Attempt #2 trying to go here worked as the first time on a Friday night was told 1.5 hour wait and you cant make reservations. Second time for a weekend lunch they had implemented a new system which was much better where there is a tablet where you enter your name, number of guests and phone number and you will be texted when to come back when a table is available. Our estimate was 15 min to 45 min but ended up being much closer to 10 minutes.
Yokato was great but hurt by high bar expectations in terms of the Michelin Guide reference. Service was very good, as was the ambiance and food just nothing that blows you away which for better or worse what you expect when you hear the name Michelin name.
After getting the text me and my friend were led to our tables. For lunch you fill in a little sheet with what sides you want, the broth, meats and any extras which I appreciated for the efficiency.
We ordered the Pork broth with Pork and the Chicken Broth with Chicken. Both were very good and savory, and didnt take too live to arrive after ordering. You also get a little caddy with add-ons for the soup which were spicy sesame seeds in oil, regular sesame seeds, pickled radish and pink onions I think.
Overall the service, system and food were all very good, just not mindblowing or novel which is what I kindof expected with any association for the Michelin Guide

1h30 wait. We ate at the thin counter, had to eat in an awkward position. Food is great though. There's zero service, only serving.

I used to go a few years back, had some memorable experiences. This time however was not. The tables are very small, we were only 2 and had no space for 2 ramen and a side dish. the flavour was quite bland. It used to be my favorite ramen shop, but after coming back for the first time in 3 years, the quality of the food and experience dropped alot. the priced went UP as we spent close to 80$ for ramen and side. 25$ for an okay ramen and 15$+ for a side. the aesthetic of the store is there, But very crowded, small, expensive. It does look good at least.

Food was ok, but not a 4.6 Star Restaurant. I wouldn't recommend going there if you only have a few days in Montreal.

I don't understand how this place was apparently given a Micheline rating. Did something happen? The food wasn't terrible, but badly prepared. The place is cramped and very loud. You hardly have room to sit comfortably and if you're stuck waiting in line to get in? Honestly? Go somewhere else that either makes food of the same caliber but lower price with quieter atmosphere. Or go somewhere better with the price they charge here. As harsh as this sounds, it's what it is.
I think the staff is overwhelmed with the amount of people they try to serve. It's the double edged sword of being a popular spot to try their menu.
Not great, not terrible. A disappointment, but at least that's memorable.
While it is very busy and the wait is long if you go during their busy time, they have a system and it works and they're nice and the food is excellent. You don't feel rushed or anything. Loved the food!

Fantastic food. Small place - each time ive been here I was seated directly facing a wall :/ Main gripe is that you have to wait outside in the cold without much communication from stuff - and they seem kind of annoyed that nobody understands their confusing system

The food was all right overall. We ordered the Takoyaki, which was delicious, but the Fried Chicken was a bit too oily and the ramen was unfortunately mediocre despite being included in the Michelin guide. The service was also quite long. Hoping for a better experience next time.
