I usually always leave my tip in cash, so I was really surprised to see that a tip had been automatically added on the payment terminal without my consent. I only noticed it after the transaction was completed. I didn’t appreciate that the server took the initiative to add a tip on their own. A gratuity should always be optional and left to the customer’s discretion. I understand that mistakes can happen, but this felt misleading and not acceptable. I recommend making sure customers can clearly choose the tip and confirm before processing payment.
Reviews / Ratings for Kyodai Izakaya
very good food and service 👍
Amazing food, quick service and great vibes. It feels like going through a portal to Tokyo, Japan. (I’ve been to it so believe me when I say that). Also the server named Eddy was just exceptionally thoughtful and helped us find a table with only 30 min before the start of a movie and helped us get served very quickly. Although the place was full, he remembered our time limit and also came to ask if everything was okay throughout the experience. 100% would recommend and go again soon.
Food was poor. Absolutely no effort being made by the kitchen. Everything tasted very frozen, from the chicken, the tempura, the grilled mackerel. There was enough salt in the food to salt the dead sea. Should’ve known something was off when the fried chicken came ball-shaped. Service was great, the vibe was nice, there’s potential if the kitchen puts in some effort.
We came on a very quiet Sunday night and honestly had an amazing experience! The waiter gave us an incredible service that normally you'd get in an upscale restaurant and everything we ordered was so fresh delicious! Especially my ramen soup one of the best I've ever had! This gem is worth coming to often!
We saw reviews saying that the Duck Tataki is one of the best dishes. Unfortunately, I have to disagree because the meat slices are so thin, you don't even taste the duck. I have had my fair share of Duck Tataki and this is the worst one I ever had. It's expensive, mediocre tasting and the meat is paper thin. We also ordered their Chicken Katsu Curry Rice, it was decent but the portion is really small too. Okonomiyaki is the only dish that we think it's tasty, fairly priced with a decent portion.
Great experience at this Japanese restaurant! The food was fresh and delicious. Eddie was our server and he was excellent, very friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend, we will definitely be back!
Nice good, although pricey. Hot sake wasn’t of the top quality. Staff could be friendlier. Atmosphere is nice and cozy.
Food and vibe is amazing here. Eddi was amazing with us ❤️
The vibes? Immaculate. The music? Banging. Eddie? The best. So much fun on my birthday trip to Montreal. Highly recommend the mackerel and the Mt. Fuji cocktail. If Google gave me 6 stars, Kyodai Izakaya would get 6 stars
Eddy gave us an amazing service. We closed the restaurant and had a great time!
Did not disappoint! Will go back!
Excellent cocktails and food. Great vibe, super friendly and efficient staff. Love this place, it's one of my regular spots. I eat much more than normally when I come here!
The food and the service were excellent. Will definitely be back!
Kyodai Izakaya is hands down one of the best spots in Montreal for an authentic Japanese pub experience. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere takes you to a trip in japan, perfect for a night out with friends or a fun date. The food is incredible, everything was seasoned to perfection and served hot. The service was fast and friendly, making sure our drinks were never empty. If you're looking for great vibes and even better food in the city, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!
Nice Japanese style bar, friendly staff, great food.
Great atmosphere, kind people. Sakura flowers season long. Just minty.
This place is BUMPIN fire playlist Fire food Fire staff 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Really nice people
Wonderful food and excellent friendly service!
Absolutely amazing unagi udon. The eel was perfectly tender with a rich, smoky glaze, and the broth was deep and comforting. The udon noodles had the perfect chew. Easily one of the best bowls I’ve had. The service was very kind and the atmosphere quite elegant 🥰
It's a nice place, food is good, my rice was a tad overcooked but I still ate it all
Great food and amazing staff! Definitely coming back
Great place! Great staff! Great food! Give Jason a raise!
An incredible experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely extraordinary — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was perfectly executed. The staff was attentive and professional throughout the evening. A special shout-out to our server Jason, who was fantastic — friendly, efficient, and very attentive. He truly made our night even better. Highly recommend — we will definitely be coming back! 👌🔥
