Review Summary

Imadake Izakaya is widely recognized as a vibrant and festive destination in Montreal, perfect for group gatherings, birthday celebrations, and those looking to enjoy the iconic sake bomb ritual. Many visitors praise the restaurant for its delicious, authentic Japanese dishes, with the ramen, tempura, cod, and matcha cheesecake frequently highlighted as standout options. While the atmosphere is consistently described as cozy, modern, and energetic, some guests note that the high noise levels and limited seating comfort may not suit everyone. Although the staff is generally noted for being friendly, helpful, and efficient, some experiences reflect inconsistencies in service speed and occasional challenges with small portion sizes relative to the price. Overall, it remains a popular choice for diners seeking a lively, informal social experience with a diverse menu of shareable plates.

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 .

This place is amazing ! I had a reservation & I didn't had to wait, as soon as I got there I was seated at a table. The place is nice well decorated. The drinks were really good, made by Alex who I had the chance to be served by at the bar, gave me strong recommendations ! The manager Shelly is super sweet I made so many change to my order & she was patient & understanding. The staff is truly what make the place great, on top of the food & the service. A must is the sake bomb which is the house speciality. A special thanks to, charlotte my waitress, who gave an excellent service, they kept talking about a certain Anthony guy, but I have no clue who that is, must be someone important or no.
Recommend this place 10/10.

I've been going here for over a decade & love it so much. A few dishes have disappeared, but everything on the menu is excellent. I have never been disappointed with a drink or food choice. Some of my top three favorites are Korokke, Yaki ika Grilled Squid 🐙 & Imadake Yakiniku. Honorable mentionable also are the tako wasbi, edamame & tako Karaage. The service is fantastic. The servers are always fun; the hostess is always Inviting & kind. I think they deserve raises & a pat on the back for how good of experience they go out of their way to provide.

Wow, this place was incredible. Great service, super tasty food, we got the ribeye & the hot stone to cook it on was fun. Also had the albacore with wasabi vinaigrette & the pork belly skewers with bbq sauce. Delicious! The hello kitty drink was pureed magic. The complimentary hot tea was nice since it was cold & wet outside. Definitely recommend Imadake!

A Wonderful Japanese Izakaya. Delicious food, variety of drink options, sake bombs, great atmosphere. Coat check at the front for easy sitting (chairs do not have backs but are very comfortable). All the staff are amazing. Cant wait to stop back next time I'm in town. Recommend!
