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.
Had an amazing time with a friend. The sweetest Edie was incredible in his service, recommended me a lychee cocktail that it tasted like heaven. Food was fresh & very flavourful. Can't wait to come back!

We had dinner there last night.
The waiter was very helpful to pick out the best entrees to share. All was delicious.
The drinks were also very good.
Highly recommended
J'ai eu le plaisir de me faire recommender ce restaurant pour célébrer mon anniversaire, & je dois avouer que je ne suis pas déçue !
La réservation en ligne était simple & rapide. En arrivant sur place, le serveur nous a dit que l'équipe était réduite & nous a donc prévenu qu'il était possible qu'il y ai de petits délais sur l'arrivée de nos commandes.
Malgré tout, le service a été rapide & génial! Nous avons eu des recommandations & même les coups de coeur de notre serveur, si nous ne savions pas quoi choisir.
La nourriture était fraîche, chaude & ma fois savoureuse à souhait ! Pleins d'assaisonnements accompagnaient chaque repas.
L'ambiance était cozy & calme.
Un grand merci à toute l'équipe, c'est certain que je reviens bientôt!
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 dishes

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.
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.
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!
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.
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 place
Kyodai Izakaya is a fantastic spot with delicious, authentic Japanese dishes & a cozy atmosphere. The staff is friendly & attentive, making every visit enjoyable. Highly recommend!
