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.
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.
I wanted to be the biggest hater when I saw the portion size, but then I took my first bite & omg....BEST UDON I'VE EVER HAD!!!! I ordered the Miso Cream Udon. I still wish the portion was bigger, I could've easily eaten another bowl. The sparkling orange yuzu is also really good.

I had the miso cream with added beef. It was delicious & so flavorful. I ate on the terrace since the weather was so nice, which made the experience even better~
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.
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.
We decided to visit what is proudly advertised as Montreal's first Udon café-a title that immediately raises expectations &, unfortunately, also the stakes. The space itself is undeniably cute, the menu sounded promising, & the inclusion of onigiri excited us too.
We started with the miso mushroom cream udon, a dish whose name suggests depth, umami, & earthy warmth. What arrived, however, was more of a dairy-forward soliloquy. The miso was nowhere to be found, the mushrooms had apparently taken the day off, & the broth tasted exclusively like cream. To be fair, the mushrooms themselves-when encountered-were quite good, which somehow made their overall absence more tragic.
The beef udon fared better. The beef was well-cooked & nicely seasoned. The broth, however, pulled a classic bait-&-switch: it smelled rich & inviting, only to taste far more subdued than expected. Aromatically impressive, flavor-wise a bit shy.
The unagi onigiri was decent by Montreal standards, & honestly one of the safer bets on the table. If you go, I'd gently nudge you in that direction.
We noticed an impressive lineup of desserts, though we didn't partake. The café was busy, which is always a good sign, but unfortunately not a great justification for service that felt a little rushed & impatient-less'welcome in' & more'what'll it be.'
Overall, it isn't a culinary catastrophe, but it's also not a destination. If you're downtown, cold, & craving something warm, it's perfectly serviceable. Just don't go out of your way for it.
Nous avons commandé des onigiri, udon à la crème miso & les gyudon au boeuf, c'était EXCELLENT !
Notre seul regret c'est d'avoir eu encore faim après notre repas, en effet les portions étaient relativement petites pour des plats principaux, d'où la note de 4.
I had the miso/mushroom Udon & the salmon Onigiri. I was disappointed of the Udon dish since it was literally udon in alfredo sauce. It was good but really not what I was expecting. The salmon onigiri was ok🤷?♀?
Udon creamy miso is pretty plain but good when you add meat. Unagi onigiri needed more unagi. Omurice was alright. Chashu fried rice wasn't bad. Basque cheesecake was delicious, better than the cafe nearby that specializes. Hojicha cookie was good.
