A no-frills yet delicious spot to satisfy your Japanese food cravings. Japote is a family-run eatery located in a food court. If you are looking for good value-for-money don, curry, or katsu, definitely give this place a try.
We ordered the Unagi Toji-don & the Japanese Chicken Cutlet Curry Rice with a croquette, & both were delicious. Service was quick, efficient, & friendly-just like what you would expect in Japan. There is also a sauce station where you can add & customise your own sauces.
One thing to note is that it is cash-only, so do prepare some cash when you are planning to drop by.

Best spot for a quick, easy & cheap meal. Sauce bar + sides feel authentic to Japan.

*cash only* The reviews are correct, the food here is excellent. Delicous savory umami flavors, s,m,l portion sizes for all appetities, lots of sauces to try, & pickled ginger to clean the palette. Bonus affordable prices. I had #7, the veggie & shrimp tempura covered in egg, with a crispy'karokke' & pickled ginger on the side. The best lunch I have had in along time & I will be back for more.

The curry katsu was really good & fresh! We had it for our craft services at The Brain Train film shoot, & it was great!

They deserve all the fame. The cheapest & most authentic Japanese meal you can get. It's open for a few hours so everyone rushes to get some, but it's truly worth it.

The curry katsu is legit, & a great value. Full of flavor & with high-quality cutlet. Worth upgrading to the large sizes because the dishes do skew kind of small. Lines are always long, but they move quickly.

Yes, it's in a food court, but they are serving delicious, fresh, inexpensive Japanese meals. Very friendly & helpful service. Great choice for a quick lunch if you're in the area! Cash only, but there is an ATM nearby.

The lineup is long but is served quickly. Love that they give just a reasonable portion for a reasonable price.

Delicious, quick, & cheap. The holy triefca that makes it popular with students & professionals in the area. It's located in the bottom of an office building but there is signage. When in doubt just follow the people

Went there for the first time today, loved it!! The staff is super nice too!
Edit: went back there many, many times during my undergrad. Absolutely delicious, nice staff & good prices (bring cash though!). Hands down my favorite place to eat lunch near McGill U, they have made so many of my lunches without ever disappointing. I may have graduated since, but I will definitely go back when I'm around. Thank you!

Insane value for the quality & quantity of food you get, especially in this economy

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.

Good food, moderate portion but with that price, it's unbeatable!
Highly recommended!
