I went to Biiru on a Thursday night & was greeted by a nice & professional hostess. We were seated at the bar where we were greeted right away by our waiter Mike. The hostess & Mike were very knowledgeable about the drinks & food menu. We enjoyed our experience, the food & cocktails were very good. The staff was excellent.View more

We decided to try Biiru as recommended by some friends & being a food critic, I was totally impressed by the food, the service & the vibe. Very relaxed environment, nice music & felt totally at ease. We all felt taken care of & that the whole team was in charge & very attentive to our needs. Very very good experience. Our waitress Juliana , suprised us with all of the food as we let her choose for us. Will definitely be back & will tell all my friends.View more

Juliana was so amazing & provided great customer service, however the food was not that great. There was so much sauce in almost all of the dishes that it was so heavy we couldn't enjoy it anymore. The beef & eel dishes had so much sauce that it felt like eating three table spoons of sauce. The beef skewer with the cheese was impossible to eat because it was a massive chuck of cheese with a thin slice of beef that was not tasteful. Extremely unfortunate since the decor & vibe is beautiful. Juliana was wonderful & understanding of the situation too!View more

They got the group experience down pat. Great idea to provide a preset number of dishes to be shared at a fixed price. Makes everything easier. The payment doesn't scale however. Somewhat noisy which makes the aforementioned group discussions difficult (especially for older people with hearing issues like me).View more

Loved our visit to Biiru while in Montreal! Having just visited Japan this past summer we felt like trying out a local Canadian take on the great food we had on our trip & were not disappointed! Great Karage, Takoyaki & awesome sake! Julianne was a great server & gave us great advice on what dishes we would enjoy would recommend to anyone looking for a chill vibe & good food!View more

We had a show at place des Arts & we were looking for somewhere to go eat before. A few weeks we had went to Hanzo & they had told us that they are working together, so we decided to give it a try. They have the same menu only a few different stuff. We got the Hasu chicken & we loved the sauce was very good, it was sweet yet spicy. The candied salmon were good, they were fried, crispy on the outside & soft on the inside. I wasn't a big fan of the sliced beef(I didn't like a cubed beef) nor the pork ribs, I would not get them again(it was too heavy). The restaurant was busy, & our waitress Juliana was really nice, we both had ordered some bloody Ceasar are the beginning & felt like it was watered down or a missing ingredient, she was really nice to make us new ones herself & checked on us so many times to make sure everything was good for us. I find that she was really friendly & nice, she was exceptional.View more
