Incredibly small but very welcoming & friendly place.

Delicious Japanese food focused on bowl dishes. I highly recommend the curry tonkatsu for crispy meat & hearty sauce.

Tucked away in a corner but still very busy.

Cozy little restaurant with few tables, so avoiding peak hours is recommended. The food was delicious! Everything we tried tasted great. I had tonkatsu, the savory pancake, & popcorn chicken (served fresh, so beware! It's hot). All four of us agreed that we enjoyed our food. Highly recommend.

One of the rarest restaurants that has maintained a very reasonable price, great food quality & satisfying portion size. Enjoyed our time getting to know Jill (sorry if spelled the name wrong) which made us laugh & treated us to a dessert. Highly recommended for any occasion, either single or with a group of friends. Definitely one of my favourite places in Montreal ❤?

Thank you!

Amazing food, great prices. I highly recommend this place. The only reason why I gave 4/5 in atmosphere is that everytime someone opens the door, it gets cold inside.
