Sansotei Ramen Sainte-Catherine

I visited on a Saturday at about 18h30. I took a Shoyu ramen and a mango cheesecake. The food was great. If you like ramen, it's you should definitely consider visiting this place. I wouldn't call extraordinary, but it's definitely good. The service was nice as well. Super polite and professional. They would ask often if we needed anything. Would definitely go again 👍

Ended up here by chance for a late lunch and so glad we did. We ordered two different ramens and both were some of the best soups we have ever had. My partner ordered the Tonkatsu+ soup and I had the Shoyu. 10/10 would recommend. Busy spot, lots of regulars. Service was very friendly and very fast!

I don’t recommend this restaurant, and frankly, if it were in Japan, it would close very fast. Their ramen is not good. We ordered two different ramen soups including the tomato ramen, which I personally tried and both were very meh. I didn’t enjoy eating there. However, we tried dumplings and chicken appetizers and they were good.

The restaurant is nice, the service is good and the ramen bowls are filling. Plenty of sake options, small beer choices, no wine. The first table near the entrance is regularly exposed to drafts from the front door.

We chose this restaurant based on Google reviews and it didn't disappoint. Friendly and welcoming staff, very well-served and delicious ramen. The gyoza appetizer was also very tasty and moist. The tonkotsu and shoyu ramen were both very flavorful. The mugicha wasn't great; it had a strange taste. My husband ate a matcha ice cream that was offered and he really liked it; it was very creamy. I don't like matcha, so I didn't try it.

Good portions, my go to when I’m downtown in winter. Soul soothing broth, highly recommended! Don’t miss out on their fried chicken!

❗️Negative experience / food poisoning Unfortunately, after visiting this restaurant, I suffered from severe food poisoning, most likely from the ramen. My condition was very serious: for the first 24 hours I was barely able to get out of bed. For about 12 hours I couldn’t even keep water down, which led to dehydration. Even the next day, my condition did not fully improve: my stomach is still not functioning at 100%, I’m unable to eat normally, and I’m experiencing dizziness. This was an extremely exhausting and potentially dangerous experience. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel it’s important to warn other customers. I sincerely hope the restaurant takes food quality and hygiene standards seriously.

I think my broth (spicy tantan) was a bit salty compared to others but that may be because I eat less salt. The ramen was nonetheless great! The waitress was also really chill and friendly so it was a great experience. Would recommend!
