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.

Bon ramen, mais la place est assez restreinte.

I recently visited this ramen restaurant & was extremely impressed with both the food & service. I started off with the octopus balls, or T akoyaki, which were perfectly cooked & bursting with flavor. The tasty pork ramen that followed was also outstanding, with rich broth & tender slices of pork. To top off the meal, I enjoyed a refreshing white beer that I can't quite recall the name, I do remember how well it complimented the flavors of the meal. Speaking of the staff, they were incredibly friendly & accommodating throughout my visit. They made excellent recommendations, were attentive to my needs, & overall provided a top-notch dining experience. Overall, I highly recommend this ramen restaurant for anyone looking for a delicious & satisfying meal. The octopus balls, pork ramen, & accompanying beer were all highlights of my visit, & I will definitely be returning soon.

Great ramen spot. I had the chicken broth ramen with chicken. A decent portion of tender chicken thighs & broth was flavorful & hot!

The food is pretty good, but nothing extraordinary. It took 25 mins for the waiter to come to our table & the couple next to us had to flag a random staff to make the waiter come to take the orders. Throughout the diner, he barely came to our table to check if everything was alright. Kudos to the guy who filled up our water glasses tho; he was on point. The restaurant's interior is very nice. As I said, the food is okay, but for the price, the service was a complete let down. (2$ for corn on your ramen; insane)

The space is too narrow & dark. It's hard to find a spot in meal time. There is limited option to choose in the menu. The ramen broth is not special as other ramen stores. It tastes not bad but not great to be back

Un des meilleurs restaurants de ramen sinon le meilleur à Montréal! L'ambiance est très sympathique & la cuisine y est très authentique. Un bon saké vous sera d'un grand réconfort. Le poulet frit en entrée est délicieux & le bouillon de la soupe est unique. C'est très certainement une belle expérience!

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.

Le bouillon végétarien manquait de saveurs à mon sens, heureusement les accompagnants disposés sur la table permettent d'accommoder le plat selon nos envies

Moi & ma fille ont a adoré cette endroit très délicieux pour les fans de naruto comme nous ca vaut la peine d'y aller & essayer. La seule chose il y a de l'attente pour une place en rentrant inscrivez vous immédiatement sur le iPad dans le haut des marches a votre droite & vous recevrez un texto quand votre place est prête. Je vous le dit c'est excellent 👌🏼 ont va y retourner c'est sur.

Minimum 30 min d'attente, a 17h un samedi. Ramen était bien mais ca ne m'a pas jeté a terre. Portion généreuse de poulet dans le bol de ramen. Le side de poulet épicé était bon
