Bonjour, nous sommes venus à 3 & nous avons adorés le service & la nourriture ! Les gyozas végétariens ainsi que le tarutaru sont à tombés par terre ! Les takoyaki semblaient venir des cieux !
Nous reviendrons autant que possible ! Notre serveuse était superbe ! Merci à tous

PS: le lieu parfait pour rencontrer des québécois aventureux !

Amazing Japanese restaurant in the heart of downtown! We were seated outside on the terrace, but as it is completly closed & has large warmers, we felt very comfortable even if the temperature was bellow 14°C the day we went.

As for the food, OMG, almost everything we tried was delicious, everything was fresh & the service was quick & efficient. I highly recommend the saumon bonbon, the salmon tartare, the Okonomiyaki & beef tataki. The Veggie Gyoza & the fried chicken were just okay.

I really liked the outside patio, it's well covered in case it rains. The waiters take good care of you & are kind. The only downside is the food portions are a bit small, you have to take around 3 dishes per person if you want to get full & it can get expensive quickly. Also the food could be more authentic but I understand that the place is more of a fusion restaurant.
