Really enjoyed my experience & lunch at Biiru. The blond Ale Beer was perfectly cold & refreshing as I experienced in Japan. & the Okonomiyaki was excellent as the waiter promised. Really cool atmosphere & really worth it to have lunch there. I will return for sure when I want that nostalgia of Japan.

Had a very pleasant meal here with my friend. We went for the tasting menu as well as two cocktails. Service was solid, our main server was friendly & attentive. We were pleasantly surprised at the amount & quality of food as the tasting menu was only $45 pp. My one complaint was that it was VERY protein-heavy with barely any veggies. I think the only vegetables were inside the gyoza & the carrots & mushrooms that were part of the beef tataki (which was delicious). It would've been nice to include the gai lan or even a salad in the menu.

J'adore ce restaurant japonais de tapas. C'est bon, casual & le service est impeccable. Les côtes levées & la salade de concombres sont mes choix préférés.
