The onigiri & matcha were fantastic! The curry tastes great, but the portion is on the smaller side for North American standards. Unfortunately, the lady taking our order didn't seem in the best of moods, which is understandable because we all have our days, but we truly felt like we were bothering her just by being here. I liked the food so much I wanted to order some again to take back home, but I felt almost reluctant to go to the counter. I wish that hadn't been the case : (

Food looks good, but tastes bland. My friend & I each ordered cold noodles , gyozas & drinks + dessert. I personally got sesame cold noodles & vanilla matcha.

I rarely leave reviews, but I feel the need to be completely transparent here.

As for noodles, the taste was extremely bland. The texture of crispy flakes very quickly became soggy & off putting in the noodles but that might be a personal preference. The most flavourful part of the dish were shiitake mushrooms, which speaks for itself. Portion is underwhelming, just like the taste.

As for the matcha, it was very sweet & i could taste more syrup than matcha. Also, the vanilla syrup they use tasted very artificial to me which affected my rating.

Overall, the food mostly just *looked* good but didn't taste it. Service was alright, nothing much to say. Wouldn't return, wouldn't recommend 🤷?♀?

I was in a group of 4 & my two first friends ordered while my other friend & I had to wait in between to order for over 10 minutes standing there, not sure why, even though we had mentioned we'd be 1 group. The food was ok, nothing to ride home about.

The onigiris are delicious & at a reasonable price. I tried the matcha yuzu drink & it was very tasty, a little tangy & refreshing.

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.
