Review Summary

Bistro Isaka is widely regarded as a premier destination for authentic, high-quality Japanese cuisine in LaSalle, featuring exceptionally fresh sushi, perfectly seasoned rice, and a variety of traditional dishes that reflect genuine care and preparation. Many patrons praise the restaurant for its reasonable prices and superior value, particularly during lunch hours, noting that the food quality often rivals experiences found in Japan. While the culinary offerings receive consistent acclaim, feedback regarding the service and atmosphere is varied, with some customers appreciating the efficiency and friendliness of the staff, while others report instances of slow service, a lack of warmth, or concerns regarding the dining environment. Reservations are highly recommended to ensure seating, as the popularity of this local gem can lead to limited availability and occasional distractions from a high volume of takeout orders.

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!

All I can say is, wow. Hands down best sushi I've had in Montreal so far. Hidden gem in an IGA parking lot, it's so unassuming. We were blown away by the quality of ingredients. The dine-in service was very timely & they were slammed with takeout orders. All for an excellent price. Telling all my friends about this spot :)

Sushi, a delightful dance of flavors & textures, has a way of winning hearts with its artful presentation & fresh ingredients. It's no wonder that it never disappoints! Each piece is a testament to the skill & creativity of the sushi chef, turning simple rice & fish into an extraordinary culinary experience. Whether it's the vibrant colors or the subtle blend of umami flavors, sushi is a treat that continues to surprise & delight with every order. Enjoy your next sushi adventure!

It has become my favorite place to go to whenever I want to eat out, favorite is the Ten Soba & the Karaage (lunch is cheaper/better value but sadly I only have time during the evening)
