Beware of'authentic'. The service is light-years away from any joint in Japan - no complimentary snack with your drink, ages between ordering & being served. The ramen is an exercise in blandness. Textures might be fine yet flavour is totally absent. For a fraction of the price, in Japan, a bowl of ramen is a trip though layers of different tastes. I'll surely won't come back.

The Brussels sprouts were the best thing I've ever eaten. The bluefin tuna was the freshest fish I've ever had. The sommelier was very helpful in choosing a wine & sake. The yuzu tarte for dessert was divine. Overall, a perfect experience with friendly, efficient service.

Nothing really special with their overpriced ramen. Broth was so mid & tasted like water with just MSG. There were only 2 people working at that time (1 as cook & 1 as host) so service & food was mid as hell.

First dish was the Karage (fried chicken): $9 ($3 a piece) 8/10 nice tender & felt like a wonton based on the coating.
Chirashi: $42 lots of different types of sashimi & soy rice with salmon roe. 8/10
Uni Mazemen: $58 Uni with salmon roe, chili oil, fried scallions was probably the main dish to try. Overall I give it an 7/10 nothing special, was creamy & oily a little too oily basically ruined the texture of all the ingredients combined. Had a nice kick & an umami flavour but definitely a bit disappointing based on the hype I read beforehand.
Futomaki of Bluefin tuna: the last dish & probably the best dish 9/10. Fish very fresh & the rolls held up well. $46

Overall 6.8/10 the experience lacked one waiter one chef, I will note the food was good but the value was not there for me. If you are looking for a place to try some good food & something maybe a little different than the norm & want to be left alone like at home this is a good spot. But if you are looking for a WOW factor in service & being wined & dined this isn't the spot. I wouldn't go again especially if you are at a price point of $120 a person for this kind of experience.

To add: being one waiter & one chef isn't to say that it's a bad thing but you can tell that it was awkward &'cold' as it felt like you were taking time away from the server when they should be there to really make it an experience for every party dinning there.

Kitano Shokudo is a true gem in Montreal. The food is authentically Japanese, beautifully executed, & paired with a fun, lively vibe. Sitting at the bar made the experience even better. The menu strikes a great balance between excellent sushi & Japanese dishes. The duck was outstanding, the fried chicken & Brussels sprouts were addictive, & the saki was great. An all around great night with great food & energy. Can't wait to go back.

Everything was excellent. The sashimi was incredibly fresh, the service was attentive, & their chirashi is one of the best I've had. The portion size was just right - very satisfying without being overwhelming.

Food was good, but when I come to a restaurant like this where the food is at a certain price point I expect a level of service too, this was mid at best. We came to celebrate a birthday & nothing was done to try & make it special. Had to ask multiple times for almost anything.

One of the very best Japanese restaurants in Montreal. Fresh Japanese that is truly authentic. A must visit to both Montreals & visitors
