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.
Delicious food, but damn slow service. Better try it via UberEats perhaps? - Only four people in the terrasse yet still half an hour for the food to materialize. 🐌

Definitely a cute spot for date night! It is on the pricier side, but the quality & effort placed behind all of it is definitely worth it. We tried an array of things & loved all of it! My only complaint is the actual dining area. It's super small. The tables are also quite small which makes you feel slightly uncomfortable. The table beside us had their bottle of wine in an ice bucket on the floor. It took some getting use to, & we made it work. You also need to climb up a narrow outdoor stair case which I think should be stayed to allow those with less accessibility. Overall, I would likely come back for some takeout items!
Très bon service pour la fête de mon copain. La présentation de la nourriture était très belle & les plats étaient délicieux ! Leur sushis hot-dog au saumon épicé avec des morceaux crunchy était vraiment succulent, mais les 2 autres trucs que nous avons commandé étaient bons aussi ! Le service était super sympathique & poli.
From the outside it looks like a cute little takeout place, but on the second floor, there's a cozy dinning room & bar! The food was delicious & recipes were so unique. We tried several items on the menu & finished off with dessert. The service was excellent & we had such a great date out of the experience. This place had parking up which was an added plus in our books & it was easy to reserve online, but there was enough space that we could have skipped reserving ahead of time. They have a takeout counter downstairs & an outside terrace too. This is definitely a hidden gem in my opinion!
Amazing food, art in each plate. Very weird to find the place though … the waitress should be more relax & smiling…I recommend this place, We will go back !
The experience feels exclusive, you enter misguidedly on to the second floor. The decor really makes you feel like you found an hiden gem. The sushi hotdogs were by far the greatest thing on the menu. The options of sake range multiple choices to satisfy everyone. Sorry about the mess. Must try!
It was super delicious! Try taking alot of things on the menu & sharing! the affogato au matcha wow ✨?💚 super nice staff & even the merch is nice & not expensive to suport! Will go back for sure!

Première visite, c était une belle découverte avec une très bonne cuisine, n oubliez pas de prendre des glaces vous aller vous délecter.
Nous allons y retourner.
La nourriture était tout à fait délicieuse! Par contre, les plats sont arrivés trop rapidement compte tenu de la taille des tables. Certains convives se sont sentis pressés de manger. Aussi, la luminosité est très faible & la musique un peu trop forte. Nous avons passé une très belle soirée malgré ces petits points négatifs!
L'endroit est très sympa & cosy, un endroit très facilement instagramable.
On a pris 3 variétés de repas, je peut vous dire que les sushi on rien de différent ni d'extrat, j'en est goûter des meilleure.
La personne qui nous a servie était très gentil & a l'ecoute, mais le service était très long. Un samedi soir on a attendu plus de 20 min.
Digne d'un food truck: Bon mais les portions sont ridiculement petites. Ils n'affichent aucun breuvage à moins de 9$, il faut deviner qu'ils sont sur le menu en ligne seulement... Bref 45$ pour des portions dégustation, c'est non. (& 7$ pour une crème glacée molle vanille? Really???)
