Japanese Ramen restaurant. Specializes in Fukuoka style Tonkotsu Ramen. Home made creamy Tonkotsu broth, organic, totally Non-MSG. Also serves some small side dishes and Japanese beer.
Overall, reviews describe Tsukuyomi Ramen as a visually striking, cozy space with Japan-inspired decor and a lively vibe that many find engaging, though a few note it can be noisy or busy; the staff are repeatedly praised for friendly, knowledgeable service and speedy attention, with reservations recommended during peak times. The ramen earns widespread praise for depth of flavor, well-balanced broths, and generous portions, especially tonkotsu and miso varieties, while some bowls are described as excellent and others as good but with room for improvement, such as noodles or the egg in certain dishes or the vegan ramen not meeting expectations. Appetizers like gyoza and karaage are commonly liked, and the beer or sake offerings are highlighted as a nice pairing, with the location noted for value and consistency compared with similar spots in Montreal. A few reviews mention changes or inconsistencies over time, or preferences for certain bowls over others, but the overall sentiment is that Tsukuyomi Ramen provides an authentic feel and is a standout option for ramen in the area, with plans to return.
2yr ago I walk passed while it's closed, so I'm excited to give it a try also as my local friend was recommended! Here is the review Tonkotsu Ramen Egg is well done! Chashu(pork) is nicely done as well Noodle is good! Broth is good & I wish there is more! Portion of this is right, lots of flavour in it! I'm a big fans of takoyaki, sadly it's probably the smallest I've seen, the flav is alright, it's bit too crispy & dry, assuming it's deep fried than the traditional way, I would not recommend this.
such a lovely & cozy restaurant! the interior design is very original & remarkable, which is perfect for taking pictures. we were a group of 6 & were immediately assigned a seat on the upper floor. the entire place is a bit narrow but it's very comfortable nonetheless. the ramen was delicious, & the cheesecake slices were satisfying enough. would definitely return!

Well decorated & nice atmosphere ! The ramens were great, & they were options for vegetarians/people who don't eat pork - which isn't always the case !
Très belle décoration dans le thème Japon. Nous avons super bien mangé & le service était rapide. Il y a des plats en petite portion si jamais nous n'avons pas beaucoup faim, ce qui est pratique.
Découvert durant la semaine du Japon en mai 2024. Un décors insolite & amusant pour ce restaurant japonais spécialisé dans les ramen. Penser à découvrir les ramen froids en été. Mais je recommanderai que pour les ramen froids, ceux-ci soient servis avec le bol de sauce à part pour que l'on puisse y tremper les nouilles au fur & à mesure de manière traditionnelle. Un choix de nouilles de sarazin y serait aussi bienvenu.

Very good ramen place! We loved the flavours in both ramens. The only thing I'd change is the topping quantity - you don't get a lot of common toppings like bamboo shoots. You get half of an egg, one sheet of nori, & one slice of chasu. Feel like ramen places usually give you at least two slices of chasu or a full egg. It was also $1 to change the thin noodles to thick. $8 for 4 balls of takoyaki is also a bit expensive for my taste but all in all, everything was still very good & would go back again. Service was friendly. Food came out quick.
One of the top Ramen places in Montreal. The ramen is unreal The service is great & friendly I do suggest reserving a table or calling ahead to see if they have space as it is very popular.
Best ramen I've had in MTL so far with great service. A true ramen experience. Amazing tonkotsu broth, some of the most flavourful & tender chasu I've ever had. You can really taste the marinade in it. They also do a great egg, can tell by the colour that it's at least a 24hr marinade & not simply soft boiled. Noodles seem to all be thin noodles (no thick option from what I could see). Also a great selection of sake & funky atmosphere. One thing to note, their black garlic oil is actually roasted garlic oil. So the colour will be golden & not black (the way it would be if it was fermented black garlic). It is still very very tasty but I think they should update their menu to reflect the difference, just so folks know.
I wish they had more options with chicken & vegetarian. The vegan ramen options were too good. I am sure the ones with pork broth would be great as well. Worth a try!

I found the place by chance & was drawn in immediately by the unusual angular walls that greet you in the entrance. While small, this place had the best atmosphere of any ramen shop I've been to; if you're lucky, you can get a seat at the second-floor bar overlooking the street. We were seated at a table on the second floor by the friendly staff, & we ordered a bowl of karaage fried chicken with rice, a bowl of original chashu tonkotsu ramen, & a bowl of chicken tonkotsu ramen. The food amazed each of us. The tonkotsu broth was so creamy & flavorful, & the green onions made it smell so much better. The meat for both the pork & the chicken was tender & delicious, & the noodles filled me up. We finished up the night with a celebratory round of cold sake shots. Much appreciation again to the warm & excellent staff making our evening fun & exceptionally pleasant.
I took a rice with karage, so the rice was seasoned but very bland.... The karage on the other was great very tasty very crispy I loved it. Also took the chashu ramen which is a bit small for the price, the broth was very rich, the noodle was very bouncy
I got the chicken donburi & it was the best I have ever had. Husband got the chicken tonkotsu spicy. He was able to add more spice as the sauce was on the side. He raved about the broth. The server was so polite & nice. He gave us drink recomendation which was super helpful. We would definitely come back. Finally a good place to eat!!
