Japote

I had this place saved & was excited to try it, but was ultimately disappointed. At first I wanted to try their gyudon - but they said they didn't have it. It was 11:45am on a Monday. Mind you they open at 11:30am.

I opted for their Japanese curry chicken instead. It's premade, so it's just poured on top of the rice. The sauce was overly sweet for my liking, & the chicken & vegetables were sparse. It also wasn't super filling, despite being their large.

Their prices across the board seemed very reasonable & cheap (starting from $6CAD); this cost me $8CAD ($5.65USD). The place is in a bit of a weird location but wasn't too difficult to find. Kinda in an office building & have to go down 2 sets of escalators. While this meal wasn't the best, their other options might be better. Seems popular for McGill students.

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

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.

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

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!

Bit overrated. Very average japanese food in my opinion. It may appear that their plates are cheap. But the portion is subpar too.

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
