Tsukuyomi Ramen specializes in the authentic preparation of thick, creamy tonkotsu broth crafted from slow-simmered pork bones. Each bowl features house-made noodles with a firm texture designed to hold the rich, flavorful soup base effectively. Toppings such as tender chashu pork, marinated soft-boiled eggs, and crisp nori provide a balanced combination of textures and umami profiles. The preparation process emphasizes traditional Japanese techniques to ensure consistent quality across every serving. Diners encounter a focused menu that prioritizes the structural integrity of the broth and the specific hydration levels of the artisanal noodles. This establishment maintains a clean, minimalist environment centered on the efficient delivery of piping hot noodle dishes prepared with precise attention to seasoning and ingredient sourcing for maximum culinary impact.
Tsukuyomi Ramen is widely regarded as a charming and authentic destination in Montreal, often compared favorably to ramen shops found in Japan. Patrons frequently praise the flavorful, rich broths and high-quality ingredients, particularly highlighting the crispy karaage, tender chashu, and satisfying vegan options. The atmosphere is consistently described as cozy, cool, and beautifully decorated, providing a fun and unique vibe that enhances the dining experience. While most visitors enjoy the efficient and friendly service, occasional feedback mentions varying wait times or inconsistencies in broth seasoning. Overall, it remains a popular choice for those seeking a genuine and memorable meal in an inviting setting.
Easily the best ramen in Montreal. It reminds me a lot of the flavorful ramen I had many times in Tokyo.
The yuzu nanban chicken is crispy & slightly spicy, but the sourness refreshes your taste.
The tonkotsu ramen, oh heaven, is so flavorful. The texture of the broth is both creamy & clear! The pork is in good portion, & amazingly doesn't have the smelly pig smell that many ramen shops in Montreal have that really turns people off. Truly well done!
Japanese night out with a friend to talk travel-& fuel up right!
I went for the Tonkotsu Ramen: rich homemade creamy pork bone broth with thin noodles, chashu, green onion, kikurage, egg, & nori.
She chose the Maze Men: cold brothless noodles topped with salad, tomato, crispy onions, a poached egg, & tender chicken.
Comfort food, great company, & future adventures on the menu!

Staff, service, & ambiance were all fantastic. The place is very cool looking & has a fun vibe. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy the food. I ordered the spicy tonkotsu ramen with chashu. I found the broth to be boring & lacking depth of flavor. It was also extremely oily & salty, I felt like I was being fed spoonfuls of bacon fat. I have had tonkotsu ramen many times, & unfortunately this one ranks close to the bottom. The pork belly was salty & the piece of meat was mostly fat. If that's your thing, this is the place to be. The spice adds a much needed balance in flavor to the broth. The portion size is adequate. Although the people are very nice & the cool vibe, I would not bother coming back to this place again.
We went for Mtl a table. The entrées were very good & I was surprised how delicious the calamari were. The bathroom was dirty. Unfortunately, my husband got food poisoning from the pork ramen.
Out of all the ramen restaurants I have been trying out in Montreal these last few years, Tsukuyomi is the ONLY one that nailed the ramen, vibe, service, alcohol & pricing. We went for a friends birthday & the ramen was so good, even the vegetarian option looked amazing. Would recommend to anyone & would gadly go again soon (especially after trying other ramen places that were very disappointing). Update: had the chashu pork today & it was amazing!
Not very good. Had their original pork ramen. It was kinda sad. Broth was alright but not much in the bowl, pork seemed close to expiring, noodles clumpy. No choice of thin or thick noodles presented. Decor is nice. Wait staff seem elsewhere. The big ramen chain Kinton down the street does it better. Was hoping this would have a more artisanal vibe. But it seems just as loveless a place.
Funky Ramen place with young crowd. I actually had the Donbori rice bowl with pulled pork & it was very good! I'll be back to taste the Ramen next time around!
A japanese jewel in downtown! We tried it once & we couldn't stop ourselves from becoming a regular. It tastes fresh & flavorful, & the presentation of the dish is on point. You can take an appetizer & a small rice (with braised pork or deep-fried chicken) for lunch & it will be more than enough at a fair price. Service is also warm & kind. This is your place to go if you're craving good-quality ramen or rice for a good price.
