Tasteful ramen & salad. I would prefer a lounge or Japanese music. Otherwise, everything was niceView more

Wow! What a hidden gem (that should be hidden all the time). The food is not like any typical Japanese food. Very neutral & off the shelf sauce taste. Save your money.View more

Summary - can't recommend anyone to go here. I won't pitch a fit if someone else really wants to go here, but I won't elect to return on my own & I certainly could never put my name down next to a "you should go here" recommendation. Took a party of 9 (with reservation) on 26 AUG 2024 - we were stuffed into a table at the very back really intended for 8. It was exceptionally hot in the restaurant. They apologized & mentioned something about the AC I couldn't fully understand. In any case it was uncomfortable. We received sub-par service as well. Not sure if this because we were stuffed in the back & forgotten about or if they were just under staffed - doesn't really matter, the result was long intervals between server visits. Server got 90% of our orders correct - the remaining 10% were forgotten & required reminding. The salmon miso soup was great - super tasty & I'd be very happy to have that again. Everything else fell solidly into the average category at best. Nothing really outstanding. Sushi was average, tempura was average, karage was below average. Beer was canned rather than on tap, & they didn't have Asahi (it was on the menu, they were out). In a city with so many really great places to eat average isn't good enough - you'll be happier to go somewhere else.View more

Excellent restaurant, lieu charmant & convivial. La cuisine est délicieuse. Le service était parfait. J'ai eu la chance d'être servie par le patron de l'établissement cordial, souriant & professionnel. L'entrée de Tori Karaage était succulente. Je recommande vivement ce restaurant.View more

Having a sashimi, sake & a side of travel gossip with my friend. If you see us out on an adventure, don't worry-it's just us trying to make our sashimi jealous of our travel stories! 😏View more

Had a work function here & loved the sashimi which was generous & tasty. Some of the tempura was unfortunately mushy & the salad dressing overpowered the salad, but that was balanced out by the chawanmushi, the sashimi, noodle bowls & others! Overall, delicious!View more

first off the presentation of all the dishes was very impressive! I especially loved their sushi rolls. The soba scallop dish was disappointing & didn't reflect the menu picture as the scallop was thinly sliced which was misleading. I personally wasn't a fan of that dish but my friend did. went during lunch on a Monday so it wasn't that busy but the staff was speaking loudly which ruined the ambience. They were clearly overstaffed, 4 servers for four tables. I would go back for takeout for their sushi but not dine in...View more

I am quite disappointed with this place. I ordered foie gras & grilled eel rice bowl but got another combination with foie gras & scallop...& the napkin is dirty with very obvious brown stains. The atmosphere is kind of oppressive not relaxing. The price is okay...but I guess you will have a better option in mtl with the same price.View more

I visited Yen with my friends tonight ☺️☺️☺️& yeas I want to say, I was thoroughly impressed. Every aspect, from the quality & taste of the dishes to the presentation & decor, was delightful. The ambiance of the restaurant perfectly complements its style, which is both chic & sophisticated, typical of a Japanese izakaya. If I were to recommend a Japanese restaurant, Yen would undoubtedly be my top choice. It seems I'm not alone in my opinion, as the restaurant was completely full. 🤓View more

Delicious & enormous rolls. A real step up in flavor & presentation from what I'm used to in the states. Mango cheesecake was pretty good too. The decor was really cool.View more
