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.

Wonderful experience. All the flavors & textures were spot on, especially a big fan of the'egg' in the ramen. The soup broth was a delicious combination of tomato & mushroom & gave the full experience of Japanese ramen.
The matcha cocktail was also fantastic, it kinda falls into a dessert cocktail but I would have it anytime 🤣
Definitely would come back to try more of the menu.

A very nice cute & intimate restaurant with really good food & greater service 🎉🎉 We started with Gyoza that was beyond delicious ❤?❤? For the main course I had the Montreal sushi while my partner had Chicken dronagiri & each bite was just perfect 💕💕 To see the chefs make it in front of us was a huge delight ! For dessert we had the chocolate mousse & the cheesecake matcha & it was heavenly 🩷🩷 Cannot wait to go back & try other items in this 10/10 restaurant 😇😇

La nourriture était excellente & notre serveuse, qui était nouvelle, nous a épatés. Par contre, le service des cocktails laisse à désirer. Nous avons attendus plus de 30 minutes pour nos verres & il y en a un qui nous a jamais été servis. Il serait bien de revoir le fonctionnement du service de cocktails ainsi que le nombre de serveurs présents. Merci!

Really impressive! The service was perfect: they brought out each plate at the right moment as we finished the last. They were easily able to accommodate a peanut & tree nut allergy, apparently only sesame is present. Incredible taste & presentation. Amongst the best ramen I have ever had, even in Japan. Highly recommend.

Une superbe expérience chez Umami Ramen & Izakaya !
J'ai pris les ramen miso, en entrée les aubergines marinées, & en dessert le beigne maison - tout était tout simplement excellent. Les saveurs sont riches, bien équilibrées, & chaque plat est préparé avec soin.
Le service était impeccable : rapide, attentionné & professionnel. L'ambiance du restaurant est chaleureuse & moderne, parfaite pour passer un bon moment, que ce soit seul ou accompagné.
Je recommande vivement, c'est une adresse à ne pas manquer à Montréal !

Can't go wrong with the Tempeh Tonkatsu Ramen.
The gyozas are good too. & the edameme are amazing.
Too bad the seating is really close to each other.
For a vegan place, the food tasted great!

Un peu bruyant, mais je suis conscient que vous ne pouvez pas y faire grand chose. Sinon c'était parfait.

We've been to Umami about 3 times before. Overall their food's not bad, rich in taste but quite high in sodium so something to watch out for if you're a conscious eater. Regardless, we used to enjoy Umami on occasion.
Last visit to Umami was downright terrible. I wish there was another way to put it but there isn't. We sat down & waited for quite a while when we were limited on our time. The waitress ensured us they will be with us shortly. They took our order about 20minutes in.
We ended up waiting for yet another 50minutes. There was a couple infront of us who waited that long & were visibly bothered. They came in just a few minutes after we did. At that point we saw a group receive their order, who were there since before we arrived.
Some moments later were told they will now begin with preparing our food.
We decided to leave at that point.
Unfortunately we were not told it will be this long, nor were we offered anything during the wait as a gesture / compensation for our time. The same applied to the couple sitting across from us. Safe to say this will be our last visit as this situation was very poorly treated. They are under-staffed for their space & their service has dipped ten-fold since our last visit.

The waiting was a bit long but worth it. The food was good & the atmosphere was smooth. The waitress was very nice. You need to like tofu as meat replacement. Always debatable..,

clairement un des meilleurs restaurant de Montréal.
Accueil chaleureux, convivial de Sofia.
Une cuisine Isakaya raffinée, délicate, savoureuse. Le fait que ce soit végétarien n'enlève rien à la diversité des plats & à la proportion.
L'accord mets-sakés est absolument a essayer pour découvrir les différences significatives de gouts en fonction du polissage du riz - du floral-litchee-ananas, au sake plus traditionnel, au saké au pruneau qui se rapproche de l'alcool de prune haut de gamme.
& leurs ramens sont excellents...
Un voyage culinaire parfait au Japon, a prix plus que raisonnable. Si vous ne connaissez pas, c'est un must de Montréal a découvrir!

Local plutôt bruyant, mais service impeccable & très bonne cuisine.
Au départ, déçus de ne pas pouvoir prendre le menu dégustation, le serveur nous a mitonné un menu dégustation à façon, avec choix de plusieurs saké.
Très belle découverte.

J'avais réservé pour un groupe de 5 & le service a été impeccable! 2 employés venaient à notre table (l'un d'eux était le bartender je pense) & les deux employés nous ont offert un service personnalisé, nous ont conseillé & on pris le temps de répondre à nos questions. Les portions sont généreuses & les cocktails uniques! 100000/10
