The food is repeatedly described as delicious and filling, with a mix of donburi, poke bowls, curry, poutine and burgers, and favorites like chicken katsu poutine and beef curry praised for flavor and portion size. The atmosphere is intimate and casual, with fast service and friendly staff noted, and the restaurant is described as a great late night option that opens late and offers takeout. Values are generally good, with generous portions and reasonable pricing for the quality, though a few items can lean greasy and some dishes such as curry or potatoes can be cold or a bit underseasoned on the day. It draws crowds at lunchtime due to nearby schools, yet is beloved for its unique menu, variety of flavors, and a comfortable setting that encourages lingering. Guests also mention the range of drinks including sake, whiskey and beers, and highlight desserts and a compact but well rounded menu, making Shokutsuki feel approachable whether dining in or grabbing a quick bite.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Resto Bar La Verriere receives largely positive feedback with wings described as outstanding and often considered the best in the region, along with beef tartare and pizza that many diners praise, while prices are seen as fair. Service is repeatedly noted as friendly, professional, and attentive, helping create a welcoming atmosphere. The space is described as large and airy, with a festive feel near the Verriere area and a more relaxed dining zone, though the overall ambience can be noisy and some reviews call for modernization. Cleanliness is generally good but not without critique, with a request to tidy salt and pepper shakers and occasional remarks about inconsistencies in food preparation. On some visits a dish like calamari was undercooked and portions did not always match price, yet other experiences remain very positive with consistently tasty fare. Overall, the restaurant is viewed as a solid choice for families and groups, offering kid friendly options and non alcoholic beers, with wings and other staples providing the strong draw.View restaurant profile

Ramen Japanese Fried Chicken

Review Summary

Otto Ramen is described by reviewers as serving a chicken ramen that can be tasteless and overpriced for the value, with many noting that there is better ramen for the same price and that it is not worth recommending. The basic chicken ramen with onions is considered expensive, and even when it is decent it would be more affordable elsewhere. The vegetables gyoza are noted to be crispy and fried.View restaurant profile
