Crispy mushroom, fried mushroom are delicious! It comes with a soy sauce. Sweet and spicy Chinese eggplants, well seasoned eggplants are tasty!

One thing to note that some of the chefs are more skilled than others but enjoyment is always granted.

What beautiful restaurant! The decor is to die for!…read more But the service and food are ok. Actually the service was extremely long and as far as the food goes, 3 of my friends and I found that it eatable yet some dimensions missing in the mix of ingredients. I personally had a Pad Thai and described it as boring...the sauce that generally enhances the combination of shrimps, noodles and all involved was just flat. It as if they had left two colors in the spectrum of the rainbow. But absolutely worth seeing!

As you walk up to the front door there is a huge statue of a horse raise up on its hind legs. That's just the beginning. The Decour and ambience were amazing, and I loved all the detail. We were greeted and seated my friendly staff and promptly attended to by our server. I ordered the ginger shrimp plate which is served with mixed vegetables and some rice. The presentation was absolutely beautiful. The flavor was fresh and a delight. The vegetables and everything were cooked to perfection. There is nothing I would've changed. Some people complained in their reviews about slow service. They must have come on a bad day. Our server was always prompt, courteous, engaging and professional. Or food was delivered hot and promptly. Everyone at my table enjoyed their entrée. I wish we had such a wonderful restaurant in my hometown. I did not notice background music, and did not miss it. I was accompanied by great friends and we enjoyed the conversation without any distractions. I did not take pictures or bother to look at the restaurant up on Yelp while I was there because I wanted to give my attention fully to my hosts. However there is much that is photo worthy at this beautiful restaurant, and the food I had was amazing. A truly delightful place perfect for a date night with your wife or for gathering with family or friends. Everything I saw was spotless and clean, immaculately decorated, the food and service top notch. I would definitely return anytime I had the chance.

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.

Very much enjoyed my meal here on a weekday last week…read more First of all, the atmosphere is great, very unique decor and the staff were extremely friendly. The portions are small so don't expect to order 1-2 and be full. Between two people, we shared 5 dishes and we probably could have ordered 2 more. We tried a variety of items off their menu including one sashimi and one fried dish. Everything tasted good, was fresh and had different flavour profiles. I wasn't a huge fan of the matcha cheesecake because I found that there wasn't enough of a cheesecake taste. It cost us each 25$ before tip which I find pretty reasonable. Overall, I would return and I look forward to trying more dishes.

Last full day in Montreal and our last meal was here! While I was figuring out which places I…read morewanted to check out ahead of my trip, I was most intrigued by their interior architecture. The walls appear as if they are sunken in, but the wood panels are just positioned in very interesting angles that make them look like a literal hole in the wall. We arrived for an early dinner, but luckily, we made it right on time for happy hour. It worked out so well, so we started the evening with drinks - Kyoto Cooler (sake, honey, grapefruit) & Yuzu Sour (shochu, yuzu, soda). Althpugh the drinks were presented nicely, they were not mixed at all! Everything we were interested in on the menu happened to be on the happy hour menu. Well, that worked out so perfectly! This is what we got: Toro Age, Tebasaki, Sake Wasa and Maguro Nudo. For value at happy hour, it was great to share these small plates, but they were not portioned enough to fill an appetite without spending a couple extra bucks. Since we were still hungry, we also ordered an item on the regular menu - Unagi Aburi. Portion was extremely small with thin slivers of torched freshwater eel topped with sliced almonds and tobiko caviar. I wasn't sure if the yuzu honey sauce on the plate made a difference, but there's a lot of sweetness in the dish itself. Our favorite was the tebasaki though. Fried to a golden crisp, the wings were juicy with a light soy glaze. We loved it so much, we ordered another plate and because it was on happy hour, I didn't feel too bad or wasteful ordering up. Overall, Kinoya was a fun place to visit for its novelty, but not a place I would find myself returning to. Actually, maybe for the wings, just the wings! The food didn't deliver as much as I had hoped and the portion to price ratio was a bit pricey for value to satisfaction. However, the happy hour deals are great and worth a visit!

We were a bit group (40 people) and they were able to accommodate everyone and even add a couple more spots last minute when we had add ons. Ordering on the app can be a bit tricky since everyone can add whatever they want and you all have to agree only one person presses send. Seeing the cart update in real time is cool but also confusing since you really so need to reread every line to make sure no one getting too much. But as long as you have a designated person to send it in, you won't receive anything you didn't order. I really recommend this place! The food was fresh, they have all you can drink bubble tea which I've never seen anywhere else!!!, lots of options like skewers and tempura and fried rice along the main sushi rolls. Some of my favourites were the edamame because they serve it warm and slightly salted which is my preferred way to get edamame. The short rib is my favourite of all the grilled meats they had because it's well seasoned and tender. The sashimi is thick sliced and tastes so fresh!

It was a bit of a wait to get in even on a Wednesday night in November as we did not have a reservation but they promptly seated us. There are two floors so it is crowded but spacious enough for plenty of food at each table. They have lots of sushi you can't even get at most sit down places in the US including lots of torched nigiri and roll options. The salmon don and ramen were great as well as were the desserts. The service was prompt and we ordered with an iPad. We tried some great sake too. The only complaint regarding service is they gave us a plate for another table but it happens. Would love to come back here again in Montreal as this may be the best of many AYCE sushi places but would love to try another one too. All in all, this was a wonderful last meal in this amazing city.

There is a male host/front-of-house staff member who is extremely rude and does not know how to speak to customers. He was impolite from the start, and the situation got worse as the night went on. We were a group of four. We placed our order and waited 30 minutes, only to find out that the restaurant had cancelled and thrown out our order. Meanwhile, we watched people who arrived after us getting their food. When we asked why we had no sushi, we were simply told, "Sorry, we lost your order, please order again." When our food finally arrived, the same rude host brought it to our table. He literally threw the plates down and walked away without saying a word. To top it off, they automatically added a tip to the bill, which felt aggressive considering how poorly we were treated. They did not deserve that tip. I do want to express out Rebecca, our waitress, need retraining, ande the male host completely ruined the experience. He is the reason I will never recommend this restaurant. You need to do better.
