Qualité vraiment impressionante, en particulier pour le prix. À Montréal, c'est vraiment parmis les plus proches des sushis au Japon sans faire sauter la banque.
100% recommended!

I enjoyed my experience at Isakaya, the place is small & quiet. The service I received was proffessional & polite, I was served at a decent speed throughout the evening. I was quite happy to get some selection on the alcohol card, alot of sushi place don't serve alcohol & when they do its not always sake either. The ingredients used in the sushis tasted fresh, the grilled calamari was a pleasant surprise & the chicken dumpling we're great. I will be going back to try more items on the menu. The location is very convenient if you have a vehicule, no shortage of parking there guaranteed.

I honestly wouldn't come back.

The food was pretty disappointing. We ordered the fried calamari, & it didn't seem to be cooked properly-it was still a bit undercooked. Then we ordered the teriyaki chicken, but the sauce was way too sweet, the chicken was very dry, & at first glance it even looked more like salmon than chicken. The dumplings were okay, & the octopus balls were decent, but they weren't enough to make up for the rest of the meal.

What made the experience even worse was the service. The server kept staring at us almost the entire time, even while we were eating, which made us feel really uncomfortable. It honestly felt like we were being watched the whole time for no apparent reason. We're both 20-year-old adults who were simply there to enjoy a meal, so it was an odd & unpleasant experience. We also noticed that this didn't seem to happen with other customers who came in later.

Overall, between the disappointing food & the uncomfortable service, I can't recommend this restaurant.

Food was good, but, customers shouldn't have to wait 2 hours for their main food to arrive. I really don't wanna be that person but the 4 workers seem confused with what there doing & i often see two people do a one person job. The women what i assume is the manager seem to take her time standing around staring at the workers or reorganizing plastic containers when someone is at the cashier waiting for her.
