Review Summary

Imadake Izakaya receives praise for a vibrant, lively izakaya atmosphere with a wide range of Japanese dishes and an array of drinks including sake bombs and plum wine, and for offering some of the best ramen in town, especially kuromayu ramen, with several reviews calling the broth rich and the noodles satisfying. The service is generally described as friendly, efficient and attentive, though a few visitors note occasional slow pacing or being overwhelmed by the crowd when staff are limited, and some comment on noisy spaces and less comfortable seating. Many diners highlight the quality and variety of dishes such as gyoza, karaage, octopus tartare, seaweed salad, and grilled seafood, while others feel portions can be small for the price. A number of reviews mention high value and a memorable experience with strong recommendations to try the sake bombs, specific cocktails, and the matcha cheesecake, though a minority point out issues like inconsistent wait times, billing glitches, or overly loud environments. Overall the sentiment leans positive with Imadake Izakaya regarded as a standout Montreal spot for ramen and Japanese fare, worth a visit for groups or celebrations, with reservations advised and atmosphere that invites sharing several dishes.

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.

Nous étions un petit groupe & avons goûté à plusieurs assiettes.
La nourriture est tout simplement délicieuse.
Leur bière maison est douce & goûteuse sans trop d'amertume.

Seul bémol, réservé une banquette si vous n'appréciez pas les tabourets. Mon ptit dos négligé de 37 ans a pas eu de plaisir 😂.

Fun in groups! Lots of tasty food to choose from, the bill can run away from you so it’s best to order a couple of small plates, reassess your appetite, & order more if you’re still hungry! Cocktails are delicious.

This is a small, fairly casual, modern, lively restaurant with a young clientele. The restaurant is very clean, the servers are friendly & the service is good. The food is excellent & the grilled cow's tongue & the grilled octopus are memorable & I'll definitely go back there to eat those two dishes again. I was there for my birthday & all of the lights in the restaurant were turned off when the servers brought my dessert, with lighted candles, to our table & sang happy birthday to me - it was a surprising, nice touch.

Plusieurs comparent cet endroit avec Kazu, mais les deux sont totalement différents. On voit que le service chez Imadake, quoi qu'acceptable, est plus détaché malgré les efforts que les serveurs font à se cacher derrière les clichés d'un izakya. Malgré cela, c'est un excellent endroit pour passer du bon temps en groupe si vous aimez ce genre de nourriture (j'en suis un gros fan), surtout que l'endroit est assez grand & qu'ils prennent les réservations. Ils pourraient quand même faire attention à l'ordre d'arrivé des plats. Un ramen épicé pour commencer? Ce n'est pas la meilleure idée, mais il vaut mieux ne pas laisser les nouilles boire tout le bouillon.

Avec un budget suffisant, votre expérience culinaire à ce restaurant sera mémorable. Offrez-vous plusieurs plats. Quelques options pour ceux qui n'aiment pas les fruits de mer. Essayer leur mélange bière + Ginger Ale.

We made a reservation at imadake at least 1 month before my friend birthday but the day before they called us to tell us that they can't fulfill the reservation without any good justification. We were only a group of 8 & this is really a lack of respect. I use to like the place but after that I will invest my money somewhere else.

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.

Located right next to the AMC, (dinner & a movie anyone?), Imadake (meaning: "only for you," geez, blush, for me? thanks dudes) does what it's meant to do, that is serve you a large selection of drink & snack, very well. We settled on a few of the usual suspects to see if their versions of the more standard dishes are up to scratch. They are.

As a takoyaki (essentially octopus balls, well not octopus balls, but ball-shaped snacks with octopus inside) fan, I was thrilled with their authentic flavour. Thrilled, I tells ya - from the batter to the aonori (green laver) & bonito shavings, perfection!

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.

Nous avons atterri au Imadake après un 5 à 7 désastreux sur la terrasse d'un hôtel snobinard. Imadake! Quelle ambiance! On s'y sent bienvenu sans chichi! Le service peut sembler un peu lent, mais cela fait partie de ce type de resto "pub japonais" où les plats à partager arrivent les uns après les autres. Bien que bruyant (la musique pourrait être un peu moins forte), j'ai adoré mon expérience & je recommande ce resto à tous les jeunes & les moins jeunes qui aiment s'attarder à table & se payer du bon temps pour pas cher!

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).
