    Great for dates and meet up with friends. Has a cozy terrace with overhanging lanterns. Disappointed that there's no hot ramen on menu but kimchi buffalo wings with Sriracha peas was amazing!

    Great cocktails made with smile and love! Try the Japadog and the Soba salad, deliflavorlicious! It utilizes a lot of Asian flavors adapted to MTL taste. Chefs know their market :)

    Definitely having to fried tofo again. Try the salmon and nigiri skewers. Ask the barman for great cocktail pairings

    Everything is good here! Tapas style. Love the fried chicken (Karaage), the wakame salad and, the last but not least, the Chirashi Zushi.

    karaage with a yuzu slaw and yuzu mayo= delicious. Gyoza=delish. Try the soba salada and the crepe!!! Loved it! And of course a cold asahi!

    If you like it spicy, try the Soba Sarada. It's not to spicy but love the little pinch on the tongue.

    Really fast service, great food (loved the fried chocken), and good cocktails. Music is loud and the table arrangement is weird though.

    My verdict: I wasn't crazy about the food - not very Japanese authentic at all. Good environment, a bit pricey. Stay away from the karaage, not good! Not a repeat for me.

    If you're not familiar with Japanese food, it may be ok (though a bit salty) but otherwise it's adapted heavily for Canadian palette. Avoid if you want authentic.

    Service was fast, food was more than average and the fact that as soon as we sat (we had a reservation) the girl told us that we had to leave 1:30 later. Rude, I'm not pleased about this place

    The minced chicken is to die for.. A decent enough bar food item for 10 dollars.

    Watch out. Many of the dishes are coated in an overly sweet glaze. I expected grilled chicken thighs to be savory, not taste like candy.

    Addict à leurs brochettes de boeuf au fromage. Gyozas et nouilles soba sont également des valeurs sûres. Service très amical.
