Possibly the best place on earth. $8 chicken teriyaki rice bowl (#3 Tori-don) is unbelievable. Great flavour across the entire sauce selection & very quick. Curry is great too. Cash only!

Great! Great! Great!
It is the best lunch place in the downtown Montreal. You will be full with $15 or less. You don't find many JDF (Japanese Domestic Food) restaurant in Montreal.

Waited in line to order, read the reviews & realized it's **cash only** so I had to walk to my bank. As soon as I arrived, the line was completely gone.

The service is nice & the food taste pretty good. I had the number 10 which was curry katsu. It tasted really good & they gave a reasonable amount of katsu chicken for a 10 dollar meal.

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!
