I visited this restaurant on Saturday around noon and waited about 40 minutes to get in. I ordered the ramen, but it was very disappointing. The broth tasted greasy and floury, and the noodles were slimy, almost as if they were undercooked. I had requested thick noodles on the ramen sheet, but what I received was not what I ordered. Overall, I don’t understand how this place draws such long lines or has a Michelin star.

Idk how this place won a Michelin star but experience was bad.
Server ignored us, and I had to go walk up to the counter to grab his attention.
The table we were seated at was wobbly and moved around every time I tried eating. I had to put my weight on one corner to stabilize the table. The place is dark and cramped.
The food is okay. It is average for Japanese Ramen. The noodles tastes undercooked though because it was still sticky when biting down.
Overall 2 out of 10.

Some of the best ramen I have had. Definitely go with the pork broth.

The chicken broth ramen had a deeper umami flavour than the pork which was shocking. The noodles were exceptional. Fried chicken was not as crispy as I had hoped. Overall really tasty with some misses. Friendly staff. Wait was not long at all. 10 min for 3 of us on a Friday evening.

Solid stuff. Ramen was tight. Server was friendly, but it took a while to get the check. Cocktails were pretty good. Good vegan options.

Best ramen in Montreal. The prices have increased unfortunately
Really good ramen. A bit overpriced. The service is fast. The seats are quite cramped so don't expect to spend too much time there.

I used to recommend this place as the best in Montreal.
Unfortunately at some point in 2024 the porc shoulder has drastically reduced in quality. Prior to that it was a tender gorgeous cut that would melt in your mouth and last two times I went it was a thin tough cut
If it's a matter of pricing, I would have preferred a premium cut of porc to be added to the menu as a selection than Yakoto Yokobai no longer being my no-brainer ramen recommendation.
The cocktails and broth are fantastic but the degradation of quality in one of their primary dishes is greatly disappointing.

This spot never misses!!! I usually come here for the tonkotsu ramen but this time I got the cold hiyashi karaage ramen. Gave it a 4 stars because it wasn’t very cold which is the point of a cold ramen, so it didn’t have that refreshing aspect to it. And they don’t offer many beverage options.
