Unbeatable lunch spot. Affordable, fast, & delicious in a way that is impossible to find so close to McGill or downtown. The food is good, but the sauce options bring everything up a notch.

Cash only, & if you have a bigger appetite I would recommend getting multiple items, but it is still worth it!

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 :)

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!

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]
