Never had ramen in Montreal before but the ramen game has picked up recently. I was looking to try a new spot and stumbled upon Ichifuku; it blends in with its surroundings so you might miss it if you're not paying attention. I dropped by around 8:00pm on a Monday evening. Wasn't busy but they were already out of tonkotsu! They ended up having to close early and turn away a few customers as they ran out of broth. The music they had on made for some good vibes. Was surprised they were playing a mix of hip hop and popular music. Service was friendly but a tad slow. Wait for my ramen bowl was much longer than I'm used to. 25 minutes for solo dining? Isn't there a reason you sit at the bar? Lucky I wasn't in a rush. - Tan-tan men ($11.00) - spicy sesame pork in chicken broth. First time I've seen snow peas added to ramen. Broth was better than I expected. No MSG is used, heat level was good but the star was the in-house noodles. Great chewy bite; just wish there was a bit more. They take credit cards. Good bowl of ramen. Reasonably priced. 3.5 stars. read more

4 stars: Tan Tan Men Spicy and flavorful. We ordered thicker noodles but the texture feels a little hard for me. Overall, would recommend this entree if you're here for ramen. 3 stars: Tonkatsu with garlic oil This lacked flavor for me, maybe because I ate the Tan Tan Men soup first. Either way, I'd probably pass on this ramen. Overall, there's plenty of other restaurants in Montreal that I think are a lot tastier! read more

I LOVED this place! The ramen was amazing. The service was really great too, and because our ramen came with some spice that could dirty our clothes we were given little bibs. For appetizers we got the spicy karage(only has a little kick to it), and fried dumpling appetizer that came in a really good sauce. Beware, the ramen is HUGE! We both ordered the special volcano ramen to which you could adjust the spice level to. I got the non-spicy. It came with chicken karage inside it as well. My bf got the level 2 spicy. Our waiter told us that it might be too spicy, but he really liked it! It opened up his airways. The atmosphere of this little shop is so cute and lively! In the window, you can see a woman making the noodles as well. I wish I lived here to come back read more

It's okay quality ramen. Prices are affordable ($11 ramen + $4 side). I went there on a Saturday around 2PM and there wasn't any lineup at all - got seated quickly. Took around 5 mins before they took my order or gave me water though. I ordered the Tonkotsu Kuro Mayu and gyoza! I wished there was more black garlic oil in the ramen. I remember the soup being pretty salty too. Overall, the food did the job and wasn't anything exceptional. I would go here again as an affordable ramen option if I was already on the area and didn't want to venture too far for a better place. read more

Ichifuku is the right combination of quality and price. The servers were courteous, the food came out promptly and it was delicious. We started with an order of edamame and an order of gyoza. This was followed by the hot & sour vegetarian ramen and the miso with chicken ramen. The ingredients were fresh and the food was flavorful. The seating is limited so timing is everything. We got there a little after 5pm and were seated immediately. Shortly after we arrived a line started to form and by the time we left it was out the door. The decor and furnishings are utilitarian and basic...but if you're dining here, it's because of the food and not the ambience. read more

Came in this afternoon to try since there was so many great reviews. My husband and I are long time ramen lovers and have traveled everywhere trying ramen. We hope this review with hope that the restaurant takes it as constructive critique and find ways to improve. We ordered the Karaage garlic and ginger to start, tonkatsu black garlic ramen, and the Volcano Ramen special medium spicy (this one was recommended by the server). Took a while before we could order. We were looking around as the workers were running around as they were a little busy with delivery/pick up orders it seem. The Karaage was not traditional. Big pieces of fried chicken. Sitting in garlic ginger sauce. Tasted good. We ask for some Japanese mayo but we were told everything was homemade and that they didn't have mayo (mayo can be easily homemade but we didn't make a big fuss), so not the traditional way it is usually served. It tasted good but it could of been better and crispier if the Chicken was cut into bite size pieces instead of 4-5 bites pieces. The ramen came out next. We really like the freshly made noodles. The tonkatsu was really different and interesting with the black garlic. Tasty! The Volcano ramen on the other hand was a different story. First off it was not spicy. Tasted exactly like noodles in Kimchi juice except kimchi is way more flavorful then this bowl of ramen. The volcano tasted like it was missing something, or a lot of things, lacked depth, as if all the chef did was mixed broth with Korean chili pepper flakes. And to top it all off the poached egg was a bit over cooked as the yolk tasted chalky. I ate half of my black garlic ramen and then offered my husband to trade and try his other half of the Volcano ramen (because no one should have to go through a whole bowl of terrible ramen) We don't judge food base on the service, so one star was for the black garlic was not bad and honorary star for the ordinarily fried chicken attempt at trying to be a Japanese Tori Karaage, and another star for friendly service but we found it odd that no one checked or ask if everything was ok until the very end when we told them our honest opinion about the ramen. read more

Came here on a Friday afternoon. Not much people inside the place. The waitress greeted us friendly and let us to the table. We placed our order not too long after but to our surprise when there weren't much people in the restaurant and they have 4 people working in the kitchen. Our food took forever!! The ladies came after us and ordered after us got their food first! And we all ordered ramen. My fiancé even ordered COLD noodle. We guessed that they want to give us our food all at once. But I didn't know ramen or cold noodle would take so long to make. I though the soup base, meat and miscellaneous are pre-made! We only order a ramen, cold noodle and pan fried dumplings. Was that a lot of food? Dumpling came fast but they aren't fried the same (different sides) felt a bit unprofessional; a 10 years old can do a better job. The waitress noticed our uneasiness and kept apologizing whenever she brings us the food and thanks us for the patience. She did a good job thus the stars. The decor was okay, I find it comfy and I overly decorated. The food was okay, but nothing special. Less oily compare to other ramen place and also less toppings as well. Overall, food was filling but the wait was ridiculous for so little customers and for many people for in the kitchen. I don't think we'll be back again. read more

This is a nice place for ramen downtown. The prices are more than fair , you get lots of tasty food for your money. The atmosphere is cozy and casual . While service is a little slow they're very welcoming and friendly. The ramen is really flavourful and satisfying , the piece of barbeque pork inside is quite large and very tasty and well cooked lots of meat not just fat, the noodles had great texture and really absorb the flavour (they are made in house which is a nice touch and makes a difference), the broth is good as well nice and rich.Their Gyoza dumping and fried chicken appetizers were both delish! I really enjoyed it here and can see myself coming back . read more

Ichifuku - Miso ramen - Ramen Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

TLDR: Fantastic Kaarage and nonexistent service. A friend and I arrived at the restaurant to a queue of two couples, and the servers gave no mind to the line forming at the door. There were two spots at the bar, which my friend and I were happy to take when we learned the others only wanted tables, but we couldn't get any of the servers' attention. After waiting for twenty minutes, we weren't in a rush, three tables freed up and everyone in the line was seated. I decided to get the ramen combo with a miso chicken broth base and kaarage as my side. I also got a Sapporo to was it all down. The Kaarage was phenomenal, which is why I gave this restaurant three instead of two stars. It was juicy, crispy, and tangy all at the same time, and the fluffy rice underneath soaked up all the leftover flavour. If you go here, you have to get the kaarage. My ramen wasn't to my taste, but I can understand how it would be to the taste of others. I should have gone with the Shoyu broth, but I wanted to try the miso and I found the broth to be unbalanced. The in-house noodles were very chewy and felt underdone, but I guess some could say it had a bite to it. The ramen came with corn, mushrooms, tender pork, spring onions, and half an egg which lacked a runny yolk. One compliment I can give the ramen is that it is very filling. The servers are clearly very nice people but they were unaware of the needs of their customers. I only had my water filled at the beginning of my meal and it was impossible to get a refill as they walked around with their eyes to the ground. With tax and tip, my meal came out to just under $24. Would I come here again? Only if I had a friend who really only wanted to go to Ichifuku. There are too many places in Montreal to try for this restaurant to warrant a second visit on my own volition. read more

Out of all the ramen I've had in the world, this place is just "eh" I think I had higher expectations with the Sakana Tonkotsu to have a deeper pork flavor but it didn't. The bonito flavor was absolutely wonderful! The noodles were VERY al dente, almost a whole level less cooked, but needless to say the chew adds to the soup's flavor. All the condiments were nice additions: benishoga (pickled ginger), wood eat mushrooms, egg... but the egg was totally overcooked for a ramen egg, was about boiled. The spicy miso tonkotsu had good flavor as well and was pretty thick, which is a good sign for ramen, and the thin noodles were nicely al dente and overall it was pretty good, minus the egg part. Service is pretty attentive and the people were nice, just the food was not completely there, so it's an average, "I NEED it" mood type-of-place. read more

Tonkotsu broth was PERFECT. I usually never finish my ramen broth, but this time I loved every bit of it. It was rich and flavourful, but not too salty. You can tell a a lot of time and effort was put into making that broth. Noodles were awesome too, not like those knockoff instant noodle types. They don't go overboard with the toppings, because the basics of a good ramen is the most important. Also, service was lightning fast! Food came in a jiffy too. Wow. Still dreaming about that broth. read more

Ichifuku - Tonkotsu ramen - Ramen Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Came here twice and have some mixed feelings about this place. The first time i took the tan tan men and the broth as well as the noodles were perfectly made. The noodles were very chewy and the broth was very flavorful. The second time, i took the volcano ramen. It was way too salty and it was hard to finish it. Didnt want to risk getting hypertension or acute kidney disease... The service was good until a large group people came in. They started serving only them and it took us 30 minutes just to get the bill. Overall the place is ok, but first experience was way better than the second one. read more

This restaurant just opened yesterday! It is a small restaurant (I would say ~25 seats included the bar) and they have 8 selections of ramen on their menu (they also have rice, appetizers, dessert, beers, etc. But my friend and I didn't get anything else). I would like to try their karaage next time (when I'm not sick)! I got their tonkotsu ramen; I like their thin noodles which reminds me of those at Ippudo (one of my favorite ramen restaurants)! I wish my noodles were more under-cooked since towards the end, I find that my noodles were too soft (I like it chewier and firmer). It would be great if we can pick the texture (firmness and softness of our noodles). Their soft-boiled egg was too cooked (the york wasn't even partially liquid but the egg white part was really soft and tender). Their chashu (BBQ pork) was soooo tender that it really melts in your mouth (the piece was quite thick). This compensates for the over-cooked soft-boiled egg! My soup had a little bit of chicken flavor, which was a bit weird since I ordered the tonkotsu ramen. I think they might have mixed the pork and chicken broth together. The soup was also not thick/rich enough.. But then, the good thing about this fact is, the broth is not too salty! I'm more used to ramen from Asia (Ippudo, Ichiran, Butao, Tonchin, etc.) So I find that my tonkotsu is lacking flavour, but be assured that I'm not a fan of salty ramen. I think saltiness and flavor is too different things. I would give this a 3.5/5. The service was really fast, we didn't wait a long time before receiving our ramen! I think the noodles are home-made since they have this big noodle-making-machine in front of the restaurant. read more

Japanese food appears to be one of the booming trends in Montreal Asian food in the last few years. Many large cities in North America saw the boom in the last while based on the popularity of Sushi then Izakaya. Ichifuku is a strong contender for top echelon ramen in MTL. Located on St Cath W there is a plethora of Asian restaurants. I decided after trying Yokato Yokabai to come test another ramen joint, so I came here. The first thing you notice as you enter Ichifuku is the industrial looking noodle machine at the front of the restaurant. It's a clear indication of serious intent to bring fresh ingredients and quality to the establishment. In Japan (when I visited 16 years ago) Ramen is taken seriously. It's akin to how North American carnivores (and usually men) take steakhouses seriously. The restaurant is brightly lit and clean and feeling like it was a diner in another era. For my lunch I went with the Tonkatsu kuro mayu soup. At $11 it's very reasonably priced. It came out piping hot a few small slices of pork, scallion half soft boiled eggs and a beautiful milky buttery garlic broth. Overall the soup was a strong 3.75/5. I did find the soup not as hearty as other ramen places. The noodles were a good texture of chewy and definitely fresh. I was a bit dissapointed as for condiments it only came with shichimi togarashi (dry chilli). It would have been nicer with fresh condiments. Go ahead and charge me $2 more the fresh condiments would be better. Overall with tax it came to $12.65. I would come back here and try another soup as they had lots of selection on the menu. Service was courteous and expedient. read more

Friendly service and good tasting ramen. Also, their Gyozas are super tasty, the best in Montreal! Ramen has chicken soup based or pork soup based. I personally prefer the pork soup as it is more thick and flavourful but I am sure their chicken soup is good as well. The ramen noodles come in different thickness, request your favourite thickness! read more

Finally got around to try this new ramen joint in my hometown with another fellow Yelper. The ramen scene in Montreal was very limited in authentic options (except for Ramen-Ya, always #1 since my teen years!) that were both affordable and convenient. Ichifuku is a stripped-down sit-down restaurant where the focus is on delivering hot, fuming ramen bowls to curious and less curious eaters hunting for an exotic meal. Despite the cold atmosphere, devoid of any decoration, the welcoming was warm. Staff greets you in Japanese at your entrance, isakaya-style, and seats you in one of their 30 seats or so. The environment reminds me of the no-frills takeout Japanese restaurants, except that the high ceilings and open-concept kitchen set the mood for a modern Asian eatery. As usual, I ordered a shio ramen with regular offerings. Broth was as clear as expected, maybe a bit more salty than what I expect from Japanese soups but still palatable. The toppings (bamboo, bean sprouts, seaweed, pork shank and soft-boiled egg) were executed to perfect, especially the egg. The noodles were a bit deceiving: I knew that they weren't made on-site, but I didn't expect to taste some noodles still in clumps (because of the way they are packaged). Nonetheless, it was an enjoyable ramen for a fair price (around $11). Also, it's worth nothing that portions are HUGE compared to typical Japanese places. Also, a variety of beers on tap are offered. Ramen always pairs well with a Sapporo or an Asahi (best!). Definitely coming back: Montreal is ready for ramen, and Ichifuku sets the bar high. read more

Ichifuku - Miso ramen! Delightfully savory, a bit too salty, but the umami flavour was pleasant. Huge portion, beware! - Ramen Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Delicious ramen!! The noodles are made right in the window, and you can just taste that they are fresh and homemade--so tasty and tender! The broth is flavourful and rich, although be prepared for saltiness, if you haven't had ramen before. The service is so friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is fun and relaxed. I will definitely be back for more! read more

Now that's good ramen. Admittedly my fave ramen for the neighbourhood is still schlouppe on Mackay, but Ichifuku comes in as a close second. Also, I like that this place gives Ganadara a run for its money in terms of ramen quality. The space is unpretentious though tastefully designed (which I really appreciate). It's a healthy contrast to the really decent plating and fantastic food at a very reasonable price. While I have to agree with other reviewers that the service was variable, I do have a lot of respect for the one woman show that was the service on a busy Monday night. Also the food came pretty fast so I can't complain too much. Vegans- they have two specifically named vegan items on the menu (one ramen and one rice bowl) but I get the impression you could tweak other items on the menu to be full veg. read more

The restaurant I was trying to get to was surprisingly closed for the Sunday (hours posted on a crappy piece of paper on the window! Bah humbug) so I dropped in here instead, as the noodle making machine out front looked promising. Unfortunately we caught them on a bad day - their AC was broken. We committed to staying anyway because we didn't know where else to go nearby, and the staff were very nice and showed us in immediately. The place is averagely sized and features an open concept kitchen - normally really cool, totally not on a day where the heat warning should've been in effect and their AC is broken. The waitresses were both very attentive bringing menus and iced water to help cool us down, and we quickly decided on Tonkotsu ramen bowls with black garlic oil, and an order of chicken karaage to start. The menu has your standard variety of options, a fair number of appetizers, and a great combo deal where you can get a ramen bowl and a side don (bowl of rice with some meat item on top). Items were fairly priced for a ramen shop, and I discovered the portions to be generous. The wait was a bit longer than expected, but not intolerable. The chicken karaage came first with a ball of mashed turnip. There's quite a bit of salt on the chicken, but it was still quite crunchy and the pieces were large and meaty - definitely one of the best I've had. The turnip helped to cut the salt, and I was overall quite satisfied. The ramen bowls came next and looked great. The broth was rich and there was lots of black garlic oil - they did not skimp out at all. The soft-boiled half egg was perfect, and my pork was tender and flavourful. The noodles were the thin kind - I wish they had asked and given me the option for my preferred thick noodles - and they were chewy yet soft. As I ate through the bowl there was continuously still noodle left, there was no shortage at all! Unfortunately that also meant some of it stayed clumped at the bottom and fused itself together, which was annoying given the lack of space in the bowl in general. This was definitely one of the best bowls of ramen I've had, which is notable having gone to a number of ramen shops in Toronto as they popped up all around town. The broth and flavour is great - though some may find it too salty for their taste. If not for the chicken karaage tipping the scale a bit on the saltiness, and my noodles clumping at the bottom of my bowl, it would've been an easy five-star decision. What redeemed them was the super attentive and nice waitresses - we never had to ask for a refill or any other services, they just appeared at the right time right away. One interesting thing we noticed was that the staff spoke Japanese - makes the whole experience more authentic right? No worries, English and French are also well-commanded languages among the waitresses. read more

I found this place to try another ramen restaurent than misoya ramen. They give some special ramen like volcan ramen. 3 level from non spicy 0 to spicy level 3. Actually, it's not really spicy (compare to Mckibbins Rim Reaper wings). Very tasty for someone who like spicy food. I tried it with extra chashu because the topping is the fried chicken cube. It match perfectly with the spicy sauce in the bowl. Talk about the soup. It's not too salty for volcan ramen. But the one my Gf tried is salty. But still very good. White creamy with oil. I definitely will come again to try the classic miso ramen. read more

Ichifuku is usually my first choice on Japanese ramen because they provide delicious food. But today I am disappointed. The pork meat in my ramen is out of date and I am pretty sure the taste is wrong. So I told my friend do not to eat it. When waiter ask us about the taste, we tell the truth. Sadly, Ichifuku does not solve the problem. They taste my friend meat and tell us everything is fine. And they said it is my fault because my meat come from the same pork. So my meat should be fine too. I don't want to bargain for anything but their attitude is not good. I think the position of Ichifuku just went down in my heart. And I won't recommend this place to my friend anymore. read more

The broth is pretty bad (especially in the tonkotsu kuro mayu one ) and The egg was way too over cooked. We also ordered some fried chicken. The taste was good but it was pretty cold when we got it.

Yes! The bad-ramen streak finally comes to an end! After trying a few of the latest ramen hotspots and being rather disappointed, this was a total success! My biggest beef with all the new ramen places is they end up being more about trend than taste. This, however, was some top notch ramen. First, the noodles. So fresh and so good. You can literally admire them being made right next to you while you devour your bowl. And they make different varieties, so depending on the ramen broth you choose, it'll be paired with a different noodle type. I had the miso, which came with a round slightly fatter noodle, while my husband had the Shoyu, which came with a skinner noodle. Both excellent by the way. One of my favourite parts about this place was that you get to choose from all the classic ramen broths. They have both chicken and porc based broths, which is rare as most places tend to specialize in one or the other. I can't comment on the porc ones, but the miso and shoyu were both excellent. And finally the porc pieces were generous and tender, without being overly fatty. On all counts, an excellent ramen bowl. read more

ATMOSPHERE: It's a cute little restaurant with simple decor. Kind of like a classic Japanese ramen shop with a touch of modern decor. I'd suggest sitting at a table and not at the counter cause it gets hard to move around when your seating space is limited. FOOD: The food was delicious. I had the Volcano ramen (level 2) and it was amazing and spicy. I also love their spicy and classic karaage. The flavor itself was great. Their portions go hand-in-hand with the different prices. I will for sure be coming back! PRICE: Prices were very affordable, especially if you compare them to similar restaurants in the area. Ramens range from 9 to 13$. SERVICE: The service was great. The chef is super friendly and the waitresses are very nice as well. Although it is a tad bit slow at peak hours, it's to be expected when it gets so crowded and they're understaffed. read more

Friendly staff Food took a little long to get it delivered but ok my rating is purely based on the food. I had their Volcano Ramen (L1) - there was nothing to it other than ONE flavor. Just red spice flavor. It was bland and boring for me. Sadly and in a long time, I actually didn't even finish half way because the broth was one tone (flavor). Although the fried chicken in it was decent but that's about it. I also tried their tonkotsu, it was definitely better than Volcano but the broth wasn't thick and the flavor wasn't very rich (compared to other ramen places) The portion is definitely bigger compared to other places but based on my experience, I've had better in mtl. read more

It was by no means bad - it was just ok. We ordered the miso and shoyu ramen, as well as both (pork and vegetarian) gyoza. Service was quick and we got seated immediately. The food came in around 5min after ordering, but this was most likely because we came early at around 6pm. There was not a lot of soup for the abundant amount of noodles provided, but the broth was flavorful and the noodles had a bite to them. The char siu that accompanied the ramen was sliced thick and a bit dry, while the gyoza was flavorful but greasy. We found that the vegetarian gyoza was a bit spicy and actually was more flavorful than the pork. Not bad but not the most excellent either. read more

I don't normally eat alone, but when I do it's normally out of desperation. I went to try a bowl of ramen at this establishment after a long day of work. I invited my best friend to accompany me, but apparently, he had better things to do and couldn't be bothered to join me -- so I ventured onward solo. Luckily, it seems that eating ramen alone is kind of the norm in Japan, so no one looked at me weird or was shocked when I requested a seat alone. As a matter of fact, there was lots of seating to accompany single diners, and as it turned out I wasn't the only loser eating alone this evening. What a relief! If my taste in ramen was as good as my taste in friends, I would never dine alone again. At least I know that Ichifuku will always be there when I need a shoulder to cry on. Although the server was not comfortable with me crying on their shoulder. The ramen was actually pretty good. I'd go back again, but they politely asked me never to come again. read more

Some of the worst ramen I've ever had. Not sure if the regular chef was out on Sunday night, or what the problem was. I ordered the spicy miso ramen -- a pretty standard, 'safe' choice at a ramen joint. The noodles were uncooked(?) and horrible non-ramen consistency; the 'broth' was a gouy-glop, more akin to goulash and not at all like the light soup-broth it should have been; the flavors were utterly bland; the piece of pork and small dollop of mushrooms were passable. The server was very nice. I'm really uncertain as to how this place rates so well on Yelp? I've eaten ramen around the world -- and have had excellent ramen at places in Taiwan, Japan, and the Washington, DC area -- but this ramen was bad bad bad. read more

I went to this place with a group of friends with high expectations because i hadn't had ramen for a while and was feeling particularly hungry that evening. My friends all ordered the level 3 volcano because they like to challenge their threshold for spiciness and i went with the braised porc ramen soup. I had had braised porc ramen while visiting NewZealand the year before and it was one of the tastiest meal i had experienced so i figured i would enjoy it here as well. But alas, upon being served the ramen i immediately noticed that the noodles were undercooked and the porc wasn't anything like i expected which is normaly thinly sliced and melts in the mouth. These were low quality chunks of porc which are normaly found in buffet style stews or canned soups. In addition, the broth was so lackluster and odd tasting that i stopped eating after just a few spoonfulls. Not the mention the egg was hardboiled! I asked my friends how they were enjoying their dish and they all said that there was absolutely no spiciness to speak of which was the main reason they were excited about this place. I'm giving this place a one star because the service was great however none of us enjoyed our dish and were all utterly disapointed. I honestly would have been more satisfied if i had just cooked instant noodles at home. I'm dumfounded by the people who say this place serves good ramen. read more
