Review Summary

Café Noya comes across as a cozy, casual udon cafe in downtown Montreal that fits studying or casual meals. The menu centers on udon and onigiri, with beef udon and creamy miso mushroom udon among the popular bowls, plus flavorful onigiri such as unagi and salmon; several notes mention rich broths and chewy noodles, though some dishes are criticized for being bland or undersauced and portions can feel small for the price. The drinks and desserts, especially matcha based options and mochi, are often highlighted as standout items and a welcome complement to the savory bowls. The service is described as friendly and efficient when not too busy, but a few reviews report slower service, inconsistent knowledge about Japanese dishes, or hiccups with order accuracy. The space is repeatedly praised for its cute, welcoming vibe and good atmosphere for studying or hanging out, while a few comments mention it feeling cold or busy and noisy at times. Overall, the place is seen as a reliable go to for satisfying udon and onigiri with quality matcha and pleasant staff, with some room for value improvements and portion sizes.

Cute little Japanese cafe/restaurant. Basic Udon was pretty basic, lol. Glad I added chicken otherwise it would have been really boring. Broth was good. Loved the seafood taste without the fishy smell. Onigiri were fresh. Shrimp gyoza were good too, but a small portion for the price. Good service & nice decor.

I LOVE Café Noya. As you can tell by my pictures, I come here quite often & I've eaten a lot of items here & love all of it. The food here is so satisfying: hearty, tasty & yet not too fatty. Perfect balance as Japanese food always achieves.

The chicken katsu onigiri is seriously addicting (I could eat A LOT of those). You also can't go wrong with the creamy miso udon. Honestly, everything they have tastes fantastic. My go-to, though? Spicy chicken rice with extra beef. I could eat that every day (& I almost do lol).

The location is also very convenient if you take public transportation as it's right next to Peel metro.

I'm telling ya'll, Café Noya is a gem. I love the food, I love the staff. It's my favourite place to eat at after work.

The dishes are ok.
If you are used to Japanese food, stick to the udon & don't have omu rice or other dishes (lack of flavor, rice cooking is not the best)

Dango are served fridge temperature & the Sakura mochi rice is super hard.

The staff is nice but has little to no real knowledge about Japanese food despite the fact that this cafe claims to be a Japanese cafe (on several occasions, they did not understand when I asked for something like a hanami dango, correcting me'the 3 color)

A casual Japanese street food restaurant in downtown Montreal. You need to go to the counter & order/pay first. Then they'll bring the dish to your table. Tried miso cream mushroom beef udon & it was delicious! Credit cards accepted.
