Come early (opens at 5:30) for dinner to avoid long lines. If you miss the first round of people getting in, I promise you it will be at least an hour wait. It's not your expected traditional Japanese food - it's cooked Japanese food like gyozas, okonomiyaki, nabeyaki soup - seriously, the good salty stuff.
Order anything off the menu, people all around me ordered a variety from Tuna/Salmon Bowl to the Shrimp burger.
I shared a nabeyaki, tuna/salmon bowl and an okonomiyaki with a friend. My okonomiyaki was really big, but undercooked :( Nevertheless, it was good - but undercooked (docked a star for that) so the middle was kind of pasty and sicky - however, the nabeyaki and tuna/salmon bowl was divine.
Nabeyaki was tasty, the meats were good and the tofu was love - soft and silky. The bowl: Perfect amount of fish and crunchiness in the bowl, it had great texture - and was HUGE - so filling. Really, you are paying for your worth.
Last of all - GET THE ICECREAM. I don't know what you're thinking if you leave without dessert because this ice cream reminds me of the ice-cream I ate in Japan on top of a freaking mountain. The soft ice cream is very milky and creamy. It makes you believe that they use the best of the best ice cream. And they have a variety of flavors, but my friend and I tried Earl Grey and Green tea. It's a really crunchy, tastey powder that flavors the ice cream, almost like cookies.
yum, definitely the place to try while you're in Montreal!
