Kyodai Izakaya delivers authentic Japanese pub dining with a warm, immersive atmosphere and a welcoming, energetic crowd. The menu spans ramen, curry, tempura, gyoza, takoyaki and sashimi, with crowd favorites like duck tataki, karaage and udon drawing frequent praise. Sake, cocktails and warm house sake complement the dishes, while the service is consistently friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. The decor and vibe recall a traditional izakaya, making it a great option for groups, friends or a casual night out. Reservations are helpful on busy nights as the place can get lively, yet staff keep things moving smoothly. A few items may be smaller or pricier, but the overall quality, flavor and memorable experience leave guests eager to return.
The vibes? Immaculate. The music? Banging. Eddie? The best. So much fun on my birthday trip to Montreal. Highly recommend the mackerel & the Mt. Fuji cocktail. If Google gave me 6 stars, Kyodai Izakaya would get 6 stars

C'est la deuxième fois que je vais à ce restaurant. L'ambiance est feutrée, l'endroit est bien décoré & a un charme typique. Certains détails sont pensés pour rendre l'expérience authentique, du genre choisir le gobelet pour le saké.
La nourriture est très bonne, mentions spéciales au tataki de canard & aux crevettes tempura.
Le service était efficace.
Bref, je recommande!
Kyodai Izakaya is hands down one of the best spots in Montreal for an authentic Japanese pub experience. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere takes you to a trip in japan, perfect for a night out with friends or a fun date.
The food is incredible, everything was seasoned to perfection & served hot.
The service was fast & friendly, making sure our drinks were never empty. If you're looking for great vibes & even better food in the city, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!
An incredible experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely extraordinary - fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. Every dish was perfectly executed.
The staff was attentive & professional throughout the evening. A special shout-out to our server Jason, who was fantastic - friendly, efficient, & very attentive. He truly made our night even better.
Highly recommend - we will definitely be coming back! 👌🔥
We had a great experience at this Japanese restaurant. We were a group of five & the atmosphere was really nice. We enjoyed sake served in the traditional Japanese style, which made the experience feel even more authentic. We also ordered noodles & the classic curry, & everything was absolutely delicious.
The restaurant was quite busy, so service can take a little longer. Plan to spend at least two hours there. If you have another event afterward, make sure to schedule it at least three hours later so you can fully enjoy your meal without feeling rushed.
Aside from that, this place is a must-try. Highly recommended.

La nourriture & le pairing de saké étaient superbes ! Merci beaucoup pour les recommandations ! Nous avons même eu droit à un horoscope en fonction de notre choix de verre de saké, une très belle expérience 🍶

Kyodai Izakaya is a restaurant/bar near the Atwater Subway Station that is Izakaya-style. That alone sets it apart from most Japanese restaurants you find in Montreal: sushi & ramen being the two typical offerings.
I thoroughly enjoy visiting that restaurant, I have been multiple times. The waiters & waitresses are all very friendly & the food is very good. I particularly enjoy the Tempura Combo Set, which is hard to come by on the island of Montreal.
I thoroughly recommend going: perfect for a solo traveler looking to play retro Nintendo games (yay Switch 2), or perfect to go as a group also! I only wish they were open for lunch hour as well.
Hate to say I was disappointed, but there are several better Japanese options in Montreal at this price point.
Lovely atmosphere & friendly, albeit slower service. Overall pleasant experience, but I unfortunately cannot recommend the food.
The appetizers were mediocre; the octopus balls were quite chewy. We ordered the black garlic ramen & the tantan ramen. I found the broth to be not as flavourful as I hoped, & the portion to be small. Incredibly steep price for only one thin sliver of pork & half an egg.

Un tresort du Japon au centre ville de Montréal !
Super repas , ramen tantan bon gout , pas salé, pas trop piquant , je voulais une portion un tout petit peu plus grande mais sinon c'était bon .
Les takoyaki sont importé de osaka, ils étaient bon aussi
& mes préféré les Dango ! Par contre ne les trompé pas dans la sauce , pas tres bonne a mon goût assez amère alors mangé les dango sans les trempé cest délicieux une vrai merveille !
Edy le serveur TOP tres gentil & serviable ! A l'écoute & donne de bonne recommandation!
Aussi le resto offre des petite cartes de fidélité a faire étampé a chaque visite pour gagner des petit prix. Je reviendrai cest sur ! Ils ont aussi des udon !
An absolute gem of a restaurant. Everything was phenomenal from the food, to the service & the vibes that were made with our amazing server. Great value & I highly recommend. Accidently stumbled into this place & couldn't be happier.
First time here & I absolutely love it !!! The space is nice to come with your friennds & or family to drinks/cocktails & the FOOOD absolutely delicious! We left satisfied with the amount of food given & the attention to details! I highly recommend the tempura as well as the ramen with karaage + chicken katsu
We came in unannounced with only 30 minutes, & we got a delicious meal worth writing a review over. Amazing service, good food. I recommend the tempura.
