Kyodai Izakaya offers an authentic Japanese pub vibe with a cozy, lively atmosphere where fresh, flavorful small plates like takoyaki, gyoza, karaage, tataki, ramen and udon are served hot and nicely presented, paired with a varied sake and cocktail menu. The service is consistently friendly and attentive, helping guests feel at home and making meals feel special whether for a casual night out or celebration. The space, decor and music contribute to a welcoming character that many describe as transporting to Japan, while the menu delivers strong favorites and occasional standout dishes such as unagi udon, duck tataki and curry katsu. In short, Kyodai Izakaya is a dependable go-to for tasty Japanese tapas, great drinks and a memorable, convivial dining experience.
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
Literally a perfect first introduction to Japanese food.
Went here while on a road trip visiting Quebec since I'm from Ontario & can say that this place will be a visit in all my trips to Montreal (favourite city in the world) in the future.
The staff are great, the food is great, snd the place is clean & aesthetic.
The only thing I will say is that during my visit the place was rather hot (could've been from a broken a/c or something)

First, the waitresses were amazing! Very friendly & patient. Couldn't get my darn scanner to work & the girls were a big help. The food? Well, just perfect as far as I'm concerned. I know ramens, & the Tonkotsu ramen I had was ON POINT. I couldn't get enough of the broth. Chapeau au chef! My son had the beef tataki with rice on the side. Can you say'tender'! Simply melts in your mouth. & that sauce...Yeah, I had to try some. It was worth every penny spent. Loved it & will definitely go back. Spread the word, baby!
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
One of the nicest & coolest places I've been to. The decor / ambiance is beautiful & the service is very quick & professional. Not to mention how amazing the food tastes. 10/10
J'ai rarement été aussi impressionné par un plat de curry tonkatsu. Dès la première bouchée, c'est une explosion de saveurs : le porc est parfaitement pané, croustillant à souhait, & la sauce curry… wow. Incroyablement crémeuse, riche, bien équilibrée entre les épices douces & une profondeur umami remarquable. On sent que tout est fait avec soin & passion.
Les portions sont généreuses, la présentation soignée, & le riz parfaitement cuit. Un vrai plat réconfortant, exécuté à la perfection. Si vous êtes amateur de curry japonais, ce resto est tout simplement un passage obligé. J'y retournerai, encore & encore !

Very disappointed. I took the tonkatsu & it was a super thin slice of pork that got overcooked to dryness with thin fluffless breading. It had no flavors & the sauce was probably a commercial tonkatsu sauce or so basic it tasted like it. The slaw was drenched in excessive amount of not great mayo sauce. The service was barely acceptable nothing more. The best thing on the plate was the white rice & even then it was fine, nothing more. So disappointed, won't be back.
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.
Great izakaya place close to the Forum. Went there for a movie night & I enjoyed some takoyaki & had ramen, which were really good. The ambience is awesome, properly themed after Japanese izakaya & playing non-stop city pop & 80/90s anime theme songs. Will definitely go there again.
