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!

We had a really good evening dining here at the terrasse, the atmosphere was great & our waitress phenomenal.
It was my first time in a vegetarian restaurant & I really don't know much about Japanese food so with that in mind, I had absolutely no expectations when it comes to the food.
I had the Spicy Tantanmen Ramen with a Shiso Chuhai cocktail & my partner had a Curry Ramen with a Ghost Face cocktail, I wasn't much of a fan of the Tantanmen but tried my partner's plate & it was delicious. The cocktails were the highlight of the night, we both really enjoyed them.
Overall we had a great experience, I'll definitely come back again, when my wallet recovers.
We were visiting from New York City & went there with our two year old son & he loved the edamame. For us, I ordered the spicy miso ramen which was heavenly - probably one of the best ramen I’ve ever had. My husband ordered tantanmen spicy ramen (he has an incredible spice tolerance) & it was super duper spicy. But he quite enjoyed it. We chose outdoor seating & it was a little chilly, but they provided blankets & it was a perfect, cozy night out.

Spicy Tantanmen: sesame, Sichuan pepper, tofu, shiitake, spinach
La première fois que je mange à ce qui rapproche le plus de vrais ramens sans gluten & ça fait 11 ans que je suis coeliaque !
C’était excellent🤩 💙
Ramen vegan. Le faux œuf est incroyable
Ambiance intimiste au top !
J'y reviendrai pour des cocktails
The quality of the food is high but I found it too salty for my taste. I drank the entire bottle of water & was thirsty through the evening when I returned home. The service was cordial but when it got busy I could see them forgetting a couple of things. That happens & that doesn't take away the experience as the service workers were kind & apologetic. This is my second time here. The first time was last year in the fall. I ordered different dishes the second time & still found it salty like the first time. I had the gyoza the first time didn't order them again as I found them bland. The tonkatsu was not bad but the sauce was (again)very salty. I preferred having them with just the lemon. The wafu salad was boring with only the greens with a little tempura pearls that does not justify that price range. Some other veggies could have made it more interesting & maybe worth the price point. The tan tan ramen dish I ordered was very salty including the tofu. Last year it was a curry ramen same thing very salty. If I had to choose between the two the tan tan was better. I didn't finish the broth due to the saltiness although I found the spice level perfect nonetheless. Dessert was good the yuzu ice "cream" was very refreshing & did clear the palate of the saltiness out of my mouth. I would like to come back & try different dishes from the last two times to compare. I didn't order any cocktails as I don't drink alcohol & just stuck with the water. The last time I ordered a non alcoholic version & was charged the same. Every other place reduced the price point as there was no alcohol or made it larger & added more juice. So this was why I stuck with the water.
Les Ramen, le dessert & le saké étaient excellents; le gyoza était très ordinaire & le enoki au champignon est peu intéressant par manque de saveur. Le service était inégal probablement par manque de serveurs. Nous y retournerions pour les ramens qui éataient suprebes.
On a bien aimé l'ambiance en général bien qu'extremement chaud en intérieur. Les plats Isakaya étaient excellent. Les ramens était OK mais pourraient être mieux. Les nouilles était un peu trop dure & il manquait de topping. Belle experience en général.
Loved it. Best ramen ever. Will come back with friends. Posted a Google review. Thx guys!
Bonne bouffe, le temps d'attente d'avance d'avoir la nourriture était très longue.. on a manqué d'eau à notre table. le ramen froid est bon.
Un délice, un régal pour les papilles curieuses de goûts nippons. Je n'avais jamais mangé de Ramen aussi enchanteurs. & l'okonomiyaki qui l'avait précédé avait pourtant mis la barre très haut. Bravo.
Le cocktail & le ramen était délicieux. Nous étions assis dans la terrasse qui est tres belle & agréable, & au calme. A refaire !
This spot never fails— nothing but exquisite!! Non-vegan friends of mine still think this is probably the best ramen spot in the whole city. As a vegan—there is absolutely no competition.
Hit & miss. The wafu salad with chrysanthemum leaves sounded interesting, but the leaves themselves have a thistle-like texture & are not the best as a salad green. My shoyu ramen had a strong, salty broth that mostly tasted like mushroom soy sauce; pickled daikon, very forward on the sourness; shiitake mushrooms; wakame; & yuba, which had been grilled but otherwise not seasoned. So it was a mix of various flavours that did not feel like they belonged together; the daikon especially felt out of place. But honestly I just found the broth disappointing.
On the other hand, partner got the mapo tofu ramen which was delicious—rich, umami(!), & satisfying. For dessert, the mizu shingen mochi ("raindrop cake") was delicate, well balanced, not too sweet, & just generally an interesting eating experience.
So, a mixed bag!
Servers were friendly. The pace is very relaxed, on the slow side; we had about a 20 minute wait before our order was taken, followed by 20 minutes between each course.
Toujours un délice. Qu'on prenne plusieurs petits plats ou un ramen. Avec une bière Ippon, super combo!
& le service est toujours impeccable.
Merveilleux plats japonais vegans! Tout était succulent & le service impeccable! J'ai particulièrement adoré les ramen au tofu épicé :)
