Unlike most other Izakayas I've tried that are loud and rowdy, you can actually hear your dinner mate. The food was EXCELLENT. We tried several dishes - the squid, the salmon salad, a fish (I forget witch), the fried chicken (Kara ge) and the crab sushi. Everything was great. Next time I'm having the black cod. Best of all - the prices are totally reasonable! We had drinks (I had a bottle of Sake) and it was still under 80$! Without alcohol, dinner for 2 including tip would've been under 60$! Good food, reasonable price, what's not to like?

It's a cosy little shop with tables for about 24 guests. We felt like having a mix of Korean and sushi so we ordered the bulgogi platter which comes with banchan, the octopus balls, the sushi combo 7 which comes with 2 salads. Each guest gets a Miso soup and green tea. The sashimi platter was so fresh offering salmon, tilapia, red, blue and yellow tuna. Everything was 100% fresh. The bulgogi platter was great. And you must try the octopus balls just be careful they're very hot so give them a few minutes to cool down. Great place, really great sushi!

Once seated, things happen very quickly...it is go, go, go (in the best possible way.) We ordered appetizers first, the tempura green beans with a delicious truffle mayo, gyoza and the tofu salad (they make it fresh every Sunday). Green beans were everyone's fave, but I have to mention the (pickled?) vegetables on the salad. So flavourful! Also tried the egg drop soup which is so tasty. Mains were the salmon tuna bowl, the beef short ribs, the shrimp burger, and 48 hour pork with curry sauce. Everything was wonderful! Finished with their soft serve ice cream, I had the cherry blossom but one of us had the sake, which is a shot of sake poured on top. Amazing! You can even have wasabi or ginger... I'll try that next time (and there will be a next time soon!)

You can also order to go here I believe. They really operate efficiently, expect fast service! Tables are tightly situated and there's a cozy bar situation where I sat this time, able to watch the chefs cook right in front of me. The daily specials are posted on their Instagram page, as well as written on pieces of paper around the restaurant. My server quickly helped me to water and a glass of sake. I placed a to go order for one of the daily specials, the grilled sea bass with sushi rice and salad, with some kimchi. I also ordered the BBQ chicken with tortilla and salad, as well as vegetable gyoza. Everything was incredible. Truly. The gyoza came topped with green onions and was SO crispy and hot and was perfect with their soy sauce. I thought sea bass was wonderful with a unique almost smoky flavor that melted in my mouth paired with the slightly sweet sticky rice. The barbecue chicken was great as well and better the next day. One thing I don't really understand is why they served plain flour tortillas cut into quarters with their food. We didn't utilize this, nor the white butter/mayo sauce that came alongside it. I hope to eat here often, for years to come and am so happy to see this iconic Japanese restaurant still thriving years later.

I dropped by on a Thursday afternoon after checking beforehand what their weekly special was (reimen!). They also make takoyaki and okonomiyaki along with some desserts and drinks. It's cool that they have a little old school gaming system in the corner. - Reimen ($10.00) - cold ramen with ham, cucumber, eggs, shiitake mushrooms and tomato. Their ramen was refreshingly light and summery. Shiitake mushrooms were beautifully marinated and sprinkle of sesame seeds/oil was a nice touch. I'm always willing to try new spots, especially places that specialize in only one or two things. 3.5 stars.

First time dining in at Nozy -- had takeout of the uni (sea urchin) don previously some years ago…read more(which was quite good). Came here with a friend, and we both ordered kaisen don and shared an okonomiyaki pancake appetizer and a hot sake. The okonomiyaki was delicious -- it had been sliced into pieces and then deep fried, which is a nice twist; topped with bonito and served with some kind of spicy mayo sauce. Kaisen don was excellent -- looks smallish but was quite filling in fact, thanks to the nice bed of subtly seasoned rice underneath the mini-mountain of various sashimi, which tasted fresh and was well-presented. There was also a piece of uni on it, which I enjoyed immensely. Sake was pretty good too, a warm alternative for winter. Service was attentive but not intrusive. Love the down-to-earth atmosphere of the place, it really feels like a neighbourhood favourite. We had come early-ish for our reservation, and by the time we left, the resto was full -- a good sign. Only gripe was that the paper menu was a couple of bucks more expensive than what is posted online on the resto's website -- and only for some items, not all of them. But given the issue of inflation recently, it's understandable that restaurants can also barely keep up with rising prices for ingredients too. Overall, a tasty experience -- both my friend and I plan to come back.

Hey everyone!! Yes!! We are seeing the light at the…read moretunnel!!! MTL slowly opens up and we can finally dine in at our local restaurant! Here's the one of the firsts that my wife and I decided to go back! Service wise, they have only one waiter in front and he has to go into the kitchen to help from times to times, so it's not too notch service but still enjoyable and hear me out. We are all coming out slowly from a pandemic over a year. We are lucky that some business survive. It will take times for everyone to recover, so give it times, I'm sure they will get better! Food wise This is not a typical Japanese restaurant. So you'll be surprised. I ordered beef sando (beef sandwich) its not the one that I was expected so I was a bit disappointed until I have my first bite... The beef is actually very soft and tasty. I do wish the buns were hot/toasted but hey its still good nonetheless. Then I ordered the chef 5 choices as my main course... Why? I just don't know what to order, the best is to order this set menu so I can try a little bit of everything Hehe. It packed with fried chicken, pita chips with egg plan dip, takoyaki, salade and sashimi rice bowl (aka poke bowl). Everything is good and fresh... Unfortunately the rice was a little too warm for my taste. Price is acceptable, mind you this restaurant is known to have fresh fish and seafood, so really you pay for what you get and you won't be disappointed as an overall experience. If you haven't been there before, go ahead and try! If you have been there before... Well I'm pretty sure you're reading this to plan your next meal, right? :) Enjoy!

I felt super worried about the service and the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed but they delivered greatness! The ambiance was very intimate and small but still lots of tables around to enjoy They made sure that all of us didn't come home hungry! The menu is pretty awesome and lots of food options ! I wasn't in the mood for sushi but definitely changed my mind after I saw other people having it and my mood kicked in suddenly craving for sushi I enjoyed their miso soup it was amazing and delicious fresh just not much tofu so the dish itself was good just missing some tofu in my bowl! Seasoned great though My husband and I decided to share The teriyaki chicken dish .. it was really great . Only thing was the Chicken was a bit dry but the tempura veggies and house salad definitely tasted fresh and amazing. The maki sushis was wonderful 5/5 16pieces pretty tender and very fresh. Thick pieces of avocado and salmon with high end grade sushi grade fish. pretty impressed! Overall the service was attentive and wonderful .. we got our food very quickly even though we were a lot in our group they were able to set up an ordering system into different groups so we could all order effectively.. seemed like it wasn't their first rodeo and are very well prepared for huge groups. Totally recommend this place in general and will be back for sure, their known for their sushi and are one of the best I've tasted in a while very much recommend it Cheers
