| - This restaurant moved from rue de la Montagne perhaps about 1-2 years back, and I find that this new place looks brighter and cleaner.
We've been here several times as a family, and have always found the service to be excellent. This is a kid-friendly place. The servers are attentive to our and the kids' needs.
The sushi, handrolls and tempura etc are fresh and meet our expectations for a Japanese restaurant. In addition, what's truly unique here is its Sukiyaki! This is the Japanese hotpot - with finely-sliced beef cooked quickly in simmering Japanese sauce and dipped in raw egg (optional). Yum! Just the thing for a cold / snowy day in Montreal! This is typically a dinner dish, but we asked for it at lunch on a freezing day, they could whip it out in no time. I believe the cost is around $70 for two. There is a generous helping of sliced beef and fresh vegetables. I haven't been able to find another Japanese restaurant in Montreal which serves Sukiyaki.
Considering how street parking can be a nightmare at Montreal, one other great thing about this restaurant is its free parking. Yep, FREE. You park at the parking lots in the compound outside the restaurant, and obtain a placard from the restaurant to display on your dashboard. We were just told about this new arrangement in Dec 2013.
So overall, this is a great family restaurant, and there are more secluded spots in the restaurant where it would be more conducive for a business dinner / lunch.
