Ukiya Izakaya offers a lively Japanese tapas vibe with a broad, affordable menu that shines during happy hour and all you can eat options, while a number of reviews praise the friendly, attentive staff and stylish, cozy atmosphere. The food is generally good and varied, with standout bites like grilled eggplant, beef short rib in a rich sauce, tasty dumplings, takoyaki and sashimi, and many notes on generous drink selections from cocktails to sake, though some dishes can be over fried or under seasoned and a few orders arrive late or are incomplete in the all you can eat format. Service and speed are inconsistent, with some visits described as fast and welcoming and others marked by slow service or misordered tables, and a few diners felt portions or quality did not always meet expectations for the price. Overall Ukiya Izakaya is seen as a reliable, sociable spot for groups or casual meals, strong for drinks and sharing plates, but potential guests should temper expectations on consistency and dish execution.
Bonne cuisine dans l'ensemble (petit + pour les gyoza & les pleurotes) avec formule à volonté à 20 CAD (1 cocktail compris) proposée de 15h à 19h (venir tôt si vous voulez de la place sans trop attendre). Choix assez limité dans la formule à volonté (quinzaine de choix) avec au moins la moitié végane. Conclusion : Excellent rapport qualité-prix!
Really good deal for their happy hour! Drinks are good & tapas are good as well! Would definitely come back in the future. No reservations but we came at 3:30 & were seated immediately. Food & drinks came quickly
Don't forget to try their offer all you can eat Japanese tapas with one giant drink only for $20. Their menu for all you can eat is limited but it has a good variety plus everything is so fresh. It's a decent place which has good value pricing.
Clovis was an amazing server. He made the atmosphere & the vibes of the restaurant 5 Stars! We try the 20$ All you can eat special & it's definitely a bang for your buck! Highly recommend!

We got to the restaurant for the happy hour (from 3 to 7) it was 6:10. I saw on the facebook page they no longer take reservation for the happy hour & that it's first come first serve. The waitress told us the happy hour was now full, i asked how it's possible since their was barely anyone in the restaurant (max 10 tables) & she said the waiting list is full. So they put the people that show up on a waiting list & the happy hour is not in fact till 7. I don't think you should priorise people on paper over people in person because some of them might not come back & you lose clients. I think it should be clear on your facebook page the way you proceed because we did 45min drive to go try that restaurant for my birthday & we were very disapointed. I would give a 1 star but i don't want to impact your global score & i think it's possible to improve.
I went here for the Happy Hour special that is going a bit viral & I will say that it was a fantastic deal. Happy Hour is $20 & includes a cocktail that normally costs $15, so you're essentially paying $5 for all the appetizers you can eat. They don't advertise the Happy Hour items so the options are: Edamame, Wakame, Salmon Tartare, Grilled Mushrooms, Chicken Wings, Sweet Potato Fries, Mozzarella Sticks, Octopus Balls, Veggie or Chicken Gyoza. The food itself is not great, it's clearly frozen foods that they prepare in bulk as part of this happy hour promo but it's still worth it, especially if you're into quantity over quality. The drink quality was fantastic, highly recommend the Summer Purple. Our server was also great. I will note that the food takes forever to come out, it was around 35-40 minutes. Considering it's just fried frozen appetizers, that's too long in my opinion. Still worth the try especially if on a budget.
