Reviewers describe Tori Ramen at the Royalmount food court as a strong ramen option with a diverse menu including tonkotsu, shoyu, miso, shio, kara ramen and rich mazemen. Broth is repeatedly praised for depth and richness, with noodles and toppings generally solid, though a few visits note a thinner or saltier broth and pork slices that resembled bacon. The eatery is appreciated for good miso, well-balanced flavors, and presentable, flavorful bowls, while some want more pork, more marinated eggs, or bigger portions. The service is friendly and the atmosphere modern and polished, with praise for the terrace and overall experience. A few comments call for minor adjustments to utensils and price, but the consensus is that Tori Ramen is a top, repeat-worthy spot to explore different bowls in Montreal's Royalmount area.
It's alright. There's so much better around the city. Been twice & tried 2 different ramen, & both were overly salty. & price/serving is slightly higher than much better places. But then again, I guess this place caters to the rich & posh that go to royalmount.
I'm into authentic good quality ramen & this wasn't it at all. The tonkotsu broth had a watered down onion/garlic powder taste with none of the complex umami simmered pork flavor. The pork was some tough bacon slices, not the flavorful tender thick pork belly you'd expect. The noodles were also relatively low quality. Even the kikurage didn't have its usual crunch, it felt like maybe it wasn't fresh. Oh, & there is an excessive layer of flavorless fat on top. Good tonkotsu should have flavorful fat emulsified in the broth, not a super thick layer floating on top that's gross.
Le ramen tonkotsu au porc est vraiment délicieux & réconfortant. Je recommande fortement ! J'ai récemment essayé le ramen Sapporo noir (son goût me rappelle le chapaghetti), mais le tonkotsu reste mon préféré. & j'aime que les nouilles soient légèrement al denté.
Tried three ramen-Shoyu, Shio, & Miso-& each one was excellent. The broth was rich, flavorful, & well-balanced, just like an authentic Japanese ramen shop. However, I felt the addition of more cabbage & bean sprouts (moyashi) would enhance both the presentation & authenticity.
The karaage chicken was crispy & tasty, but with only four pieces per plate, I was hoping for a bit more. A slightly larger portion would definitely make it more satisfying.
One small issue was the chopsticks-they were a bit thick at the bottom, making them less comfortable to use. A slightly more tapered design would improve the experience.
The ambience inside the restaurant is great, with comfortable seating in the new mall location. The pricing is slightly on the higher side, but considering the excellent taste, it's still reasonable.
Overall, a great place for ramen lovers in Montreal.......will definitely return.
Saw this place while visiting the food court at Royalmount. Prices were ok. $20 for a bowl of Tonkatsu & $19 for Shoyu. Both were good but the chashu, although tasty, was sliced like bacon & way too thin. Also there were no proper textured ramen chopsticks or spoons. They give you a regular tablespoon which is way too small for a bowl of ramen. Service was friendly efficient. Would go back. Hopefully they will make some of the minor adjustments.
The ramen is good.this place is inside of the new shopping mall in Montreal'RoyalMount'. & the ambience is refreshing.
The broth of the ramen is so good..
It's the best Japanese ramen I've ever eaten.

I had the Kara ramen, asked for extra spicy & it was really delicious! I ended up drinking up all the soup. It was that good. I'd love to try the Tonkotsu next time :) should try this place !
Tried the tori paitan (rich chicken broth) & enjoyed it. It was the perfect balance of richness & saltiness. Caramelized onions were a nice/unique touch. The chicken slices were not too dry but didn't taste much. Portion was good with plenty of noodles.
