Fuwa Fuwa is described as a standout for ultra-light Japanese and soufflé pancakes, croffles, and decadent desserts, with many praising the airy textures, delicate flavors like tiramisu and pistachio, and the visually appealing presentations; the robot server adds a playful element that some find charming while others view as a gimmick. The menu items frequently highlighted include the tiramisu and matcha pancakes and the Basque cheesecake, though some experiences note eggy or undercooked pancakes, uneven fillings, or portions that feel small for the price. Wait times are a dominant theme, as made to order pancakes can take longer than expected, and in busy times service can feel slow or disorganized. Cleanliness and atmosphere receive mixed reviews, with some calling the space cozy and Instagram friendly and others reporting dirty tables or bathrooms and cramped layouts that hamper comfort. Service quality varies, with many staff described as friendly and attentive, while others encounter monotone or inattentive service or language barriers. Overall Fuwa Fuwa seems to be a popular dessert destination worth trying for pancake lovers who have time to spare and are open to premium pricing, but it may not satisfy those seeking quick service, consistent value, or a calmer dining experience.
A lot of these places that make Japanese pancakes usually make them taste so egg-y; not this one. Fuwa Fuwa's pancakes taste fresh, light, & fluffier than the other ones I've tried.
We ordered the tiramisu pancakes & they were heavenly. We also tried the burnt cheesecake which was so-so. But overall it was a great place to have dessert & hang after a long day of walking in Montreal. The souffle pancakes were so good, we went there twice in 2 days before we left Montreal!
The place is cute & the tiramisu pancakes where really delicious. I would say it was on the expensive side. 20$ for a small dessert is a bit excessive. The pancake itself is special, Japanese style & extremely light & fluffy. The dessert was not too sweet which I liked. On the other hand the bathroom was disgusting. They really need to clean it. It seems like none of the staff want to do that.
The pancakes were incredibly fluffy, sweet, & creamy-just as you'd hope from a Japanese-style dessert. Service was quick & efficient, but the price felt a bit steep at around $20 for a single serving
Fuwa Fuwa Montréal is realy good! 👍
The japanese pancakes are fluffy & delicious! The service was impeccable, & Atika was so sweet! She realy made the experience fun & inviting. 🫶💖🫶😋👍
The Japanese Pancakes at Fuwa Fuwa are out of this world. Soft, Fluffy, freshly made & extremely flavorful.
We had Pistachio Pancake & Tiramisu Pancake. Both were excellent but personally, I like the pistachio one. It may take a while to be prepared but it's well worth the wait.
The best part is the pancakes are delivered to your table by a lovely robot.
If you're in Montreal, this is definitely a place to visit & these Japanese pancakes are a must have - Never miss.

Fuwa Fuwa's Japanese fluffy pancakes are absolutely delicious-soft, airy, & full of flavor. We really enjoyed the matcha tiramisu, & the Biscoff pancakes are probably my favorite so far. The smoked salmon croffle was also a great savory option-perfect for breakfast or lunch. The drinks were great, & the staff is super friendly. There's plenty of seating, & the interior is cute & cozy. The atmosphere is relaxing, & the music adds a nice touch. Highly recommend for a sweet (or savory) treat!
We stopped by Fuwa Fuwa & it was love at first bite! We tried the tiramisu Japanese pancake, & it was absolutely divine-light, fluffy, & full of rich, creamy flavor. Every bite just melted in our mouths. The juices were just as amazing-fresh, vibrant, & the perfect complement to the pancakes. The presentation was beautiful, & the atmosphere was bright & welcoming. It's the kind of place that makes you smile from the first sip to the last bite. Can't wait to go back & try more!
I visited Fuwa Fuwa recently, & while the food was genuinely delicious - especially the Japanese pancakes - a few things really took away from the overall experience.
I ordered an oolong tea, but the cup I received was dirty. I had to ask for it to be replaced, which the staff did, but it left a bit of a bad impression. On top of that, the cleanliness of the restaurant wasn't great. The bathroom area, in particular, really needs attention - it was quite unpleasant.
The open kitchen concept is cool because you get to see how the pancakes are made, but the noise from the machines was overwhelming. I had brought a book to do some reading, thinking it would be more of a relaxed café environment, but it was far too loud to concentrate.
Overall, the food was great, but the cleanliness & ambiance need improvement for a better customer experience.

These pancakes are nothing special Japanese. They are just slightly soft pancakes that can be found anywhere. If this were in Japan, it would be $5. The location is very convenient & the store is clean. Lines were gone in less than a month after opening. However, even if there is no one in front of you, you will have to wait 15-20 minutes for take-out. The main problem is that the prices are surprisingly high for this quality. The staff is friendly, but most importantly, I can't see the value in repeating this content. The reviews & ratings speak for themselves.
I have been waiting a long time to try these famous Japanese pancakes 🥞, Literally !!!! Got to the restaurant around 13:45, was told to return in 2hrs , they would not take the order then. Returned at 15:45, got my order around 17:00. Got one order of signature pancakes, one order of matcha, one slice of raspberry cheesecake 6.99$ a piece or whole cake 24.99$. The cheesecake, was delicious, very small piece, a size of my palm, I have a small hand. Pancakes were very "eggy", if could say so. Like you are eating eggs & not pancakes. It is to expect since the mixture is mostly made of eggs & a bit of flour. They were fluffy too. Beautiful presentation. The place is extremely busy. The staff is courteous even though some people were very impatient!! However, only 2 grills are available to cook these pancakes, enough staff but no one looked in a hurry to serve the customers. Staff was a bit disorganized except one girl who was rolling this place. I think they could do better if everyone knows what their task is. All in all I gave 4 stars for their effort, curtesy & good food. But these pancakes are not my cup of tea. Bathrooms are in need of attention too, missing soap & paper towels.
