Review Summary

Ichigo Ichie Izakaya is widely recognized as a premier destination in Montreal for Japanese cuisine, drawing crowds for its vibrant atmosphere and authentic decor that transports diners to Japan. Many guests praise the exceptional quality of the menu, highlighting standout dishes such as the Gindara black cod, various ramen bowls, and creative cocktails. While the restaurant is frequently described as a lively, must-visit gem, experiences with service and seating can vary; some diners report attentive, well-paced interactions, while others note challenges with long wait times, crowded seating, and inconsistent service delivery. Reservations are highly recommended due to the restaurant's popularity, though guests should be aware that the izakaya and ramen sections often operate under different ordering policies.

'Soon' is not 20 minutes after my friend who was second last on the food delivery service line! AT MINIMUM you mention that it'll take 10-15 minutes, but no, i get'soon.' By the time I got my dish, everyone was way past done. How my friend from Longeuil got home faster than my food got to me is unbelievable.

Bonne nourriture, bon service, bruyant & dispendieux pour des tappas. Mais je recommande à essayer.

Spontenous Sunday night dinner where we only had to wait 15 minutes for a table! We tried various hot, cold & fried dishes & finished off with our own customized ramen. The black cod was like melted butter & SO tasty! The miso yuzu mushroom were our second favourite. The one thing to note is that our ramen got cold super fast because AC was blasting so we didn't get the most tasty experience. But we definitely will come back in winter to give ramen another go😁

Première visite chez Ichigo & certainement pas la dernière! Un énorme merci à notre serveur, Max, qui a rendu notre soirée encore plus agréable. Il a pris le temps de nous expliquer le menu en détail, de nous décrire les plats & de répondre à toutes nos questions, ce qui nous a vraiment aidés à faire nos choix.

On a ri du début à la fin de la soirée grâce à son excellent service & à sa bonne humeur. Les plats sont arrivés bien chauds, tout était délicieux & le service était impeccable.

L'ambiance est animée, mais on est quand même capables de bien se parler sans devoir crier. Les cocktails sont excellents! Une superbe première expérience, & on a déjà hâte d'y retourner.

Premièrement bravo au personnel & particulièrement à mon serveur au bar qui a été d'excellents conseils dans mes choix, gentil, proactif & encourageant avec ses collègues.
J'ai pris le drink à la mangue !! D'une fraîcheur ! Y retourner je crois que je reprendrais le même !
J'ai pris les ramens avec le bouillon de porc, les nouilles fines, l'option végé avec un supplément de porc. Merci à mon serveur pour ce conseil ! Mon bol était plein de légumes & juste ce qu'il faut de viande ! Tout était savoureux ! Je ne savais pas que je pouvais aimer autant le tofu ! Parce qu'en temps normal je ne suis pas fan mais je suis ABSOLUMENT fan du leur 😅! & je sais que j'aime les oeufs mais ceux des ramens sont vraiment délicieux ! Crémeux juste ce qu'il faut ! Prenez sois un oeuf entier ou même un extra oeuf ! Ça vaut la peine !
J'ai pris en desserts les petits beignes & c'était aussi une réussite avec le trempage aux bleuets & celui au citron !
Je suis arrivée à 20 minutes avant l'ouverture & une petite fille débutait déjà donc prévoyez les heures de vos visites ! Je le met au pluriel pcq quand vous serez venu une fois vous aller vouloir y retourner haha

I was an avid supporter of Ichigo when I stayed in Montreal during 2019-2022. Unfortunately the service has been a downfall for customers now that I returned to visit. The food took forever to be served. We got two different menus showing different pricing. When we asked the server, he just told us'oh we recently increased the price'.
I suppose no one likes more expensive food, but it's worse that they didn't care enough to serve the updated menu.
Taco wasa is using more radish to replace octopus. Wagyu has significantly less portion. Chicken karrage & tempura were still delicious to be fair.
