Tsukuyomi Ramen

Bad experience. The waiter forced us to have starters & the main dish Ramen at the same time. I explained to him that we would like to have the starters first & then the Ramen. He just wouldn't do it & try to give me some weird explanations. Attitude. If you like this restaurant I highly recommend you go to their other location like the one in Mile End.

Very unique & cute ambiance. The food was great, & so was the dry sake.

After coming back from our honeymoon in Japan, my wife & I started noticing a painful pattern. Every ramen place we tried felt like a messy remix of a beloved classic, the kind where the original melody is there somewhere, but it's buried under auto tune, unnecessary bass drops, & one guy yelling his producer tag every ten seconds. Technically ramen, spiritually off key.

Funny thing is, we had actually been to Tsukuyomi Ramen before our trip. We liked it at the time, but we didn't quite understand how good it really was. Then we went to Japan, got spoiled silly, came home, & bounced from one disappointing bowl to another. By the time we circled back to Tsukuyomi, we were honestly scared that it would disappoint us too. Nothing hits quite like the fear of discovering your old favorite was only good before you knew better.

So we went back to Tsukuyomi anyway, hoping for the best & bracing for heartbreak.

The bowls landed, my wife took one sip, & she delivered the verdict we'd been chasing.'Japan good.'

Not Canada good, not almost there, not good in a nostalgic way. Actually Japan good. The broth has real depth, the noodles have the right bite, & the entire bowl finally matched the harmony we remembered from the ramen shops we visited on our trip.

& as a bonus, they are also the only spot we have found in Montreal with actually good Yuzu beer. Not a knockoff citrus beer pretending to be fancy, but the real crisp refreshing deal that pairs perfectly with a proper bowl.

It turns out Tsukuyomi had been the real deal all along. We just needed the round trip to appreciate it.

If you have been mourning the loss of proper ramen since coming back from Japan, this place is the one that finally hits the right chords. For us, it was like rediscovering a favorite record & realizing it always sounded better than the remixes.

The ramen was good. The service was a little slow, but still good.
I liked the decorations & that the upstairs level has more of a quieter vibe

Déçu par les ramen vegan. Des tomates cerises dans des ramen... C'était acceptable pour le prix mais nous n'y retournerons pas.

Very big portion! Ever generous for the meat. But it's not the best tonkotsu I had.

Par le passé, le goût du bouillon du ramen était exceptionnel. Cependant la recette que nous avons goûté lors de notre dernière visite semble avoir changée. Le bouillon goûtait peu, semblait dilué en goût & épaissi avec un épaississant. J'espère que la recette originale sera de retour. Ce n'était pas un délice comme par le passé.
