodles & fresh toppings. Every bite was a blend of savory & umami flavors, & the warm, inviting presentation added to the overall dining experience. The friendly & attentive staff made it even better. If you're craving top-notch ramen, this is the place to go!

Stopped in for ramen during our stay in Montreal (my favourite)! Sumo Ramen blew me away. I had a vegetable ramen with miso broth & my fiancé had the spicy beef stew ramen & we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The staff was super kind & let us in last minute for a bite to eat. I10/10 would recommend eating here. Gonna have to convince my fiancé to come back tomorrow!!!
Great Ramen, the shoyu broth was packed with flavour although I wish there was more of it, toppings were great too, boiled egg was cooked just right & both the unagi & pork belly were delicious. Definitely recommend
Ramen restaurant in the heart of Montreal's chinatown. The ramen broth was ok, the soup was not as thick as what I'm used to. The noodles were like instant noodles texture. However, the beef was delicious! It wasn't the typical ramen meat but more of a Chinese style. The place felt a bit cramped, also there was no AC.

EDIT: Since I'm dumb - the owners were kind enough to tell me that the'expiry date' on the Soju is a sale date from SAQ, rather than an expiration date. So I've deleted that section - thank you!
Yeah .. this one didn't do it for me. Not worth the trek up the stairs.
Right from the start our server was super unfriendly. She barely looked or spoke to us the whole time.
I could typically overlook the crumby service, but the Sumo ramen was ok at best. It was all noodles, no toppings. It desperately needed more seaweed, bean sprouts, anything aside from more noodles. It even could use more broth. The broth itself was fine. The noodles were fine. It was all just OK.
I would try somewhere else. There was nothing special here, unfortunately.
I had the pleasure of dining here while on at a convention in May/June 2025.
The broth(I had chicken based Sezhuan (sp?) broth) & YES!!!! It tasted like homemade broth! The noodles were fresh made & tasty. Very good value for the price. I went there twice.
Feels like a hole in the wall but it's delicious! got the mushroom ramen & my partner got the beef ramen. Loved that the broth & noodles could be customized. They thoughtfully ensured my meal was vegetarian with all ingredients which I appreciated. Absolutely delicious!
I tried the ramen goberge. The broth was good & ingredients but I do find the ramen lacked flavour dept. I know some customers enjoy the taste & finds it flavourful enough, so it is a good ramen spot for someone who likes the taste. The service was impeccable same for atmosphere

I had the grilled chicken ramen bowl & the broth was mind blowing. The chicken had the perfect char & had that smoky flavour. 10/10. The tempura was excellent. Katsu curry was also decent.
Sumo Ramen delivers an excellent dining experience with their rich, flavorful pork ramen & warm, friendly service. The broth is perfectly balanced, with a deep, savory taste that complements the tender, melt-in-your-mouth pork & fresh noodles. The toppings, from soft-boiled eggs to fresh vegetables, are always on point, adding texture & flavor to each bowl. The staff is welcoming & attentive, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. Sumo Ramen is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic ramen & great hospitality!
I had the miso ramen & my friend had the shoyu ramen. I can't stress enough how uninteresting & bland both broths were. Very small portion of chashu, but at least it was tasty. Noodles were fine. The "ramen egg" was just a simple, plain hardboiled egg. I've tried close to 20 ramen places on the island & this is one of the very few bowls of ramen I didn't like enough to bother finishing it, extremely disappointing. Service was ok, we received our food pretty fast. The first glass of water they give you is warm to make you buy a cold beverage lol.
