Great Japanese restaurant. Some of the signature plates are worth a try like cod or calamari. The place is loud on weekends however if you prefer calm go early.

Delicious Japanese spot! The yasai tempura was amazing; light, crispy, & made with very fresh seasonal vegetables. We also had the shoyu tonkotsu & tonkotsu ramen, & both were rich, flavorful, & super satisfying. Definitely a great place for ramen!

Finally found a good Japanese pub where they serve sake bombs & play the role! Absolute must go. Kind of in the middle of nowhere but thankfully it's close to the metro & Alexis nihon mall. Has a little something for everyone. Highly recommend the carbonara udon. Have a go at the octopus tartare if you're daring! 100% coming back here again. Make sure to share plates!

I keep coming back! This is one of my favourite places in Montreal. I keep coming back for birthdays, or just an evening with my mother.

The bartender, Sacha, makes the best cocktails. The plum wine is a must. The menu is extensive & always has news unique things like a octopus tartare or a seaweed salad (which I recommend if you want a fun twist on salads).

I highly HIGHLY recommend the matcha cheesecake. I keep coming back just for that & end up finding new menu things I adore. The ramen carbonara is amazing. The raspberry cheese goat skewers are so original & delicious. Their Japanese fries seems simple at first but, with a beer, they are divine.

I recommend going with a friends & getting a lot of things to share. The portions seem small, but that's the point; you get different things to share & try. Trust me, this is not a place to miss in Montreal.

Imadake Izakaya: A Vibrant Tapestry of Grilled Enchantment

Tucked within a leisurely stroll from the Atwater metro station, Imadake Izakaya beckons as an authentic haven of Japanese gastronomy & the convenience of abundant paid parking in close proximity ensures a seamless journey.

While a series of steps grace the entrance, it's worth noting that the absence of wheelchair accessibility is a limitation that gently underscores the spirited aura within.

As you step across the threshold, a symphony of boisterous patrons enraptured in their culinary indulgence welcomes you. The bustling energy weaves an intoxicating atmosphere that authentically embodies the izakaya experience.

Amidst this lively canvas, the establishment stands as a paragon of efficient staffing. Despite the joyful chaos, the service remains an embodiment of excellence. Our server gracefully navigated the dance of orders, ensuring our dining sojourn flowed seamlessly as we delighted in multiple rounds of exquisite fare.

The journey through flavors was nothing short of poetic. Grilled seafood & meats emerged as orchestrated symphonies of taste, each morsel perfected to achieve the zenith of succulence & flavor. The 1-liter Sapporo beer, cradled in a chilled, thick glass mug, retained its frosty allure-a small detail that speaks volumes about the meticulous care woven into every aspect.

The embrace of warm sake added an exquisite layer of comfort, a delightful elixir that kindled warmth within.

Imadake Izakaya radiates as a luminous star within Montreal's culinary constellation. It isn't just about the culinary offerings-it's an orchestration of ambiance, service, & flavors that elegantly dance together.

Every element of Imadake Izakaya is imbued with distinction, a testament to a commitment to excellence that resonates in every bite & sip. Amidst this orchestration, a reasonable price point underscores the dedication to offering an exceptional experience within easy reach.

In honor of its profound impact on both palate & spirit, Imadake Izakaya is unequivocally deserving of a well-earned five-star rating. As steadfast patrons, we eagerly anticipate the continuation of this enchanting culinary journey, savoring the vivacious experience that awaits with every visit.

Japanese restaurant with ramen that look & taste like the ones they make in Japan. Their menu is well-balanced & has plenty of vegetarian & vegan options. We ordered the grilled calamari & takoyaki as starters, then transitioned to a seasonal carbonara udon & the kuromiya ramen. All plates tasted amazing. In terms of atmosphere, I went with a 3 out of 5 because the place has a weird smell that I've never found in other establishments of similar cuisine; & it's very noise (which some people may like). Service was mediocre, with our server never looking at our table & taking forever to see what we needed. Overall, a 4 out of 5 - but still worth going again because of the delicious, authentic food.

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.
