About us
UMAMI RAMEN & IZAKAYA is the very first fully vegan ramen restaurant in Montreal.
Thanks to the import of a Japanese machine for making noodles, the establishment makes its own homemade noodles from organic wheat, in addition to making its broths, Tsukemono, kombucha and sprouts! The restaurant offers several varieties of ramen and small classics of Japanese Bistronomy in a vegan version. Whether we think of okonomiyaki, gyozas, Agedashi tofu or even tempeh Tonkatsu, Cédric and his team are happy to present to you every day, from starter to dessert, these revisited Japanese classics... just a few exclusives straight out of our kitchens. And who says Izayaka, of course, says refreshing beers, sumptuous wines, intoxicating cocktails, delicate sakes and other fine wine products. At Umami Ramen, we experience cruelty-free gastronomy at its best!
Our Specialties
Ramen, Tsukemen, Wafu Salad, Shishito, Korroke, Okonomiyaki, Homemade fermentation, Homemade dessert, Private importation of Sakes & Cocktails.

I loved what I ordered, Shoyu'Tokyo Style' ramen is really amazing!!! Could use a little bit more broth but overall really really yummy & great portion, very full after! The starters, karraage, gyoza & tofu agedashi, so good!!!!! The tofu agedashi was my favorite & korrokke my least favorite. It's a great place to order many starters to share with your friends & family!!! Even my non-vegan friends & fam loved the restaurant! The mocktails in my opinion aren't that great, but maybe they're also just not to my taste. Ambiance is amazing! Super cute & cozy! Love it!
Little side note, the wooden chairs aren't very plus-size friendly or disabled friendly, seriously was in pain the whole time I was there, my butt all squished by the chair hahaha & i'm a size 12-14 which is a pretty usual size. :/ & most of the restaurant has this as seating.
But overall, the restaurant is great. Especially the food that makes it all worth it!

Calm atmosphere, great staff, & DELICIOUS food & cocktails. Their ramen bowls are packed with flavour. The gyoza were amazing too. For drinks we got a highball & a drink that had beet in it, & they were really good. They had a very nice presentation, & very good flavours. Definitely recommend & would like to come here again.

A beautiful place, felt good the whole time. Amazing selection of sake & whiskey. Food is excellent, probably the best ramen bowl I have ever had outside of Japan. Would totally come back, cute place for a date as well!

The food is really amazing. The service is also exceptional. I felt it was a bit dark in the restaurant, & the tables are not really intimate because you are really close to others, although it did not ruin my experience. The tapas are amazing. The Ramens are also tasty, but not the best one in Montréal.

Entrée : Dumplings : Dé-li-ci-eux
Repas : Ramen miso : Très bon
Drink : Bitoruto - modifié tequila sans alcool : Ma-gni-fi-que (mais petit & dispendieux)
Service agréable & chaleureux, mais un peu lent.
Ambiance, bien, mais au assise au bar avec mon amie - côte à côte - c'était difficile de s'entendre parler.
Prix : abordables, à l'exception des cocktails
Difficile de se stationner autour avec l'opération déneigement - ce n'est pas de leur faute - mais je suggère les transports en commun.

It was just delicious! We ate the Karaage & "steak-egg" made with enoki, the ramen Tokyo style & the donut with vanilla ice. The quality of the product, the tastes & the creativity behind this menu is amazing. We already want to come back to try de "menu dégustation". It's all vegan & a great experience even for omnivores.

I really wanted to like this place but every dish we ordered except for dessert was unsatisfying. The broth for both ramens we ordered was bland. The karage had a very unpleasant texture. The shishito peppers were undercooked. The gyoza & wakame were only okay. Coming from Toronto, I must say it left me feeling super underwhelmed. Service & ambience were otherwise great. But food is most important so I was still bummed.

The vegan ramen was filling & amazing. the staff & service were good too. The waitress at the end gave us a homemade donut at the end on the house & it was so delicious. I'm definitely going back to get it.

Très belle expérience! Nous avons opté pour le menu dégustation & avons été totalement séduits. Des mets fins & savoureux. Nous y retournerons certainement pour essayer les ramen. Super chouette d'avoir une telle option de restos sans viande. Le service est aussi à la hauteur, tout le monde était sympathique. Pour nous, un sans faute. Merci!

Les meilleurs ramens à Montréal, tous styles confondus! Leur menu est juste assez varié, les saveurs incroyables (la quantités d'aliments faits sur place est impressionnante). TOUT est délicieux, je recommande fortement!

A trendy & charming vegan restaurant with a cozy atmosphere. I really wanted to like this place. The entrees were delicious but I wish I could say the same for the ramen. It looked so appetizing but it was very salty & lacked depth. Unfortunately the service left something to be desired as well. It took long to give our order & to receive it. Our waitress would disappear, I suppose because it was busy, but then passes by without making eye contact. It took so long to catch her for another cocktail I ended up just skipping it. The overall experience fell short of expectations.

Absolutely incredible vegan ramen spot. The restaurant is intimate & cozy & everything tastes absolutely delicious. The staff is very professional & attentive. You must absolutely try their "Steak & egg" appetizer as well as the Karaage. The ramens are also super flavourful, & the "egg" made from emulsified tomato is genius! Definitely will be back.

I ordered the Shoyu ramen Tokyo Style because I was curious about the tomato yolk. But it's too mild to taste any tomato flavour. The yuba is shaped like thick slices of chashu. So this ramen ressemble like a'meaty' ramen. The gluten-free noodles are made of shirataki. For dessert, I had the vanilla soft serve (made with soy milk) with miso caramel. Eaten by itself, the caramel is deliciously salty. I'm very satisfied came for I came for their dessert made with miso.

Confess that i didn't know it wasn't vegan until the server told us lol. Besides being a strong carnivore, if i didn't know that it was vegan, i would've thought that it was a regular pork on my shoyu ramen. Incredible! Service was PERFECT! Server knows literally everything about the menu. Cocktails & mocktails were delicious & the brownie dessert with the ice cream WAS PERFECT. It really changed my view towards vegan food. Very good experience!

Nous avons passé une excellente soirée à savourer le menu dégustation. 5 services originaux, fins & vegans. J'ai apprécié le brownie au miso ! J'y retournerai pour ses ramens qui ont l'air succulents.

This was a really fun experience, however I was just a bit disappointed by the food. It was yummy but I was expecting it to be just a little bit more unique. The dessert was a fun experience but for a place that specializes in ramen & similar noodle dishes, I was a bit let down. I would rate the food about a 7.5. That's the only thing keeping me from giving it a five star.
