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.
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!
A lively Japanese Restaurant-Bar where the ambiance is festive & carefree. Great shots of sake with drinks & the octopus balls remind me of my trip to Japan
Sake bombs are really fun to do as a group & the cold pint beers will quench your alcohol thirst. However, the food is waaaay over priced for what you get. No value to be had here but you will get the vibes.

Woww ! Une superbe soirée, notre serveur remi a été d un super conseil, adorable , souriant & si sympathique ! La nourriture délicieuse, des plats recherchés, coût de cœur pour le yakiniku sur pierre chaude & le karaage & pour finir en beauté une bombe saké dans la joie & la bonne humeur ! Merci nous reviendrons pour sur !
We went here yesterday & we’re served by Nancy, who seemed to be taking care of the entire restaurant.
She was amazing & made our experience memorable with her energy & care for us to have a great time.
The food was amazing, varied & for my friend & I to stuff ourselves with two sake-bombs & three cocktails, it came down to about 80-90$ per person.
Will come back here! & highly recommend going on Fridays & Saturdays because I believe that’s when Nancy works.
Great lively crowd, very fun to go in groups, & you have to try the saké bombs at least once for fun if not twice for repeat fun! Pricey markup on saké selection, but what restaurant doesn't on their wine menu nowadays... decent late night snack option if you want to do everything under the same roof, get well fed, a bit or more than a bit tipsy, & make a lot of noise in the middle of it all. There needs to be more competition with izakayas in montreal to bring down those wait lines. Guu & Zakkushi should definitely expand into Montreal to spread the love of good japanese food & hospitality.
Wow quelle ambiance!!!! C'était notre première expérience à ce resto & je le recommande fortement, que ce soit en couple ou en amis! Nous avons partagés plusieurs tapas; salade, carpaccio de poisson, crevettes tempura, boulettes de pieuvre, fromage de chèvre, le boeuf & la plaque. Tout était très très bon, il faut cependant aimé la friture, quoi qu'il y a de nombreux choix sans.
Les prix sont excellents; nous sommes sortis du restaurant avec une facture d'environ 45$ Chacun (incluant des shooters de saké bomb & un cocktail).

SAKE BOOOOOMB !
Service incroyablement rapide ce qui est exceptionnel vu le groupe que nous étions. Les serveurs munis de IPAD envoyebnt en cuisine les commandes & HOP la bouffe fuse. La peau de poulet frite est un plaisir coupable. Il vous faut essayer un fameux saké boomb. Ne vous y rendez pas trop tôt, l'ambiance est plus survoltée le soir.
Perfect for a big group. Their rainbow & saké bombs are a must-try but the place does get noisy. The welcoming was nice when we entered, but the waiter made a large mistake in our order. The menu is very varied which is a plus.
Great ambiance. Definitely lively & the place to go if you want to have a good time with friends. The menu takes some explanation but everything I've tried was excellent. As a fan of Sapporo (for those who are not familiar, it's a japanese beer), it is only natural that I am drawn to this place. The edemame is the perfect finger food to have along with a beer or saké bomb (which is surprisingly good).
If this website had an ambiance/atmosphere rating, Imadake would be on the top list. It is so loud. Went there on a Thursday with a group, the restaurant was flooded with people. Everyone's shouting SAKE BOMB! all the time, the staff cheers & drinks & seems to lose control but still keeps it running.
The menus are a bit messy to understand since you're dealing with traditional Japanese finger food but you just order random stuff & it's always ranks from edible to delicious. Takoyaki dish is a must, & at 25$/bottle of hot saké, it is so cheap to get the party started.
Note : For big groups make the reservation a few days in advance, & make it around 8pm or later. Otherwise there might be a group scheduled after you.

Excellent resto pour un lunch entre amis ou un 5 à 7. De la vraie cuisine japonaise authentique (enfin autre chose que du boeuf & des sushis). Tout est savoureux & les prix sont très corrects pour la qualité de ce qu'on sert. La bière & les sakés sont excellents aussi.
L'accueil est fantastique & le service très correct. L'ambiance de resto-pub est parfaite pour ce genre d'endroit, même si le confort des petits bancs est discutable.
Un des meilleurs resto-bars de l'Ouest du Centre-ville
