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.

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!

I came here with a party of six & let me just say, it was a good way to start the night. The food was great, everything came out relatively quickly. I was skeptical about the fries but the server convinced me otherwise. Speaking of the server, Nancy! Nancy was a great! Very fun, charismatic, helped us out with the menu/recommendations. Definitely would come back, when we're in town.
