Craving for udon! I got a carbonara udon which is served with bacon, soft-boiled egg & cheese. It's not too creamy or heavy, just perfect to balance with salty bacon. I would need more udon to finish the sauce 🤤 This restaurant shares the area with Yokato Yokabai ramen. So 2 menus will be offered. Come early to have a seat or they also have a good system to book on a tablet & notify you once your table is ready.

De belles découvertes dans ce restaurant, les portions à partager sont en adéquation avec les prix
Le thon & les carbonara Udon, m'inciteraient à y retourne

Welcoming staff. The grilled squid was delicious but I wasn't a fan of the udon carbonara. The place felt a bit crowded, I was bumping elbows with the person sat behind me

Pretty good, enjoyed it & would go back. Heard about the udon carbonara, it was familiar, good but I wasn't wowed as much as I thought I'd be. Came back another time, much better, the black cod was INSANE. melt in your mouth goodness.

Great isakaya to go & share food with friends! The resto was packed! The waitress recommended top dishes to share & we ordered 8 for 4 people. Was perfect, not overly full! The buns were big with juicy meat, squid, carbonara udon, tuna tataki, salmon, beef slices...

Une vraie claque gustative chez Ichigo Ichie Izakaya ! Chaque plat était une explosion de saveurs, avec une mention spéciale pour le Shime Saba : moi qui d'habitude n'aime pas le maquereau, j'ai été totalement bluffée par la tendreté de la chair, le grillé de la peau & l'équilibre parfait apporté par l'acidité de la sauce. Un vrai moment umami !

Le Kamo Yaki (spécial hiver) était une tuerie absolue : une cuisson parfaite, des tranches rosées à souhait, accompagnées de chips de lotus croustillantes & savoureuses.

On a poursuivi avec le Yakiniku épicé, un contre-filet de boeuf à griller soi-même, recommandé 15 secondes de chaque côté : un pur bonheur à tremper dans le sel, les épices ou la sauce maison.

Les Udon Carbonara ? Crémeux, réconfortants, oeuf coulant au centre… j'ai fait un'yumm' à chaque bouchée, littéralement !

& pour couronner le tout : un Tiramisu Matcha aérien, intense en goût, tout en légèreté.

Le service a été irréprochable : la serveuse était adorable, attentionnée & de très bon conseil tout au long du repas. On reviendra avec grand plaisir pour découvrir la carte du printemps. Un sans faute du début à la fin !

I often pass by here & see a lot of people waiting for a table, so I guess it might be a good restaurant. The restaurant was noisy, seats were a bit crowded & there were a lot of people. We ordered 4 dishes, all of them looked beautiful, Yatai Ika & salmon tartare were good, but the others were not perfect, the Katsu Roru was too salty, & the udon was not what I wanted. After this meal, I always feel thirsty.

Jon Batiste, Toronto/Montreal, Uneasy Tour Road Trip Food Stop #3: Pre Concert Meal Montreal! Yes! I was on an 1100 mile (look I'm an American & I don't do Metric...) round trip loop starting & ending in Hartland, Vermont & spending one night with dinner & lunch outings, in Montreal. Pretty sure I've been in Montreal before. But also pretty sure it was so long ago I cannot pinpoint what decade that might have been...LOL I love a road tip tho. & I do spend some time planning out every move I make, most importantly my meals. Two things: I want to know where I'm going to eat & I do not want to "waste" time/money/calories on a meal with no forethought or a seriously disappointing meal. So I spent some time on Yelp browsing Montreal restaurants & I focused on Asian cuisine, because that's my jam. The restaurant scene in Montreal seemed a little strange, but there were Japanese options & I was actually kind of excited when I found Ichigo Ichie. I mean Japanese Pub Seemed like a genius idea. Spoiler Alert: It Is! I am that person who not only plans where I am going to eat, I also plan my actual meal. I review menus, I make preliminary item choices. I don't eat beef, pork or poultry, so some level of planning is always required. Particularly if I'm going to eat somewhere that identifies as a "Pub." Pubs are not necessarily known for their embrace of "meatless." You know? I read online menus for Ichigo Ichie & there were actually some things I really wanted to try. Plus they had small plates. Which is my jam. I always want to try as many different things as I can when I eat out & I'm that friend who is so commitment phobic I can't even commit to an entree for dinner. No. Really. Let me graze & snack! It looked promising at Ichigo Ichie. I drove from Toronto to Montreal & found parking right on the street on the same block (which I'm thinking might not be unusual for Canadians/Quebecois, but was kind of shocking for me!). I arrived shortly after they opened & was able to get a seat at the bar. There are multiple dining rooms & levels here & I feel like the lower Ramen spaces is probably amazing. There was no way I could eat a bowl of Ramen pre-concert & with Hot Flashes...but that situation looked TOP NOTCH. Take the whole "pub thing" seriously folks. I feel like I did not & this spot FILLED UP & became insanely loud. Which, if I'm saying it was loud, means probably unbearable for most everyone else. Service was good, but everyone got to where they were RUNNING because it was crazy. LOL Sake list is limited, but pretty good. Much better than most places. So my dining experience was sort of evenly split between being disappointed because I'd somehow ordered a dish with flavors I work with at my own spot every day (I want completely different flavors when I'm eating out) & meh Age Dashi Tofu to being SUPER INTO an amazing damn Daikon Salad (I. LOVE. Salads. Most especially when someone else makes them for me & they are intricate & have complex flavors & an interesting variety of ingredients) & the most delicious & satisfying Udon Carbonara (which they made meatless for me!). Not gonna lie. That Udon Carbonara had my attention all the way from Vermont before I ever got in the car to start that 1100 mile loop & it did NOT disappoint. Some delicious stuff happening here. Also staff is fully bilingual. But this is a local spot in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Which is the kind of place you WANT to be going to! Genius concept. Excellent execution. Great Local Vibes. Next Time: Ramen!

Nous avons passé une excellente soirée au Ichigo Ichie. L'ambiance était parfaite pour un vendredi soir & le service impeccable (Merci Sue! Tu as fait de notre soirée un succès :)). Les plats typiquement japonais étaient très réussis ainsi que les classiques revisites (Udon carbonara & poutine au crabe a carapace molle étaient des délices!!). Nous y retournerons à coup sur. Bravo!

Best Asian-inspired meal I've ever had. Great music & atmosphere. Young funky crowd. Worn minimalist wooden furniture in a dark, casual space. Fun, innovative cocktails. Amazing Asian dishes served tapas style, each with a creative, surprising spin. We loved the ichigo tonic cocktail & ichigo IPA, a deep-fried eggplant dish, the udon noodles with mushrooms, the black cod, & especially the hamachi sashimi. Service was superb — friendly, knowledgeable, & efficient. Even the desserts were great — tiramisu matcha & a donut dish. Highly recommend this restaurant.

We had a miso soup & salmon tartare for the appetizer, carbonara udon & unadon for the main, & doughnuts for dessert. The food was pristine in taste & presentation. The vibe was really pleasant; the music was not too loud & the lighting was dim & very allusive to Japanese Izakayas.

I'm giving it three stars for two reasons: first, the card machine shows you the tipping options with the 25% button closest to where the 10% usually is (even though I was very happy to give a larger tip, I feel that this is borderline taking advantage of the customer's reflexes). Secondly & sadly, the morning after we both felt ill to the stomach...

Great service overall.
