If you ever need a guaranteed hangover cure, this is the place. I came in desperate for something warm & hearty, & the chicken curry delivered 100%. Rich flavor, amazing portion size, & it hit the spot so hard it practically brought me back to life. 10/10 comfort food, I'll definitely be back!

Very good food! I got the chicken curry, it was super tasty! The chicken was crispy & moist on the inside & the curry was delicious. Good portion I think for the price. Not sure why it has a 3.9 rating, I think it should be higher!

I had pork katsu curry & takoyaki. They were authentic, very tasty & reasonably priced. I'll definitely go back & try other things. I did a takeout so I don't know about dining experience.

We eat a lot of asian food but this place really stood out - especially the curry sauce was amazing. We also really thought the music fit the place really well. The food was served very fast & the price was very fair. Honestly nothing negative to say!

EXQUISITE!
This was an absolutely exquisite experience from start to finish. I ordered the curry pork & takoyaki, my mom had the tonkatsu, & every dish was unbelievably delicious - deeply flavorful, perfectly balanced, & cooked to perfection. Every bite was rich, comforting, & incredibly satisfying.

The food arrived impressively fast, yet the quality never felt rushed. You can truly taste the care, precision, & passion in the cooking. The service was just as outstanding: warm, attentive, & genuinely welcoming, making the entire experience even more enjoyable.

From the incredible taste & beautiful presentation to the efficiency & hospitality, everything was flawless. We loved every single bite & left completely impressed. I'm honestly just sad I don't live in Montreal - I would be here all the time!

DELICIOUS. Congratulations on such amazing food & service.

With love from Costa Rica 🇨🇷

Authentic tasting Japanese home favorites including donburi & curry. I don't have any complaints about the food & experience as well as the value, my only recommendation is to put the takoyaki on a plate instead of bowl so they dont get soggy on the bottom ;) thanks for the katsu & oyakodon!
