Came here with my wife a few days ago. We ordered a curry & a non-curry rice dish. Both our meals were severely underseasoned. Unfortunately very lacking in flavour.
Service was adequate, atmosphere was cozy, prices were very reasonable.
A very cozy place with great food &… affordable price! There are many choices & the menu is very easy to understand with pictures.
We tried popcorn chicken, marinaded porc strip, lemon chicken & black tea panna cotta. They were all so delicious & we'll surely come back to try other dishes!
One of my favorite restaurant in Montreal & beyond. The food is just so good, the presentation & the service too.
The price are so affordable for this quality that I am scared it will raise in the future.
Sûrement le meilleur rapport qualité prix de Montréal
Last Saturday, I went to this place with my friend because we we're craving for some Japanese food. I really like the fact that they have a lots of varieties on the menu. Unfortunately on that day, I feel like service was not the best if you read all the reviews from this restaurant. Even if it was not busy , the waiter took his time to come & take our order. He never come & ask us if everything was okay & he didn't refill my friend water... Although it was not the best service, the price is reasonable & the food & dessert was delicious.
Idk if I would give another chance for this place.
Although the place looked very cozy & pleasant to dine in, the overall experience was mid for me.
I came here to eat on a Saturday night. The place was very quiet & only had two customers when I arrived with my friend. The atmosphere was really relaxed, the decorations nicely put together, & the ambiance very warm & cozy.
The menu was also excellent, & I liked that they were able to offer customers a wide variety of selections, ranging from appetizers to cold & hot dishes, from rice to noodles, to desserts & drinks. The prices were also reasonable & fairly priced in this economy. We especially liked our desserts, which were the panna cotta flan & the hojicha tiramisu, not too sweet & a perfect balance for people who have a sweet tooth.
However, I'd like to say that the service was quite disappointing & really slow for a Saturday night. The server never came once to our table to ask how we were feeling, if the food was delicious, or even to fill up our cups. He even mixed up our bill for our meal when it was time to pay. I disliked the fact that he took way too much time to notice (eight minutes) that we were finished & wanted to pay to leave. Also, minus one point for the bathroom because it stank a little bit, though it was clean (might consider purchasing an air freshener).
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!!
