Quality is not what it used to be. Very expensive, the bar added items to my bills without us ordering it. The seats are broken down & the place had a bad smell. I used to love the place.

While the drinks & vibes of the restaurant & really cool. The service here was not good. Our servers were very slow & rude. We were a larger group & it felt like they didn't want us there.

we were super intrigued by the asian flair of the drink menu at gokudo & were excited to visit. we arrived around 7 pm on a friday & waited a short time for a seat. we were eventually seated in the front room, which was comfortable & relaxing. we tried the okame & yamakase (which may not be on the menu anymore). both drinks were yummy & had a great mix of flavors. the food menu also looked intriguing but since we had dinner just before, we didn't get a chance to try anything. prices are super reasonable compared to the bars in nyc. overall a fun place to visit!

Very nice spot for dates & more of a chill vibes. Jordan at the bar was amazing, knew his drinks & alcohol. He was able to make us discover new alcohol & remixed a drink according to our taste buds. Would recommend to sit at the bar & be served by him.

This bar is fantastic! I always have a great time here. The staff is not only friendly but also efficient & accommodating. The drinks are top-notch, & we even sampled the wagyu bite. While it was small, it was absolutely delicious-a great touch to offer such a luxurious option. The ambiance is both stylish & fun, creating the perfect setting for a night out. Definitely one of my fav spots in Montreal!
