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.
This is the most overhyped restaurant I've ever seen. If overhyped was a person it would be maneki. I'm so disappointed, it's literally a temu restaurant guys! The portions are ridiculously small like disgusting small. The service is horrible, I went for my birthday & that lady was so rude from the beginning. THE FOOD IS YUCKY, TASTELESS we took many dishes & everything was so blend you only taste jalapenos. Just save your money guys & go get real sushi's
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.
Such a cute little spot. I definitely will be coming back in the summer. Food was amazing, matcha was 10/10. The server was so nice & explained the entire menu.
La place manque tellement le resto attire du monde. La bouffe est superbe mais le vrai attrait de cette place est un secret de polichinelle: le petit bar à l'étage. Les cocktails sont divins, élaboré par un artiste digne des meilleurs bars. Les slush sont un incontournable
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.
La nourriture de haute qualité était tout simplement exquise & le service chaleureux & exceptionnel. Ambiance cozy & fun. Un merci tout particulier à Dairy, Noémie & Alfredo, qui ont rendu notre expérience agréable.

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.

Super service, le personnel est aimable & rapide. La nourriture est de qualité , c'est différent & très savoureux. Cet endroit mérite d'être plus grand. Mon seul point négatif c'est les chaises & les tables petite , pas très confortable, mais vu que c'est petit je crois qu'ils ont pas eu le choix. Je recommande & j'y retrouverais sans hésité ! J'ai bu les deux meilleurs matcha de ma vie , celui à la mangue & celui au fraise.
Restaurant incroyable! L'originalité, les saveurs réfléchies, les magnifiques présentations, le goût incroyable, le personnel accueillant, l'ambiance cozy avec de la bonne musique! Un must à Montréal ❤?❤?❤? Leur menu à partager à 2 est parfait & complet!
I decided to come here with my twin after seeing all of the reviews i'd seen online & it was overwhelming. We get upstairs & we're stuffed into a 1x1 room with other people waiting. We overheard the people in front of us say that they had been waiting for more than an hour & a half. Anyways, not my circus not my monkeys... personally, we didn't get greeted from staff until much later but when we did we got sat down immediately so that was good(we had a reservation). The atmosphere was too much. Mama, if I wanted to go to the club, i'd go. They were blasting a tiktok thirst trap playlist the whole night, me & twin had to shout to hear each other. However, the interior design was very beautiful. The food was nothing special. We didn't go there planning to eat till we threw up, so we only took a couple of items. The maneki dog was for sure my favourite & twin liked the donburi rice(but still incredibly far from being the best thing we've tasted). The classic maneki was good but let's be so for real there was probably 0.1g of salmon in that. It just looked like spicy mayo on rice & that's also what it tasted like ( I didn't think it was bad). Overall, the food was not bad but for that price MAMA WHAT ? Staff were nice, give them a raise. They were being hostess, waiter & barman the whole night. I didn't really enjoy my time there but clearly a lot of people enjoy it.
