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!
C'était correct, sans plus ! Pas le meilleur japonais a ce niveau de prix que j'ai essayé a Montréal. Très bon service. A essayer & faire votre idée mais je ne retournerai pas. Bon choix d'alcool

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.
Beaucoup d'autres endroits dans le même genre qui se démarque, on n'y retourneras pas. Les deux étoiles vont au sashimi & aux aubergines, le service était inadéquat

Bonne bouffe , merveilleux d'offrir un cocktail gratuit avec le buffet , ça serait mieux de moderniser le service pour les commandes du buffet , car ils te donnent une petite feuille où tu marques la quantité de ce que tu vx parmi les options du buffet mais si tu vx recommander il faut que tu demandes une autre feuille & les serveurs ne sont pas tjrs à vue ou disponibles dans le moment
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.
