Best Ramen - Edit
I had gyoza to start, a bowl of ramen and a donut with ice cream in the hole. It was all so tasty and it wasn't that expensive. Next time, I want to see what their drinks are like

Tasting menu was a highlight - Edit
We had dinner at Umami Ramen, and booked a table under the covered patio which I highly recommend on a warm evening. The patio is located a few steps behind the restaurant but was secluded and quiet but we had excellent service from the staff. We opted for the tasting menu which was such a fun choice and ended up being a lot of food. The meal started with 3 appetizers: edamame; a wonderful eggplant dish with shiso; and a Wakame and cucumber salad. Subsequent plates included goyza; a tasty dish of enoki mushrooms on Japanese spiced squash; roasted shishito peppers; tempura mushrooms; Agedashi tofu topped with umeboshi plums; okonomiyaki; a green salad; and dessert of yuzu ice cream and raindrop cake. I didn’t know raindrop cake existed but it is now one of my favourite dessert ever. So many fantastic flavours I don’t know how to describe them. It was a wonderful meal we will talk about for a long time to come.

Delicious - Edit
I went when they had just opened about 3 years ago, and I went last week, and everything is just as good. Great textures, balances flavors. And the donut. I would do bad things for this donut.

Good Japanese tapas - Edit
We took only starters, we particularly liked the korroke which was very well seasoned and the tofu was nice. Some dishes were too spicy ( korroke , okonomiyaki). Every starter comes with many little colorful ingredients.
Read moreThe place is nice, as the waiters. We wished it wasn’t so hot inside, the AC isn’t sufficient for this big room and it was too noisy ( we went in the evening).

Awesome find - Edit
Came here for my 40th birthday and it did not disappoint. Reservation is required so make sure you don’t show up without one.
Read moreKimchi fries were my favorite of the night. Fresh out the fryer and smothered in mayo and topped with kimchi.
The spicy tantanmen (tantanmen épicé) was delicious but o where near as spicy as the waitress warned it would be. Thick, savory sauce and full of tofu and vegetables
For dessert I ordered the raindrop cake. I wanted to try it ever since it became viral a few years ago. Very sweet with a toasted sesame flavor topped with agave syrup

Amazing - Edit
I’ve been on the hunt for a good vegan Japanese restaurant for a while and Umami Ramen did not disappoint. Everything we had was fresh, flavorful, and left us wanting more. I would recommend getting the okonomiyaki and karaage!

Délices japonais pour les papilles - Edit
Ce restaurant est une des meilleures adresses véganes à Montréal!
Read moreLe menu dégustation vaut définitivement la peine, les entrées sont variées et toutes aussi bonnes les unes que les autres.
Les ramens sont aussi très bons; les nouilles sont fraîches et les bouillons savoureux. J'apprécie aussi les garnitures; l''oeuf'' coulant fait de tomate est un must!
Pour finir, le beigne maison et la crème glacée molle au matcha est un incontournable.
Le décor est très beau et design. En été profitez de la terrasse qui est située sur la rue St-Zotique un petit peu en retrait de l'agitation de la Petite Italie.
Pros: Tous les plats sont frais, savoureux et délicieux., Dessert incroyable , Belle sélection de cocktails et saké

Great food and staff! - Edit
I actually never had Ramen before this but enjoyed it quite a lot. My vegan friend who loves ramen was very happy with the food. So if you are vegan and love ramen this is the place to go.

Loved all except spicy miso - Edit
The tempeh katsu is AMAZING, the noodles are great, and we enjoyed most of what we ordered. The only thing we didn’t like was the spicy miso ramen. It was too salty. I’d come again just for the Katsu.

Restaurant Stellaire - Je surkiffe! - Edit
C'est l'un des meilleurs ramen que j'ai mangé de ma vie. Les nouilles sont fantastiques - elles sont moelleuses et retiennent bien la saveur. Même les nouilles sans gluten sont délicieuses! (Mon mari ne mange pas de gluten). Les izakaya sont vraiment créatifs, surtout "le steak et les oeufs" de champignons enokis et confit tomate. Et les cocktails?! MAIM! Vous ne serez pas déçus.
Read moreJe n'ai mange pas de dessert. Mon estomac était trop plein!
This is one of the best ramens I've had in my life. The noodles are fantastic - chewy and they retain flavor so well. Even the gluten-free noodles are delish (my husband is gluten free, and I tried his. The wheat noodles are better but the gluten-free were so good he was nervous that a mistake was made!) The izakaya small plates are so creative, especially the "steak and egg" made from enoki mushrooms with a tomato confit "egg yolk." And the cocktails? YUM! You will not be disappointed.
I didn't try any dessert. I was too full!
Responding to some other comments, there are some dishes that are very salty, such as the miso ramen broth. I had the spicy sesame broth and it was much lower salinity, so if you're salt averse scroll through some reviews to figure out which dishes to try/avoid.
Pros: Fantastic food, Best vegan noodles I've found, Creative cocktails and huge sake/wine list
Cons: Some dishes might be a little salty, Reservations required

Ramen is Great - Edit
The Miso Ramen was delicious but food takes a long time to come. We also had the gyoza appetizer and it came almost 10 minutes after we were already done our ramen and didn't taste the best.
