Review Summary

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.

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.

October 2025: ordered from the sushi side this time. Ordered 5 different Maki & also the salmon pizza & eel oshizushi. All of it was enjoyable.
March 2025: Had the tonkotsu ramen which was tasty but had less meat & egg than other places I find. Takoyaki was alright, but there was too much of a mayo sauce on it that threw it off. Tako wasabi was good but is a small portion considering how big it looks in the picture. Teriyaki tofu was as it should be.

So fresh!!! The sushi tuna & salmon fish are such good quality. Super ripe avocado too. Recently discovered this place on uber eats & I think it deserves more love! Amazing food!

Very very very salty inedible miso soup (almost like drinking soy sauce) & flavorless sushi. I browsed the review many people said their miso soup was flavor less from reviews a few months ago, maybe they now put too much salt to overcompensate it. Fillings was full of oily tempura crisps. Not much protein inside. Can't taste either its shrimp or crab or salmon because they use a lot of cheap tempura crisps. Not worth it even though it was only 20$ per person I still feel not worth it cuz it's taking space in my stomach. Feels like they poured the whole bottle of soya sauce into their miso soup. Not edible. The wasabi that comes with the sushi was squishy, yes squishy weird texture.
