About

Guests grill marinated meats, such as bulgogi or galbi, alongside fresh seafood and seasonal vegetables directly at their tables. The menu features a diverse selection of traditional side dishes and prepared entrees that reflect classic flavor profiles from both cultures. Minimalist decor creates a focused environment designed specifically to highlight the interactive nature of the cooking process. A strong emphasis on raw ingredient quality ensures that every sear and seasoning remains consistent with traditional preparation methods. This establishment serves as a dedicated destination for individuals seeking a collaborative meal centered around the heat of the grill and the depth of fermented spices.

Good food, ordered the poulet katsu & it was actually filling with the portions & since you also get the miso soup beforehand.
Miso soup aint my thing but still good.
Service is quick & proactive despite there have been one server this evening.
Nothing bad to say, would gladly come back.

If I tried Japanese food for the first time here, I would never eat Japanese cuisine again.
The place says Japanese & Korean food but it has really limited items selection.

Quelle belle découverte sur le boulevard Saint-Laurent! Nous avons passé un moment délicieux dans cet établissement où chaque plat est présenté avec un soin remarquable.

Le ragoût servi dans son bol en pierre noire était absolument savoureux & riche en saveurs. J'ai aussi beaucoup apprécié la fraîcheur des accompagnements, notamment les tranches de pomme & la salade qui complétaient parfaitement le repas. C'est un endroit chaleureux où l'on se sent bien accueilli, & j'y retournerai sans hésiter très prochainement.
