The Best Ramen Restaurants in Montreal | Eater Montreal

"Diners eat in cubicles at Kumamoto, where after looking at the menu, they must hit a button to order. Ramen options abound, but the specialty here is the traditional pork bone broth, to be had plain, laden with black garlic, or spicy — with a choice of wavy or straight noodles." - Valerie Silva

The Best Restaurants for Eating Alone in Montreal | Eater Montreal

"Inspired by the anonymity of Ichiran “flavour concentration booth” ramen shops, the long dining hallway at Kumamoto might feel more like a library corridor than a restaurant: each individual table has walls on either side that create an intimate experience between the diner and their bowl. Orders are taken without having to speak to a server; once your meal is delivered, the blinds go down and you can slurp away in total privacy." - Ivy Lerner-Frank

Ramen Kumamoto is hands-down one of my family's favorite restaurants. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The bathrooms are always well-maintained. The food is always delicious! We have never had a single complaint and we've been coming here for years! Today, we stopped in for lunch and ordered the following: Karaage Chicken: The chicken was piping hot, crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. The dipping sauce was a mixture of Sriracha and kewpie mayo. It was so good! Pork Gyoza: These are cooked perfectly. Nicely caramelized on one side. The dough is very tender and the filling is succulent and juicy. Takoyaki: The Takoyaki has a wonderful sauce drizzled over it and a generous amount of bento flakes on top. I would prefer the takoyaki to be a tad crisper, but my daughter says I’m crazy. Charshu Onigiri: The rice was well flavored and tender. This is my youngest daughter’s favorite appetizer. Gyudon: This is my wife’s favorite dish. She said it has a great flavor and the beef is cooked perfectly. Pork Shoyu: The pork in this dish is perfectly cooked. It was moist and tender. The broth was very flavorful as well. Chicken Tan Tan: This is my personal favorite! The broth has a very deep miso flavor and a bit of spice. The ground chicken on top is flavored nicely as well. Pork Katsudon: This is our other daughter’s favorite dish. Again, the pork is perfectly cooked, tender, and moist. In the photos you will see that everyone added several eggs to their dishes. These things are addictive. They, too, were cooked perfectly. The yolks are nice and jammy. MMMmmMMMmm Yum! Another great tip is to ask for crispy garlic for the table. Sprinkle some of it over your dish and it takes it to a whole ‘nother level of flavortown! This is, by far, one of our favorite restaurants in the area. Stop by and I am sure you’ll love it too!

Solid spot. Great service and food was what I was expecting. Is it the best Ramen ever - no, but solid. I left full happy, service was good, it was priced accordingly, it was clean, I left happy. Would return. There’s a dope little ad on - the chicken Katsu curry bowl. It’s like $3 a steal. I think it’s only an ad on to another entre. I recommend it. No alcohol here fyi.

We tried the vegetarian miso ramen and mochi ice cream at one of the most recommended ramen spots in Newark, Delaware. While the place has a strong local reputation, the vegetarian miso ramen felt fairly average to us—perhaps because we’ve experienced more flavorful options at ramen places in other states. This was our first ramen experience in Newark, but based on what we had, we likely wouldn’t return.

I didn’t wear my seatbelt to this place because I wanted to die before I made it. The ramen tastes like pig ass mix with 12 hour sweat socks and the smell was terrible. They gave me a replacement broth and it smelt like walking by an Indian person that shakes their head for a discount. Disgraceful!!!! Never again!

I've been here a few times. In general, food was decent. A bit on the heavy side. I had the Beef Guydon this time. Beef wasn't killed over 4 times which was a plus. It was tasty, a bit salty, on a bowl of rice. My wife ordered the Bibim Noodles. It's like a cold noodles salad. Again, tasty but a bit heavy on the seasoning. The other couple ordered the Miso Raman and Katsu Curry Chicken. I didn't try them but they looked ok. I also didn't hear raving comments on them either. We ordered the Seaweed salad and the Takoyaki (fried squid ball) for appetizers. Seaweed was decent, just like any other places. The Takoyaki was disappointed. A big ball of dough with a tiny piece of squid inside. The dough feels under cooked and the squid should be bigger. Services was ok, no complaint.

Easily my favorite place to get ramen in the area! I order takeout from here at least once a month and it's always made perfectly each time. The staff is very friendly and very knowledgeable as well. I'm also impressed at how quickly they have the food ready to go. I've also dinner in here several times and it's always a great time.

There are no downsides. The food is the best Japanese food I've ever had, the ambiance is fantastic (they have anime playing all around the restaurant) and the prices are mind-bogglingly cheap. Highly recommend the curry.

Definitely one of the beat Ramen Noodles that you can get from around, if not the best. The place remains my second best Ramen place after another place in Philly so far

One of the first restaurants I tried in Newark and it quickly became one of my favorites. Anytime I want to treat myself to a delicious dinner with friends, Ramen Kumamoto in my first thought. I've tried the Pork Gyoza, Pork Buns, and Charshu Ramen and they're all delicious. Personally prefer the gyoza to the buns, but that's just me. The Charshu Ramen is absolutely mouthwatering--I can never convince myself to try a different one because it's so good (wish I had a bigger stomach as I can never finish it all). The waitstaff are polite and accommodating--they sat my friend and me even when we came in less than an hour before closing. The restaurant primarily has seating for pairs, but can accommodate larger parties. From my experience, the place is popular with both adults and students. This is definitely a spot to consider when dining in the Newark area or celebrating an occasion--it has never disappointed me!

Food is delicious and great portion sizes Service is great! Nice staff, very efficient and you don't feel rushed even if they are quick Ambiance is good, plenty of seating. I got the $14 Tonkotsu

The food is really good quite liked the karaage curry rice it has excellent curry taste and the chicken if eaten when it comes out will be crispy. Pork Katsudon is more on the sweeter side than the umami side. It is still really good and I am impressed with the flavoring. The flavor for the pork was good but definitely felt a little bit lacking to give it a 5, but I still hold it in high regards. The ambiance seating is really nice we got Naruto and One Piece running right now on TV we got nice lantern shape lamps. It's a small cozy environment. The service was great also we got served water really quick and order was placed and served at good speed. Overall food wise 4.5/5 char siu onigiri 4.5/5 Karaage curry rice 4/5 Katsudon 5/5 ambiance 5/5 service Probably one of the best place I been to yet! Highly recommend to come try!

Go to ramen spot in Delaware. The staff is always so nice, the food is always fresh and delicious. I've had other ramen places that are okay but their broths are so much more flavorful. If you're unsure on what apps to get, you can't go wrong with the pork buns and onigiri.

Solid ramen spot off main Street. We were in town and chose this because it seemed to be the to rated place in the area. I assumed it was a Chinese or Korean run joint, but not sure. They do have at least one dish on the menu with Kimchi. In general didn't get the super authentic vibe. Ramen was tasty. Ordered the black oil one. Meat was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. Also liked the ginger pieces. You can add a side of small curry rice to the side for only $3, which is amazing value. That was delicious. Appreciated the free parking lot out back. We came on a Sat at 2pm and there were a few spots available. I can imagine the lot getting full at peak time though.

I don't like giving out 5 stars easily, but Kunamoto with its laid back atmosphere, friendly staff, and top notch food has easily gained a 5 rating from me. The broth is the best that I've ever had, the noodles are perfectly done, and the service is fast/easy/affordable. What more could you want from a ramen spot! I got the spicy ramen without chashu, which is a combination of all of their broths and spicy miso. Bowls are a decently affordable $14-$16 and it's located on the cool Main Street in Newark. If you're nearby and looking for excellent ramen in a casual atmosphere stop by here now! You won't regret it.

In town for an event and came across this ramen place. Cute clean restaurant with quick and friendly service. The food is good in general. We got the tonkatsu ramen. The noodles were cooked al dente. Better slurp up fast or it starts to soften soon. The broth was hot and tasty. While the tast profile is not complex it was still fulfilling. For $14 u get a nice hearty bowl of noodle. The egg was done well and the marinade used was good with a faint mirin profile. For $3 dollars more u can get a chicken karaage add on. Perfect for someone with a hearty appetite or a smaller portion for a child. My son got the pork katsu curry. For $12 u get a massive bowl of rice and curry. The katsu was crispy but I felt the pork was a bit over done. We also got the pork buns. The pork was melted goodness. The flavor of the pork wasn't very strong, so if you prefer a heavier tast u should slather on the spicy mayo. The cucumber and the lettuce helps cut the richness of the buns. This is a solid college town ramen place. If u are looking for a fulfilling meal without breaking the bank this is a good place to check out

Kumamoto was son's choice when we visited him at UDel on our way back from Tidewater Virginia. After five years in Newark, he knew the lay of the land when it came to restaurants. We met him there and waited about twenty minutes for a table to clear using the app at the door. Decor was Japanese modern with black tables and low stools. Service was prompt and efficient, with everyone on staff contributing to our pleasure. Our three ramens were large bowls of steaming consume loaded with appropriate ingredients. I needed both chopsticks and flat bottom spoon to work my way through it all. Can't pretend I am a ramen maven, but this vegetarian variation was wonderfully complex and delicious. Loved the small bore noodles that were designed for max slurp. My love and jeune fils also went to town and devoured almost all that was set before them. We gave the leftovers to our student so we knew he would have what to eat for at least another day. He always looked so thin when visiting. The term, "starving student," comes to mind. Anyway, we enjoyed the meal, and decided we would find more ramen kitchens to explore going forward.

First visited this place over ten years ago when they first opened. Like many ramen restaurants their vegetarian ramen was an after thought. I immediately wrote it off and never went back until today. Randomly checked their menu and saw they added new vegetarian options. Ordered the Vegetarian Tan Tan ramen with no "vegan minced meat" and added the inari as well as kikurage. The broth was flavorful, creamy and piping hot. Noodles fresh with the right thickness and chew. Added the chili power on top to kick up the spice level. This is definitely the best vegetarian ramen in Delaware. Service was FAST and took care of us quickly.

This place is always busy. We got our food to go - the chicken ramen, miso ramen And pork buns. We called it in, person who answered the phone said 15 mins. We got there sooner, and the food was already done. Everything was well packed, hot and delicious. Always a winner!

I went to a Ramen restaurant and didn't order Ramen go figure. I wanted ramen, but I also wanted to try the chicken katsu curry. The restaurant is not very big, but I could see it being popular since it is on the university campus. Although there was table seating available, I decided to sit at their bar area. I ordered the tempura shumai as my appetizer. The shumai was delicious and was covered in a lightly spiced bean paste sauce. The chicken katsu was very generous! The chicken was very crispy and the curry had great flavor. There was no way that I was going to be able to finish this meal. I did finish my salad. I will definitely be back!

Since I started visiting Ramen Kumamoto over 7 years ago now, they have consistently remained the best ramen I've ever had in the US. This place is popular for a reason, so if you're visiting during the school year on a weekend, be prepared to wait for a seat. This small little restaurant is quaint and cozy and will always have an anime playing on the TV screen, making it feel like home. Although I love all their ramen options, on my last visit I tried their tonkatsu ramen. I think what makes Ramen Kumamoto a step above the rest is the quality of their broth and the freshness/quantity of the toppings they add to each bowl. The creaminess and richness of the tonkatsu broth was decadent, and honestly I could've sipped it all down with a straw. The meat and toppings are also delicious and add so much to the dish, combined with the perfectly cooked noodles. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant -- I highly highly recommend. Even if you're not a ramen fan, there's something for everyone here.

Great ramen spot here in town. Yesterday was my first time here and I ordered the Kumamoto Dani Ramen to go. I totally forgot that they pack the broth, noodles, meat and vegetables separately. I was staying locally and brought it back, unpacked it, heated it up and enjoyed it very much. It was delicious and the portion was very big. I couldn't finish it all and had leftovers for the next day. I also had an appetizer of Japanese sausage. They were tasty and came with a mustard type of dipping sauce. They're almost like mini kielbasa but less salty. Next time I may try dining in. They were busy last night and there is parking on site.

*Indoor Dining Review* Came here for a quick bite and left rather disappointed. While it is my first time here, my girlfriend has been here before wanted to come for another visit, looks like they are trying to cut cost and took quality with it. Restaurant: 3/5 Service: 3/5 Food: 2/5 Parking: Free parking lot ~Restaurant~ Restaurant itself looks very similar to most anime themed Ramen restaurants, tables and chairs are clean. Ordering from barcode scan/menu. Takeout orders are taken via a Kiosk like Wawa does, very convenient. At the time we visited, the bathroom sink water had almost no pressure (Maybe it is fixed?). ~Service~ Fairly average, nothing to write home about. Staffs are attentive and friendly. offers just right amount customer service, nothing more and nothing less. ~Food~ Comparing Ramen to other places we've been to, the food is definitely below average disappointing for the price. At least Takoyaki is good. What we've also noticed is most (if not all) Ramen on the menu do not come with ANY Chicken katsu or Tonkatsu, you have to order it as separate item. That explains why Ramen came out so fast, all the items are all pre-cooked and cut, it is ran like Ramen fast food restaurant... again disappointing. What we ordered: -Takoyaki (Good, nice flavor) -Chicken Shoyu Ramen (Chicken was sliced like Deli meat, brooth is good. Ramen noodles are a bit under cooked, and comes out a bit too firm in the center) -Kumamoto Danji Ramen with Chicken (While you'd be WOW at first glance, you're getting a huge bowl of Ramen for sure. The flavor is a bit lacking, Noodles are cooked the same a bit under cooked, using the same sliced up pre-cooked chicken. Mind you do not get more protein out of it, all you really seem to get more of is the broth and the noodle. It is also top with some salty tasting pickle ginger, that did not taste anything like the ginger you're supposed to get on Ramen or on any Japanese dishes) Overall a rather disappointing experience. There are definitely better Ramen places. When we left we saw another Ramen restaurant right down the street and made us wonder if we should have gone there instead.

Really good ramen, super yummy and vegetarian friendly! I get the Vegetarian Shoyu Ramen with spice to add

Service is fast and friendly. It's always packed so try off peak times. The prices are budget worthy for a filling and delicious meal! Seating is kind of tight so it may be cumbersome for large families. Pay to park as their spaces get filled rather fast. Overall, best spot for ramen!

4 vegetarian soup options .. appetizers are basic. The place has limited seating so suggest to get a reservation on a weekend. tan tan soup tasted good than regular clear soups but was a little extra salty. Could have been a lot better. Service was prompt and good and maintained well

WOW ... truly most amazing Ramen dining experience I have ever had packed into a crowded dining hall, which might be an appropriate description since during the school year this awesome restaurant is packed with students from the University of Delaware or so I have been told. Superb service is topped only by this luscious broth that apparently has its origination in one region of Japan. It's so obvious that the chefs pay extremely close attention to the essence of Ramen, the broth!! The noodles were perfectly al dente and the assorted toppings made each huge bowl something to savor slowly. If only this restaurant was within a short distance from my home ... I'd be there ALL THE TIME but as Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger declared 'I'll BE BACK!!!!"

Great value, especially the mini curry bowl available for $3 as of Sept. 2023 with any entree! The tonkotsu ramen broth is light but flavorful. The charshu is cooked perfectly to melt in your mouth. The appetizers, pork buns, fried siu mai and takoyaki, are good but not amazing. Overall, it's great value and my choice for ramen in the area!

Gary P.

Yelp
This was possibly the worst ramen I've ever had. First of all, it was billed as a chicken based ramen. I ordered the shoyu flavor. What I got was a bowl of dark, super salty , yet flavorless soup with some okay noodles and some extremely dry chicken. For chicken ramen, it had no chicken flavor or other nuances other than "SALT". Coming from a Japanese household, ramen is a go to when a quick meal is needed. Ramen Kumamoto is actually below instant ramen in terms of flavor and so much higher in price for a sub-standard bowl of noodles. The pork bao was not much better in terms of taste. Slapping a spicy mayo in something does not mean other seasonings can be avoided. The gyoza was okay, though no soy and vinegar to dip. Overall, there was no care given to the food to develop flavors. For the price, it was throwing away a lot of money on poorly made food. If you are a college student... save your money and buy some store bought ramen and jazz it up yourself. You will save dollars and have better flavor with your sodium intake.

Smacked in the middle of the u of Delaware campus. This place is busy and full but there is constant turnover so you get seated quickly. Everyone was a student so it must of really stuck out with 2 older patrons asking to be seated. You put your name on a waiting list tablet by the entrance and they call you when a table is ready to fit your party. My friend and I waited for about 5 minutes. We ordered 2 ramen orders - a miso ramen and a mayu ramen. Both were very flavorful. The service was fast and it was great. We ate, paid and was on our way in less than an hour. Probably more like 45 minutes. Would recommend this place if anyone is in the area and wants some flavorful ramen that definitely hits the spot!

Great ramen shop. Well worth the price tag. Cool ambiance if you choose to dine-in. The ordering process is a bit strange and the kiosk made me feel like I missed the opportunity to get something I might like more than what I ended up with. The food was delicious!

Had the miso ramen, $15.40, Seaweed salad $5.50, and an Charshu Onigiri $3.30. The Miso Ramen was delicious, lots of noodles, pork. The seaweed salad was good, but not a big portion. The Charshu Onigiri was just ok, kind of bland, dont recommend it. Overall it was good but not cheap.

Great ramen! Great apps! You should go when in Newark! The restaurant was having technical difficulties the night I was there. No credit cards were being accepted, but one particular associate launched into action and created a workaround by having guests order through the delivery app. They were so on point throughout the evening that I wondered if they were the owner. They weren't, but maybe they should be. Despite the difficulties, the wait was short and the ramen, gyoza and tempura shumai were perfectly prepared and everything I was craving.

Another really good place to eat in Newark. No, it's not comparable to the better Ramen joints in NYC or elsewhere, but it's really good. They are reasonably priced with generous portions. They are not stingy with the toppings. They are easily customized by noodle type and you can even specify node doneness. They have quick and considerate service and really nice broths. Stick with the noodles, coz the rice is frequently overcooked and mushy.

This place is on University of Delaware campus. The portion is very generous and the price is very reasonable, largely due to its on campus nature. Food wise: absolutely love the mayu ramen. Not a big fan of the ginger. If I had a chance to do it again, I'd request removal of ginger. And this is more like a tasting preference, recognizing many ramen places (at least in the States) mix the gingers to the ramen. Must have appetizer are chicken katsu and yakitori. They are just tasty and amazing, very tender and full of flavor. Service is amazing. Ambiance nice for both dating and small group of friend gathering. I'm really only stopping by to eat on my way from DC to NYC. If I had this one downstairs from where I live, I'd opt for it everyday.

I was hankering for some Ramen and this place did NOT disappoint!!! I suck, cause I didn't take a pic of the Pork Gyoza, and it was so fresh and yummy Perfectly steamed..still drooling. The service was quick, kind and inviting. They described the dishes really well, they made my Miso Ramen Spicy and it was friggin amazing. The pork was so tender, the noodles were al dente, I mean... I ate the WHOLE BOWL, with zero regrets. All in all I would say this place hit the spot! Could the place have better decor, yes but funny enough, the place next door had great decor but NO ONE was in it?! This place had hardly any decor but the place was busy! Just goes to show you can't judge a book by its cover. Thank you all for a delicious meal!

I was visiting the Newark area, helping my friends move into a new apartment. Unfortunately, the weather was horrible, and we were determined to eat something warm and filling after a rainy day, but were also in the mood to pick up food, since their apartment was completely packed up. They recommended Ramen Kumamoto, so we ordered online and went to grab it. The ramens were all well-packaged and stayed warm all the way home. We didn't even have to reheat anything once we got home! I honestly don't recall what my friends got, but I got the Tonkotsu Ramen, my go-to! The broth was creamy and savory, the meat was tender (fatty, like normal ramen, but a heads-up in case you're into really lean meat for whatever reason), and the egg (my favorite part of ramen, honestly) was perfectly jammy. I got the white straight noodles that are the default option, and they were very well-cooked. The portion was generous and there was a nice amount of veggies in it. If you order online, you can also customize really easily, adding other toppings or removing anything that it normally comes with. I went with the default options, and it was spot on! After a rainy day and a lack of lunch, this ramen hit the spot and I would highly recommend it to those in the Newark area. They also do sit-down service, which had quite a long line, but the pick-up was very quick and smooth. The inside looked cute, but since we didn't sit, I can't really comment on the vibes.

The appetizers here are very good. We ordered the karage, pork buns, and onigiri and enjoyed all three. Now lets get to the ramen. I would say they are good for newark delaware but if we compare them to top spots in ny then they have a long way to go. I got the spicy ramen and it had kimchi in it which i found strange but otherwise decent. My fiancee got the tan tan ramen and it has a strong fermented bean flavor that we didnt like but overall it was ok.

This place over the past year has become my all time go-to and favorite. And I live 30 minutes away in MD! Well worth any kind of drive. When dining in, they always give great service and I always make sure to match my tip with it. Not to mention even if they're filled to the bring with customers, the food always comes out so quick! I've never had to wait any more than 10 minutes at most and 15 when very busy. It's amazing and consistent every time! Even the take out is consistent and perfect! Well done kitchen and well done to the always kind and helpful waiters/waitresses! Sincerely, one of your regulars :) EB

I've eaten ramen all over the country--this is by far the best! I ordered Mayu Ramen and it was fresh and full of flavor. 2 p.m. on a weekday and the place was full, so clearly a local favorite. Atmosphere was nice, quaint and the restaurant was clean. Server was attentive. I would highly recommend trying Kumamoto at your first opportunity, you will not be disappointed! Will absolutely go back.

Definitely one of my favorite places in Delaware! They have incredible ramen lots of options and bold flavors. Great service, cool ambience inside. It's a super cozy place for a solo meal.

Nice place to get some ramen and relax! We had the onigiri and takoyaki for appetizers and they were both really good! For the ramen I had the Kumamoto Danji, which had some flavors I wasn't the biggest fan of, but overall it was delightful and the portion was really generous. My wife had the Chicken Shoyu and it was also very nice. The service was pretty quick, and the servers were friendly. When we first came in I noticed they had a big TV playing Inuyasha which was a nice treat! I'm sure they rotate the shows but anyplace I can get good ramen and watch anime scores top marks from me!

I enjoyed the Vegetarian Tan Tan Ramen and it was amazing. The broth was very complex and the noodles tasted homemade. I look forward to a return visit here next time I'm in town. Great service!

The food is delicious. I recommend eating at the restaurant because they typically have good service. I've eaten here a few times and liked it. I like anime but the art and music is a bit overstimulating. I ordered the chicken katsu ramen. I asked for extra corn and they did give me corn. However, they did not give me fish cakes, which is one of my favorite things about getting ramen. Additionally, the check out person at the counter did not greet me and was not very friendly. Sadly, I have to ding for the oversight and poor service to a takeout customer.

My whole family really enjoyed our lunch here. We did a couple different appetizers, pork buns and gyoza I believe. Both were really good. I think we also did a fried chicken appetizer that was served with spicy mayo. The chicken was a little over cooked and seemed rubbery but the flavor was good and the dipping sauce very tasty. We both had ramen and my son shared mine. Our 7 year old enjoyed everything just as much as us. The atmosphere is great, it's just a small space. I'm sure we'll be back!

Me and my spouse went to try this ramen place because we miss eating ramen. This place was welcoming and the waiters treated you kindly. We ordered our ramen and it didn't take long to wait. I got the chicken shoyu ramen and it was delicious! Definitely going to be ordering ramen from this place ^_^

Hit up this spot on the way back to PA from DC. Small, quaint little restaurant that is pumping the food out! We both got ramen which was so good! The other food being served also looked amazing! Staff was very quick and friendly as well. The only down side is the parking. We went around 7pm or so, the restaurant parking is not well marked for the surrounding restaurants and when we went to leave we were blocked in by someone in a well marked no parking zone. Took a bit, but we eventually got out. Plus, there are several restaurants and businesses in that are so it would be difficult to track them down and ask them to move. Just keep that in mind if you decide to park in the lot behind the restaurant, otherwise park across the street and walk the block or two.
