We went on a Saturday for their happy hour & it was even better than expected! They clearly communicated the rules of the happy hour & were super friendly. Food came out fast & was so delicious. We enjoyed everything we got & the cocktails were full sized & beautiful. I also decided to order to shots additional to the deal & the bar made us an extra one to share! 100% will be coming back next time I'm in Montreal.
The rice bowls are super good! Especially the chicken one, & their "Summer Purple" drink was super cute & tasty, totally worth it for a cute date night
Highly recommended to come on a Wednesday for their happy hour... 25$ for an all you can eat fried food as you can see in my pictures below. Other items on the menu look absolutely amazing, can't wait to come back to try new stuff here. Service was 10/10 & very welcoming

We went for the all you can eat + drink from 3-7 pm which we were told was $20 by a social media post but when we got there it turns out they increased the price to $25 ... The deal was still worth it in our books, the food is pretty good, the options are limited for all you can eat but that's expected. I would definitely recommend it for a cheap "all you can eat" dinner - especially the salmon tartare which has raw salmon! By far the highlight of the meal. Service was great too, waiters were really friendly & fast!
Came here for the happy hour, & it was so worth it! Loved the atmosphere, good music, chill vibes, super friendly staff ☺️👌 Also the mojitos are as big as my face 😂 Get the mango since it's sweet & fits well with the food ☺️❤️
