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.
Dishes are great, tastes good & nice presentation, & the portion size is on the smaller side. Amazing atmosphere & really chill service by Eddy & all staffs!

Authentic Japanese flavors & incredibly warm service! The tempura shrimp here is a must-try ; each piece is literally the size of a hand & perfectly crispy without being greasy. All the dishes tasted fresh & genuine, & the staff made the experience even better with their friendliness & attention. A great place to chill & meet friends!
Great atmosphere, cocktails are fun, food is quite good, prices are slightly high but understandably. Every guest I've brought here has been satisfied. They also make sure to check my service dog's proof of training every single time I visit, so I feel safe & grateful that there will never be any pet dogs here!
A solid 3.8/5 . Would be higher if every dish was on par but some were really there specialty & others are alright but a bit pricy & lackluster compaired to those that specialise in those items... (like a sea food restaurant for thise dishes or a ramen place for those... etc.). Quality was a solid 4/5 for the most parts. Quantity wasn't for all dishes . BUT if you ask them there specialty & popular dishes they were a solid 4/5 . But I rate as a overall place. So taking consideration of all of the above it lost a tiny bit from the 4/5. Still a decent experience for this little place.
Was there last night & I absolutely loved my experience. Food was really good & the staff were all amazing. Spicy ramen tantan is a must. Shoutout to Eddie!

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.
The atmosphere here is so immersive & cool! Our server Eddie was so knowledgeable, personable, & kind! The food was so good & authentic too! We had the okonomiyaki, karagge, & unagi rice bowl. Cocktails looked so amazing & were so hard to choose from! Would definitely come back
Excellent atmosphere! The bar tender was extremely friendly & clearly enjoys his craft. The other wait staff were also friendly & accommodating. The food was delicious & fit perfectly with the experience. We will definitely make this our go-to bar when we are in town 😊
