Reviews describe Ichiraku Kawaki as a cozy, welcoming Japanese spot in Griffintown with warm decor and a relaxed vibe. The menu earns praise for fresh sushi, ramen, poke bowls, and bento options, with generous portions, solid flavors, and prices many find reasonable, plus a loyalty program that adds value. Service is typically friendly and attentive, though a few visits note slow timing or occasional order mixups; overall the staff are described as polite and helpful. The atmosphere is repeatedly highlighted as comfortable and homely, sometimes compared to a friend's living room, and the quality of fish and presentation is frequently commended. While a minority view some items as overpriced or point to pacing issues, the majority regard Ichiraku Kawaki as one of the neighborhood's standout casual Japanese spots and say they would return.

Quaint little Japanese restaurant in Griffintown, warmly decorated & chill vibes. Service is a bit slow but the server is very nice & offers many discounts on drinks. Food is very good in general. Portion size is decent, fish quality is great, price reasonable.
Tellement heureuse d'avoir découvert ce petit trésor caché! Tout était absolument délicieux & surtout à un prix très raisonnable! Super décor & ambiance 12/10!
Merci pour la découverte!
We stopped in on a cold, snowy evening Montréal & were warmly welcomed by the hostess/waitress. She was pleasant & outgoing, also at least bi-lingual, French & English. There were a few other patrons, yet we were wrapped in the warm
Atmosphere of the restaurant.
We opted for sushi from the broad menu & there was not a missed step in the simple presentation or delicious items were were provided with. The Salmon sushi was top notch & the tuna was grand. The eel was as close to just right as any sushi experience we have had lately. There was Japanese music on the speakers & a television tuned to a non stop series of presentation on Japanese art, dance & food. That may not be everyone's cup of tea, yet it was just right here. Like being in a friends living room trading stories & having delicious food & drink.
Very nice little restaurant that a colleague made me discover.
Having spend 6 month in Japan, I can tell you that the food they serve is close to what you can get in Tokyo (considering what they have at hand here in Montréal).
The food is tasty & well presented.
The staff is very polite & the atmosphere is nice.
Good place to have lunch for a very correct price.
Nous sommes allés manger des sushis & c'était excellent. L'accueil était super chaleureux & le rapport qualité/prix est vraiment génial! Nous recommandons sans hésiter :)
