Brunch

Already went there for supper and everything was delicious, so I had to try the brunch and it really did not disappoint. Tried the traditional japanese breakfast.

It's a bit on the pricier side, but at the same time the portions are so generous that I had to take some of the food out.

Excellent and original Japanese fusion restaurant

All ingredients are incredibly fresh, and the menu goes beyond your usual ramen placé - I loved testing the seasonal cold ramen and the tofu skin brochette. And they have excellent mocktails and cocktails!

Délicieux

L'endroit est très chouette ! Ce que nous avons mangé était vraiment délicieux ! Nous avons partagé une entrée et pris un plat chacun et un dessert partagé. Les portions sont copieuses !
La crème brûlée en dessert était délicieuse.
Très belle découverte !

Had the teriyaki steak and ramen of the day. Both were fantastic and were better than I expected. Will definitely be back the next time I find myself in Montreal.

Ouh miam miam

Venue pour les ramen, partie sans les goûter car d'autres mets à déguster m'ont attirée : best tempura in town, légèreté et gourmandise comme il faut. Se réserver de l'appétit pour la crème brûlée à la patate douce super fondante

Pros: Champi shimeji tempura et courge kabocha, Crème brûlée à la patate japonaise, Dumpings, un classique bien réussi

Disappointing :(

It was overall pricey and not really worth it :(

I shared the tofu agedashi which was good (but there are only three bits of tofu). I was then tempted by the ramen tantanmen épicé but I was disappointed right away. The broth wasn’t strong and it wasn’t really spicy which is what I hoped for. Overall it wasn’t memorable and I forgot about it the minute I walked through the door. I also tasted the miso ramen but the flavor was just one note and I couldn’t have eaten a full bowl of that. Both lacked subtlety and I wondered why they had such high praise. I really expected a lot based on the reviews…

THE best ramen

come to a creative, modern atmosphere that blends tradition with cutting-edge vegan goodness 😋
we made a reservation and weren't initially expecting much, but quickly became gobsmacked by warm bowls of ramen and the excwllent service. the portions are generous, which is great when you want to savor as much as you can. fresh noodles, toppings, and well-rounded flavor profiles - what more is there to love?

Appetizer was the best!

The steak and eggs app was so impressive... the ramen was also delicious but we'd go back just to try more apps!

Best Vegan Meal in Montreal

We stopped here as a recommendation from a friend and it was the best meal we have had so far in Montreal. I had the mapo tofu ramen and my partner had the shoyu. Both were really good. It was kind of far from our accommodation but it’s worth the trip.

Pas pour nous

On trippe bouffe, on essaye tout. O avait très hate de l'essayer. On a apprécié une entrée. Sinon on n'a vraiment pas aimé l'autre entrée et les 2 bols de ramens étaient vraiment ordinaires (bouillon a la sauce soya peu savoureux dans un, a peine comparable à cque jfais quand jsuis pressée, kimchi dompé à la pelletée mal accompagné dans l'autre, combinaison de saveurs pas du tout reussies selon nous) . On n'a pas fini nos repas. Le service etait courtois, mais pas efficace (viennent nous demander si cest bon alors que le serveur nous a apporté nos plats moins de 10 secondes avant, on sortait nos ustensiles. puis ne revienne plus du tout, pas de refill d'eau rien). En plus ca nous a laissé un point sur l'estomac. Grosse déception.

Amazing vegan ramen with a touch of elegance

I recommend making a reservation if you want a table. The bar usually has spots for walk-ins but weekends get busy. The spicy miso ramen wasn't very spicy but it was still some of the best ramen I've ever had! The tempura tempeh curry ramen is a must try if you like curry-style ramen.

Employees are very welcoming to English speakers.

Pros: Everything is vegan, Excellent ramen, Great vibes

Excellent vegan ramen

Went here back in 2024 for ramen. The ramen was delicious as well as the agedashi tofu appetizer. The cocktail I ordered was also very good. Service was great.

The restaurant wasn't too large so I imagine if you can't make a reservation you may end up waiting for a table. Not sure on their parking situation as we used transit to get to the location.

Pros: All vegan, Ramen

Wow!!

On a partagé trois izakayas (l’aubergine
agebitashi; le tofu agedashi; et le tempura de
champignonshimeji et courge
kabocha) et le curry épicé et tempeh tonkatsu. Tous les plats était délicieux avec des très belles présentations. L’aubergine était super bonne et mon plat préféré- il ne faut pas le rater ! Le curry contenait une « jaune d’œuf » fait à partir d’une tomate ! Les portions étaient généreuses. Nous avons terminé avec le dessert wagashi umami qui était également beau et succulent. En gros, c’était une expérience de fine dining mais pas trop cher - super rapport qualité prix.

Tasty ramen, cute ambiance. My personal fav is the kimchi one. The starters are okay/good. The drinks are very strong and small. A good place to bring your non-vegan friends! The service is always great.

Meilleur ramen de Montreal

J'adore ce restaurant. Ambiance tamisée, des plats chaleureux et goûteux.
Il faut vraiment essayer le beignet ainsi que la crème glacée comme dessert!!
Et pour entrée, le Tempeh frit est super bon

Good option!

My husband and I went yesterday and it was great. They have a good amount of options!
He got the Tokyo style, and I got the Spicy Tantanmen. His was fantastic, mine was a bit too salty after a couple bites.
The noodle, veg, and protein portion sizes are great. Definitely less broth than other places I’ve gone to though!!

Pros: Options, Cute patio

Cons: Amount of broth, Saltiness

Good but not great

Food was pretty good overall. We really liked the eggplant agebitashi and the tempeh tonkatsu. The tempura and the okonomiyaki were tasty too. We then had the spicy miso ramen and the kimchi ramen. They were a little disappointing to be honest. Both broths had a strong but one-note flavor. The miso one was very salty and didn't taste like much other than, well, miso. The kimchi was a little better. But they both had a thick consistency which made them a bit heavy.
The other thing that had me knock one star off was our seats. The light-colored upholstery was covered in stains and honestly sketched me out.

Pros: good izakaya items

Cons: so-so ramen, grimy seats

How to perfectly start the week

Everything was amazing! I took the cold ramen (tofu, ginger, seaweed, tomatoes) with a creamy sesame sauce. The portion was great for the price (less than 20$ without taxes). The service was on point (staff were really friendly and took time to explain and answered questions). I took a mocktail (a little pricey for the quantity) and it was delicious. "UMAMI RAMEN & IZAKAYA is the very first fully vegan ramen restaurant in Montreal."

Best vegan ramen I’ve had

This food was so good to me. The egg was so interesting and cool - I loved this dish (shoyu ramen). Also ordered agedahsi tofu. And an aperitivo spritz (NA), which was kinda weird but also good. The servers were very cool and nice to me.

Pros: The ramen, The decor, The servers

Cons: Long wait after seated
