RESTAURANT KAZU REVIEWS

Just wow!! Everything we had is really good and the service was fantastic! There was a line up when we came Thursday night at 9:00pm, but it was worth it! We were lined up with a local who told us that they keep coming back here. The place is tight but it didn’t take away from our dining experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Montreal.

About as close to perfection as one can expect. Very gracious service. Great value for the flavour explosion and generous serving size. There are a lot of items on the wall that aren't in the printed menu, and they're often some of the best dishes. For 4 appetizers, two mains and 4 drinks, the total was about $150 all in and it's possible to have a great meal for significantly less. Truly a must try.

All customers are so happy and hyped about what they are ordered. The food overall is good! The oysters is fresh but not that good as I expected. I will say the sauce on top is a bit overwhelmed. But definitely will go back to try out their menu again.

IMADAKE IZAKAYA REVIEWS

Great place, lovely staff & amazing food. It's a little loud for my taste but will definitely come back. Compliments to the major D and our waiter, Jae took great care of us along the evening. Do yourself a favor and have a sake bomb... it's fun.

Best Japanese restaurant in Montreal! Nancy provided the BEST service we’ve ever had!! The food and atmosphere was immaculate. We will definitely be back thanks to the food as well as Nancy and her amazing service.

Came here with a group of 5. We split 2 sake bottles and shared a number of plates. Everything was excellent including the service, and it was priced reasonably for the quality you’re getting. It’s a great place to be a little adventurous and try different things.

YOKATO YOKABAI RAMEN REVIEWS

The Ramen (pork broth and thin noodles) was excellent! It was rich and creamy. Our server was helpful. You can actually see in the hall the noodles being made downstairs. I would highly recommend this place. I’d come back too. Just a note, this place is hidden in plain site. You’ll walk right by it, not even realizing it. It doesn’t look like a store front. The price was right for the quality and experience for two. Thank you!

Quite an authentic place that serves exclusively Ramen! It was my first time there and I did not expect a waiting line at the entrance! The place was packed! The food is great, genuine Japanese flavours. I recommend to take the matcha ice-cream too.

Visited with my group from out of town and this was quite possibly one of the best Tonkotsu Ramen dishes I’ve had in all of North America. The ability to make selections of toppings is fun and customizable. The broth was rich and delicious. The only criticism is I would have preferred a properly braised chashu for the price point but the rest of the dish genuinely made up for this. Almost went back the next day for seconds. Ps. Get the spicy Karaage, you won’t be disappointed.
