| - Refreshing little spot on St Laurent (and in my heart): clean, calm, tiny, restful, not too bright, friendly knowledgeable staff and delicious cozy ramen. I'm not an expert but a friend who had lived in Japan for years pointed me here and I was not at all disappointed. Not the exceptional shiney purity of tastes and ingredients as at Kazu, but a huge cut above a lot of the grizzly bar food on the Main. I've only tried the spicy chicken and a vegetable ramen so far, both healing big bowls, deliciously flavorful, not at all greasy, super comfort food. The price is under $20, so typical for Montreal, but a meal like this would be cheaper in less expensive cities, and on less expensive streets (the rents on the Main have gone bananas.) C'est la vie I guess; I'm awful glad Ramen-Ya is around.
