definitely gets busy right around 12 in the afternoon as a bunch of students come to get lunch or matcha drinks. so we did have to wait a while to order as they also don't have much staff during that time. the onigiri have a nice texture with the seaweed. I personally loved the miso & mushroom udon, it tasted like a creamy mac & cream.

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.

I can't say any of the dishes were interesting. We had high hopes for the miso mushroom udon which was recommended but it really did not taste like much other than cream, it was also a very small portion for its price.
Spicy chicken don was okay but I wasn't expecting kimchi in a Japanese dish, I would have gotten something else.
Lastly, we had dango & matcha ice cream which were okay.

The chicken katsu onigiri is a nice addition to the menu, the meat is so good I need more!! The homemade matcha cookie was lovely too. It had the right level of sweetness.

However, service was extremely slow despite being one of the few customers waiting for their order. Also, the strawberry/litchi tea was terrible 🥀

Always yummy & affordable, I wish the onigiri had a little more filling in it though ! The matcha is not very strong, kinda just tastes like milk but I liked the hot hochija. I always come when am around downtown !

Café Noya on Peel is quickly becoming one of my favorite spots! The mango matcha & strawberry drinks are the best so far. Super refreshing & perfectly balanced.

The crème brûlée & the matcha & pistachio cheesecake are absolutely out of this world. You can really taste the quality in everything they make.

On top of that, the staff are incredibly friendly & welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. Definitely worth checking out!

Un café très sympa avec énormément de pâtisserie, dont des pâtisseries au matcha comme cookies, brownie, mais aussi tiramisu, tout est fait maison & excellent. Pour les boissons, il y a énormément de sortes différentes, le matcha est très bon, je n'étais pas très fan du matcha à la mangue, mais c'est un goût très personnel. Il n'y a pas beaucoup de place dans le café.

The new mango matcha recipe is barely sweet & more like a puree than a syrup/jammy flavour. As a matcha fan who's been a loyal customer for months, I found this drink to be barely drinkable which is the first time I can say this about a matcha from here. Please bring back the old version!!!!

Really nice matcha cafe close to McGill campus. Will be back to try their dishes. Only thing I wish is for more tables to sit, it's a bit cramped in there.
