Tried veggie broth, add more shiitake mushrooms. Enough portion, fresh & delicious ingredients, & reasonable price.
Seats are not comfortable for long stays, but to have your friends, fancy or casual, small chat & have great meals, it's a fantastic place in a beautiful area.
Have reservations if possible.
We have been waiting for the place to open first in the line on Friday evening. During that time one waitress was standing right outside in front of us & smoking. Have nothing against someone smoking (although I personally hate when it's near me), but imo it's inappropriate when after 20 mins that person is delivering food to your table.
They let us in. The place was empty obviously since again we were the first in line. The waitress sat us down in the edge of the room & immediately warned that we have time until 7pm to leave. I was confused - we are the first in line, they give us the worst table in the room & politely asking to get out in 2 hours - that is basically our first 2 mins being in the place! Not nice for a Michelin place :)
Anyway, I of course said that we want another table & was rejected. But the waitress came back in 2 minutes & sat us in a little better table.
We ordered the entrees & the ramen. Food was fine, really. I get why the people are coming & standing out there in the line. But honestly, for this kind of service, I wouldn't attend it twice. We were not told how to order ramen, but instead we were warned to leave in 2 hours. That's ridiculous for the price you pay. The busiest restaurant on earth wouldn't treat their customers like that, would it?
The place is cute atmosphere is nice!
We had the Karaage Chicken wasn't impressed at all. Had way better ramen in other places Surprised how it got a Michelin Star. Service was good.
I went to Yokato Yokabai Ramen on a cold, rainy Saturday afternoon with a friend. One of those grey days where you just want warmth, something comforting, & a place that lets you linger.
The space is intimate & cozy, with warm lighting, wooden accents, & Japanese murals lining the walls. It feels lived-in in the best way. Like a spot people return to often. When we arrived, only the ramen bar was open, so we waited about 40 minutes for a seat. Normally that might feel long, but the weather made it feel right. When we were finally seated, it was directly in front of the chefs, which instantly made the wait worth it. Watching the bowls come together was its own quiet kind of entertainment.
Once seated, things moved smoothly.
We started by sharing the pork gyoza with peanut sauce. Crispy, savory, with just enough sweetness to round everything out. A solid opener.
Then came the ramen.
I ordered the torikotsu, a chicken-based broth with thin noodles & chicken teriyaki. Comforting, rich without being heavy, & really well balanced. My friend went for the tonkotsu, with its deeper pork broth, tender slices of pork, & the same delicate noodles. Both bowls were deeply satisfying. The kind of food that warms you from the inside out & makes the rain outside feel intentional.
One small thing to note. There was a water jug on the table, but the menu didn't list drinks & we weren't offered anything else, so we weren't sure if additional beverages were available unless requested. Not a dealbreaker, just something to know going in.
We ended up opting for a special that included ramen & a yuzu panna cotta for $25, which felt like great value. The panna cotta was smooth, lightly tangy, & refreshing. A gentle ending rather than something overly sweet.
The space itself is a bit tight, & it can get loud when it's full, but that closeness adds to the charm. It feels like a place where people gather for comfort, not spectacle.
Yokato Yokabai is the kind of spot you crave on a cold day. Cozy, unfussy, & focused on doing ramen really well. I'll definitely be back, ideally at a quieter time when more of the space is open, but the food alone makes it worth returning to.
You can enjoy authentic & simple tonkotsu ramen. It has a very rich taste & a taste that makes you feel Japan. The amount is not large, so it is small for men, but it is just the right amount for women. & for the Japanese, you'll scream, because $30 for a bowl of ramen (including tips) is crazy. This is because in Japan, you can eat ramen with this taste for $7 or $9 I wouldn't recommend it to Japanese tourists, but I would recommend it to people from other countries.
Je n'y suis allé qu'une fois. J'ai trouvé ça bon, mais cher. Au Japon, ça serait équivalent à un bol de ramen à 2 000 yen, ce qu'on ne voit jamais là-bas (les bons ramen sont entre 800-1 200). Je préférais le chashumen de Kurobuta qui est malheureusement fermé. Cela dit, Yokato offrait une expérience globale sympathique & agréable.
They changed the pork, where before it was baked then torched to perfection, karaage was improved upon with the addition of a vinager garlic scallion sauce, & soup extra thick.
AMAZING RAMEN. Really cool atmosphere. Nice & small & inviting.
Quality of Food & service were great & wasnt a long wait for a group of 2 (about 30 minutes)
Would definitely go back & highly recommend.
Honnêtement je croyais que je n'aimais pas les ramen. À chaque fois que j'en mangeais, je trouvais ça assez ordinaire. J'imagine que c'est parce que je n'avais pas encore goûté à des vrais ramen authentiques. C'était tellement bon ! C'est vraiment le fun aussi de pouvoir personnaliser notre bol selon notre goût aussi. Je vais maintenant avoir des cravings de ramen avec cet endroit.
Simplement les meilleurs ramen que j'ai mangé à mtl. ❤?🤟
Goût digne du japon… trust me! J'ai visité le japon 🇯🇵.
Voir photo pour mon choix de bouillon & contenu. 🍜
On aime le spot…Keep it simple. Peu de choses sur le menu, mais tout est vraiment bon. Cependant, juste les ramens c'est plus que rassasiant.
Meilleur spot à ramen à Montréal & de loin ! La qualité est exceptionnelle & l'ambiance chaleureuse. Bien situé sur le Plateau, c'est un incontournable à essayer si vous visitez Montréal pour la première fois. Parfait pour se réchauffer lors d'une journée froide !
Le ramen est vraiment exceptionnel. Mais le lieu… C'est le restaurant le plus bruyant où je sois jamais allée à Montréal. Ce n'est pas un endroit autism-friendly. Pour y avoir une meilleure expérience, il est impératif d'avoir des écouteurs à réduction de bruit. Toutefois, c'est un restaurant jolie.
