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.
I visited this restaurant after I came across it in the Japanese food festival. This is currently my new favvvv Japanese restaurant !! I ordered the following food items: - Gyu Tataki - Butabara Yakitori Style - Shoyu Tonkotsu Baka Ramen - Kuromayu Ramen - Raindrop Cake The Gyu Tataki, it's a dish featuring thinly sliced seared beef, was a revelation of textures & flavors. Each tender bite was complemented by the tangy citrus-infused sauce. This was my absolute favourite.
Superbe place pour manger de fabuleux ramen & autre met Japonais avec une ambiance unique à l'intérieur ! Attention, si vous cherche calme & silence préférez à emporter c'est tout aussi délicieux & ça vous conviendra mieux !
La comida espectacular, calidad, sabor y saber hacer. El mejor ramen que he probado fuera de Japón, las bolitas de pulpo también riquísimas. El servicio bueno pero enjugascado con las mesas que estaban de fiesta. El ambiente lo peor; muchísimo ruido, gritos, líos y follones de gente, sobre todo a la hora del sake
We just ate here as a group of six before a movie at the forum. Great food (tasty & fresh), service & atmosphere & they accommodated us even though we were on a time crunch. We had a mix of the specials, ramen, grilled & fried stuff & everything was good. Would recommend & would be back.
Amazing food, probably my new favorite Izakaya in Montreal. Food was very fresh & tasty, we had the Okonomiyaki, ramen, takoyaki & Japanese fries. Very authentic feel to the place, the whole kitchen staff is Japanese & everyone welcomes you with a « irasshaimse » when you come in. Our waitress Min was a sweetheart & I recommend asking for her if you go 💕 restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside, but trust me it's worth a try. Will be back for sure!
Mon conjoint & moi sommes tombés sur ce restaurant par hasard, & c'est une vraie mine d'or! Les ramens étaient délicieux & goûteux. & que dire de leur cheesecake au macha fait maison? Il est excellent! L'endroit est agréable avec une belle ambiance, le personnel est courtois & gentil. Un must si vous passez à Montréal & aimez les ramens!
Amazing atmosphere, great service. They go above & beyond to make you happy & give you a great night to remember. The only downside was the Ramen, it lacks flavor.

I read that this is one of the best izakayas in Montreal but that was not my experience at all. There wasn't anything authentic about the food & there was something off about every dish. It felt like amateur hour in the kitchen. We ordered a bunch of appetizers & ramen. The "okay" dishes were the shrimp mayo & yukke, though both lacked refinement. The shrimps were big & fried well, but the pieces of nuts were chunky & odd. The yukke was seasoned well but the strands of beef made it look like it had been put through a meat grinder without being cut properly. It was just weird to be eating long, thick stings of beef. Everything else went downhill from there. The karaage was over fried, dry & not juicy. The okonomiyaki was literally pancake batter with a few tiny pieces of tako - it tasted like a bunch of takoyaki flattened into a pancake shape. The gindara cod was cooked well, but it was such a small piece & the marinade was overly sweet with no other flavour. It felt so homecooked. The worst offender was the ramen. We waited so long for this that we weren't really hungry anymore. But this has got to be the worst ramen I've eaten in my life. The broth was so thick & heavy that it tasted more like a stew. The noodles were undercooked & tasted like spaghetti. The chashu slices did not taste fresh. Neither of us could eat more than a few bites because it was just so bad! Honestly, my experience here has scarred me from trying out other Japanese places in Montreal if this is considered one of the "best"...
Amazing Japanese restaurant with great beer & even better food. Think more like tapas style with a ton of shareable plates & the best ramen I've ever had!
Je recommande ce restaurant les yeux fermés ! Sous les conseils de notre charmante serveuse Min Jee nous avons pris poulet frit & ramen (celui avec des champignons je me souviens plus du nom) & mon copain le plus épicé ! Nous nous sommes régalés. Bravo à la cuisine & au service souriant de Min Jee.

A great Japanese restaurant for Ramen & other delectable Japanese delicacies =) Prices are good, staff are nice & the decor inside is quite quaint. It's located almost on the edge of downtown Montreal.
Le ramen & les entrées étaient bonnes, mais les boissons étaient vraiment incroyables. Tenshi No Namida est un cocktail à base de gin & de jus d'aloès & c'est une combinaison parfaite à laquelle je n'avais jamais pensé avant. Le umeshu était également délicieux. Super service aussi!
Me & my boyfriend went there 2 times already. The food is overall quite good, I had beef tongue for the first time of my life, it was tasty, the grilled calamari were okay, the ramen soup was quite nice, the broth had a lot of taste. For the drinks we had 3 cocktails from their cocktail menu, their Long Island ice tea, was mostly tasting gin with some floral infusion. Overall we had a great night, it’s worth the stop for the ambiance as well!
