Toyo Grillades à la Japonaise is described as a lively and welcoming spot where the food is generally good to very good and the on table cooking show adds a fun, family friendly vibe. Beef menus and filet mignon are praised for tenderness, with a standout salad dressing and other dishes like shrimp earning positive notes. The atmosphere and service receive broad praise, with accommodations for large groups and families and staff described as pleasant and helpful even during busy times. It is seen as a great place for gatherings and a fun experience for both kids and adults, though some reviews note that the price can be high for the value and that the overall quality could be more consistent. The cooking show remains engaging but is not as robust as in the past, and there are occasional remarks about the chef's humor feeling questionable or remarks that seemed inappropriate; nevertheless the chefs can entertain when patrons are respectful. Repeat visits and plans to return are common thanks to reliable meals, with steak and filet mignon often highlighted as standout items and service staying good even near closing times.
Great food & great service. The hosts dry humor is my cup of tea & the cook was fantastic & fun. All in all a great experience! Will definitely come back ❤?
Our large hockey team went to this restaurant & the owner Nam was extremely accommodating & beyond lovely to deal with! The kids had a great time as well as the adults. Food was very good. Highly recommend

The food is good enough but it's nothing spectacular. The vibe however, is immaculate & fun & full of wonder & laughter. Fun for the whole family, bring your kids.
Have been dining there for either group/work lunches/celebrations or dinners with my husband for at least 30 years, most recently tonight. As with the way of the world, things have evolved but we have never had a bad meal or experience. My Fillet Mignon always tender & my husband's shrimp perfectly done as well as all the extras. The'show' isn't as robust as it was 30 years ago but the chef's are very engaging &, when you are respectful, they can put a smile on your face. The gentelman taking the orders is so pleasant as well as the bus man. Maybe you have to wait a bit for part on the cooking table to fill but maybe if you revisit your patronage more often that won't be a problem!? Don't let another great restaurant in Montreal disappear.
Atmosphere is always great there, makes for nice gatherings. Food was good, as expected. However, could be a bit improved considering the price range. Was my second tome there, will go again.
C'était correct mais pour le prix de la facture là qualité des aliments n'est pas à la hauteur. Commander queue de homard & il te servent de la langouste presque haché sur la plaque. Le but des tappenyaki est d'avoir un spectacle des cuisinier mais non ça l'air fini se temps là
Ce restaurant a beaucoup perdu en qualité. Étant client depuis plusieurs années, je constate que ce n'est plus mangeable! La qualité de la viande a considérablement baissé : autant le poulet que le steak sont devenus gras & remplis de nerfs. En les faisant cuire, on voyait clairement qu'ils étaient de mauvaise qualité.
Ma conjointe & moi avons dû recracher plusieurs morceaux de nerfs à trois ou quatre reprises, ce qui est inacceptable. Pour une facture de 200 $, ça ne vaut absolument pas la peine. Allez ailleurs, il y a bien mieux!
