I suspect some kind of fraud is going on. I get consistently charged 50¢ to $1.50 more than the price after taxes. Tested this with a friend, she had the same experience. You also never get a receipt.

The portions are not good either. Small teriyaki chicken has four 2/3 inch slices of chicken. Buying a bigger portion only gives you more rice. I've come here four separate times & ordered something different each time. Always get charged more than listed price + tax. Bigger sizes never get more food. It might've been worth it in the past, but they're definitely taking advantage of customers now.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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
