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!
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

The ramen is some of our favorite in town. We tried most dishes & there wasn't much that wasn't delicious. The only reason we ever choose not to go is that it gets extremely loud even when there's not that many people.
Nous sommes allés un dimanche soir. Malgré que ce coin de la rue Sainte-Catherine n'est pas le plus accueillant, le restaurant l'était! Superbes murales & décorations en général.
Les 4 employés avec qui nous avons intéragi étaient sympathiques & professionnels.
Merci à Julie pour les recommandations & le service attentionné & régulier!
Avec ma fiancée, nous avons pris le gyoza de porc, le tartare de saumon, le ramen kuromayu (qui vient avec une pâte épicée séparée pour épicer selon les goûts), la morue & la sangria laichi no hana.
Tout était délicieux mais gros coup de coeur pour la morue & le ramen!!
Facture de 144$ avec pourboire & nous avons très biwen mangé & bu!

Serveur & serveuse font tous pour vous faire vivre une expérience japonnaise hors du commun .
Allez y vous ne le regretterez pas.🇯🇵🎌🍜
The service was really 10/10
As for the food I have no complaints
The ramen has changed me as a person, definitely a must try! I would totally come back for it (& I tend to be VERY picky with my ramen)
However I think for the price the portions can be fairly small, if you have a really big appetite one plate will not be enough to fill you up.
I keep coming back! This is one of my favourite places in Montreal. I keep coming back for birthdays, or just an evening with my mother.
The bartender, Sacha, makes the best cocktails. The plum wine is a must. The menu is extensive & always has news unique things like a octopus tartare or a seaweed salad (which I recommend if you want a fun twist on salads).
I highly HIGHLY recommend the matcha cheesecake. I keep coming back just for that & end up finding new menu things I adore. The ramen carbonara is amazing. The raspberry cheese goat skewers are so original & delicious. Their Japanese fries seems simple at first but, with a beer, they are divine.
I recommend going with a friends & getting a lot of things to share. The portions seem small, but that's the point; you get different things to share & try. Trust me, this is not a place to miss in Montreal.

Très belle soirée avec bon service & la cuisine est excellente !! Le ramen shoyu tonkotsu est délicieux, cependant pas de nouilles épaisses comme indiqué sur la carte… le ramen épicé n'était pas épicé. Dans l'ensemble, délicieux & copieux, bon rapport qualité prix. L'ambiance dans le restaurant était cependant trop bruyante, on s'entendait pas parler.
With its lively, vibrant atmosphere, it's the perfect venue for happy hour, to unwind after work, or just to have a great time with friends.
We kicked off our evening with some delicious appetizers, including salmon tartare & karaage, all of which were wonderful. For our main course, we indulged in a hearty, creamy ramen that was incredibly filling!
Of course, no visit would be complete without a round of sake bombs, & I couldn't resist going all out with the Rainbow Bomb 🌈💣 for a fun twist! 😅
Un des tops ramens de Montreal, le bouillon est « thick » & délicieux, l'oeuf bien cuit, la viande tendre. Il faisait un peu froid près de la fenêtre mais on nous a offert du thé pour se réchauffer c'était très apprécié. Pour finir, le cheesecake au matcha était SOLIDE, j'ai le goût d'y retourner juste pour ça…& apparemment les sake shots!
Japanese restaurant with ramen that look & taste like the ones they make in Japan. Their menu is well-balanced & has plenty of vegetarian & vegan options. We ordered the grilled calamari & takoyaki as starters, then transitioned to a seasonal carbonara udon & the kuromiya ramen. All plates tasted amazing. In terms of atmosphere, I went with a 3 out of 5 because the place has a weird smell that I've never found in other establishments of similar cuisine; & it's very noise (which some people may like). Service was mediocre, with our server never looking at our table & taking forever to see what we needed. Overall, a 4 out of 5 - but still worth going again because of the delicious, authentic food.
Les ramens sont extraordinaires !! le bouillon est savoureux, le seul point négatif est au niveau du service. Les serveurs & serveuses étaient très sympathiques & avaient de bons conseils/recommandations, mais peu présents. Nous avons beaucoup attendu pour de l'eau pendant le repas & nous avons du interpeller plusieurs serveurs & serveuses pour avoir du service.
