Quelle belle découverte. Nous avons essayé le menu découverte & avons été renversées par cette expérience culinaire. De bonnes combinaisons & belles saveurs. Cheers au cocktail Zenraimu recommandé par notre serveuse. À ce sujet le service était impeccable , l'ambiance à la fois agréable (pas de cohue sonore) & originale. Nous y retournerons assurément.

Wow! C'était délicieux. J'ai eu la chance de déguster les 2 variétés de ramens, les 3 sortes de grillades & la tartinade chaude de crabe, aucuns ne m'ont déçus. Un bravo particulier pour la cuisson de la pieuvre qui fondait en bouche. J'ai déjà hâte d'y retourner!!!!

An interesting place, a bit mid really. Food was fine, unremarkable but perfectly edible. Service was friendly & competent but the dishes came out very quickly & were all going to hit at the same time if we hadn't slowed them down. We had six of the sharing plates & it was enough for two. Music was loud but I get the feeling its what the crowd was looking for... it largely skewed a bit younger &/or theater goers. The place was hopping even for an early reservation (again Place des Arts is right around the corner - so a large theater crowd).

Overall, it's nothing special but definitely no reason to avoid. If you like Japanese grills & aren't really looking for anything challenging or mind blowing, then you could do worse.

Delicious food & exceptional service! The fuagura gyoza, ramen iru & chizukeki were perfectly crafted & well balanced. Thank you to our waiter, Simon, for the great experience & attention to detail :) we will be back!
