The broth is not like other restaurants, in general super salty , but really flavourful and the egg was mind blowing ! I think they have added some extra sauce on it. Definitely worth waiting for it!

Everything is fantastic from the flavours to the presentation. But i have to say by far one of my favourite would be the Lobster special ! Its a must try as well as the grilled mackerel

Tuna salmon bowl consists of tuna salmon tartar, rice, salad and crispy rice on top. Its a great choice. Shrimp burger has its own fans as well. Try either green tea, wasabi or sake ice cream.

eat here as many times as u can so that u try everything. grilled mushroom salad is divine, as well as 48 hr pork, shrimp burger, tofu salad, okonomiyaki, and definitely sake ice cream. worth waiting.

The menu: From their grilled tuna belly, spicy mayo shrimp burger, or 48hr pork on rice (go with the pork), then washing it all down with a rare yuzu draught beer, mixed w/ Japanese citrus. Go there!

Be patient, the wait is worth it. They make killer ramen, potentially the best in town. They also make a mean tuna & salmon bowl and other authentic japanese dishes. Closed on Tuesday though.

Order this grill portobello mushroom! I used to hate this place because of their small dinning area and it’s so hot sitting inside especially when it’s summer. This dish make me want to come back!

The gold at the end of the rainbow is Kazu. 48 hr pork delish, tuna salmon bowl another fav of mine. Don't forget desert. The most amazing ice cream on the planet. Also nice to sit by the kitchen :)

I love everything about this place. Tiny joint with a lot of character, great service and mouthwatering Japanese dishes you probably haven't tried elsewhere. Tuna-salmon bowl is a good starting point.

Get there early to avoid the lineup or for those close by, call ahead and order the tuna salmon bowl to go! Fresh sashimi and mouthwatering kazu sauce!

Tried out the Japanese style bibimbap with beef rib... It'd give a genuine Korean bibimbap a run for its money! Tender meat that melts in your mouth and delicious sauce.

Omg the best food I have ever had in my life the food and service are exceptional the owner and chef is awesome best energy ever the line up is a testimony to how good the food is ..

Small good relatively inexpensive Japanese, conveniently located in the downtown Concordia University area. Usually quite a wait and lots of students. A place to have quick good value Japanese

The fuss is real: probably one of the best japanese in Montreal. Be prepared to wait at least 30min to be seated. You will be upset for waiting, but you’ll end up happy with your food and bill.

Went there for my birthday with my parents. Waited outside for a bit, which I didn't mind. Small, cozy place, with a loud cheerful atmosphere and delicious food. I'll be coming here again.

You can never go wrong with this place 👍🏼 a bit expensive but you're paying for quality food and big portions. Best pillowy tofu I've ever had the pleasure of eating.
Selvaria BlesAugust 21, 2013
Sit at the counter and enjoy a savoury bowl of ramen underneath the cool air conditioner! There's nothing quite like it! Reminds me a lot of the ramen shops I went to while in Japan!

Authentic Japanese restaurant in Montreal. The salmon bowl is wonderful. May need to queue but it is worth.
Jonathan BlairApril 15, 2015
Long wait (about 30 minutes) but worth every second. Got the oysters, dumplings, and tuna bowl. It was the best Japanese food I have ever had. Recommended 200%
Dania BdeirSeptember 2, 2022
Grilled calamari, toro sashimi, lamb chops, beef galbi, salmon and tuna tartar, seafood ceviche , off the menu fries and chef special sea bass
Ashley WhalenOctober 21, 2014
So much amazing Japanese food crammed into one tiny location. Get there right for open time otherwise you'll have to wait. Turnover is quick though, so no worries if you do.
Jeff KApril 24, 2013
You'll wait a while In line every time. Worth every minute every time. Very very small place. Not sure how to pronounce what I eat but I can say I've tried half the menu and loved it all!!.
Vanessa YyDecember 3, 2018
My friend bought me here and order this for me he says this is a must try, grilled lamb with salads but I find it too salty😹 and I don’t really like red meat.
Carole GuevinAugust 11, 2014
The bass is incredible + bowl of tuna+salmon salad. Long wait. Small joint. Quite an experience. No reservation. Bar seating best.
Dania BdeirSeptember 2, 2022
wow one of the best meals I’ve had in my life. All amazing . I want to try every single dish! The chef is a genius
Antoinette MarieNovember 23, 2016
Amazing food! Get the Shrimp Burger, but everything there is amazing. Don't skip out on the dessert, the ice cream is amazing!
Jennifer BenevengaAugust 19, 2013
The tuna & salmon bowl is amazing, like nothing like I've ever had before. The green tea ice cream was to die for! This place exceeded my expectations!
LorenaFebruary 19, 2017
Edamames, chicken gyozas sashimi, green tea ice cream! Great service. All good. It is worth the waiting line :)

For great, creative Japanese dishes, come here. The wait is quite long, so lunchtime during weekdays or 30 min before opening time is the best.
Ashleigh GardnerSeptember 27, 2014
Everyone raves about the tuna and salmon bowl, but the highlight for me was the tofu and kimchi salad. Skip the shrimp burger.
H M TanJune 13, 2014
Portion is a bit big for Asian. The food is at best a fusion of western and Japanese cuisine. For salad and cold disk, mayonnaise was used extensively. Very popular among non-Japanese.
Mo KyDecember 21, 2015
Very good place and staff is very friendly! Had the Teriyaki burger! Delicious
MandanaDecember 12, 2016
Amazing, definitely try salmon & tuna bowl 👍🏼
Carole GuevinAugust 9, 2014
Japanese fusion. Plating out of this world. Must: whole bass + salmon tuna salad. Portions can be shared.
Daniel RoySeptember 2, 2017
Fantastic, no-frills Japanese in a crowded, happy place. Worth the long wait.
Charles GedeonJune 27, 2013
Get the tuna belly. It's phenomenal and it's a great dish to share for 2 people! Very filling, exquisite flavour.
Marie La RueJanuary 19, 2017
Worth waiting in line for. Ask to sit at the bar and witness the chef's culinary savoir-faire.
Norah KhaledAugust 14, 2014
I tried different dishes but the tuna and salmon bowl is the best!

The ramen are the best in town. Any kind is good!!!
CI SandJanuary 24, 2015
Best traditional japanese restaurant in mtl. The ramen or the 48h pork are really delicious and cheap.
DesireeApril 14, 2015
Delicious Japanese home-style meals. Amazing pan fried dumplings. Quick service. No reservations. Worth the small wait.
HinaJune 16, 2017
The tuna/salmon salad bowl was really good! More salad than rice, but it was still filling.
Maryam GharibMarch 11, 2016
For Montrealers out there who love seafood it's a must to try this phenomenon restaurant 😍
Yuki SasakiApril 19, 2014
Different Japanese-based cuisine. It's not TOO cheap, but for Japanese it's definitely affordable :)
Scott RyanSeptember 25, 2013
Best Japanese Pub in Montreal. Hit it up at lunch time for the most authentic Ramen in Montreal
JessicaDecember 6, 2014
Beat the line up by ordering take out. Their food is so tasty!
Kevin SetoOctober 14, 2017
Get the shrimp burger. Delicious!
✨Song✨May 26, 2017
Great Japanese food in the area, I remember the Salmon bowl being tasty.
Peter PanyiczkyNovember 15, 2015
The Ramen is so good. So definitely worth waiting to try it
