The staff is kind, attentive, and spends time explaining every dish served. Guests seat around the kitchen for a true omakaze experience, with the best skilled chefs. Everything is imported directly from Japan and prepared in front of you. We went to celebrate a birthday and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique experience in Montreal.

Wow! What an experience. We didn't quite know what to expect. This was an amazing mix of tradition,…read moreskill and performance art. This is the 5-star culinary equivalent to Cirque du Soliel, in that six people collaborated in small teams to prepare and present each delicious course with flair. Before each round, we were presented with the fish that was the base of the dish to follow. I liked this a lot because often I need to google less common fish to learn what they look like. I appreciated the tea ceremony at the end. It was a lovely finale to a very memorable experience. We will definitely return.

Discovered this beautiful place tonight. We came here for my gf Birthday dinner. It was really…read moredelicious and exquisite experience. We were a huge group of 15 people.. I felt super worried about the service and the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed but they delivered greatness! The ambiance was very intimate and small but still lots of tables around to enjoy They made sure that all of us didn't come home hungry! The menu is pretty awesome and lots of food options ! I wasn't in the mood for sushi but definitely changed my mind after I saw other people having it and my mood kicked in suddenly craving for sushi I enjoyed their miso soup it was amazing and delicious fresh just not much tofu so the dish itself was good just missing some tofu in my bowl! Seasoned great though My husband and I decided to share The teriyaki chicken dish .. it was really great . Only thing was the Chicken was a bit dry but the tempura veggies and house salad definitely tasted fresh and amazing. The maki sushis was wonderful 5/5 16pieces pretty tender and very fresh. Thick pieces of avocado and salmon with high end grade sushi grade fish. pretty impressed! Overall the service was attentive and wonderful .. we got our food very quickly even though we were a lot in our group they were able to set up an ordering system into different groups so we could all order effectively.. seemed like it wasn't their first rodeo and are very well prepared for huge groups. Totally recommend this place in general and will be back for sure, their known for their sushi and are one of the best I've tasted in a while very much recommend it Cheers

Once seated, things happen very quickly...it is go, go, go (in the best possible way.) We ordered appetizers first, the tempura green beans with a delicious truffle mayo, gyoza and the tofu salad (they make it fresh every Sunday). Green beans were everyone's fave, but I have to mention the (pickled?) vegetables on the salad. So flavourful! Also tried the egg drop soup which is so tasty. Mains were the salmon tuna bowl, the beef short ribs, the shrimp burger, and 48 hour pork with curry sauce. Everything was wonderful! Finished with their soft serve ice cream, I had the cherry blossom but one of us had the sake, which is a shot of sake poured on top. Amazing! You can even have wasabi or ginger... I'll try that next time (and there will be a next time soon!)

You can also order to go here I believe. They really operate efficiently, expect fast service! Tables are tightly situated and there's a cozy bar situation where I sat this time, able to watch the chefs cook right in front of me. The daily specials are posted on their Instagram page, as well as written on pieces of paper around the restaurant. My server quickly helped me to water and a glass of sake. I placed a to go order for one of the daily specials, the grilled sea bass with sushi rice and salad, with some kimchi. I also ordered the BBQ chicken with tortilla and salad, as well as vegetable gyoza. Everything was incredible. Truly. The gyoza came topped with green onions and was SO crispy and hot and was perfect with their soy sauce. I thought sea bass was wonderful with a unique almost smoky flavor that melted in my mouth paired with the slightly sweet sticky rice. The barbecue chicken was great as well and better the next day. One thing I don't really understand is why they served plain flour tortillas cut into quarters with their food. We didn't utilize this, nor the white butter/mayo sauce that came alongside it. I hope to eat here often, for years to come and am so happy to see this iconic Japanese restaurant still thriving years later.

The owner was so lovely and friendly! We came here twice while staying in Montreal because we loved the food. Everything we had was so delicious! We had tempura, poke bowl, sonomono, sushi combo, vegetable yaki soba, bento box, and probably a bit more that I can't remember. I loved how they prepared the sonomono, even the tempura was well prepared using real Japanese ingredients. Yaki soba had the taste of Japanese spices. Best sushi in town! Please visit and try their food because it was excellent! The place is cute and successfully decorated with a Japanese-style design. We saw a lot of pretty items from Japan. Excellent food and service. Highly recommended!

This was my first time at a teppanyaki believe it or not! I had only ever seen this in movies and…read morehad no idea that it's actually a resto style called teppanyaki. We were seated in the semi private area which has two tables and can accommodate 16 people comfortably... Maybe 2 more if you squeeze a bit. Drinks: I decided to embrace the unique experience by ordering a Ramune pop where you have to punch down a glass bead so that you can pour the soda. It's served into a glass with a lime flavored popsicle to give it extra flavor. Ordering: the way the menu works is that everyone gets the same things included with their meal. The only thing different is the protein ordered. - Onion broth: thin but oh so packed with umami flavor! - Salad: pretty good with light vinaigrette - Mushrooms: mmmhh fried and covered in soy sauce - Shrimp: delish and drown it in the tangy dipping sauce - Mixed Veggies: helps balance all the meatiness - Addictive ground ginger soy sauce: can eat this with everything! - Tangy chili sauce: love the flavor - Bowl of rice - Orange creamsicle ice cream: yay for ice cream! - Cup of Jasmine tea: wash down all that flavor The meats: with 3 choices of beef from least to most expensive--Beef Samurai, Sirloin, Filet Mignon. I went middle of the road with the sirloin but was able to taste the filet mignon off my friend's plate. Conclusion: filet mignon cut up in cubes had a rich beefy flavor that comes from the fat in the meat that is seared. It's really good, super tender and juicy. The sirloin also cooked and cubed has a flatter taste but still really tender and delicious. If budget is not an issue, go with the filet mignon, your taste buds will be singing! Staff was friendly and polite. The cooks, depending who you get make their own jokes to entertain you while cooking. Our cook did this knife flipping thing with his chef's knife into it's holster several times like it was nothing. I could just envision myself trying that and losing fingers and toes in the process!!! Overall, it's just a touch pricey but I loved the experience! We were all very satisfied. It's good sized portions guaranteeing that nobody will leave hungry. The place filled up by 6pm where every table was occupied. I will go back again!
