Amazing - Edit
I’ve been on the hunt for a good vegan Japanese restaurant for a while and Umami Ramen did not disappoint. Everything we had was fresh, flavorful, and left us wanting more. I would recommend getting the okonomiyaki and karaage!

Délices japonais pour les papilles - Edit
Ce restaurant est une des meilleures adresses véganes à Montréal!
Read moreLe menu dégustation vaut définitivement la peine, les entrées sont variées et toutes aussi bonnes les unes que les autres.
Les ramens sont aussi très bons; les nouilles sont fraîches et les bouillons savoureux. J'apprécie aussi les garnitures; l''oeuf'' coulant fait de tomate est un must!
Pour finir, le beigne maison et la crème glacée molle au matcha est un incontournable.
Le décor est très beau et design. En été profitez de la terrasse qui est située sur la rue St-Zotique un petit peu en retrait de l'agitation de la Petite Italie.
Pros: Tous les plats sont frais, savoureux et délicieux., Dessert incroyable , Belle sélection de cocktails et saké

Great food and staff! - Edit
I actually never had Ramen before this but enjoyed it quite a lot. My vegan friend who loves ramen was very happy with the food. So if you are vegan and love ramen this is the place to go.

Loved all except spicy miso - Edit
The tempeh katsu is AMAZING, the noodles are great, and we enjoyed most of what we ordered. The only thing we didn’t like was the spicy miso ramen. It was too salty. I’d come again just for the Katsu.

Not a fan - Edit
We went there with high expectations but we were all (3 people) disappointed. We know a couple who also went and had a similar experience. Umami taste was not present.

Restaurant Stellaire - Je surkiffe! - Edit
C'est l'un des meilleurs ramen que j'ai mangé de ma vie. Les nouilles sont fantastiques - elles sont moelleuses et retiennent bien la saveur. Même les nouilles sans gluten sont délicieuses! (Mon mari ne mange pas de gluten). Les izakaya sont vraiment créatifs, surtout "le steak et les oeufs" de champignons enokis et confit tomate. Et les cocktails?! MAIM! Vous ne serez pas déçus.
Read moreJe n'ai mange pas de dessert. Mon estomac était trop plein!
This is one of the best ramens I've had in my life. The noodles are fantastic - chewy and they retain flavor so well. Even the gluten-free noodles are delish (my husband is gluten free, and I tried his. The wheat noodles are better but the gluten-free were so good he was nervous that a mistake was made!) The izakaya small plates are so creative, especially the "steak and egg" made from enoki mushrooms with a tomato confit "egg yolk." And the cocktails? YUM! You will not be disappointed.
I didn't try any dessert. I was too full!
Responding to some other comments, there are some dishes that are very salty, such as the miso ramen broth. I had the spicy sesame broth and it was much lower salinity, so if you're salt averse scroll through some reviews to figure out which dishes to try/avoid.
Pros: Fantastic food, Best vegan noodles I've found, Creative cocktails and huge sake/wine list
Cons: Some dishes might be a little salty, Reservations required

Mind blowing dumpling - Edit
The "pork" dumplings blew me away. It tasted just like real pork potstickers I had growing up. The ramen was also delicious.

Ramen is Great - Edit
The Miso Ramen was delicious but food takes a long time to come. We also had the gyoza appetizer and it came almost 10 minutes after we were already done our ramen and didn't taste the best.

Really tasty and refined restaurant - Edit
It was really good and very tasty (maybe a little bit salty). The staff was very friendly.
Read moreI don't put 5 stars because the portions aren't very big for the price and I waited 1hour to get the starter and an half an hour more to have the main course.
I found that a little bit long for a skewer and a ramen, maybe it's because it was friday night but even then...

Umami Ramen is absolutely incredible. I’ve never been disappointed by my choice of starter, ramen, drink or dessert. The portions are so generous and filling, the food is really affordable, and the staff is SO kind and knowledgeable. I can’t recommend it enough!
