Chillax is described across reviews as a cozy, casual Japanese spot with a calm, welcoming vibe where comforting dishes like ramen, donburi, gyoza, and karaage hit the mark, with many noting salmon teriyaki donburi, udon, and fried squid or takoyaki as standouts; the space is simple and authentic, and the decor with anime posters adds a nostalgic energy that many find charming. The service is praised for friendliness and attentiveness, though in one case a long wait occurred when only one staff member was on duty. It is often called a hidden gem and a reliable go to for casual meals, with guests enjoying a homey atmosphere and a good selection of sake, while some concerns include sauces that feel a bit oily, portions that can seem small for the price, and one review mentioning an egg that did not meet expectations. Overall Chillax comes across as a consistently tasty, comfortable place that invites repeat visits.
J'ai visité ce restaurant sans aucune attente pour un diner alors que j'étais dans le coin. Quelle découverte! J'ai pris une soupe avec du porc, suggérée par la serveuse (qui était super gentille & nous conseillait vraiment bien). Le porc était si tendre que je le coupais avec mes baguettes. La souper était tellement gouteuse. Des saveurs que je n'avais jamais expérimentées & tout cela dans un petit resto super sympathique. Les prix sont plus que raisonnables. Honnêtement, j'ai juste hâte de retourner dans le coin pour y manger à nouveau & essayer d'autres plats sur leur menu. Une superbe découverte. Dommage que j'habite aussi loin! ;)
Had an amazing experience for my mother's birthday at Restaurant Chillax! We found this lovely little place close to our hotel & it certainly did not disappoint. The portion sizes were perfect & it was some of the best Japanese food we've ever had. The service was also very friendly & efficient. Looking forward to coming back when we're back in town!
This place is amazing I don't understand why it was so empty when I went the place should be full ! the staff are lovely the food is so tasty super clean everything is perfect ( really recommend the mango cheese cake ) :)

Great place to visit for a small taste of Japan. If you want to experience something other than sushi, Chillax has a great menu of different dishes to try. Service is friendly & quick. The atmosphere is great, I recommend getting some stickers with your order.
This is my favourite restaurant in my neighbourhood. Consistency! It's always on point! Everytime I go there! Ok I was in Japan ONCE so I am not a Japanese food connoisseur BUT the Okonomiyaki & the Tokoyaki... Delicious, also the Karaage chicken & poke bowls (not in picture) & the cheese fried rice & Shrimp tempura Udon soup (In picture) Freshness & finest! The service is impeccable, the lady working there is so friendly I can't wait to go back. Thank you Chillax!
It's my favorite restaurant. Everytime I got there it is so peaceful & calm & the service is impeccable! I like to go there by myself & eat the spicy miso udon soup, it's my favorite meal on the menu
Stumbled upon this special place & it didn’t disappoint. Cozy & clean little restaurant with character. Authentic Japanese cuisine, all three of us thought it was yummy! Staff were friendly & the chef peeked out a few times to say hello. Had to come back the next day for green tea & dessert.
Wish we could teleport it to our little town in New Hampshire :)

The edamame & shrimp tempura were not good. They didn’t have at all the finesse of good Japanese cuisine, which is some of the best in the world. The best was the green tea cheese cake, as well as the ambiance of the place, which was really very pleasant & cozy. There was nice jazz in the background. Service was nice but very slow, the one server does what she can.
EXCELLENT! Je recommande absolument ce petit restaurant tout calme & propre. Le takoyaki est super bien fait, parmi les meilleurs que j'ai goûté. Le poke bol tempura est une tuerie 😍.
Really cute spot, very calm even tho you're super close to place des arts. Love the décor, simple & straight to the point menu. The grilled calamari was delicious. I just find the sauce with the main plate about too sweet, it kinda overpowers the fish taste. Otherwise, good service & lovely presentation of food.

Excellent restaurant, nous y sommes allé 2 fois pendant notre séjour & à chaque fois ça a été délicieux. Le cadre est vraiment beau également & c’est très calme. Vraiment au top 😁
