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.

Cela faisait longtemps que je voulais découvrir ce restaurant ! Nous y sommes allées à 2 & nous avons bien mangé ! On était assises au bar avec vue sur la cuisine. J'ai pris un hotaru ika mazemen qui était très bon ! Je n'avais jamais vu ni manger de hotaru ika ce fût une excellente surprise. On a aussi pris des sashimi en entrée &... à tomber ! 🫠 Une excellente expérience !

Memorable Japanese experience in a low-key setting, provided by a highly skilled Chef. The quality of the ingredients is top notch. Everything was on-point. Can't wait to try more items on the menu!

This is a simple establishment focused on the food where the food has never disappointed. A creative Japanese menu with the highest fish quality. One person cooking, one person serving. The fried foods are perfect, the beer is as it should be--served in frosted glasses--& the sake list is of interest.

All the ingredients are very fresh which makes every bite an incredible experience. Definitely on the more expensive side & a bit of a wait between dishes, but it attests to the detail & care they put into their food. Great service as well. Personally wasn't a huge fan of the eggplant but the rest was top tier. I will definitely be back to relive some of the great bites, & discover new ones.

If I was living closer, this would be my canteen. Fresh, delicious & authentic Japanese food. Don't miss out on the custard pudding. Service is discreet & efficient.
