First dish was the Karage (fried chicken): $9 ($3 a piece) 8/10 nice tender and felt like a wonton based on the coating. Chirashi: $42 lots of different types of sashimi and soy rice with salmon roe. 8/10 Uni Mazemen: $58 Uni with salmon roe, chili oil, fried scallions was probably the main dish to try. Overall I give it an 7/10 nothing special, was creamy and oily a little too oily basically ruined the texture of all the ingredients combined. Had a nice kick and an umami flavour but definitely a bit disappointing based on the hype I read beforehand. Futomaki of Bluefin tuna: the last dish and probably the best dish 9/10. Fish very fresh and the rolls held up well. $46 Overall 6.8/10 the experience lacked one waiter one chef, I will note the food was good but the value was not there for me. If you are looking for a place to try some good food and something maybe a little different than the norm and want to be left alone like at home this is a good spot. But if you are looking for a WOW factor in service and being wined and dined this isn’t the spot. I wouldn’t go again especially if you are at a price point of $120 a person for this kind of experience. To add: being one waiter and one chef isn’t to say that it’s a bad thing but you can tell that it was awkward and “cold” as it felt like you were taking time away from the server when they should be there to really make it an experience for every party dinning there.

Thank you for coming!
Kitano Shokudo is a true gem in Montreal. The food is authentically Japanese, beautifully executed, and paired with a fun, lively vibe. Sitting at the bar made the experience even better. The menu strikes a great balance between excellent sushi and Japanese dishes. The duck was outstanding, the fried chicken and Brussels sprouts were addictive, and the saki was great. An all around great night with great food and energy. Can’t wait to go back.

One of the very best Japanese restaurants in Montreal. Fresh Japanese that is truly authentic. A must visit to both Montreals and visitors
