Adorable restaurant with a delightful atmosphere. The friendly & attentive staff enhanced the overall experience. The highlight was undeniably the ramen - rich broth, perfectly cooked noodles, & flavorful toppings. You should definitely try the samon kawa tartare. Highly recommended for the charming ambiance & delicious food.

Excellent food & good presentation, the chef knows his stuff, highly recommend ordering from there as the service is terrible as in non existent. Waitress took forever to come take the order, never checked in on us or took the plates away after we were done with the entree & main course. We wanted to take dessert & tea, but by the time we got a hold of someone, we were told the table was reserved for someone else, but that we could still order, but had to leave in 15 min. (90 min. after we arrived). We obviously skipped the dessert & we asked for our bill. 5 min later a dude comes to us saying we have leave as they need the table, but they had not even brought our bills yet & to top it all, they asked, for the third time, how to split the charge. Too bad, because the place is beautiful & the food id something 😋.

Came here for a friend's birthday dinner after 6 pm on a Sunday & were seated immediately. The service was quick & the fish was very fresh! I really recommend the rainbow poke bowl but the menu has sooo many options (including vegetarian options!)

One of the finest sushi restaurants in the downtown area of Montréal. I’ve been about a dozen times & it never disappoints. Great service, amazing food & a pretty chill atmosphere. The takeout service is phenomenal as well. I highly recommend!

The fusion of foie gras & japanese food are mouthwatering. Definitely recommend the salmon roll with foie gras & unagi with foie gras rice bowl. Those two are out of this world.

Got delivery quite fast but filling to rice ratio was shockingly like a riceball. Would not recommend
