Yokato Yokabai est une destination de choix pour d'authentiques ramens tonkotsu de style Hakata. Reconnu pour son bouillon d'os de porc riche et crémeux mijoté pendant des heures et préparé entièrement sans GMS, ce restaurant chaleureux offre un véritable goût du Japon. Avec ses nouilles faites maison, ses bols personnalisables et ses à-côtés savoureux comme le fameux poulet karaage, il propose une expérience traditionnelle d'une qualité exceptionnelle.
Dans l'ensemble, Yokato Yokabai Ramen est fréquemment salué pour ses bouillons riches et profundamente aromatiques et ses nouilles bien travaillées, beaucoup de gourmands le qualifiant du meilleur ramen à Montréal et notant des notes authentiques de style Hakata que l'on peut personnaliser; l'ambiance est chaleureuse et conviviale mais souvent animée et bruyante, l'espace étant parfois étroit et les files d'attente longues, facilitées par un système de SMS pour avertir quand la table est prête; les accompagnements comme karaage et edamame reçoivent de bons échos, tandis que certains trouvent les prix élevés ou les bols pas toujours assez chauds et considèrent parfois l'expérience surévaluée selon le moment, la table et le plat.
We had a great experience at Yokato, & a big part of that was thanks to Adam. He was genuinely friendly, welcoming, & always had a smile on his face. From the moment we sat down, he made us feel comfortable & at home, checked in on us at the right times, & made sure everything was taken care of. It's always nice when service feels real & not forced - Adam definitely delivered that. Really appreciate the great service.
The service was fast & courteous. Food was amazing. They were packed, but still very kind. They had a place to leave our winter coats. A little pricier for a lamen, but as someone who loves good food, I would recommend it.
We went it on a really snowy day & it wasn't too much crowded but service & the ramen was pretty good. The server also surprised us with a couple of non alcoholic drinks.
Visité le lundi 29 décembre, 13:30, 30 minutes d'attente, on s'y attendait, pas de trouble. Bondé! On s'y attendait, encore ok.
Mais…
Le spot! Verres vides & sales qui traînent partout, canettes ouvertes au comptoir, des mouches qui tournent autour du tray, ça sent le vinaigre de fond de verre d'hier, comme du stock d'un after jamais rincé. Zéro rigueur, zéro hygiène. Si la salle est laissée dans cet état-là, difficile de croire que la cuisine est mieux tenue.
75$ pour 2 ramens porc & 2 drinks Ramune. T*bern guy.
Digne d'un Michelin? Michelin? Pense pas non!
The ramen is absolutely delicious! Definitely will return here the next time we visit Montreal. If you have trouble getting a seat, you can try to walk around the corner to the restaurant entrance. One side is focused just on serving ramen it seems & the other side serves larger menu with ramen still included.
would recommend, worth a try if you are ever in the area. Ramen soups is normally very salty but not in this case, totally drinkable, very savory, better than average for sure.
Karaage was a pleasant surprise, layers of flavor, I rate it higher than the ramen, maybe I just like fried chicken more in general.

Rich, creamy tonkotsu with melt-in-your-mouth pork & a generous portion. The tempura & octopus sides were super crispy & delicious too. Plus, they have an open bar with plenty of cocktails. Totally worthy of its Michelin star-just be ready for a long wait during peak hours. Can't wait to come back & try the chicken broth!
I've been here many times before, but I've been compelled to leave a review this time as it does deserve it. After being introduced to authentic delicious Japanese restaurants in Vancouver area with local friends who kept saying its as close as you can get to Japan. In November that couple came to visit Montreal & Yokato Yokabai was on my list of restaurants to share with them. They were pleasantly surprised as I was again. we had reservations but we still needed to wait for our table to be ready, to be expected on a busy Saturday night. Thanks again to the staff for a great experience!
The food is edible but nothing to write home about, so not sure about the Michelin thing? It took them almost an hour to serve us & the broth wasn't even hot, to be honest I was about to leave & I wish I had. The portions are quite on the smaller side, & I'm not someone with a huge appetite. It left me wishing we had gone to our favorite place instead with better service, bigger tables, bigger portions, much richer broth flavor & much less crowded.

Karaage was good, pork broth was good but not crazy. To be honest the restaurant is overhyped. Service is mid & restaurant is cold as hell because of how close the entrance door is to the small dining room, which makes the seating cramped too.
Ma 2e fois à Yokato & toujours aussi bon que je m'en souvenais! Le bouillon du Tonkotsu est excellent, goûteux, gras (du bon sens du terme). Les oeufs marinés méritent d'en avoir en extra 👌. Top 3 ramen for sure!!
Overall, we had a good experience. We ordered a sesame broth ramen with pork, & a pork broth ramen with chicken. The sesame ramen was incredible, but the pork-broth ramen was a bit disappointing (would not order it again). Also, the area where we were seated was very cold since the door with access to the entrance was always open.
Really poor experience.. food was super disappointing, atmosphere was uncomfortable, seating was unbearable (we had to hold our jackets while we eat…) & services was subpar (waited 15 minutes after being seated so we can have our order taken..). Avoid if you can. Neotokyo or Tori Ramen in Royalmount are significantly better options.
La première fois qu'on a essayé de rentrer, l'attente était de plus de 30 minutes. C'est pourquoi nous y sommes retournés un lundi soir. Nous avons obtenu une table assez rapidement. Nous avons choisi le menu déjà proposé par le Guide Michelin.
J'ai été un peu déçu en voyant que la moitié des ramens contenaient des crustacés (j'y suis allergique). J'ai donc commandé le ramen au sésame. Je n'aurais jamais pensé que cette option serait meilleure que la principale! La surprise a été incroyable : c'était le meilleur ramen que j'aie jamais mangé.
En entrée, nous avons commandé un plat de thon préparé recommandé par le serveuse qui était également remarquable.
