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.

Wow, this place was incredible. Great service, super tasty food, we got the ribeye & the hot stone to cook it on was fun. Also had the albacore with wasabi vinaigrette & the pork belly skewers with bbq sauce. Delicious! The hello kitty drink was pureed magic. The complimentary hot tea was nice since it was cold & wet outside. Definitely recommend Imadake!

The food there is amazing. I recommend the Cod fish. The service is good. The chairs are uncomfortable. Not a fancy place. Perfect for a date or a casual night hangout. Street parking available.

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"...

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!

We went to dine in. Was greeted nicely at the start. Food was served at decent times initially. We tried placing the full order at the same time but the server suggested to wait & order once we finish main course. Requested for cutlery that never arrived. Ordered dessert & waited for 50min for them to bring out a cheesecake. We wanted to cancel the dessert & pay & leave. Server kept ignoring us & we kept waiting. Atmosphere was ok. Very crowded & loud but that's expected. Overall a 2 star experience. Wouldn't be coming back with the service we received.

My visit to Imadake Izakaya was frustratingly overshadowed by painfully slow service. Orders were taken at a snail's pace, & the wait for food was excruciating, with zero communication from the staff about the delays. Although the food was passable, the service was inexcusably sluggish, souring the entire experience. This restaurant needs to drastically improve its service speed or risk turning away more customers. I am highly disappointed & unlikely to return.

Foods really good. Black cod & oyster mushrooms were delicious! Very tender karage chicken. Do not expect big portions. Our service from Ben was phenomenal thank you. We were a large group as well. Extra star for his service!! Liezl
