Awesome place!! I had the tomato curry & it tasted different than other curries I've had, in the best way!! The flavor is deeper & super balanced with the pork & veggies. I was so hungry, I also got their sandwich & altought it is simple, it really surprises you with the amount of flavor packed in it. Finally, the cocktails are fairly priced. As far as the service & atmosphere, those are great as well :) The decor especially is really cozy!!

We live nearby & had been wanting to give this place a try for a few months. We didn't expect much, but we were pleasantly surprised! The gyozas, the lemon chicken, & the breaded pork were full of flavor - & the breaded pork was super crunchy! The portion sizes were just right. The decor adds a lot of personality to the place.
The prices are fair & definitely worth it. We'll definitely come back!

I was craving a good tonkatsu after my japan trip. This place delivered a pretty good product for Montréal's standards. They have good rice, the pork is not overcooked & it has an okay crisp, & the price is good. It is far behind the Japanese standards however. The veggies are a bit too basic & random, the breading is not fluffy, tasty, & crispy enough & most importantly the sauces are very basic & were a big disappointment to me. That being said, I'm really demanding. Taking the low price into account & the Montréal standards, it is pretty good.
