While prices are described as high, many reviews feel the quality justifies the cost and consider it among Montreal’s top izakayas. Overall the spot is seen as a great choice for dates or gatherings who enjoy bold flavors, a dynamic atmosphere and the option to customize bowls, with the caveat to plan ahead for crowds.View restaurant profile
