As good as Japan, everything is so tasty. A gem in Montreal

A total gem! This spot is cute, traditional, & high-quality. Because it's a cozy space, it fills up almost instantly-I highly recommend arriving at least 5 minutes before they open to secure a table.'

Que dire de ce hidden gem! Simpliste, mais à la fois pensé, élégant & épuré. Un brin petit, mais c'est ce qui donne le charisme à l'endroit.
