We made our reservation over two months ago & were really looking forward to trying this restaurant after hearing so much about it. Unfortunately, while the experience wasn't terrible, it was somewhat disappointing for us overall.
I'm giving 3 stars mainly for the excellent service, the beautiful decor, & a few menu items that we genuinely enjoyed. The shrimp tempura was outstanding-light, crisp, & not greasy at all. The sweet potato tempura was equally good. We also enjoyed the peanut butter dumplings & the torched salmon with foie gras sushi.
That said, many of the other dishes didn't live up to our expectations. The beef tataki was decent, but the salmon tataki was not to our taste. The sushi, overall, felt fairly ordinary & underwhelming given the restaurant's reputation & the difficulty of getting a reservation.
The grilled skewers were particularly disappointing. The two shrimp skewers we tried were bland, but they were not the biggest issue. The lamb skewer was almost inedible for us, it was nearly raw in the center & consisted mostly of fat. The beef skewer lacked flavor, & the chicken skewer was extremely dry & tough. We ended up leaving much of that portion of the meal unfinished, which was disappointing considering how much we had been looking forward to the experience.
One thing that significantly impacted our evening was how cold it was inside the restaurant. We mentioned it to our waiter, who was very kind & apologetic, but explained that there wasn't much they could do because of the way the ventilation system is set up above certain tables. By the end of the meal, we were genuinely uncomfortable & left feeling frozen. Even raising the temperature by a degree or two would likely make a big difference for guests seated in those areas.
Overall, there were definitely some highlights, but unfortunately not enough for us to return or recommend to our friends.
Ce restaurent à une ambiance japonais animée,les portions de nourriture était parfaite & très bon en goût ont peut goûter chaque ingrédient & un de mes préférer takoyaki ont peut goûter le bois caramélisé, le service est plus que parfait ont est traiter avec respect, ont peut voir qu'ils sont présent & au service des client, je vous le recommande.
A little taste of Japan in Downtown Montreal. The atmosphere is tailored to most geeks out there. The food was delicious, I tried the BBQ section if this restaurant. From the giant wall screen to all the other displays all around the room. Robot going around & the automated ordering & food delivery makes it almost surreal. Great place to go with friends, socialize & have all you can eat. Staff is friendly. Highly recommend.

Expérience INCROYABLE! Mes attentes ont été largement dépassées! J'y suis allée avec mon mari pour notre anniversaire de mariage & ce fut la destination parfaite!
Le service, la nourriture, l'ambiance, tout est 10/10. 🍣✨
Je recommande fortement, c'est une expérience unique à vivre!
Expérience très agréable du début à la fin
Nous avons passé notre commande sur la tablette & la nourriture est arrivée très vite. Plusieurs choix de viandes, fruits de mer & accompagnements. C'est amusant de recevoir nos commandes par le robot ! Le restaurant est très beau, nous y sommes allés de jour, la nuit l'atmosphère doit être différente était donné tous les écrans dans la salle à manger. Je recommande l'endroit !
Nous avons été dans l'espace sushi cadre superbe ambiance immersive. La nourriture fut bonne après on aurait aimé plus de diversité. Malgré cela nous recommandons d'y aller.
Wow, je ne prendrais pas beaucoup de votre temps mais TOUT est excellent, sur internet ça affichait complet nous ne pouvions pas réserver mais sachez qu'il y a toujours des places pour les personnes qui n'ont pas réservés (les walk-in) comme me disais une employée...
De l'accueil, en passant par la salle de bain, tout, absolument tout est nickel, rince bouche & crème à main gratuite dans les salles de bains, tout est TRÈS propre, les plats excellent, la clientèle est juste belle, les services sont très rapides... Les membres du personnel est beau, gentil & super à l'écoute, vraiment une place à découvrir...
300$ taxe incluses pour une famille de 4.
NOUS RECOMMANDONS REELEMENT L'EXPERIENCE...
Nous étions en haut mais en bas il y a aussi des grill sur les tables un peu comme les bbq Koréens.
Bravo à tous & merci pour l'expérience, nous aurions pas pu demander mieux.
