The Tonkotsu Ramen has a delicious broth, chasu just breaks in your mouth & the egg was delicious. I even got extra chasu & extra egg & I finished it all, well worth it!
Food came out quickly too.
Came with co-workers & everyone said the same thing about the food
Jolie restaurant avec une bonne cuisine (mention spéciale pour le chashu Tonkotsu). Portion largement suffisante sans excès.
& surtout, un excellent service !
A (re)-tester !
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!
We've been to the Bois Franc branch a few times, & this was our first visit to the Bishop location. We happened to be there during La Semaine Japon, so with 20% off the mazemen, we decided to give it a try. We ordered the chashu mazemen & the chashu asari shio ramen. As always, the service was quick & the ramen did not disappoint. We especially enjoyed the creamy, rich mazemen. The asari shio ramen had a clean, clear broth-refreshing, though we still personally prefer the bold, classic flavour of their tonkotsu ramen with black garlic oil. Still, this remains one of our favourite ramen spots in town.
Cool interior design! The appetizers we ordered, spicy kara age & Takowasa, were delicious. The tonkotsu ramen with chashu & spicy miso was ok-- our friends preferred the mazemen & ordered take out for late night snacks. I personally thought the mazemen was a bit sweet with the peanut sauce. Overall, I recommend the atmosphere & yummy appetizers!
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.
