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.
Dans l'ensemble, Tsukuyomi Ramen ressort comme une adresse chaleureuse et authentique avec une ambiance ludique et une décoration qui transporte au Japon; les portions sont généreuses et les ramens variés, le tonkotsu et le miso étant souvent salués pour leur bouillon riche et leur texture des nouilles; le service est généralement rapide et sympathique et l'équipe se montre compétente sur le menu, ce qui rend l'expérience agréable et conviviale, surtout lors d'une visite sans réservation mais avec la recommandation de réserver pour éviter les files; certains plats vegan ou certains accompagnements divisent, la vegan ramen pouvant manquer de saveur et certains bouillons ou garnitures pouvant sembler gras ou peu assaisonnés selon les cas, tandis que d'autres commentaires célèbrent des saveurs très abouties, comme le ramen à la viande et le donburi; l'ambiance demeure une des forces, avec une atmosphère calme ou animée selon l'étage et des décorations qui ont du caractère, et les clients louent aussi des boissons comme le saké et le lychee cocktail; dans l'ensemble, c'est souvent décrit comme l'une des meilleures expériences ramen à Montréal, avec des plats authentiques, un cadre agréable et une volonté d'ajuster les options selon les préférences, et il est fréquemment recommandé de revenir.
First time at that place. The reviews were good & the ambiance is quite interesting ! Liked the place :)
I took the vegan ramen & my partner the Mazamen.
The mazamen was good, the ramen though was lacking a lot. Canned corn was underwhelming... adn the broth was really bland.
Also, my partner had trouble digesting the mazamen... I'll spare you the details.
I wanted to like this place, but there are far better vegan ramen options in Montreal. Liked the noodles though, they were great.
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.

Kara-age was so perfectly crisp & juicy but my ramen was served with thin noodles that looked like angel hair pasta, probably the worst option for ramen. It's my own fault for not asking for specifics because one of the ramen said'thick' noodle which I assumed was udon or similar. Turned out thick was standard ramen size & thin was an abomination. The broth was also a bit fatty for my taste. The chasu was one of the best I've had, thick cut, juicy, & sweet & the shiitake was a revelation, get extra if you go. I also had the raw salmon side & it was good, nothing spectacular but nice sesame flavour. If I went back I would focus on the sides & try the donburi. For atmosphere I found it too bright.
One of the best ramen in town: creamy smooth broth with 2 big pieces of chashu & silky ramen noodles. Love the decorations. The staff are very friendly. Food is served fast & timely. It's definitely one of my favorite ramen places
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!

Soup was decent! I had the ramen! The noodles were the star of show! The serving size was average! Service was alright. The staff weren't very warm! Not sure I'd come again, though the decor is nice!
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.

very nice ramen place!! it's an extra dollar to make the ramen spicy 😭😭 & the portions are kind of small but the noodles are tasty. they have a nice happy hour promotion that's worth checking out!!
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.
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.
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 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 had the fried gyoza, edamame & 2 ramen for me & my girlfriend. As well as a tea & cocktail. The gyoza was nothing to talk about, I don't think it's worth ordering just felt old frozen gyoza. Edamame was okay. The ramen broth was good, noodles good as well, i like mine a bit more undercooked but good nonetheless. The pork was not charred which i think they should & it did not felt very tender. It was more chewy towards the end of the bite & dry. Service was good, our waitress was a bit monotone but maybe she had a bad day, she still took our order correctly. The other girl that brought our order was very nice & smiling when she was at our table which she doesn't have to but it is still pleasant. One thing that bothered me is that both of them went multiple times at our table to see if we were alright as if we were being rushed for some reason. We stayed maybe 45min tops from the time we entered the restaurant & left. & the restaurant was not full which i don't understand why they would need our table.
I have tried the calamari, edamame, vegan miso, & vegan soya ramens. Vegan miso was not to my taste, the way they present the miso as a topping is not very appetizing & it was not tasty either. The noodles for soya ramen & miso ramen are different, the soya is thin noodles & miso is a bit thicker. Calamari, edamame & soya ramen are good, the service is good too, buttttt the toilets are disgusting. I have been here 3 times & it shows that they have not "Really" cleaned the toilets for years. So if you go to the toilet & then wanna eat it will make you question the hygiene of the kitchen.
It falls short in delivering the culinary excellence expected from a traditional ramen establishment. The flavor profile of their offerings is somewhat underwhelming, not fully capturing the rich & nuanced taste that aficionados of Japanese cuisine might anticipate. Additionally, the pricing for add-ons, such as extra noodles, is notably higher compared to similar establishments in the area. Their spicy noodle costs more simply for the inclusion of a separate spicy sauce. Given the burgeoning landscape of quality ramen houses now available locally, this place struggles to stand out. When considering both taste & value, it is two stars in my opinion, not recommended.
