Discovered this little gem while walking my regular route on my day off & saw they had Omurice, which for me is a rarity in the city. I stopped by & absolutely loved my simple meal ❤? the gravy was rich & sweet & the perfection portion, although I would have like more egg & less rice. I was only there shortly but the place is cozy as hell, welcoming & reminded me a bit of intimate little shops in Japan. I'll have to come back & try the Udon & the drinks for I kept seeing them on the lot menus & they all looked delicious, especially the ube latte. Great place to have some good Japanese comfort & a quaint convo. Or just read a book :)

Somewhat overpriced udon. The staff, however, was generally friendly & attentive. The restaurant is a bit more ad hoc'fast-food' than I would like. The udon itself was good, with the broth being the highlight.

Had such a great experience at Café Noya in Montreal. The atmosphere was super cozy, the food was fresh & comforting, & the matcha drinks were amazing. Our female server was also incredibly sweet & attentive, which made the whole experience even better. You can really tell the staff care about creating a welcoming vibe. Definitely a spot I'd come back to whenever I'm in Montreal!

Ordered the omurice through Skip & was pretty disappointed. What we received was essentially a fried egg placed on top of rice, not the style of omurice shown on their Instagram or what people would expect when ordering omurice.

The edges were heavily browned/crispy & the dish looked very different from their promotional videos on Instagram (ie: arethaeats). The beef udon & matcha latte were not as bad; however, clearly lacked flavour. It tasted very watered down.

I emailed the restaurant first to ask about it & didn't receive a response, so unfortunately I'm leaving this review instead.

The mushroom udon had fewer mushrooms in it than the chicken teriyaki bowl. Ordered 2 plates of gyozas both were barely warm, we asked for them to be re-heated, I had to to & check if they had reheated them & collect them, they were still barely warm, this was unfortunate as they were nice, just cold. The pistachio latte was nice, the chicken teriyaki was decent too. The basque cheesecake was average, the nicest part was the pistachio cream on top. The service was ok but they seemed a bit rushed. The food was nice but the service & food being cold & the mushroom dish having very little mushroom was disappointing for the price.

The ube latte does not taste like ube at all. I think the taste of the coffee overpowered the very week ube syrup.
Also, it does not look like the picture at all. There was no purple.
Otherwise, the coffee part is good.
The unagi onigiri was perfect. There's a 10% discount for students.

they have lots of seating available so you're always sure to have a spot! the food tastes great & there's a diverse selection of drinks on the menu that ranges from teas to lattes. my personal go-to is the passion fruit black tea, which is amazing during summer.

i've encountered a couple minor problems like staff not calling out my order when it was finished so i had to wait 20mins for a drink before i had to ask them myself, but nothing too dramatic.

mcgill students also get discounts :)
