Good Izakaya vibes with an impeccable service as always. The squid is well grilled & very fresh. The Okonomiyaki is my favorite ~
It's always nice to have a sake, plum wine, or sapporo to balance well with the food!
For a Wednesday, it's a perfect place to drink cold sake & relax. I may recommend making a reservation if it's during the weekends, though, since it's busier, but worth to pass by & try some new dishesView more

Tonight was the 2nd time & the food was delicious, the staff were friendly, & attentive. It was also my sister's birthday & the staff gave her a slice of cake with a candle singing happy birthday. Absolutely 1000% recommend.View more

The place itself is really cozy & a cool vibe. With the many options for good Japanese food in Montreal I would not recommend - food is pretty underwhelming. Could be a fun place to get cocktails.View more

Kyodai Japanese Izakaya is a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic Japanese food in a cozy, vibrant setting. The atmosphere is lively yet intimate, with beautiful decor that instantly transports you to Tokyo. The menu is full of flavorful small plates, fresh sashimi, grilled, & unique cocktails. Every dish is crafted with care & presented beautifully. The staff are welcoming & knowledgeable, always ready to recommend the perfect pairing. A perfect spot for a night out with friends or a casual dinner date. Can't wait to go back!View more

The shrimp tempura was delicious, but that was the only menu item that I found to be excellent.
The Tako Wasabi was spicy, definitely cleared the sinuses with its strong wasabi flavor but I found it to be way too salty.
The Chicken Katsu was very disappointing. The chicken was somehow very dry & didn't taste like much, & the Japanese curry was mild as well.
The Angel's Tears cocktail was yummy. But it straight up just tasted like aloe vera juice with a dash of alcohol.
The cherry blossom decor in one part of the restaurant is beautiful.
Definitely bar-type lighting. I wouldn't recommend this place for a romantic dinner.
They didn't have physical menus available. Only QR code menus.View more

I had a great time ! Kyodai is honestly a hidden gem with authentic Japanese dishes & a warm ambiance. The sashimi was fresh, & my favorite dishes were the calamari & I believe fried purple sweet potatoes.
Also, both servers were adorable the entire night. I definitely recommend the placeView more

Great hangout spot with amazing vibes! The service is amazing, & the decor resembles the japanese izakaya alleys. The food is good & affordable, & the menu has a ton of variety so there's something for everyone. I recommend the engawa tataki, the kitsune udon, & the curry rice bowls. Disclaimer: my meal was comped, all opinions are my own.View more

After the relaunch
I was super happy to hear that Tempura Kyodai is back after closing for a while with a change in the management (apparently?). So I went with my family for a Saturday dinner. Honestly, we were disappointed.
First, the menu shrank by a lot. In the main dishes, all the rice bowls disappeared leaving only the hot udons & the curry rice. There are a lot of appeatizers (tapas style). With an increase in the prices too.
For the food, it's not as good as before. It's ok, I can eat it but I can go anywhere for this generic taste. The ebi tempuras were my favorite so I ordered them again, it was my biggest disappointment. Sure, it was crunchy but so oily. There is not this elegance that was previously in the dishes.
Plus, as there were customers, the cooks in the kitchen kept bashing, I suppose the chicken or pork, for almost 30 minutes...
Anyways, tempura kyodai is not what it once was.

Before the relaunch (pictures from then)
Tempura Kyodai is a cute restaurant with great atmosphere & excellent food & service.
Let's start with their specialty, the tempuras. They were excellent. I truly recommend the Ebi tendon which is a bowl of tempura featuring fried shrimps & veggies on rice.
The soft shelled crab curry is up there too. It's the best Japanese curry I have eaten. It's not too sweet & the spices is pronounced enough.
Then, there is the Soba. It's a simple dish, but it's done right. It's very elegant & light, perfect for summer time. The flavours are really balanced here.
The last but not least, the mackerel udon. During winter, who can resist it? The broth is light but so complex. The udon are thin but chewy. & the grilled mackerel complement it well.
Other than main dishes, they have appetizers & specials of the day. Like the Ebi tempura or the monk fish liver. All are delicious.
Overall, Tempura Kyodai deserve their name. Everything was delicious & it's not expensive. You get a huge main for around 20$ or less.
We will be coming back for sure!View more
