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 have been coming to this restaurant since looong time ago; when they relocated from avenue parc to Lasalle, which then became too far from me back then & recently I visited twice within the last 2 weeks.

Bottom line, still the same great place & this is the Authentic Japanese restaurant run by Japanese family. To those of you who love sushi saying that you love fried dragon Maki roll with lots of mayo sauce, you may find it blend. You may say you like Japanese food but you don't want to eat raw fish or seaweed you will still find several options here, & one thing for sure I guarantee, for the price & quality you get in this place, it is rare & this is very close to what you can expect to eat in Japan.

You will find variety of fresh fish options for sushi, not just common type of salmon, tuna, crab meat & sweet omelet; you will find mackerel, scallop, squid, yellow tail & etc where you can eat them raw only when they are extremely fresh otherwise you will get sick. (See if you can find them at your all you can eat sushi restaurants). Other dishes including grilled chicken screwers, grilled squid, tuna carpaccio, unagi pie (grilled eel & spinach in a puff pastry with teriyaki sauce), Everything is perfectly seasoned, well prepared, & ultimately, their sushi rice is always perfectly cooked & seasoned. ( had enough of those places with soggy rice & they still roll their maki).

I highly recommend this place & I will still be a repeat customer.

This was the most authentic isakaya & I'm here for it! From the ambiance to the service it was a real Japanese culinary experience. The grilled mackerel & tonkotsu ramen was delicious. We tried their vegetarian ramen with tofu as well as their fried tofu starter. We will try more of their menu items! A must try in Montreal!

Had takeout there & everything was good. We had Tonkatsu, Gyutan, Age Natsu, Ohitashi & Unadon. Standout to me was the Gyutan beef tongue -great flavor & grilled yet tender texture. Food is not overly flavored or unhealthy either. I definitely recommend this place.
