I had a wonderful experience at Gyoka Izakaya Sushi Bar in Saint-Lambert. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, & full of flavour. The sushi rolls were outstanding, & the hot dishes were just as impressive.
The atmosphere is warm & welcoming, perfect for a casual dinner or a special night out. The service was also excellent-attentive, friendly, & quick. You can really feel the pride they take in their work.
This place deserves every big of the 5 stars that I have allocated on this night. I was treated like a shogun, I ate like a shogun & flet like a shogun. Arigato Gozaimas!
