We had such a great experience at Ichigo on Friday night! The service, the drinks & the food were all fantastic. Every dish was incredible, but our particular favourites were the Yakisoba noodles & the Yuzu tuna. Definitely recommend for a great Izakaya spot in Montreal.View more

I loved the black cod & the drinks were superb. Every single dish we had tasted soo good I forgot to take pictures ! Even though the tables are really close together & it can get noisy, the service was delightful & the staff was really attentive.
I absolutely recommend, just make sure to make a reservation !View more

Amazing food, lovely drinks. We tried the:
Teriarki chicken ramen: rich, beautifully flavoured, the best ramen I've had in mtl.
Ebi mayo: delicious for shrimp tempura lovers
O'aki bomb shot: a delightful fun drink that left us in high spiritsView more

I have been here four times. It was awesome four times. Everything is so clean & organized (& you can see it all because the kitchen is open & the bar is in the dining room). The service is always great. You almost always have to wait a little because they're so popular (I only just figured out they do take reservations!) but its fully worth it & its never long. The food comes out fast & it's excellent. The drinks too. Beautiful presentation & delicious. Not going to lie I kind of envy the staff getting to eat their staff meals here. I recommend this place to anyone who will listen.View more

Fantastic food & drink. You would think it's not a child friendly but the staff tried their best on accommodating my 18mo old by finding her the best spot to sit (crawl up & down)View more

Had the Tonkotsu ramen, fried eggplant, agedashi tofu & mochi donuts. Great service & drinks. Everything was incredible. I left full & happy.View more

Amazing quality of food. We were impressed by all of the dishes, appetizers to dessert ! Note, reserve if you are able to, it makes it so much easier. Drinks were out of this word also, special mention to the Nashi & Akuma 🫶View more

The atmosphere is pretty nice, but don't come here for the food. The menu comes in small, overpriced portions. For reference, 5 pieces of karaage will run you 18$. The food itself was nothing impressive either - the BBQ squid was too rubbery to chew through & the shrimp tempura was heavily underseasoned. Not a bad place to grab a drink, but I wouldn't get food here againView more

So so so good. The only catch is the irl line/waiting list. If you want ramen & drinks & bigger menu on the left side where it's bopping you can't call to have a reservation. But if you plan it well you can get on the list irl & have drinks not too far while you wait. Waiting time can be from 30 mins to 1:30..View more

I've been to this restaurant 3 times & it's been an exceptional experience every time. The food is fantastic & I must admit to mostly coming back for the shiso sours (my new favourite cocktail). What really stands out to me is the service, though. 2 of the 3 times I've been there, our server Kathy made the experience so much better! Between remembering my drink order from the first time I came, to recommending the best vegetarian options, to doting on our table in a timely, efficient manner, I'll keep coming back just to sit in her section!!View more

Waitress lacked experience, waited for service for 20 min before getting a drink.
Small portions but good food.
We asked to change tables to a more comfortable table (several empty tables)
Waitress made us feel bad about asking for that by saying "she would only let us change tables if we insisted"
I understand that it's not ideal for the staff when it's really busy but the tables were free & nobody arrived after us.
Also there's a weird rule about not ordering Ramen only if you reserve. But if you don't plan ahead, you can be rewarded with ramen!
Overall good food though
via LibroLa nourriture était excellente! Les drinks étaient vraiment, vraiment wow! Seul bémol, pas de chaise, donc, on ne peut s'adosser. Je ne suis peut-être pas la clientèle cible car moi, un samedi, j'aime bien prendre mon temps & être confortable. Comme je n'étais pas si confortable, j'ai soupé un peu en vitesse ;) Est-ce que j'y retournerai, ASSURÉMENT!

Insanely good food & drinks. Best Takoyaki I've had in the city.View more

I was told I had to try the ramen here as after several ramen meals, I was not in love with it. Although it was better than most places here, I think ramen is just not my favorite meal. I also did not like the fact that they need a quick turn of the clientele, so after eating our meals, we were pushed to order more or leave the space by several staff as there is always a line, which is understandable, just do not go here for a casual get together, it is more of an eat & go place. The other food items & the drinks are also great (maybe better) but do yourself a favor & go at off times as the wait is not really worth it during busy hours.View more

If you love ramen here is the place . I've had the best ramen of my whole life here. They have a special ramen menu in which you can make your own ramen with the broth & protein & vegetables you like , I love this kind of flexibility . Also, they have nice side dishes & a tapas menue . The chicken Karagge is a must to try ! Also, drinks are so cool. You should try their shots 🤩. Staff are very nice & friendly.View more
via LibroWe sat upstairs & it took over 30 minutes before we got out drinks. It was suuuper hot & then it took another 30 minutes (so 1 hour total) before someone took out food order. The food was really good though!
via LibroExcellente nourriture, place très cool !! 😊 à faire découvrir!! Bon service de la serveuse . Drinks, excellents!
via LibroService was slow which is odd usually service is great. We ordered 6 shots, which took 20min to come out. They arrived after we finished our drinks & first course......

Waitresses are nice but the service was quite slow, it took over half an hour just to get drinks. Music too loud, you only have 2 hours so you feel rushed, & everyone around us was eating ramen but because we reserved we weren't allowed, it's a weird system.
Generally, the food is just too expensive for what it is. 16$ for 4 little pieces of fried chicken, cmon. Portions are small.
via LibroFood choice was bad, fried & raw food was good, drinks were good.

Nous avons eu la chance d'essayer plusieurs plats, certains étaient meilleurs que d'autres. Le tartare de saumon & le tataki de thon était délicieux. Le calmar grillé était malheureusement trop cuit & le bout de pâtes étaient calcinés. Les crevettes tempura & le poulet karage étaient bien mais pas wow. Sinon leur dessert de tiramisu au sesame noir & leurs drinks étaient très bon. Dans l'ensemble c'était tout de même
une belle expérience, mais nous avons quité l'endroit avec l'impression de ne pas avoir mangé beaucoup, les portions sont plutôt petites &/ou composées d'ingrédient très léger (chips de feuille de riz, vermicelle soufflé, etc) mais connaissant la culture japonaise, c'est dans leurs normes.

Don't book if you want to eat ramen (you can't !). The food from the izakaya was really disappointing, especially for the price. So i really see no point of ever booking, since only their ramen are worth it. The drinks were good & the service was friendly & quick.
I'm very surprised, since I remember liking the place in the past.
via LibroDespite being in the midst of a renovation of a section, the quality & presentation & service remain at the highest level. One of Montreal's best places to eat & drink.
via LibroSO GOOD!!!!!! My partner & I went to celebrate our anniversary except we barely spoke or made eye contact because we were too busy slowly eating/drinking with our eyes closed to better savor the experience. I honestly have never enjoyed food & drinks more in my life
