Amazing!! We brought our 3 kids and everyone thought it was delicious. The service was outstanding and the ramen was one of the best that we have had anywhere, even as good as Ramen from Ganso Ramen Yokocho (Ramen Alley) in Sapporo, Japan. Can't wait to come back. read more

This was the best ramen I've ever had. Hands down. Gyoza was especially good too, nice and crispy, with a flavorful sauce. I really appreciate minced beef-makes it so much easier to eat. Anytime I am in Montreal, I WILL be stopping here. read more

Delicious Ramen. The miso vegetarian broth was super flavorful and delicious. The udon was nice and firm and chewy, just how i love my udon ramen. The portion was generous, and filled us up. The staff is very courteous and friendly. The price range for the ramen bowl was affordable as well. Cute spot, great for family. They have cute souvenirs. For purchase by the payment counter as well! The sake was delicious, and if you can not finish it, you can take it home as well. Great find! read more

Found this via yelp. It was close to my hotel in Chinatown and was very low key and chill which is what I was looking for with my luggage. The menu comes on a tablet and you can click through to see the individual pages and items. I have had ramen before but I'm also not too knowledgeable about it so I went with the classic soup with sliced pork and a water. The food comes out very fast. The soup was pretty tasty and hot but not too hot to not enjoy right away. The staff speaks English, if you're like me and ask before ordering. You can pay via cash or card. read more

They have lots of vegetarian ramen options, which can easily be made vegan, so that got me in the door. I ordered the imperial rolls (2 spring rolls; $3.50 plus tax), and the miso vegetable ramen with assorted veggies ($16.50 plus tax). The spring rolls came out within a few minutes, and the ramen came out within 10 minutes. The spring rolls were pretty lame -- mostly batter, with little filling, which was mostly cabbage. I wouldn't order these again. 2/5 The ramen was pretty decent. Their regular ramen noodles contain egg, so I got mine with thin rice noodles. The soup came with a nice variety of veggies, including green cabbage, bok choy, seaweed, corn, and carrots, and a drizzle of green onion. The noodles were generously portioned and cooked well. The broth -- the centrepiece of any ramen -- was OK, with a fairly salty miso base, but not the flavour complexity of a superior veggie ramen. It was tasty, just nothing special. 3/5 Go to Umami for truly excellent vegan ramens. This place is just solid. A decent spot. read more

I appreciate this place so much. The little ones have some food allergies and they were able to accommodate them. On top of that, it's some of the best ramen I've ever had! Definitely going back. read more

As a traveler, I always try to explore Chinatown when I can. This place was all and all just okay. It was on the second level so you have to walk up 10 stairs or so to get seated in a pretty small establishment. The menu was simple, which I prefer. I'll be honest though, I was expecting more from the gyoza. The flavor was a little underwhelming. On the other hand, the Sumo Ramen with the peppered broth was really good and the pork wasn't bad as well. read more

Im a bit on the edge about this place. I want to give it a 4 stars for only 1 item that we've ordered here. The spicy beef stew ramen my gf ordered(upgraded to udon noodles) I ordered the shrimp ramen (upgraded to udon) and my bf ordered the mini sumo ramen (pork based) We also ordered kimchi which was nice as a side dish for the ramen soup. I tasted my order which was the shrimp ramen, it was ok... but the soup didnt have a shrimpy taste, it was pork based broth. They could of at least gave me chicken because i dont eat pork. When something smells a bit gamey to me, its a complete turn off. So i tasted my gf's spicy beef stew , that broth was perfectly seasoned. Just enough spice, salty, and beefy. We end up switching. I finished my soup within a couple minutes. The beef, the shrimp, the flavor of that specific broth, the beef pieces, and the spice was completely delicious. The bean sprout added the crunch factor which was tasty. The kimchi helped enhance the flavor a bit with more spice and sweetness from the Cabbage. Be ware if u dont like onions, there are lots of onions in the kimchi and some in the broth of their soup. I wana give it a 4/5 only becuz of the beef stew, other than that, overall its a 3.5/5 Very basic ramen place. I would come here again for the spicy beef stew broth . Good job impressing me Sumo Ramen. Montréal has you as a hidden gem in China town. read more

This is the third ramen shop I've ever visited, so read this as a ramen newbie review. It didn't beat the one in Calgary, but best in Montreal. A lot of options and we went with spicy pork and a shrimp ramen dish. Both were very tasty and well balanced in texture of ingredients. Would eat here again easily. It was late, but the place was packed so it's a good sign. Pictures posted read more

Haven't had a bowl of ramen that I didn't even finish half of in a while. The noodles were too thin and not chewy or consistent enough. The spicy shoyu broth was not thick enough for my taste. I didn't even finish the chashu (which NEVER happens) because more than half of it was fat. Only the egg was somewhat enjoyable. The food was 1/5, I'll add 1 star for the service which was not bad and relatively fast. The price is pretty standard for ramen. Note: only debit and cash accepted. read more

Although the quality of the food is respectable, be mindful of your final bill. I have noticed that on a number of occasions the price of items is higher than what is posted on the menu. Since this has occurred repeatedly, il can only assume it is with the knowledge of the business owners. Very disappointing. read more

Very good! Took family of 4 with 2 teens. Everyone enjoyed! food was very tasty and every bowl was filling!

Sumo Ramen is some damn fine buttery ramen and izakaya with a convenient location to boot. Seriously, I could have eaten here at least three more times during my one week stay this year in Montreal. Every morning, I would wake up craving Sumo's delicate creamy broth. Drinking it up with the large ladle they provide makes the entire experience even more amuzing. Upgrade to the shio ramen and you will thank me later. Me personally, in the future I am saying yes to corn and no to bean sprouts. I believe the owners are from Hong Kong, however this is some mighty fine Japanese style ramen! The izakaya dishes are also praise worthy, rivaling even some of the most popular Manhattan 8th Street establishments in my book. The Takoyaki was absoulutely perfect in every way, even the inside was cooked to perfection. They also even serve bubble tea of the milky variety. I don't think that they will make it into a smoothy for you, so don't even bother with that one. We arrived so early that the boba was not even ready yet, so I went with a large frothy taro sans boba. read more

This place is located on the second floor on the Main Street in China town. My sister and I shared a porc ramen bowl, a takoyaki plate, and some edamame. All were okay in taste. We sat by the window so we had a nice view of St-Laurent. Prices were was fair and staff was friendly! read more

Amazing prices and great ramen!! I ordered the volcano ramen as is and it was really tasty. So much food for such a low price! The food is super tasty and the prices can't be beat. I stopped by here on a Tuesday night and it was still bustling. I can imagine that it gets very crowded on the weekend. They accept credit cards (not Amex) and there's an ATM if you need to grab cash. This place is located at the far end of Chinatown and up a staircase lined with Christmas lights. I highly recommend if you like ramen and are in the area! read more

Sumo Ramen was a pretty good experience- I had never been to a place that sold solely ramen until I went there. The server was very nice and friendly. He made suggestions for appetizers. We decided on octopus balls. I've never had those either until then. They were pretty good! The ramen is also very good. It was a bit blend for me but they do have sauces on the table for extra taste to it. read more

Sumo Ramen - Won ton ramen avec balls de octopus - Ramen Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Sumo Ramen. Should have went with ramen? Since my friends were trying the ramen, I went with the beef curry. Big disappointment. It did not taste like Japanese curry I've had elsewhere. It was just yellow gravy with a tad of spiciness. The slices of beef did not help either. It didn't look like the picture on the menu. The ramen noodles do not look like authentic ramen, more like Chinese noodles. We also had the okonomiyaki. There was no description, but it taste like takoyaki in pancake form, a little bit of octopus. They also offered bubble tea. I don't think that's Japanese. As some other yelpers have mentioned, this is probably a Chinese-own establishment. The service was a little slow. It took a while for the waitress to take our orders. read more

I've avoided this ramen place for 4 years because of the mediocre reviews and i'm not gonna have mediocre ramen. However, as part of my mission to try all the ramen in Montreal, I decided to give this place a shot. It's got an old school vibe with menus under the table glass, fans blowing, and oddball decor. I got the chashu ramen with the shoyu broth and udon noodles. The portions sizes were big, and the meat pieces were cut real thiccc. I understand why there are some complaints about the noodles, they use somen noodles for their ramen and that gets soggy fast. So i would recommend the udon. Also, the broth was mediocre in terms of flavour, but it was mild enough to drink. One of my biggest ramen concerns is too salty broth so I did enjoy this one. We also got deep friend cuttlefish tentacles as a side. It was a large portion, but it was also mostly batter. Anyways, the food is not amazing but the prices are good and I would probably go there again to try their other sides. They've got an eel rice set too, which I have been craving. Great spot to grab a quick meal and not spend too much! read more

Sumo Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Sumo Ramen is a solid, cozy ramen spot. My boyfriend and I came to Sumo Ramen on a snowy November night, craving some warm broth and hearty noodles. We were seated promptly, and ordered the shrimp dumplings to share. The dumpling broth was incredibly rich, and I could tell that they used bone broth, probably steeped for a long time. The shrimp dumplings themselves were large and meaty, with a tender wonton wrap that wasn't too doughy. For our entrees, I ordered the Volcano Ramen (ground pork, seaweed, and a soft-boiled egg), while he ordered the Spicy Beef Ramen (pretty much the same thing but spicy beef chunks instead of ground pork). Both of these ramens were designated "spicy" on the menu. At Sumo Ramen, you can customize your broth base (we both chose pepper, but you can choose between pepper, shoyu, or miso), and your noodle texture (ramen, udon, or vermicelli). Both ramen broths were so savory and rich; while it was a little on the salty side, this ramen broth was probably one of the heartiest broths I've tried. The spice level was perfect, and added a nice kick to the savory broth. The egg was deliciously tender and well-seasoned, a wonderful complement to the rest of the dish. I do wish their noodles were a little thicker / more ramen-like consistency, because they were on the skinnier side and might have been cooked a tad too long. Nonetheless, a satisfying and delicious dinner! I would absolutely recommend Sumo Ramen and hope to be back next time I visit Montreal. read more

I was exploring Old Montreal and saw the yellow brick rooftop that read 'SUMO RAMEN' in black letters. It let me to discover chinatown montreal, and my and my girlfriend fell in love with the district. After some shopping we headed to the restaurant for a bite to eat, and conveineantly placed is a menu by the front door. I picked out the Ramen Miso with shrimp wonton, and my girlfriend had the chicken miso ramen. The portion was massive, and very hearty. The waitress, and waiter were extremely kind, and topped up our water consistently. Very affordable, and the leftovers were great too. I wish I had more time in my trip to try something else on the menu. Next time!!! 5/5 stars. Sidenote, there are a decent amount of stairs leading up, and if I recall correctly not wheelchair accessible. But skipthedishes is available. read more

Meh, it wasn't bad, nor really good I was more impressed by my sides than my ramen. Too small and again half an egg. Why? Why skimp half an egg? It was an ok bowl. I was more impressed by the takoyaki. read more

We've been here a few times, but tonight was the best food we've been served over the years. It was exceptionally busy tonight and the food honestly tasted a lot fresher and tastier. The wait was worth it. The gyozas were perfectly crispy and the okonomyake was flashy and delicious. Our ramen soups were the Volcano Ramen and the Ragout Beef.m with shoyu broth was stupendous. They made it extra spicy for me. Although not the most consistent restaurant but tonight they blew us away. read more

It was our first night in Montreal and my sister and I needed a warm and filling meal. We decided on Sumo Ramen based on its proximity to our hotel. The service was good and so was the ramen. Both my sister and I got the mini pork sumo ramen and added nature. I chose the pepper broth and my sister chose the miso broth. As I stated my ramen was good and the pork was tender and savory. My sisters ramen was good but cold and we had to send it back. Overall a satisfactory place, decent price, for a warm meal on a chilly Montreal night. read more

A real bright gem for Japanese ex pats and likes in the heart of Chinatown. Having moved here from Japan so many years ago, I yearn for a real Japanese food even more every year. This joint filled that void in me. A real ramen joint in Montreal? It can't be true! (oh yes, it's true!) Menu included 7 or 8 kinds of ramen which you can choose soup base from miso or soy sauce. Gyudon (beef bowl), Unadon (eel bowl), Curry rice, etc, all the right menus at right price points. I was a bit skeptical of its authenticity at first, given the Chinatown location, but I was proven dead wrong. I had a Kazan ramen and gyoza. Mmm. gyoza! Gyoza is wonderful, every living men in Japan loves them, and it can put people ecstatic state if they taste good. Sumo restaurant hit homerun for me. First off, where else in Montreal, can you find a handmade gyoza that are grilled in a right way with pari-pari (thin sheet of gyoza skin) on top? Knowing how much easier to serve you a frozen gyoza for a restaurant, these guys are serious about the gyozas and it shows in the flavor. The ramen was wonderful - having had ramen in other resto on St. Laurent in upper Main, sorry but there is no comparison. As a ramen junky, I loved the selection of ramens and I think it's so cool to have a real Chinese addition to the menu. You can choose to add selective toppings much like the restos in Japan. The soup tasted great and I definitely think that it was adapted well for customer base in Montreal, not to say that it was bad, but to assure that this restaurant is serious about staying in business as well. Yes, I am totally impressed with the food and I am thrilled even more that there is a restaurant who cares and respect a very popular type of Japanese food, most appreciated by ordinary people. One of the staff there told me as I was paying after the meal, the chef was a Chinese but spent 7-8 years in Tokyo food business. Makes a complete sense and I want to applaud him for having the gut and resource to pull this off. Having this restaurant in Montreal definitely makes my homesick a lot easier to deal with. So if you are a Japanese ex pat, you should definitely go there and enjoy the gyoza and the ramen. if you want to experience a definitely most popular type of food in Japan, you should go there too. Nothing can bring down my happiness about this restaurant, but because I was so impressed with this restaurant, I would like to offer a few points of my wish list to make this joint a KING of ramen in North America: - soy sauce, vinegar and hot oil at every table for customers who would like to make their own gyoza dipping sauce. - porc on top of the ramen could be lot more fattier and it would be perfect if it can be lightly blackened on the surface like in Tokyo - I would love to see a ramen with gyofun (ground dried fish) or katsuobushi (bonito frake), which is becoming sooo popular in Japan - Tsukemen (noodle served in a separate bowl and a dipping sauce) would be also awesome - Use of Korean bread crumb (larger frakes), not western bred crumb (almost like corn meal) for fried shrimp and scallop would make it even more authentic read more

Sumo Ramen - Instagram: @TonyRyad - Ramen Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

While this wasn't the best ramen that I've ever had, Sumo Ramen definitely deserves major props for being one of the only restaurants to be open for lunch on Christmas Eve in Montreal. After getting turned away by at least a dozen other restaurants, my family and I were more than grateful that we finally stumbled upon this little ramen place that was actually open (Pro Tip: don't trust Open Table when booking reservations in Montreal--we made so many reservations at places that were supposedly open, but in actuality, were not GRRR). I ordered the Kimchi Ramen, which was definitely tasty, but not mind-blowing, like ramen I've had at some other places. I got the combo, which included a soft drink and a side--the takoyaki octopus balls--but was still hungry after. I definitely thought the portions could have been bigger. The flavor was definitely there in the soup, but the ramen itself could have been tastier. While my ramen was good, my brother's Volcano Poutine was better. The fries were crunchy and flavorful on their own, so when topped with the gravy, seaweed, Sriracha and cheese, they only became better. I was skeptical about how good an Asian-inspired poutine could be, but I shouldn't have been, because it was delicious. I was definitely initially deterred from coming to Sumo Ramen because of the 3-star rating, but I'm glad my family and I stopped by for lunch on Christmas Eve. Thanks again for actually being open and for feeding this lot of ravenous Asians, Sumo Ramen! read more

I'm always on the hunt for delicious Japanese foodz, whether it's in my home cities - Boston and Montreal or when I'm on a day trip to New York City, or touring through the West Coast; though I'm quite satisfied with my sushi and yakitori finds, I always felt a lack of great ramen-ness in my Japanese food experience. Though I cannot comment on its authenticity, since I don't consider myself a ramen expert. A bowl of sizzling hot and spicy volcano ramen at Sumo is delicious and satisfying. The menu is comprised picking your choice of noodle, soup and then 'toppings'. I took the volcano soup (spiciest on the menu, naturally) with ground pork, topped with scallions and seaweed, and being Chinese, I committed the sin of taking Chinese noodles in ramen. I love the flavor of the broth, intense but not overly rich and the perfect spiciness is numbing and warms the heart (perfect for a winter day in Montreal). The noodles are delicious, perfect texture and consistency. I quickly gobbled down the whole (giant) bowl of noodles. I thought the ramen prices were reasonable, but other appetizers (i.e. yakitori) seems rather expensive for the portions. Overall, it was a yummy experience for me and I'll be back for more. read more

I ordered the cold ramen with shrimps and a plate of scallops. Both of my plates were drowning in soy sauce. The cold ramen was disappointing. It was a weird assortment as they mixed the noodles with half of a boiled egg, sliced tomatoes (why?), cucumbers, oshinko(japanese radish), a small amount of fake crabs and shrimps, which by the way were tasteless. It felt and tasted very cheap. read more

Sumo Ramen - Udon au caviar - Ramen Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Sumo Ramen, attracted me while walking down St Laurent, by the cute little logo they had on the sign outside. I decided to give it a try one day and I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. The ramen isn't really authentic Japanese ramen, but rather a fusion with Chinese food. They also have a number of side dishes and appetizers to try as well including popcorn friend chicken, which is one of my favourites. The ramen itself is pretty well made and they have multiple options for types of broth and toppings. The food comes out super quick and the servers are very nice and constantly come to fill up your drinks. I would say the ramen noodles are similar to what you would get at your standard bubble tea shop, but with better toppings and broth. The price is also very cheap, so it's not going to hurt the pocket by any means. I'll definitely be dropping by again when I'm around the Montreal Chinatown! read more

I was expecting hand made ramen as they advertised, at least implied, but no, its the dry noodle from Chinese market. Not even udo! That is like serving walmart's one dollar pizza at an "authentic" looking Italian restaurant. I also ordered kimchi, guess what, the kimchi is at least a month old. Does not have flavor and sour in an old way. Normally, the koreans like the kimchi a bit sour, thats one week sour. If you keep kimchi in you fridge for more than a month, it ferments too much and become fermented sour. A verdict? Do not recommend. BTW i am an asian and i know what i am talking about and i believe you deserve something better. read more

Sumo Ramen - Some pork ramen can't remember. Not recommend. Only looks good - Ramen Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

We've had ramen in Shanghai, Singapore, Hong Kong and Szechuan province and Sumo Ramen ranks among the best authentic Chinese ramen we've ever had. This is China Town's hidden gem with a bountiful selection with very fresh ingredients and authentic recipes. We were amazed and that never happens. Try the beef ramen, it's incredible. The dumplings are hand made, very light and crispy. Everything was clearly made from very fresh ingredients. It's a cozy spot, casual and warm, the staff is nice but it can get busy. Expect a crowd, but the service is always fast and hot. The prices were surprisingly reasonable given the fare. The only downside is with parking. There's a paid lot practically next door but they will gouge you. Street parking is always a gamble. Still, for the meal you can expect, it's worth the extra hassle. Enjoy! read more

ATMOSPHERE: It's a little restaurant on a second floor that can only be noticed if you really pay attention to the signs outside. The inside is on the smaller side. There are a few anime posters hanging on one side but that's really the only decor the restaurant offers. FOOD: I personally like the food here. I usually order the fried chicken ramen (the chicken comes on the side) and I really enjoy it. The broth isn't too salty and the noodles are nice and tender. I also usually get the takoyaki (octopus balls) and those are decent as well. PRICE: Prices aren't bad, especially for the large portions you'll be getting. I do find their price for takoyaki a little expensive but their prices for ramen are affordable. SERVICE: A-okay, the staff do what they're supposed to do. read more
