Tori Ramen — Restaurant in Mount Royal

Tried three ramen—Shoyu, Shio, and Miso—and each one was excellent. The broth was rich, flavorful, and well-balanced, just like an authentic Japanese ramen shop. However, I felt the addition of more cabbage and bean sprouts (moyashi) would enhance both the presentation and authenticity.

The karaage chicken was crispy and tasty, but with only four pieces per plate, I was hoping for a bit more. A slightly larger portion would definitely make it more satisfying.

One small issue was the chopsticks—they were a bit thick at the bottom, making them less comfortable to use. A slightly more tapered design would improve the experience. The ambience inside the restaurant is great, with comfortable seating in the new mall location. The pricing is slightly on the higher side, but considering the excellent taste, it’s still reasonable.

Overall, a great place for ramen lovers in Montreal.......will...

Tori – A Bold, Beautiful Bite of Modern Japan in Royalmount

Tori at Royalmount delivers more than a meal—it offers an experience. The atmosphere is modern and moody in the best way, setting the tone for what’s to come. The outdoor terrace is delightful… you forget that there’s a busy highway nearby.

I had the mazemen with mushrooms, truffle oil, and egg yolk—and I’m still thinking about it. Rich, umami-packed, and perfectly indulgent without being overdone. The kind of dish that quiets a table mid-conversation. Every bite was earthy, silky, and deeply satisfying.

The service was seamless and attentive, and the entire vibe felt intentional—from the lighting to the soundtrack to the beautiful plating.

If you’re looking for a place that blends Japanese tradition with upscale flair, Tori nails it. Come hungry,...

I'm into authentic good quality ramen and this wasn't it at all. The tonkotsu broth had a watered down onion/garlic powder taste with none of the complex umami simmered pork flavor. The pork was some tough bacon slices, not the flavorful tender thick pork belly you'd expect. The noodles were also relatively low quality. Even the kikurage didn't have its usual crunch, it felt like maybe it wasn't fresh. Oh, and there is an excessive layer of flavorless fat on top. Good tonkotsu should have flavorful fat emulsified in the broth, not a super thick layer floating on top...
