Le Château Maneki is described as a tiny, intimate spot with a speakeasy vibe upstairs, where the atmosphere is warm, charming and often noted as Instagrammable; the menu is praised for freshness and creativity, featuring pressed sushi, sushi dogs, tartare and other inventive dishes, paired with standout cocktails and mocktails that many reviewers loved. Staff are frequently highlighted as friendly and attentive, contributing to memorable date nights or gatherings, but several comments point to drawbacks such as very small seating areas, stairs at the entrance, occasional slow or uneven service, and prices that some feel are high for the portion sizes. Despite these caveats, many reviewers call it a hidden gem worth visiting to experience the unique concept, plan to return, and appreciate the overall experience and the emphasis on presentation and flavor.
The place is simply beautiful, with a wonderful atmosphere. The service was perfect from beginning to end, & the food was extremely delicious. I would also like to give a special thanks to Darey, who made the BEST Licor 43 drink. It was an incredible experience, & I will definitely be coming back!! (Obs: Don't leave without trying the matcha tiramisu!!)
Had such a great night here with friends! It was our friend's birthday & the staff was so great & thoughtful! Amazing playlist & staff, definitely will come back:) Would recommend 100%! Drinks were so good & so was the food!

Endroit très charmant avec une bonne ambiance.sachez par contre que c'est très petit. On a décidé de prendre le menu pour deux, ce qui nous a permit d'essayer plusieurs plats. J'ai franchement tout aimé. Le barman était super aussi. Bon drink, bon vibe
Nice place, but a bit expensive for the quantity of food served. I expected it to be bigger, but the space is rather small with limited seating. The ambiance is great for drinks, but I wouldn't recommend it if you're very hungry.
Nous sommes allées manger un vendredi à 14h. Parfait moment pour ne pas qu'il y ait trop de monde. La salle à manger est petite mais très accueillante. Pour les sushis, ce sont les meilleurs que nous avons mangés de notre vie. Les saveurs étaient parfaite, surtout celui au Wasabi. Nous avons également pris 2 drinks. L'espresso martini était parfait! Merci pour ce bel accueil, nous reviendrons assurément.

My boyfriend & I used to love this restaurant & would come get food from here every once in a while. However, after today's experience, I don't think it'll be the case anymore. First, we had to wait about 35 minutes for a pick up order. But, that's okay; I guess the restaurant was busy today, which is understandable. What I really disliked is the fact that their drinks cost 9$, & when we asked to have less ice in ours because of the temperature, which was incredibly cold, the cashier told us that the glass would come half empty. I then proceeded to ask if they couldn't just add more juice the drink to which they replied that the volume of each drink were pre-calculated & that she couldn't do that. So basically, whenever you're spending 9$ on a drink from this restaurant, half of your money is going into some cubes of ice & you're actually just paying for a few sips of liquid. Isn't that great ? I'll just get my drink from Starbucks next time.
L'endroit est trop trop petit, il y a quelques tables dans l'équivalent d'un studio. La nourriture était pas mal, portions quand même petites & pas assez de poisson, beaucoup de riz & de sauce. Le tiramisu à la matcha est excellent, mais il n'est pas fait maison, ça vient dans un petit bol en plastique. Les drinks étaient bons. Le serveur était gentil. Une expérience ordinaire & un peu décevante.
My first impression was « wow that's so cute ! » . Then I got disappointed. We ordered just 1 drink & 1 ice cream & it took too much time. & there wasn't a line . Then there was a strange smell, like expired fruits all around & we were outside . We couldn't stay . We had pinnaple juice & matcha ice-cream . I wasn't impressed . Yes presentation is cute , it's a clean place but it wasn't that good . The matcha ice cream wasn't it . & the pinnaple juice had an aftertaste .
Get ready for an absolutely incredible treat! We had a night of absolutely delicious Asian food, with some heavenly matcha tiramasu, & seriously cool drinks in frog mugs :)
This place is a total gem! Their menu is packed with amazing options like sushi, poke, tartare, & so much more, plus they have an insane collection of drinks to try. & honestly, the restaurant itself is just so inviting - the vibe is awesome & the people are incredibly welcoming.
Tout était incroyable, les plats étaient super bons. Notre serveuse a pris le temps de bien détailler les plats ainsi que les drinks.
Date night réussie, nous y retournerons c'est certain!

Such a cute & intimate place! Drinks are lovely, mocktails in those animals glasses are fun, the sushis & maneki dogs are really good! I recommend the sake truffle sushi highly 🥰
The drinks were amazing, unique takes on classics. The food was great & again felt very unique. The staff was lovely & even gave our friend a gift because it was her bday!
Food & drink are very very good & the people serving us are super nice but the dining room is very small & it's SO expensive 🫠 18$ for a drink so small that i finished in two sips is a bit overkill 😅 portions are small.
The staff is sweet & friendly. The atmosphere feels very cozy. The food & the drinks were amazing. The food tastes really fresh. I will have to come back during summer for their ice cream!
