Review Summary

Reviews paint Yokato Yokabai Ramen as a busy, cramped but authentic spot where a rich, customizable ramen experience sits at the center of the appeal. The broths, especially tonkotsu and torikotsu, are repeatedly described as savory, creamy, and deeply flavored, with homemade noodles that hold up to toppings like pork, chicken, or vegan options; karaage and takoyaki are frequent favorites on the side. The atmosphere is described as cozy and authentic Japanese with a lively vibe, though the space is small, chilly near the door, and noisy during peak hours. A popular text-based waitlist system helps manage queues but wait times can stretch, sometimes making the meal feel pricey for the portion size or the level of service. Service quality ranges in reviewers' eyes from warm and attentive to slow or inconsistent, contributing to a sense that the place is excellent when it shines but not always flawless. Value is debated: some call it the best ramen in Montreal and worth the crowd and cost, while others feel the hype and Michelin connection have inflated expectations and that the experience does not always match the price. The restaurant also offers vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-aware options, and a cocktail program adds to the scene, but overall opinions converge on a standout, highly flavorful ramen that pays off for many despite the caveats of popularity and pace.

By far the best & most authentic ramen in Montreal! It's the closest thing to what I experienced in Japan. The atmosphere is inspired & cozy, & the service is friendly. Try the Gomami Ramen. It's a delicious, lighter option. The Chicken Karaage will blow your mind.

Nourriture délicieuse, je vous conseille vraiment d’attendre pour pouvoir tester leurs ramens. Ce sont les meilleurs ramens que j’ai pu manger au Québec & même au Canada jusque là. Leurs carbonaras à la japonaise sont aussi très bonnes, bons takoyakis, bon karaage. Très bonne ambiance, lieu très immersif. Bon service, personnel très poli.

Bref, si vous hésitez, n’hésitez plus & foncez ! Leurs ramens sont à tester absolument !

The presentation, atmosphere, & service was great. Might've been a bad day but the flavour was lacking for the Tonkotsu & the Torikotsu. The chashu was also not how I would've expected it.
Did enjoy the Chicken Karaage.
If you're really craving soup it will get the job done.
