Imadake is committed to serving you the best. Our ingredients are organic, steroid and antibiotic free with certified “Ocean Wise” seafood. We are an eco-friendly entity which incorporates sustainable practices in its daily operations.
Reviews describe Imadake Izakaya as a lively, boisterous Japanese pub experience where the atmosphere is festive and loud, making it great for groups and celebrations but less ideal for quiet dates. The food is generally praised as tasty and varied, with standout ramen especially the kuromayu ramen and a wide range of small plates that are fun to share; some dishes are excellent while others are only average or lukewarm, and portions are often small for the price. Sake bombs and other cocktails are a recurring highlight, with many noting the ritual, the playful energy, and strong drinks. Service is described as friendly and efficient when not overwhelmed, though some visits report slow or inconsistent service during busy times and occasional billing hiccups. The decor and vibe are cozy yet noisy, with a Japanese pub feel and occasional drafts or seating concerns. The location near Atwater and the option to RSVP are frequently recommended, and many reviews commend variety of dishes such as octopus tartare, gyoza, karaage, and unique items like carbonara udon. Overall Imadake Izakaya appears to be a must for fans of vibrant nights out who want a wide menu and energetic atmosphere, while some guests wish for larger portions and quieter moments.
Delicious Japanese spot! The yasai tempura was amazing; light, crispy, & made with very fresh seasonal vegetables. We also had the shoyu tonkotsu & tonkotsu ramen, & both were rich, flavorful, & super satisfying. Definitely a great place for ramen!
Très belle expérience! La nourriture est excellente, c'est frais & savoureux. Le service était rapide & sympathique. La clientèle est relativement jeune…& festive.
Food is very tasty but choices are limited & portions are small. A fun atmosphere for 25 to 35 yr olds. You can do shots that are balanced on chopsticks & then fall into a glass of beer.
Located across Alexis Nihon/Atwater, they're known for their sake bombs. The experience was quite a party scene! Me & my friends ordered sake bombs & they bring it to you, instructs how it works, then they chant loudly with you until you bang the table & your sake drops in the beer. We loved the sake bomb ritual!
While the food was mid (consensus from all of my friends), their matcha cheesecake is delicious & so are their cocktails. Service was a bit slow because it was packed & we had to remind some of our orders. However, the ambience was cozy & a bit loud (as expected on a weekend). I enjoyed my birthday party (& experience) there. Overall, recommended to RSVP in advanced as it can get packed & it's a cute spot for dates or informal hangouts!
The ambiance was great & the service was very good, the shared fried dishes were good but my ramen was lukewarm & the other main meals were just a bit underwhelming

Notre expérience a été gâchée par lait froid qui entre avec chaque client. Mon conjoint a dû manger son repas avec son manteau tellement il faisait froid.
Nourriture bonne, pas trop cher. Bon drink & personnel courtois. Décor rappelant les pubs du Japon .
Mixed vibes at Imadake. On one hand, the food is incredible & served lightning-fast. On the other, the noise level is absolutely insane. It's the kind of place where you have to scream to be heard. perfect for a rowdy group of friends, but a bit much for a Friday night date.
Service was disappointing at the end, our waiter literally went to do shooters with another table while we sat there waiting for the machine to pay our bill. We had to hunt down another staff member to settle up.
I'll come back when I'm ready to scream my lungs off for sake bombs with a crowd, but never again for a'private' setting!
Finally found a good Japanese pub where they serve sake bombs & play the role! Absolute must go. Kind of in the middle of nowhere but thankfully it's close to the metro & Alexis nihon mall. Has a little something for everyone. Highly recommend the carbonara udon. Have a go at the octopus tartare if you're daring! 100% coming back here again. Make sure to share plates!

I had the udon carbonate & edamame & they were really good. Service was also really good. Last time I had the fried chicken & the veggie gyoza & they were just ok. That's why I'm giving a 4
First time being here with my man & it was a great experience! The food was amazing!
Alex was great & this beautiful women julie that helpt out as well. If I lived in Montreal I would be here all the time! I would highly recommend coming here! :)
They were welcoming & nice! Service was sometimes slow but understandably so because there were limited staff. The food always came out hot/fresh! Atmosphere is cozy :)

Overall very poor experience. They served me karaage that was pink on the inside, when I told the server about the issue he proceeded to tell me that it was fully cooked & it's normal for chicken thighs to be pink. Afterwards, it took over 20 minutes for me to receive my bill.
J'ai visiter le restaurant pour la première fois hier soir. Nous étions un groupe de 20 dans la salle au sous sol. Salle qui était très petite & sombre d'ailleurs. Nous avions le menu à 55$ par personnes. Il y a eu Zéro explication & présentation de la part du serveur. Il nous apportait les plats en plusieurs services sans même nous expliquer ce que nous allions manger. Donc mon groupe à mangé les repas sans savoir ce que c'était. J'ai du demander au serveur pour savoir si on pouvait utiliser la machine à karaoké & savoir comment elle fonctionnait. De plus, ce restaurant pub Japonais n'avais que 2 options de bière. Puis, en pleine soirée il ne restait plus de bière blonde donc on ne pouvais pas faire de sake bombe. Selon le serveur le mix de bière ambré avec le sake n'allait pas être bon. On a donc fait des saké bombe avec de la bière blonde sans alcool. Malgrés plusieurs services, les portions de nourriture étaient très petites à partager entre nous & je suis resté sur ma faim... Heureusement, la machine à karaoké à sauvé notre soirée car nous avons créé notre propre fun. Service vraiment ordinaire. Puis, pour un vendredi soir, ne plus avoir 1 bière sur seulement 2 choix, ça aussi c'est ordinaire.
