I got dinner here around 6. There wasn't any wait so I was seated immediately. The atmosphere is cool, pretty dark & a nice Japanese vibe. The staff was very friendly too. I got chicken Raman with chicken broth with thin noodles & a whole egg. The portion sizes were very generous. There was a lot more meat than I expected & lots of noodles. It all tasted good. It wasn't gorme but I was more than satisfied. I paid about $21 (+$1 for another half an egg) so I think it was good value for the amount of food I got.Voir plus
Love this place for its amazing sesame broth & tender noodles. The taste is always there. The ambiance is similar to Tokyo izakayas, tight but enjoyable. My favourite ramen place.Voir plus
The largest ramen shop in Montreal spans multiple levels. Despite its size, a long queue often forms outside. The ramen broth was milky thick & aromatic. The homemade noodles were chewy & slightly firm. The chashu was tender, with a savory-sweet flavor. Adding a few slices of fermented ginger condiments could enhance the depth of the umami.Voir plus
I visited Yokato Yokabai for the first time on a chilly, rainy Saturday afternoon with a friend, & it turned out to be a cozy, unforgettable experience. The restaurant's vibe immediately set a welcoming tone-its intimate setting, with warm lighting & beautiful Japanese wall murals complemented by wooden accents, made it feel like stepping into a little slice of Japan. Since it was early & only the ramen bar was open, we had to wait about 40 minutes for a seat, but it was well worth it. We were seated right in front of the chefs, which was a treat as we watched them skillfully prepare the ramen.
Stay tuned for my video review on TikTok (@Foxy.appetite) & Instagram (@Foxyappetite)!
In depth review:
To start, we shared the pork gyoza with a peanut sauce, which had a perfect balance of flavors-crispy & savory with a little sweetness from the sauce. But the real star of the meal was the ramen. I opted for the torikotsu, which is a chicken broth ramen with thin noodles & chicken teriyaki as my protein. My friend went for the tonkotsu, which featured a rich pork broth with tender slices of pork & thin noodles. Both dishes were exceptional, with each bite bursting with flavor. The broth was so comforting, rich without being overwhelming, & the noodles were perfectly cooked.
There was a water jug on our table, but the menu didn't mention any drinks, so we weren't sure if we needed to ask specifically for something else. We weren't offered any additional beverages, which left us wondering if this was the usual practice.
To top it off, there was a special deal-ramen & a yuzu panna cotta dessert for just $25, which felt like an amazing value. The panna cotta was smooth & subtly tangy, a perfect way to end the meal.
Though the space was a bit tight, it added to the charm, & it was clear this is a place where people come together to enjoy great food & a relaxed atmosphere.
In the end, Yokato Yokabai is a hidden gem in Montreal's Plateau neighborhood. Whether you're craving a bowl of ramen on a cold day or just looking for a cozy spot to unwind, this place delivers authentic, comforting Japanese food at an excellent price. I'll definitely be back, but during a less busy traffic time when all the rooms are open.Voir plus
The best ramen I've ever had the pleasure of trying. I often have a hard time finishing my meal in one sitting especially when dining out, but had no such difficulty here. Every element from the broth to the noodles to the pork & toppings was absolutely delicious & amazingly flavorful. It takes a lot for me to want to write a review for a restaurant but this one was absolutely worth it. A must try in Montréal!Voir plus
Good ramen, but unless you take all the topping that adds to the base price you get broth, 2 slice of pork & some noodle. So to have a'real' ramen you probably have to pay 30$+tips+taxes. Which brings you close to 100$ for two ramens. You can pay 4$ for 2 slice of pork.
Overall good ramen but not worth the price sorryVoir plus
There's a lot of waiting, but my complaint doesn't relate to that. After being seated, the cold drafts from the doors opening & closing were draining. Thankfully, the soups were served hot. The server, though nice & quick, seemed to be in a hurry when answering my questions about the different add-ons I could choose for my soup. It felt like I wasn't allowed to take my time to reflect, just to make a choice. While eating at the top counter, the credit card machine was placed right in front of me, & every time the dusty bill printer worked, particles of dust seemed to fall dangerously close to my soup. Despite these issues, the place itself looked great. When my soup arrived, it tasted really good, but they forgot two of my extras. I didn't mind waiting for them to be added, but when the mushrooms finally came, they were so cold that it was disappointing. The broth, however, was delicious, & the noodles were amazing. While eating, I noticed a girl in the kitchen with blue or green hair (or maybe both) cleaning something with a sponge right next to the soups lined up for their add-ons. Drops of water from whatever she was cleaning were falling into the soups, which, given how crowded the kitchen was, seemed unhygienic. I can't lie-I was happy with my meal. I liked being able to follow the preparation of my soup while sitting at the counter, & the food itself was good. However, small hiccups like these made the experience less than perfect &, overall, a bit disappointing. Will I go again? Yes. But will I hype it up to others & say it was amazing? No. I think a few small changes could greatly improve the atmosphere & experience.Voir plus
Good ramen in Montreal. I tried this place out during a 2 day stint in the city due to its' high amount of reviews & I was happy with the option. The broth was solid, along with pretty delicious noodles that tasted very fresh. The meat was good as well. I didn't really like the spoon situation as drinking the broth at our tiny 2 person booth was a little... like annoying. But it LoOkS tRaDiTiOnAl. Whatever. The chicken karaage was good too, but definitely not like a "must get." We should've gotten a small plate for me & my girlfriend because the chicken was loaded on the tiny plate & kept tipping over, with not a lot of chopstick power. Other than those tiny points, I would come back again to get my ramen fix in the city.Voir plus
Definitely one of the best (if not the best) Ramen in Montreal, their Tonkotsu broth is so addictive I highly recommend taking the thick noodles, they are really incredible in taste & texture I would eat there everyday if I could 🤩Voir plus
Excellent ramen, better than some of what I've tried in Japan. What they're doing here is incredible. Waiting time can be 2 hrs or more so try to avoid peak hours. The thin noodles picked up the broth well & everything was just delicious. Very glad I came here!Voir plus
Very solid ramen spot that lives up to the ratings, but is definitely on the more expensive side. Got the tonkotsu ramen, regular saltiness, with chashu topping. Broth is thick, rich, meaty, not too salty or oily. I had thin noodles while my partner got thick. Thick is definitely the way to go but costs extra, which I find kind of annoying since I don't remember any other ramen shop that does the same. I've read some other reviews that mention the broth being a bit lukewarm, which I agree with, but it was still delicious regardless. Came on a weeknight ~8pm & had to wait 40min, but this the same with any other popular restaurant in the area anyway.Voir plus
Great vibes & food was really good. Only complaint is that the broth was only luke warm but everything else was on point. Noodles were great, broth was flavourful & the chashu was tender & portion was very generous. Also ordered the spicy karaage which was also very good, really crispy & the sauce was tangy with good heat. Restaurant is small though so expect to wait. I came at around 6 on a Monday & it was already full with 8 people waiting in line.Voir plus
Rich thick broth flavour. Excellent noodle texture. Highly recommend!Voir plus
Excellent!! Amazing taste (pork & chicken broth). Superb bite on the homemade noodles! One of the best Ramen shops I have ever been to - including the ones in Japan!Voir plus
love the outdoor seating & the staff are very friendly & accommodating. i was hoping for chewier noodles for the thick ramen noodles. the broth is good (on the lighter side in terms of umami richness, regular salt level is fine) so the noodles are what could elevate this bowl of tonkotsu ramen 🍜 came right at opening on Saturday & didnt have a wait; however many people had the same idea & arrive just after opening.Voir plus
Love the vegan noodles, & the crispy noodle on salad with some fried tofu. It makes me liking eating more vegetables.Voir plus
Great place. Loved the vibe & the staff is friendly. The broth & noodles were not for my personal taste though.Voir plus
Now we are really greedy. A big Japanese lunch, one ramen down; we are going for the next ramen hit. If you were not looking on the map app, you will probably miss the entrance. YYR has a discreet entrance, but actually joins on to the other side where they can have some bar food & drinks. But we are here for the ramen - apparently the richest tonkotsu broth in town. Well, it was. The noodles were also nice & al dente, that allow the soup to grip on to. So it justifies the slurping! The host was a really nice Chinese guy who explained the way to order. Had a chat about the way of life in Canada too. Lovely friendly atmosphere. After all, the whole point of travelling is to meet & learn from the locals. Right? If you like your tonkotsu broth thicker than the average, then this is the place for you (& me)!Voir plus

Stopped for a quick ramen with my son who lives in Montreal & loves this place - I can see why. The ramen broth was out of this world - flavourful, rich, indescribable! The noodles were perfect, the pork was perfect, everything was perfect, except, perhaps, the egg, which was kind of pungent. Did not spoil the dish, though. We also shared some crispy chicken "bites" - just as delicious as the ramen. Two ramen & the shared chicken was too much; we had to take a couple pieces of chicken home. All in all, I see why our so e loves this place, & if I lived in Montreal I'd soon become a regular. We walked by a couple times & there were lineups - obviously it's a popular spot.Voir plus
Delicious Ramen. They also offer gluten free noodles for your Ramen. I ordered vegetable in chicken broth with chicken pieces - it was really good!Voir plus
Ramen was ok. Speed was snail speed. 40 mins for four bowls of noodlesVoir plus
This is overrated. Not a 4.6. The reason I say that is because the food is not it. No flavour to the ramen & tastes bland. Broth was water & noodles were not up to par. Service is good though as waiter was nice & helpful. & the vibe & atmosphere inside was great & beautifulVoir plus
It's unfortunate how good the photo of this ramen looks because I found it very average otherwise, while being very overpriced. I paid 31$ after tax & tips. You get a free choice of protein, 1/2 of an egg, chopped scallions, 1 nori & bamboo shoots. Anything else is going to cost a +2$ more. The noodles are okay, & I suspect they just use pre-made ones. I got the Tonkotsu broth & it didn't taste like much. Even got spicy miso (which costed 2$) added to it, but couldn't really taste any spiciness nor any relevant notes of miso. Service is fast which is a plus, but they're kind of tip hungry which is a bit weird & demanding to me.Voir plus
Went there for dinner on a Tuesday night. It was fairly busy, but I was seated quickly. I had the Tonkotsu ramen, which was exquisitely rich, a little thick even. Compared to other Tonkotsu I've had before, this one is definitely more complex in flavor, & it really lingers on the palate. The noodles were great, but definitely not enough, I'm definitely ordering an extra serving next time, or some gyozas to go with the ramen. It did however come with two massive cuts of very flavorful pork shoulder to make up for it. Not a fan of the counter seat (the serving counter overhangs the table area so when you lean in, your head can bump the counter), will go to a table seat next time.Voir plus
The ramen was very delicious & flavourful. I really enjoyed the fact that you can customize your salt preferences & toppings, such as green onions, pork belly or vegetables & adding seaweed & egg. The broth was very tasty & the noodles were fresh. I got the thin noodles, but they also offer thick ones. The atmosphere was very nice & the waiter was helpful. The wait time for the ramen was about 5-10 minutes. It's a great lunch spot, but they also have a dinner menu.Voir plus
The Ramen (pork broth & thin noodles) was excellent! It was rich & creamy. Our server was helpful. You can actually see in the hall the noodles being made downstairs. I would highly recommend this place. I'd come back too. Just a note, this place is hidden in plain site. You'll walk right by it, not even realizing it. It doesn't look like a store front. The price was right for the quality & experience for two. Thank you!Voir plus
I know everyone loves this place, & it was good but it's so small & cramped. The pork was so tough in the ramen, & the broth lacked flavour. Thankfully they brought chili oil to the table. I liked the noodles, but overall wasn't super impressed unfortunately.Voir plus
A disappointing experience with an average bowl of ramen. I was very enthusiastic about eating here as reviews were mostly positive & the place was specialized in ramen. The personnel was supper friendly & attentive, & the atmosphere was cozy & it almost make you felt as you were in an authentic japanese izayaka. I order a ramen with pork broth, thick noodles, pork shoulder & egg; However, the broth was somewhat bland, the noodles were thinner than expected, the pork & egg were cold, like out of the fridge cold which did not help with the overall taste, & at the portion felt not filling enough as I ended with way more broth than noodles. The ramen was pretty much on the same level as some decent instant noodles, nothing special but not really worth 20 dollars. The restaurant itself is not terrible but I expected more from it.Voir plus
I was here for solo lunch. I arrived around 12pm & sat at the bar. Not too busy at that time but did start to get busy while I was eating. Love this place - food ambience service - will be back next time I am in Montreal. I had the Korokke (potato croquette) starter which came in an order of 2. Crunchy on the outside & buttery soft on the inside garnished with thinly julienned carrots green scallion bits & topped with a tangy yummy sauce. The main I had was the Tonkotsu (pork broth) ramen with thin noodles & pork shoulder topped with scallion seaweed & with a half marinated ramen egg (ajitama). Condiments provided on the side included benishoga (thin strips of pickled ginger) & chili oil, also sesame seeds. I haven't seen these provided at other ramen restaurants before & will surely ask for them - makes such a difference brings out the flavours ! The broth was superb. Creamy not too salty. The noodles were just the right amount of chewy. The pork shoulder was fresh & perfectly seasoned. Everything was generously portioned. The restaurant interior felt like I was in Japan somewhere, not Montreal. Staff were super friendly. My favourite ramen resto too bad they are not in Toronto! Will be back also yo try sister restaurant (next door same building) Ichigo Ichie for Japanese tapas & cocktails).Voir plus
