CRUNCH CRUNCH !

Le meilleur panko de Montréal - ou, à tout le moins, de la rue Saint-Denis - se trouve chez Sato. La charmante propriétaire vous accueille avec un sourire sincère & vous gâte par sa gentillesse. Les assiettes sont aussi belles que délicieuses, soigneusement présentées & pleines de saveurs.

L'endroit a quelque chose de presque mystique : une ambiance unique, chaleureuse & mémorable. Même les toilettes débordent de personnalité ! Une adresse aussi originale que savoureuse, où l'on a envie de revenir encore & encore.

Nous avons passé un moment très agréable grâce à l'atmosphère chaleureuse & un bon service. Côté assiette, l'expérience a été un peu plus mitigée. La sauce du karaage manquait de relief & de saveur, le calmar était dure & élastique sous la dent & l'assaisonnement du ramen tonkotsu était malheureusement trop chargé en sel, ce qui masquait la rondeur du plat. Bon accueil & bel endroit, mais les déceptions dans l'assiette font que je ne renouvellerai pas l'expérience.
