Nous voulons faire différemment des autres restaurants Japonais qu'on a essayé récemment.
Nous sommes allés à l'ouverture, excellent accueil & le service est tout autant.

Le menu est assez vaste, nous avons pris du sushis thon avec foie gras au-dessus avec du poulet & un bol de boeuf.

La préparation est assez rapide , les sushis sont de très bonnes grosseurs & très peu de riz.
Tout est excellent, le goût est superbe

L'endroit est bien décoré & l'ambiance est calme , j'adore !

The staff were very gracious! I dined in as they had trouble with their card machine. I was accommodated because they could accept e-transfer under the circumstances & a nearby ATM just down the block.
The decor is cozy, it's not too loud, & the seating is comfortable enough.
The bathrooms are unisex & decorated with mosaic tiles.
Finding street parking can be difficult because it's next to Concordia campus.

One of my favorite places for a cozy Monday lunch. The atmosphere is warm & perfect for enjoying a fresh meal away from the rush of the day.
Their signature sushi creations are truly outstanding. I especially love the creativity behind their dishes, & the idea of incorporating foie gras into sushi is something I genuinely appreciate - it brings a unique & elegant touch to the experience.
A beautiful place for anyone looking for great flavors, creativity, & a memorable lunch experience.

The ambiance is cozy & warm. It's a very beautiful restaurant with nice staff.

I used to go there often but the cooking has declined a bit over the years. Still a good restaurant to try.

SASHIMI: 7/10

GYOZA: 7/10
It used to be so tasty. But it was a bit bland

TEMPURA MORIAWASE: 8/10
Veggies & shrimps were good

GYU SHITAKE DON: 7/10
Again, two years ago it was so delicious & flavourful. The sauce was hard to taste & the beef was very stiff, not tender at all.

UNADON: 10/10
Very delicious & flavourful!

KAISEN CHIRASHI: 9/10
It was fresh & delicious!

SAKE PEACH: 10/10
