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.
We came here with low expectations & they delivered exactly what we wanted which was quantity. My partner & I had drinks & skewers right before coming here at Ichigo Ichie & while the food & drinks were fantastic, it left us feeling still hungry for the price we paid. We decided to drop by here for seconds because the skewer prices were cheaper & we just wanted some filling. The drinks we got here were interesting to look at & pretty tasty but the flavours were a little muddled. Kind of like a good jungle juice with a theme. The drinks we had at Ichigo's was more polished & flavourful. The skewers & karaage, which we also got at the last place was definitely not as flavourful & well executed as Ichigo Ichie but you get so much more food for your money. It was kind of what I expected. If I had gotten better flavour then that would have been amazing but I think they made it up for their lack of flavour with their portion sizes. All in all, we paid about the same as Ichigo Ichie & got like 2.5x more food. Felt quite full after. It's good food for a fair price & you can't go wrong going here for a meal. Just know that it won't blow you away like Ichigo Ichie 3 blocks away
Really nice & cozy place , vegetarian options for me ,but was with friends so was a variety of food ,, Really recommended it but if u are vegan like me , it's not that much for the all u can eat menu , but I was satisfied tho ...
Food was good, staff are very nice, restaurant clean, lots of drinks to choose front. All you can eat starts at 3pm. Price: 57$ for two people with drinks, plate, side dish. 70$ with tips
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.
The food was good, only salmon sashimi was a bit icy inside. The service was friendly but very slow. They came to take our order 20 min after we sat down & brought the food in another 30 min.
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.
