5 stars all around. Flavours are superiors, sake selection is remarkable, & cocktail are very creative & delicious. Definately a favourite. & once you're vibing high on food, there's also the Sans Soleil downstairs to stretch the pleasure.
We loved the ambiance & decor. The dishes were beautifully presented. A couple of the ingredients in the main dishes sorta "clashed" but overall we loved the vibe so much we'd definitely recommend & go back!
Great variety of sake, refined Japanese cuisine, & absolutely delicious! The open kitchen at the bar counter is a fun touch. One of the best restaurants around!
I've been here twice & every time, it never fails. The fried chicken & tataki are guaranteed crowd favourites. The service is generally pretty great too. It's a tight spot so you're close to the other tables. & as a tall person, when we were in a booth another time, it was very tight (not for tall people aha). The brownie was interesting & I would not order again.
Fun pace for natural wine & Japanese food. I am from Japan, it is not a place for traditional food but quality was really good & pairing with natural wine was fun. Friendly service too
Nous avons commandé 2 cocktails très bon ! & 4-5 plats délicieux sauf le canard , malheureusement, qui je crois avait été oublié & est donc arrivé froid & sec, mais le serveur s'est excusé & a trouvé un moyen de nous faire oublié ce petit incident ! Je recommande fortement ce restaurant, la nourriture est bonne, l'ambiance aussi & surtout le service qui pour ma part a été impeccable !
Incredible Udon dish. Service was great, English speakers Atmosphere is so amazing. The place looks a bit unassuming from the outside but once you go in you feel transported.
Came here for a date night while we were in Montreal. My partner chose it based on the high google reviews. I liked that the interior was so unique, & we were seated very quickly. Our server came to take our drink & food order in a decent amount of time, & our first two dishes (legume ohitashi & onsen tamago) came out very fast. & then we sat there for a good 30 minutes with no food in front of us & our server not checking in. I started to get confused & annoyed when the table beside us received their uni cream & shrimp chips 5 minutes after they had ordered, while we were still waiting for ours. We had to flag our server down to ask what was happening, & my partner reminded her of the dishes we had ordered. She scrambled to find her words for a bit & then explained that because we had ordered the sashimi platter with the temaki add on, our other dishes would be served after the platter as was their "policy" (this is blatantly untrue as the table beside us had ordered the sashimi platter with the temaki add on as well & their dishes came in the order they placed them). I wouldn't have minded if she had told us she forgot some of the dishes we had ordered instead of lying. I would've given the atmosphere a higher score, but there was a group of drunk people who came in & sat behind us who did not control their volume (yelling extremely loudly at each other) & weren't asked to, despite it interrupting other's conversations & detracting from the experiences of the tables around them. The food was tasty & we had a few stand out dishes (the uni cream shrimp chips & the aged white miso duck were excellent), & the pricing was fair. Overall the experience could've been better, but this is a decent place to get Japanese food in Montreal.
Great service but it didn't make up for our disappointment with the food. We ordered the tasting menu & got a tomato & greens salad which was ok, nothing special. The duck was over cooked & not salty at all. But to make up for the unseasoned duck, the next dish was the cold soba noodles in the saltiest sauce. There wasn't much else in that dish you could enjoy anyways, the soba texture was off & the toppings didn't add anything in terms of flavor or texture. Finally we got the sashimi, which was ok. I've had fresher & better texture sashimi elsewhere. The rice at the bottom of the sashimi bowl was way over seasoned with vinegar & it was also overcooked. It felt like a gimmick to me. You are seated at the bar where you can see the chefs preparing the dishes meticulously & using garnish tweezers which looks fancy but unfortunately, good presentation can't make something taste better. Hope you will improve your menu & adjust the seasoning level on the dishes.
Great dining experience. We were craving fresh fish & got the sashimi platter with rice & nori to roll yourself. The fish was incredible! We also got soft tofu with red miso & wasabi. INCREDIBLE! Could have used with more rice & more nori in proportion with the amount of fish on the platter but i guess it depends on preferences & how hungry you are.
The atmosphere is a bit 🥱. The servers are great (top notch, these folks work hard) . Music is generically 🤮 ( throw some bebop in there biiiatch!! ). The crowd is way too''I don't know what I'm doing here'' but I guess people like that pay the bills. The food could be a bit more climate change (Hahaha) & lacking zest. I will be back. ❤️.
The chirashi bowl was just exceptional!! Love the red wine vinegar touch for the sushi rice & the tartare place just underneath the fresh sashimi cuts!
