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.

We had a wonderful meal here in a cold snowy Monday. The food was delicious - three of us had Ramen with Tonkatsu broth, one of us had some Chicken Kaarage. The atmosphere is fun & lively, & service was kind & attentive. Highly recommend!

A lively space to slurp down some ramen. I enjoyed my chicken-broth soup, but did wish that the flavour profile had more depth.

Great to satisfy a sudden craving if you're close by, especially during the winter months.

Un Ramen bien triste… Bouillon gras de style Hakata mais qu'est ce que c'est fade. Pas d'Umami, aucune profondeur au bouillon, goût linéaire. Ne se compare jamais à un moyen Ramen au japon. La scène de Ramen à Montréal est bien bien triste c'est dommage !

Petit endroit cool & tamisé pour savourer l'un des meilleurs ramens de Montréal. Nous optons toujours pour le karaage épicé, qui est absolument délicieux. Il peut y avoir une file à l'entrée, mais le service est assez rapide. À essayer.

Very lacklustre ramen, targeted at Caucasian palate. Kinton, sansotei, & ichi ramen are all comparable or better for a cheaper price. Wouldn't go back & wouldn't recommend. The one plus would be that it has vegan broth for those who care

Une cuisine excellente & un ramen très personnalisable, jusqu'au niveau de sel que vous souhaitez. Le poulet frit en accompagnement est délicieux ! Une bonne adresse où je reviendrai !

Les meilleurs ramen que j'ai jamais mangé jusqu'a aujourd'hui. Beaucoup de choix d'agrément pour le ramen. Il faut cependant prévoir une longue attente.

Fav spot for ramen ❤️❤️❤️

This ramen restaurant has undoubtedly the best ramen you could find in Montreal. It truly masters the formula of the signature ramen anyone would be craving for whether or not you have eaten ramen in Japan. My only complaint is that the options of ramen are practically non existent. This isn't a major issue as the classic ramen they offer is plenty enough to fill my craving, but I would hope that they add different ramens such as the tan tan ramen.

Les ramen étaient vraiment super ! J'adore aller en ville, les serveurs étaient super, l'ambiance & la musique sont bien équilibrées. Si vous vous présentez sans rendez-vous, le temps d'attente peut être de 20 à 30 minutes selon le volume. Peu importe que vous arriviez à 18 heures ou à 20 heures. Enjoy!

This ramen spot was an instant hit four our taste buds. The thick, flavorful broth was a delightful surprise. We will definitely return whenever we're craving ramen again.
