Superbe resto. Nous y avons été pour l'appartement hour (tapas à volonté & drink pour 25$ht). Le personnel est professionnel & super sympa. Les portions sont très bonnes & généreuses. L'ambiance est super cozy. Je recommande le tempura de crevette! Le choix de drink est diversifié (moktail, cocktail)

Had the happy hour special, it was really good tapas for'à volonté'! Will come again with more friends. The drink that i chose with the special was the guava margarita mocktail & it was really yummy juice!
Nice restaurant for Japanese tapas & drinks. Very cozy vibe. The shrimp tempura & the abalones were excellent. The takoyakis & brochettes were mediocre. I also enjoyed the sashimi. Very good pricing.
Nous avons été dans le cadre de la promotion à volonté. Tapas sélectionnés avec beaucoup de friture, le service était vraiment long. Pourtant peu de clients dans le restaurant.. le serveur ne nous a jamais demandé s'il nous manquait quelque chose, ou même veiller à ce que lon aie de l'eau ou quelque chose à boire.. je ne recommande pas.
This place should be more popular! The food is great! (Dumpling not the best I had but the rest definately good vs Japan experiences) The prices are very affordable for the all-you-can-eat tapas happy hour. The owner is truly charming.
Muscat soju I'm in ! they can do parties / group.
Il y un spécial présentement de 15h à 18h30 du dimanche au mercredi sur des tapas à volonté. Il y a aussi une boisson incluse dans la formule. J'ai adoré le tartare de saumon servis sur des petites croustilles de riz.
J'ai pris le calmar grillé, un cocktail à base de coco & les takoyakis.
Ils ont une formule tapas à volonté qui n'est pas chère, mais sans les plats qui nous tentaient. L'atmosphère était cool, bien place & les serveu.ses.rs agréables. La nourriture ne nous a pas transporté plus que ça, même si j'étais content de voir un calmar à la carte.

Quand on est rentré au ukiya Izakaya on a remarqué l'ambiance causy pour une date! Se que nous sommes venus essayer était les tapas à volonté avec un drinks ou un mockteil! Les mockteils que nous avons essayé étaient rafraîchissement bon. Que dire des tapas un après surtout les tartares! A un prix vraiment abordable!
Pour de vrai, l'option tapas à volonté de 15h à 18h30 avec un cocktail inclus est un must. Seulement 25$ par personne. Les produits sont goûteux, frais & très bien préparés. De plus, le service est rapide & efficace. Restaurant asiatique à aller lorsque vous êtes à Montréal.
Great restaurant, came in for their $25 AYCE Tapas & loved everything on the menu. The veggie dumplings & salmon tartare bites were my favourite!! Will be coming back soon for this great deal!
This was an amazing find during my trip to Montreal! For $25, you can get unlimited tapas & a cocktail of your choice, which is a great deal. My favourite tapas included the salmon tartare, grilled mushrooms, chicken wings, & vegetables dumplings.
We had the pleasure of experiencing a delightful time at this establishment, taking advantage of their $25 per person happy hour special. This incredible deal includes a choice of one cocktail(mocktail) & unlimited tapas, making it a fantastic option for those who appreciate great value without compromising quality. The ambiance was truly enchanting, with a cozy yet stylish atmosphere that immediately made us feel welcome. On top of that, the service was exceptional-attentive, friendly, & professional, ensuring that every detail of our visit was handled with care.
