Bon, après y être allé à plusieurs reprises et avoir eu l’opportunité de goûter à presque tout, je confirme que ce restaurant maitrise ses plats et ses cocktails avec brio.
L’endroit est une Izakaya, soit une brasserie japonaise. L’ambiance recherchée se veut donc animée et vivante voire parfois festive. À mon avis c’est un plus, tout le monde en a marre des vieux restos coincés.
Le service y est courtois, aidant, accessible et surtout rapide.
Comme moi, vous apprécierez la belle variété de sakés offerts.
Dernier point. Il ne prennent pas de réservation, mais vous pouvez prendre une petit cocktail en attendant qu’une table se libère. C’est pas beau ça?
Merci à l’équipe.
Cheers!
Impeccable ! L’accueil, l’ambiance, le décor, le service mais surtout les plats et la carte des cocktails étaient tous largement à la hauteur. Le concept de taverne japonaise détonne des adresses qu’on est habitué de visiter et c’est très rafraîchissant ! Nous avons fait plusieurs belles découvertes grâce aux excellents conseils du staff et nous comptons assurément y retourner très bientôt !
This place was our best discovery, our special gem during the whole weekend spent at Quebec! Great ambiance, very nice waiters and absolutely delicious food! We had beef tataki,pulled pork dumplings, sausages, chicken skin and mushroom (King eryngi) skewers and white fish tartar served on rice with seaweed papers. Everything was exquisite! I'm still trying to process how those mushrooms were the best I've ever had in my life...
We reserved the kitchen counter seating but I would suggest getting a seat at the bar as the view of the kitchen is limited and nothing like a sushi bar. We ordered the mescal and the Old fashioned (with the hibiki whiskey and 10 year aged Sochu).The drinks were fantastic and Possibly the best old fashioned I have had anc worth the $$$. We ordered multiple sharing plates. The standout dishes were the mushroom fritters and the pork. The disappointments were the Wagyu grill( it was luke warm and not charred like it should be) and the vegetable curry (gravy reminded me of the packaged brown gravy; fried tofu was great on its own).
I came across this place and read the reviews that this place is very popular and top rated.
I didn’t have a reservation made, so I arrived few minutes earlier before it opened - I was surprised to find out there were lines forming to this place even before they opened.
I managed to get seated right away, and ordered a cocktail and a Okonomiyaki with pork.
Cocktail was suggested me (not on the menu) based on my preference, and it fit my expectation perfectly.
The okonomiyaki was very very delicious as well. I was happily full after.
I was greeted by friendly staffs, enjoyed my dinner, and hope to visit this place again in the future.
Pretty authentic for an Izakaya house smack dab in Québec City. Place is rather small so be prepared to wait. The best place is at the kitchen bar where you can see the chefs preparing your orders. It can get pretty warm inside because it’s an open kitchen, which can be quite welcoming in the winter. Not mind-blowing but otherwise a great place to introduce yourself to Japanese izakaya.
Every time I visit QC, this is the go to for amazing food and drink. The Shitake Tempura is an absolute legend, and if you enjoy cocktails the Tuque Orange is something to behold. Get here and enjoy yourself. You'll thank me later

One of the really nice places to have dinner where you could actually get in without a reservation. I came here because it was listed in almost every website I read with the search terms "best restaurants in Quebec City". Don't expect fine dining kind of table service but the typical izakaya setting with loud conversations, oily atmosphere due to the food preparation method and comfort food.
The key feature here is umami so you got to be comfortable with strong flavours and fresh ingredients combined. There is a slight local twist on the food here but it works.
They do provide shoyu but unless you are eating sashimi, the rest of the dishes are very well seasoned with very strong umami from shishito, ponzu, bonito etc. Very comfortable setting and don't expect a romantic setting is you are bringing your date expect to have a quiet romantic time. This place is great for small gatherings too with larger tables.
I don't recall seeing any draft beers but they do have bottled beers, special cocktails and other Japanese alcohol. Almost over ordered because the food was really nice.
Amazing food and great service. Highly recommend quail eggs in miso, also the Marinated Wagyu beef skewers. We had several items and shared as a group.
