Overall, Ukiya Izakaya comes across as an affordable and cozy Japanese tapas spot with a strong emphasis on all-you-can-eat options and cocktails, and many diners praise generous portions and good value for the price. The menu earns praise for flavorful bites such as ramen, grilled beef short rib, and various fried items, with several dishes highlighted as standouts while others note occasional inconsistencies and a desire for more variety or vegetable options. Service is frequently described as friendly and efficient, though a few reviews mention slower or colder service during busy times or gaps such as infrequent water refills. The atmosphere is welcoming and modern, making Ukiya Izakaya a good pick for groups or dates, especially for happy hour and the all-you-can-eat deal, though some would like broader menu variety and clearer portions. Overall, it remains a dependable choice for value and flavor with a lively drinks scene, and return visits are common.
Le restaurant est sympa. Le service est impeccable. La nourriture est bonne. Mais avoir nos plats a dû prendre 35-45' min ce soir 🫣 Un peu long mettons 😅

ThAnd snow my kind of Japanese restaurant- no sushi at n the menu! Sure they have sashimi, & nothing against sushi per se - when it's done as a high level food experience (almost never in the west), it's excellent; usually, it's fast food.
In this down tempo At Denis eatery their menu has a huge array of fair priced appetizers that are more than filling (& perfect for sharing) as well as ramen & bao & larger plates.
Their sake based cocktails & large selection of sake are impressive. & highly recommended are the grilled oyster mushrooms.
For me, attention to detail is what takes this place to another level - no ice in the water they serve you, the miso soup is dark, food is sometime served on long wooden planks for large groups. Awesome!
Service impeccable & rapide pour le menu à volonté à 25$ incluant un cocktail. Une aubaine ! Menu limité dans la formule à volonté mais tout était bon.
It was my first time eating here & we had an amazing experience, the food was really great & even the presentation was wonderful. I'd want to eat here again but there's one thing I'd want to improve here & it's the lack of images for the menu. For most of the food we want to see how it looked like & also wanted to consider the portion size. However the food was good either way. I'd recommend visiting & try out the foods here.
Le service un peu froid & la nourriture pas si bonne. Le calamar grillé était dur & pas savoureux, les légumes frites étaient san saveur. La soupe Miso médiocre. Le 4.5 de ponctuation sur Google ne représentent pas la vérité. Il y a des resto japonais beaucoup plus bons à Montréal.

À volonté à 25$ avec cocktail. Pas dégoûtant mais pas top top non plus. Manque de verdure. Bcp de friture. Cocktail généreux cependant La prochaine fois j'essayerai la carte.
Went for the $25 AYCE. I would say the quality of the food is mediocre. Not disgusting but nothing exceptional. Overall it's still a good deal for the price you pay especially with the cocktail. It's too bad because the rest of the menu looks really good. We got there at 3pm on Saturday. No wait & received our first order really quickly.
Went all you can eat from 3-5pm. It was good! Food quality was excellent! Everything was tasty & there was a free drink included in the price.
I will say the food options were small in my opinion, there was only about 10 dishes give or take that were offered on the all you can eat menu, but the drinks were very good. I would recommend & I will definitely be coming again.
