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

Excellent cocktails & food. Great vibe, super friendly & efficient staff. Love this place, it's one of my regular spots. I eat much more than normally when I come here!
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 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.
This place embodies Japanese theme bar perfectly. The manager was very cool. They have plum wine from the Kansai region! That's so hard to find. Good music & good vibes. This is a gem in the rough.
Love the vibe in this place. They serve delicious Japanese dishes that you'll surely love. People are so nice & the place is well decorated. You'll feel transported to Japan! Will definitely go back.

Truly disappointed. Don't let you fool by the 4.6 rating. Excellent service, but food is just to avoid. Go there for the drink & vibe. We took 3 items to eat & they were all bad- sorry- will never come back.
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
it's my first time visiting kyodai. the vibe was amazing & the food was delicious. i need to highlight the service too! our server Jessica was so lovely & patient. she enhanced our experience at the restaurant. thank you Jessica! will come back
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.

I only ate the main dishes & they were OK. But the SERVICE. MAN THE SERVICES WAS FIRE. THAT MAN KNEW HIS CITIES. great guy! Also the aesthetic is amazing. ( Photos attached). If you want a place to chill & drink with friends I would go here for the vibes. P.S park at the movie theatre.
The food was amazing, exceptional service & will be more than happy to come back on our next visit to Montreal.
The vibe of the place is welcoming & the staff are very friendly, I highly recommend 👌
