Fondé à Montréal et la toute première sous-marque de Fuwa Fuwa, Café Noya offre une nouvelle approche sur la cuisine japonaise dans une place unique de café et bar. Il sert des plats réconfortants faits maison.
Les avis sur Café Noya présentent l'endroit comme un café udon chaleureux et pratique pour étudier, idéalement situé au centre-ville et apprécié pour son ambiance cosy et sa carte variée: udon à la crème miso et champignon, beef udon, curry udon, onigiri variés (saumon, boeuf, unagi), gyoza et autres mets japonais, avec des desserts comme tiramisu matcha et crème brûlée au ube qui font l'unanimité; les boissons, notamment le matcha et les mochis, reçoivent aussi de bons retours; les portions sont souvent décrites comme modestes par rapport au prix, ce qui peut être décevant pour certains, et le service peut varier entre rapide et parfois peu attentif, mais le personnel est généralement chaleureux et accueillant; malgré cela, la qualité des saveurs et l'authenticité du matcha impressionnent, et l'endroit est régulièrement recommandé comme option pratique pour déjeuner ou étudier près des universités, avec une ambiance à la fois moderne et conviviale.
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.
high traffic for students ! but to me that just means its probably cheap & good 😂 solid bowl of udon, nothing crazy, & nice selection of drinks. Quite small so can get full quite fast depending on when you go.
Wasn't planning to eat here today, but walked by while going to were I was supposed to eat & we had to stop here instead! The place looks super cozy & nice, the onigiris were really good, specially the unagi one, had to order it again. Special mention to the crab croissant, great stuff too. I only wished to have some soy sauce on the side, I didn't asked if they had any, so might as well. Clean bathroom & good music. Felt very welcomed! Will definitely eat here again.
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.
I was quite disappointed by this place because my expectations were high. I initially wanted to rate this place 2/5 but my partner liked his dish so I give 1 more star.
I ordered a matcha tiramisu. They had a very nice dessert shelf so I was excited for it. Turns out it was just cream cheese on top of the matcha, nothing close to the tiramisu flavor. The matcha in itself was good, but nothing exceptional.
For the udon, I took the miso & mushrooms one. As one of the other comment was mentioning, the miso flavor was lacking & it was more creamy udons. I took an extra tempura shrimp (+3$), & I had to look for the shrimp in all of the fried paste. Absolutely not worth the extra. Noodles were good.
My partner really liked his beef udon on the other side.
Generous portions, but I think it is more of a student café/snack bar rather than a restaurant. Prices were very correct, especially for the onigiris.
Nice & refreshing menu. The food was delicious, but not something I would come back for. Our'don' bowl had 70-80% rice & significantly smaller portions than the other places I have tried. The drinks were standard, have had better matcha. Also, if you expect tip for counter service, at least put up a happy face or place the food on the table in a'gentler' way

Waited about 30 minutes to receive my order even though there were only three customers in the restaurant. The taste was okay, but the long wait time was disappointing.
J'ai bien aimé presque tout ce que j'ai essayé! À part le riz au boeuf, très fade, sans sauce & sans légumes. & le onigiri au boeuf aussi… le croissant au porc est excellent ainsi que la crème brûlée au ube! J'adore leurs mochis aussi! Seul bémol, tout est extrêmement cher & les portions ne justifient pas leurs prix. C'est dommage car s'il faisaient juste être un peu plus généreux ou s'ils enlevaient 2$ à chaque plat ou du moins à certains plats, ça ferait toute la différence! Overall je ne suis pas déçue, j'y vais souvent, mais certaines choses méritent d'être améliorées.
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)
The food portion is relatively small for the price, especially the udon was pretty small. The drinks are more reasonable, I would recommend the drinks more than the food. The rice had a lot of rice on the bottom but little topping.
On the plus side, there was plenty of seating available on a Saturday afternoon, & the staff were friendly & welcoming.
Delicious, hearty beef udon soup & kind, genuine service!
Diner vibe was nice but could be a cozier.
I wish more meat was given for the price, especially the gy?don, I felt it was skimpy.
food safety feedback: My purchase today developed patches of white, cotton-like mold while stored properly & within the stated shelf life. I've attached photos for reference.
This is concerning, & I hope management can address the product's freshness or storage procedures.
Ordered the mushroom udon & strawberry green lychee tea. Wasn't a huge fan of both, the udon lacked that rich mushroom flavour & the tea + syrup weren't that potent/fresh
