Situé au cœur du plateau à Montréal, Kitano Shokudo est un restaurant Japonais chaleureux et délicieux qui vous sert des plats faits à la main de qualité, des sakés et des vins uniques ainsi qu'un service remarquable. Ce bistro Incroyable vous offre une expérience Japonaise que vous ne voudrez pas manquer !
Les avis sur Kitano Shokudo convergent sur une cuisine japonaise authentique et une présentation soignée, avec des sashimis très frais, des chirashi généreux et des plats remarquables comme le mazemen au canard et un uni mazemen. L'ambiance est décrite comme intime et chaleureuse, le décor minimaliste et la musique agréable, et le service est percu comme attentif lorsque l'équipe est au complet. Le restaurant est petit et fonctionne en duo, ce qui peut donner une impression d'efficacité variable et laisser certains clients sur leur faim lors des services plus occupés; certaines expériences paraissent moyennes en raison d'un prix élevé par rapport à la taille des portions. Malgré cela, Kitano Shokudo est souvent considéré comme l'une des meilleures adresses japonaises de Montréal et mérite une réservation à l'avance, avec des plats qui plaisent par leur fraîcheur et leur équilibre des saveurs.
Kitano Shokudo is an incredible restaurant with a a warm & minimalist atmosphere, clean wood, soft lighting, & the faint sound of sizzling food from the open kitchen. The staff are incredibly kind & attentive which makes the experience feel personal.
The food truly sets Kitano Shokudo apart. Every dish feels like a small act of care. The miso soup is perfectly balanced, the sashimi melts in your mouth, & the duck noodles are perfection. The presentation is so thoughtful it feels almost too beautiful to eat. You can tell the ingredients are fresh & prepared with care.
I enjoyed a delicious lunch during my leisurely stroll around town. The food was exceptional, the service friendly & attentive, & the relaxed atmosphere made the experience even more enjoyable.
I made sure this spot was on our list for the trip, & we're so glad we went. We got to try their maguro futomaki, fresh, rich, perfectly seasoned, with tuna that melts in your mouth. The ramen was flavourful with a refreshing hint of yuzu. The karaage was golden & crisp on the outside, juicy & tender on the inside, just perfect. Service was friendly & attentive.
We had a wonderful experience & will definitely return the next time we visit!
Tremendous quality fish, classic presentation, just really, really good. & the must-get mapo tofu was unreal delicious. (Side note: my wife was disappointed that a scallop dish she'd seen online wasn't on the specials list that night; they made it for her anyway!)

Absolutely worth the trip. Fabulous food, great service & nice vibe with the music. At a volume that makes it possible to hold a conversation.
We'll be back for sure.
The best Japanese food we've had outside Japan! Everything was 10/10. The restaurant is a two man show - don't know how they do it but they pull it off well.
We ordered:
- Miso soup
- Crab Mazemen (explosion of flavour)
- Chirashi
- Maguro Don (the tuna was literally melt in your mouth)
- Dessert Pudding
I consider myself a sushi connaisseur & by all means not an expert but this restaurant was underwhelming. Fish had no flavor, presentation was bland & not a big variety of fish.

We had the sashimi, Maguro Don, & Uni Carbonara-everything was so good! The Maguro Don was my favorite-fresh, flavorful, & perfectly done. The vibe was awesome too, with a DJ spinning great music on turntables & stylish decor that added to the experience. Highly recommend!
Every dish was flavourful, especially the crab mazemen, very good. Need to make a reservation in advance & the service was great but a bit slow, though there was only one server doing the most so I don't blame him.
Incredible food, service, & spot. We got the sashimi, octopus salad, Brussels, & crab mazemen. Everything was just deeeeeeelicious. Oh, & the matcha tiramisu. I don't even like tiramisu but I saw another table trying it & it looked fantastic. So I ordered one & bloody hell it was good. I'll come back to Montreal just to eat here. Well done!

Came all the way from the airport between connections just to try it & it was very disappointing 😭💔
I hate typing this because the customer service is very nice & the place is okey but it's hard for me not to write a review about it…
I order only one dish because the restaurant smell was not very pleasant when I arrived, but still wanted to try it after all.
I tried the maguro bowl & I thought, yk is $42 before tax I imagined it was going to be a nice portion…WRONG, just a little bowl on it.
& that's okey! But the worst part is that the fish was very irony (like you can taste the iron) flavour, the rice was soaked in soya sauce & it kills the nice fat of the tuna😭. I wasn't expecting a big size because I understand fat tuna is expensive but at least make it tasty🥺.
I left very upset & had to pay 50$ for just a bowl I forced myself to eat.
There's nothing wrong with the restaurant, I just wish they made a expensive fish a delicate & fresh meal…
The rice was very salty as well, I'm sorry for the review but it was very sad from my part not to enjoyed it.
Very disappointed about it. We had high expectations because of its high rating on Google, but a $78 sashimi set, the most expensive sashimi set on the menu is so tiny portion that even for me, a New Yorker would find it unreasonably priced. The chirashi bowl, which was ordered by our neighbor desk & is only half of the price, has no significantly less quantity of fish. The marinated spotted prawn tastes good, but one shrimp is not as fresh as it should be. The only reasonably priced maybe the ramen. We eventually paired over $80 person with stomach half full.
