Yokato Yokabai Ramen

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

Ok atmosphere. The seats are uncomfortable, its unbalanced. the service is ok bcuz u pour ur own water, etc.. they just bring the bowls. The food was not hot & we were the first clients when they opened. The thick & thin noodles are the same exact thing but u have to pay for one. Much better places around... so overhyped & expensive... disappointedVoir plus

Ramen is super tasty, a bit pricey though. Broth is so creamy & I suggest to get the one with pork broth & pork meat with thick noodles.Voir plus
