Reviewers consistently commend friendly, attentive service and a welcoming, comfortable atmosphere that blends traditional Japanese and modern design, with several noting the bright, recently renovated space on the lower floor.

Standout orders include miso or tonkotsu based ramens, spicy beef variants, and well-executed sides like karaage, gyoza, and appetizers; some note that the price can feel high for the size, while others remark that the broth, noodles, and toppings are consistently satisfying and customizable. 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 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
Ma fille & moi avons adorées leur ramen. Le bouillon est savoureux & le poulet grillé accompagne bien le tout. La brochette de tofu est succulente. Le serveur a un accueil chaleureux. L'accès est un peu caché puisque c'est au deuxième étage. N'hésitez pas à gravir l'escalier, le goût en vaut la peine.
Un très bon restaurant de Ramen.
Il serveur situé au 1er étage
Quand on ne connaît pas, le serveur prend bien le temps d'expliquer. C'est vraiment très bon. Vous ne vous tromperez pas en allant manger pas bas . Top.

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.
This place is an absolute gem! The staff is incredibly friendly they took the time to explain all the different ramen options & toppings, which made the experience even better. But most importantly, the ramen itself was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this spot & will definitely be coming back very soon!
