Review Summary

Kitano Shokudo is a highly regarded, intimate destination in Montreal known for its authentic Japanese fusion menu and cozy, minimalist atmosphere. Patrons frequently praise the exceptional quality of the fresh sashimi, duck mazemen, and uni carbonara, often highlighting the thoughtful presentation and vibrant flavors of each dish. While the operation is run by a small team, resulting in occasional wait times, many guests find the personalized service and attention to detail to be part of the restaurant's unique charm. Although some visitors note the higher price point and limited seating capacity, the consensus remains that the culinary experience and refined craftsmanship make it a standout choice for those seeking high-quality, carefully prepared Japanese cuisine.

A cute little place that I've passed by a dozen times on Mont Royal & never noticed, until a friend in the neighbourhood said we had to try it, his favorite Japanese restaurant in Montreal. We had the sashimi for two (very fresh & tasty, although a little lacking on presentation), & the brussel sprouts smothered (in a good way) in a soy-balsamic sauce. Then we had the wild boar mapo-tofu, very good although the portions were small. Having a little more atmosphere & a friendlier vibe would contribute a lot to this place.

The best meal I had in Montreal. We couldn't get reservations online so showed up when they opened & were able to get seats, it filled up soon after. We got the ramen, curry & a salad & even though it sounds simple, the flavors were so balanced & delicious. It's not a super fancy place but the quality of the ingredients & food was on par with or better than a lot of fine dining places. So happy to have tried this place!

Le meilleur restaurant japonais de Montréal. Thats it . Thats the review!!!!! Réservation absolument conseillée le soir parce que le restaurant est très fréquenté mais possibilité de venir se régaler le midi sans reservation. Je recommande absolument & je reviendrais

Petit restaurant de l'avenue Mont-Royal très sympathique. Nourriture exceptionnelle, dont un pétoncle que je me souviendrait toute ma vie. Belle sélection de saké & bon conseil de notre serveuse. N'oubliez pas de réserver à l'avance, car c'est toujours plein.

Very cozy & small restaurant with a chill vibe. Service was on the slower side as there was only one waiter. The food was however pretty good. My favourite dishes were the duck mazeman & the crab mazeman. The duck was very crispy & fall off the bone tender. The noodles mixed with the egg made it very rich & delicious. The crab mazeman had a hint of spicy & the ikura complimented the dish well. It tasted very seafoody & it was a generous portion of crab. Was dissaponted with the chicken wings as it tasted pretty bland (special of the week). The Brussels sprouts were good but nothing out of the ordinary. Would come again for the mazeman & to try out their chirashi.

Food tasted nice, but nothing amazing... found the service was a bit slow but that was because there was only one person working the kitchen....
