Japote - Montréal

The food was delicious, fresh, and incredibly affordable—I only spent $10! Be sure to bring cash and arrive early, as it tends to get quite busy, and their hours are very limited. Kid-friendly: It's located in a food court.

The food is outstanding, especially considering the price. The service is excellent as well. The portion sizes are smaller than what you might find in American restaurants, but they are more in line with typical serving sizes in Japan, which makes perfect sense.

Delicious, budget-friendly, and guaranteed to brighten your day! I ordered the #3 medium, which was just the right portion and incredibly tasty! The two owners were beaming with joy, and their happiness was truly contagious. I enjoyed their variety of sauces and highly suggest adding a croquette on the side. I would definitely recommend this spot if you’re in the area—just remember to bring cash!

Charming spot for warm and cheap lunch. Amazing and nostalgic flavors. Closes early so get your food before too late!Edit: They only take physical cash, make sure to grab a 20$ at an ATM nearby

Montreal has a lot of hidden gem spots, but this is my favourite. Simple, cheap, and AUTHENTIC Japanese food. The quality you get for the price you pay is simply unheard of nowadays. A great spot to stop for a quick lunch if you are in the area. Wish it was open in the evening though.
