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.
Great atmosphere, good food & to top it all off cute waitresses. In all seriousness, the price of the alcohol was decent my friend & I shared the Pitcher soju combo, & had the Katsu along with a few appetizers. Everything was tasty & prepared well. No complaints here will be going again soon.
Offrez-vous un dango!! 🍡🍡🍡 & le saké!! La nourriture est excellente, je me suis beaucoup amusé avec mon groupe d'amis ici. Le personnel était sympathique & arrangeant! Il est facile de dépenser beaucoup d'argent ici, mais c'est comme ça que c'est à n'importe quel Izakaya qui en vaut la peine. Très bon!

Been there for a birthday, service was great, the staff was friendly! I did feel like I was back in Japan. Food was delicious, nothing bad to say, I will come back. We tried different tapas & cocktails, everything was very tasty.
I was truly impressed by this restaurant-bar! It's great for solo dining & groups & the prices are very reasonable for the portions. I really felt like I was in Japan… the food is that good! ❤? The staff was friendly & always made sure we were comfortable! Ask for their recommendations & you'll be in for a treat!
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 had an incredible time with my girl friend!! we dined , had some cocktails (highlight of the night: order the MOUNT FUJI !! the cocktail comes with a show 😊) we really enjoyed their tapas (takoyaki , tempura, etc) & main dishes! the staff was so nice & let us take our time to eat & chill 🤤
Meilleurs restaurants fait au canada, le service est excellent, la décoration nous plonge directement au Japon. Mention spécial pour les takoyaki & les tempura.
