    Red ramen
    Regis H.

    Excellent service, excellent ramen. Red, white and tampopo ramen were all great. Loved the incredibly thin hot pepper strings. Allergy friendly with customizations made due to an egg allergy. Loved the artistic treatment to the wall's plaster, Japanese books and magazines, and clean and simple atmosphere.

    Tonkotsu spicy ramen!

    Served in more than 5,000 shops in Tokyo alone, and 24,000 across Japan, ramen, is revered for its complex depth of flavours of the broth to the perfect chewy and characteristic yellow colour of the noodles. This traditional Japanese dish made with noodles, broth and slices of meat, actually originated in China before making it's way to Japan. One theory states is it was first introduced to Japan by a neo-Confucian scholar Zhu Shunsui when he brought the recipe when he escaped thé Manchurian rule in China to serve feudal lord Tokugawa Mitsukuni as an advisor. Unfortunately no historical record of Shunsui actually cooking ramen for Mitsukuni exists. Hence most historians reject this theory in favour of the more plausible story that Ramen was introduced by Chinese immigrants in late 19th-20th century at Yokahama's Chinatown. Back in Montreal, after being deeply influenced by an unexpected encounter with the "Mama" who operates the original named Tokyo based Izakaya on Nakamichi Street (Japanese gastropub), Chef Jumpei Iwakiri recently opened Nakamichi, which operates as a Ramen bar by day and a full service Izakaya in the evening. Here we had the chance to try a bowl of the spicy Hakata ramen made with tonkotsu pork broth with its milky complexion, deep savoury taste and full, silky texture. Behind the kitchen was Xavier and Ben, respectively from Melbourne and Sydney, who explains that the reason why the broth milky white, unctuous in texture, is thanks to pork marrow bones and fat cooked for hours, simmered to smithereens. This said there are many variations of ramen and the collagen-rich mouth feeling does not always agree with everyone's taste buds. Cher Jumpei's passion for good cooking, high-quality ingredients, and welcoming ambiance is definitely well felt and supported by a wonderful staff. If you come early, you'll also catch his wife, Yuri Ishikawa, who keeps an eye on the operations. Hope to come back to try some of the evening options!

    Their ramen had a good flavour, and I quite enjoyed the texture of the noodles which were curly and a bit on the thicker side.

    While I was in Montreal, I had to check out the FAMOUS Kinton Ramen (yes, I know about this spot…read morefrom their graphic t shirt collaboration with Uniqlo LOL). I stopped by around 8:45 PM, 15 minutes before they closed, but the staff were so kind and lovely, let me dine in, gave me a free drink on the house, and even told me to take my time and not worry about closing. I ordered the spicy garlic pork ramen with thick noodles, and I was blown away with how flavorful the broth and QQ (chewy) the noodles were. I didn't like the pork that much and found it a bit tough and gamey, but they do have two other types of meat (chicken, beef) as well as a vegetarian option available, as well as seasonal menu specials. If I was at McGill, I'd probably visit this spot a bit too often LOL, and I highly recommend checking them out for their comforting ramen bowls and incredibly kind service!

    Stopped in for dinner and got the following: - Beer/Sake…read moreCombo: Comes with Original Pork Ramen and a choice of beer or sake. I went with the beer. You also need to decide if you want thick or thin noodles, went with thin. - Original Karaage Simple interior design and layout, either you sit at the tables or the bar. The staff member was very friendly, service was quick and the food came out fast. The Karaage was perfectly fried, seasoned and delicious. However, no dipping sauce is provided, all other joints that I've been to will give you a mayo dipping sauce, not here. The Ramen - noodles were perfectly cooked, however honestly package ramen had a better flavor than their Original pork ramen unfortunately. I had expected this rich and creaminess of the pork broth, that was sticky-lipped intensifying, but it was not. This was disappointing and thus can only give 2 stars. I can't say for other noodle type, but original pork ramen needs a lot of work.

    My dad and I have eaten at this restaurant maybe 3 times now. It's a must for us anytime we're in…read moretown. This little spot opens around 5 and I recommend coming early, or expect a wait. You can also order to go here I believe. They really operate efficiently, expect fast service! Tables are tightly situated and there's a cozy bar situation where I sat this time, able to watch the chefs cook right in front of me. The daily specials are posted on their Instagram page, as well as written on pieces of paper around the restaurant. My server quickly helped me to water and a glass of sake. I placed a to go order for one of the daily specials, the grilled sea bass with sushi rice and salad, with some kimchi. I also ordered the BBQ chicken with tortilla and salad, as well as vegetable gyoza. Everything was incredible. Truly. The gyoza came topped with green onions and was SO crispy and hot and was perfect with their soy sauce. I thought sea bass was wonderful with a unique almost smoky flavor that melted in my mouth paired with the slightly sweet sticky rice. The barbecue chicken was great as well and better the next day. One thing I don't really understand is why they served plain flour tortillas cut into quarters with their food. We didn't utilize this, nor the white butter/mayo sauce that came alongside it. I hope to eat here often, for years to come and am so happy to see this iconic Japanese restaurant still thriving years later.

    This was a highly recommended place so we weren't surprised to find a line up when we arrived. We…read moreweren't sure if it would be worth the wait but the family in front of us raved about it so we decided to stay. No regrets! We were a party of 3 and waited about half an hour to be seated. There is not a ton of seating in the restaurant. It is small and the tables are quite close together. We were a little disappointed that they ran out of salmon so we couldn't order any salmon sashimi dishes. We got skewers which were absolutely delicious! We also ordered takoyaki and okonomiyaki but there was nothing special about those. Wouldn't really recommend the okonomiyaki either. Would definitely recommend trying the Shrimp Burger and the Salmon Calcium (salmon pate).
