Sumo Ramen is widely praised for flavorful broths, generous portions, and a diverse menu that includes both classic and inventive ramens plus vegetarian options, with homemade kimchi and chili crisp singled out as house specialties. 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. The restaurant's Chinatown Montreal location is described as lively and convenient, offering fast service and good value for money, and many diners say the dishes hit the spot on cold days or after a long day of sightseeing. 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.
Cette critique s'appuie sur une seule visite dans ce restaurant. Pour le repas, j'ai commandé des raviolis japonais & une soupe aux fruits de mer. J'ai apprécié les raviolis même si je ne me suis pas régalé. Quant à la soupe, je l'ai trouvé bonne, mais dispendieuse (16,50$ sans les taxes à la consommation). En ce qui a trait au service, je l'ai trouvé rapide & courtois. Deux points négatifs par rapport au service : on peut se faire accueillir par un triste « Bonjour-Hi » dans ce restaurant & le serveur m'a demandé si je voulais ma facture (alors que la loi exige qu'il la remette à tous les clients).
C'était EXCELLENT ! Je recommande fortement ce restaurant, tout était délicieux ! Je n'ai jamais mangé aussi bon de toute ma vie, c'était simplement parfait ! À chaque bouchée j'avais l'impression de découvrir ce qu'il y avait au-delà du paradis. C'était la première fois que je goutais la cuisine japonaise & je m'avoue pas déçue du tout ! J'y retournerais n'importe quand !

Tres bon restaurant, simple, convivial.
Bons goûts d'Asie.
On a été invité par des amis qui sont des habitués de ce restaurant. La soirée a été agréable & & nous avons connu le bon Ramen.
C’est une amie qui nous a suggérer d’aller à ce resto. Naturellement cette amie est une fan du ramen & moi qui aime bien découvrir les choses j’ai voulu essayé ce resto. La journée même, je n’avais pas envie de ramen donc j’ai pris les pépites de poulets frits. Le plat n’avait aucun goût sans la mayonnaise qui venait avec, mayonnaise qui ne me tentait pas vraiment car le plat était déjà très gras sans avoir besoin d’en rajouter. Le plat était aussi très petit & ne contenait que les pépites de poulet frit, donc pas d’accompagnement comme légumes ou autres & dans le menu il n’y a aucun plat d’accompagnement que l’on peut rajouter pour compléter le repas. Au final, j’ai été un peu déçu mais si j’y retourne ce sera pour essayer le ramen, en espérant que ça me plaira plus que cette dernière fois.
One of the worst restaurant experience EVER really!
When we arrived, we were asked to sit close to the kitchen. I asked why, as it's really hot outside so we want to sit outside the a/c. so the waiter reluctantly sat us closer to the window with a/c on.
Once we were handed the menu, we started looking at the menu. The waiter came to us repeatedly to see if we were ready to order. We felt a little rushed, but we didn't think much of it.
We ordered a shrimp curry rice & jumbo sumon noodles. The whole plate of curry rice has only 4 tiny shrimps & the curry had no vegetables on it besides that. The miso soup that came with it tasted a bit too salty, but the bowl is super tiny because it came with the meal. & the salad was a tiny plate too.
My jumbo sumon noodles did not have twice the amount of noodles as regular one. & the bowl of noodles was super oily. I said I wanted a jumbo regular soup, but they charged me $1 for miso soup seasoning noodles. I never said that but I paid the extra charge anyway because the waiter was accusing me of something I didn't say, & I didn't want to argue for $1 & keep my date waiting.
We were also told we could not have tea cuz it's extra $2 & ask us to pay for extra $2 for the tea when I ask why.
The entire Montreal Chinatown has tea included as part of the meal serving & they asked to pay extra for everything. Definitely NOT WORTH your money!!! RUN!! Don't EVER go there!
For the bill being $30, I feel I really should have gone to a store besides it so that we would go to all-you-can-eat Yamazachi sushi on St-Laurent 2 stores down.
WORST experience EVER, will NEVER repeat in my lifetime!!! & you should think twice before going!!!
OVERPRICED & MOST DEFINITELY VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. Also, the food is okay & MOST definitely not worth it!!

I am Japanese descent & I grow up on Ramen which is my favourite dish.
I just moved in to town & was craving for a good Ramen. We went to Sumo Ramen & wow.... I could not eat at all....
I tried other dishes, but I could say, this is not a authentic Japanese Restaurant.
Quelle expérience! Mes 2 garçons & moi furent comblés par le choix, par les portions généreuses, par l'ambiance & le sourire contagieux de la gentille servante. Il est évident que nous retournerons (& plusieurs fois) déguster des mets qui délecteront nos palais impatients de renouer le nirvana gastronomique !!!
