Amazing ramen

We were three persons at the table, the waitress took time to ask us our preference and referred us each a different dish. Every plate was really delicious. Would definitely recommend.

The gyoza are also really good!

Love love love

Great atmosphere in the garden patio, attentive service, tasty sake by the carafe. Above all though, the food was truly spectacular. Nice authentic flavours in the dishes like okonomiyaki, tofu agadashi, and gyoza that actually reminded me of Japan. LOVE that they have a cold soup option. My only regret was that the tantanmen ramen was too big for me after all the appetizers we tried. This place is a new favourite for sure.

Pros: Great quality food, Authentic Japanese dishes, Nice atmosphere

Great entrees and service

I loved the entrees more than the ramen itself. Strongly recommend the tofu skin: Karaage

Best vegan Japanese food

Wow!! So impressed by my experience here! My family had the tasting menu (37$) which includes a selection of their izakaya small dishes plus desserts. Definitely worth it! My favorites were the tempeh tonkatsu and the donut with soy ice cream. Staff was super friendly and the outdoor dining area is beautiful and calm. Loved it! I definitely want to come back and try their ramen too.

Pros: Delicious and beautiful presentation, Beautiful terrace

Cons: Tasting menu is a bit pricey

Great food

I recommend the kimchi ramen!!! Okonomiyaki very good, a bit too salty. Kimchi fries are ok, not enough sauce. kontaksu (fried tempeh) was good. Suteki tamago was really good for mushroom lovers. Loved the tsukenomo.

Pros: Ramen

An inspiring menu

Flavourful dishes! They have their own fermented food & they also make their own ramen. For appetizer, I had a pancake made of cabbage and mushrooms. The texture and taste was quite unique. A must-try ! I definitely need to go back to try out the other dishes.

So delicious!

Umami Ramen is an incredible, delicious, elegant and original restaurant that cares about the quality of their food and the satisfaction of their clients. Everything is made in-house, fresh and it shows in every bite you take. Their dishes are creatively executed and the presentation is beautiful. The style is chic Japanese, very fitting for special and casual events.

I chose the 35$ per person service. It was delicious, and I got to discover authentic dishes. I loved the algae and potato salads, the dumplings, the fried tofu. Everything was amazing! I returned a few times to try different items on the menu and I've never been disappointed. Their tempeh ramen is delicious!

Pros: Excellent food, Friendly and helpful staff, Chic and modern vibe

Incredible - best spot in town!

I have been about 20 times and have never been disappointed neither by the ambiance not the food nor the service. Cocktails and all their sake selection j. On point. The agedashi and eggplant entrées are insane and the tantanmen ramen is spicy and so savory. I always go back for it!

Pros: Amazing service , Incredible food

Cons: Nothing bad to say.

Feels like in Japan

Beautiful modern restaurant with traditional japanese food. The ramen soups were really good. The okonomiyaki was also great. It was the first time I had a vegan okonomiyaki, so it was nice to remember what it tastes like. The prices are quite cheap for what you get. You leave the restaurant really full. I will definitely go back.

Pros: Cheap prices, Original menu

Très salé

Nous sommes 5 à avoir pris des ramens, et nous avons trouvé l'ensemble bon, mais vraiment trop salé particulièrement ceux à la sauce soja.

A wonderful surprise!!

Wow. I ate here last night with two people and we were overwhelmed with the great time we had! We each ordered the 35$ tasting menu, which consisted of having entree dishes come to our table for a very long time!! The food was fresh, beautifully presented, unique and delicious. The service was perfect as well. The only con was that we found ourselves be a little chilly in there; so dress warmly! Otherwise, fantastic dinner experience for which I am eager to have again.

Pros: Delicious, portions, presentation, service

Flavourful Ramen & Delicious Gyoza!

The miso ramen was delicious - packed with flavour. Definitely on the saltier side, but a far cry from the vegan ramen I’ve had else where that just seem to put noodles in a plain vegetable broth. The gyoza was also tasty! 5 pieces for $7.00. A tad on the pricy side, but well worth the price. The decor is really nice with a good vibe. Spicy dishes are very spicy! Not for the weak at heart.

Pros: Atmosphere , Flavour , Great Service

Ramen

The place looks great and service is amazing but I found the kimchi creamy ramen not creamy enough, the kimchi overwhelmed everything else, which aas fine but nothing amazing. The Tantan ramen tasted good but was a bit too salty for my taste. The broth was also too thick for a Tantan, it felt more like eating spaghetti than enjoying a ramen. The edamame was surpisingly very cold with steak very salty spices o too of then, which was a weird take. Nevertheless, the noodles were great and homemade, which is a plus.

Very nice ramen place for everyone

The appetizers (tofu, tempeh) were tasty and suprising. I took the spicy miso ramen because I like ramen soup when it's creamy, and yes it was!!! The staff was very friendly and quick. A very positive experience, even for my omni friends.

It’s really good! The panko crusted tempeh was the stand out for us.

Lovely warm atmosphere with a well thought out menu. We liked everything we had very much. They also have a couple of fantastic non-alcoholic cocktails. The beignet was decadent and delicious too.

Loved the food

The ramen is stellar, but the agedashi tofu was the star. The hot fried donut was the best way to finish the meal. The only con is the wait staff took a long time to acknowledge my party when we walked in, even though the restaurant wasn't that full.

Homemade heaven

Went to lunch with colleagues today. They had been there previously, but this was my first time. I had the "Shoyu Tokio style" and it was soooo delicious. Everything was made to perfection -- noodles, veggies, tofu... all of it. (And they even make their own tofu!) The place is really nice, and the service was great as well. I will definitely come back to try other options, especially the ones only available in the evening.

Pros: Delicious, Ambiance, Terrasse

Un incontournable!

Umami Ramen Montréal se présente rapidement comme un restaurant incontournable à Montréal - pour véganes comme les omnivores! Sa carte d'alcools éclectique et impressionnante, la qualité de la nourriture et du service dynamique sont renversants! Et que dire du design intérieur? Il donne envie de rester flâner plusieurs heures après le repas en dégustant un sake ou un kombucha maison.

Pros: Laid-back place with exquisite food, Opened late at night, Great value
