Welcome to Japote, the family owned fast food restaurant that has been serving up delicious food since 2014. Our first location was in Guy-Concordia, and we moved to our current place in 2018.
We are famous for our long line of people as we have become a popular choice for McGill students looking for a quick, delicious meal. We invite you to come and enjoy our food and create lasting memories with us!

Insane value for the quality & quantity of food you get, especially in this economyView more
Difficile à trouver, mais la file indique que c'est apprécié.
Les portions sont toutefois très petites. J'aurais aimé qu'on me suggère d'ajouter des légumes à mon plat pour compléter (ce qui aurait sans doute augmenté ma facture à un prix encore raisonnable). Je n'ai eu qu'un peu de poulet sur du riz collant - plutôt bon, mais j'avais faim 3 heures plus tard.
Photo = grande portion.
Argent comptant seulement, ce qui explique probablement le coût raisonnable de 10$ avec taxes payé aujourd'hui.View more
Good food, moderate portion but with that price, it's unbeatable!
Highly recommended!View more
Un peu décevant! J'ai pris le #10 large & il y avait trop peu de poulet. J'aimerais payé un peu plus & être rassasié.. Bon goût!View more
Wow wow wow! Friendly staff, quick service & delicious food for cheap! This place is a beautiful hidden gem. I recommend the oyakodon, & don't forget to bring cash. Also, I recommend that you come early to avoid the line of hungry students :)View more
Amazing prices & extremely fresh, homemade food. Reminded me of a lot of lunch spots from around Osaka & Tokyo. Staff are also super friendly & attentive - absolute gem of a lunch spot!View more
incredible staff, very quick, & very affordable. The food is very tasty, recommend the korroke for sure & they have a small station for sauces as well. they are open 12-3 & so if you want a quick grab, super recommend!View more

find the escalators & head down twice, following the signs will bring you to this downtown gem!!! they only take CASH so please come prepared as their opening window is quite small! the pricing is not something you see often, it's affordable, realistic & absolutely a bang for your buck! I'll definitely be coming back!!View more
Extremely affordable & delicious simple Japanese lunch fare. Very friendly & happy staff slinging succulent staples. Clearly the all-star of the basement food court it is located in. As a large & hungry man, I always shell out the extra $1 or $2 for a "large" portion so that I never leave hungry. Make sure to add the complimentary sauces & tsukemono (pickles). I can't wait to return again & again to the smiling staff & tasty hot lunch. They offer a rewards card too, further increasing the already great value that this establishment offers.View more
Good food for a cheap price. The employees are friendly.View more
I've been wanting to try Japote for a while after a friend recommended it but due to its opening hours it was really tough. I went at 11:30 & it was really busy. The food is really good & so are the prices. I got 2 plates because I knew it would be tough to come again so I took the opportunity to try multiple things. It's much cheaper when you order only one plate. They only accept cash. Even though the line was long, it moved quickly, the food & service were very good!View more
Great value 👍 Got the curry katsudon & a drink for 10$. Cute spot to grab a quick & tasty lunch. Fast service despite the lineup, please remember to bring cash~View more
A really simple & very good place for a Japanese curry.View more
A favorite place for me to get wonderful & authentic Japanese food for years now. Filling dishes from friendly staff that really make me feel like I'm in a food court in Tokyo. I particularly like the kakiage & korokke! Inexpensive & with a good value point card, too. It is in a food court under a bank, so it doesn't have the most ambience, but it's still a hidden gem for those in the know in the area.View more
Bit overrated. Very average japanese food in my opinion. It may appear that their plates are cheap. But the portion is subpar too.View more
The food is simply amazing. I love everything I have tried from Japote. I really love how their prices are student friendly, as you can eat lunch for 10$ (they only serve at lunchtime, mon-fri) I recommend you order the large option of the dish (the price will remain below 10$) but feel full enough. Also, the staff is super friendly & kind! Fav dish: teriyaki chicken [CASH ONLY]View more
$9 for a delicious chicken Katsu curry! Could not be happier I have it a try!View more
