Review Summary

Japote is widely regarded as a premier, budget-friendly destination for authentic Japanese comfort food, particularly famous for its curry katsu, teriyaki chicken, and custom sauce selection. Although the eatery is situated within a food court and maintains limited weekday lunch hours, its reputation for quality, speed, and affordability attracts a consistent crowd of students and professionals. Customers frequently note the necessity of bringing cash and preparing for a queue, though the line typically moves efficiently. While some mention that portion sizes can be modest and suggest opting for larger servings, the overall consensus highlights the excellent value, friendly service, and delicious flavors that make it a must-visit downtown Montreal spot.

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]

Great food for really cheap! I had the teriyaki chicken (number 3). The line can be long but it's really fast once you've ordered, & the workers are very friendly! They only accept cash
