Came here for dinner, food was yummy. The saumon tartar, yellowfin tuna, and chicken bao buns were my favourite dishes of the night. Cocktails were also good. From seeing the rest of the restaurant I think the ramen is really the highlight.
As the restaurant is quite big and there’s only 1 bar it takes a big longer to get the cocktails. Also the inside is very cute and has little stools to fit the vibe, however they aren’t very comfortable.
Overall a nice spot!

Last night I went to Ichigo Ichie Izakaya, a Japanese izakaya in Montreal whose name translates to “this time only”… a reminder that every moment, and every meal, is meant to be experienced fully. It’s written right on the menu, and somehow the food actually lives up to that philosophy.
I was there with my friend Farzy, who was invited to shoot content for the restaurant. She brought me along because I’m a hand model, a food lover, and honestly… we just always have a good time together. That energy matters. The night felt relaxed, unrushed, and very present.
We ordered a mix of cold dishes, hot plates, and noodles.
The Yuzu tuna tataki was bright and clean, with just enough citrus to wake up your palate without overpowering the fish.
The hamachi was the standout for me… genuinely melt-in-your-mouth, silky, and balanced. One of those dishes that makes you pause between bites.
For hot dishes, we shared the yakiniku épicé. I loved the flavor and the spicy sauce, but the cut itself was a bit too fatty for my personal taste. Still good, just chewier than what I usually go for.
The gindara (black cod), on the other hand, was everything you want it to be… buttery, delicate, and deeply comforting. Beware of the fish bones though…
We also tried the carbonara udon. I’ll be honest, I’m not an udon noodle girl. I prefer thinner, less chewy noodles. But the flavor was nice. The bacon pieces were thick, crispy, and cubed nicely. Farzy asked for Japanese BBQ sauce on the side and we drizzled it over for a bit of sweetness, which made the dish work much better for me. That’s something I appreciate… being able to tweak a dish to your taste at the table.
For drinks, I had the Shiso Sour, which was refreshing and light… the kind of cocktail that cuts through rich dishes really well.
Farzy had the Mango Majin Buu in the mocktail version, which looked fruity , refreshing , and fun.
There is always room for dessert even when you are stuffed so even though my jeans were tighter around my stomach at this point we decided to order a sweet treat. The tiramisu was great… it was light , creamy, and balanced, not overly sweet, the kind that feels comforting without being heavy. The monaka aisu, with its crisp wafer shell, red bean mochi , and green tea ice cream, was cool, delicate, and quietly satisfying.
The space itself is intimate, with small tables set fairly close together, so it can get lively and a bit loud as the night goes on. That said, I loved the atmosphere. The decor is beautiful, with murals of geishas and Asian-inspired artwork lining the walls, giving the room a warm, transportive feel. It’s the kind of place where the energy feels buzzing rather than chaotic… especially if you enjoy being surrounded by conversation and movement.
One thing I noticed quickly is that Ichigo Ichie is connected to the Michelin-recognized ramen spot Yokato Yokabai Ramen, and you can customize a ramen as part of the experience. A lot of tables around us were ordering ramen alongside the izakaya dishes.
Service was warm, the pacing felt intentional, and the menu offers something for different tastes… whether you love rich dishes, lighter bites, or playful cocktails and mocktails.
I share local gems and cultural eats over on IG @foxyappetite and Tik tok @foxy.appetite, and this one truly earned its place.

The food was amazing and full of flavour!
The only downsides were that we were seated extremely close to another couple (they were also on a date), so we could hear their entire conversation and they could probably hear ours as well. Also, the portions are a bit on the smaller side.
That said, the restaurant itself is very nice and we would definitely come back to try more of the menu! 🙂

Excited to eat here but disappointing. I’d recommend skipping this restaurant. I’ve lived in Japan and eaten tons of ramen. My wife is Japanese. This is not authentic or what you want if you are looking for anything authentic. Not sure how they got a Michelin Star rating or why people would wait 30-45mins to eat here. Service was not so great. Food overpriced. Server asked us to wait in the basement near the bathrooms until a table was ready??? Should have left at that point. We ordered karaage which was the best part of our meal. It was well done but normal quality you find at any Japanese restaurant. However it was brought to our table with no plates. Had to request them. Server barely came to our table. Ramen was no where near the quality of real Japanese ramen. Chashu was diced which is weird and broth was not delicious or salty enough. Thin noodles were too thin and thick normal noodles you usually get for most ramen. Teriyaki was yummy but not salty enough. Overall disappointed with our eating experience here. Check came out to $85 which we thought was crazy high for the level of service and quality of ramen.

Me and my bestie came here for the Umeshu (Japanese Plum Wine), but it was delish! Atmosphere was packed on Wednesday, Dec 17, 2025, so better RSVP in advanced. Food was fresh and fragrant but I loved the Chestnut Tiramisu. It’s about 10-20$ per food ordered, so I highly recommend coming here on a date, wedding celebration, or with friends. For food, it’s best to share unless you’re here for the ramen. Our order took a long time so the waitress offered us her own special shots drink, not pictured. (I ordered the cold takowasa, karaage, edamame, and tiramisu of the month which was chestnut. My friend ordered takoyaki and mochi doughnuts).

Came here for the hype and wasn’t disappointed. We went on a Friday night and yes the wait is real (1 hour). Service was great.
We sat upstairs and it started out somewhat calm/casual music but it got really loud quick once filled up. Only 1 bathroom stall for entire upstairs.
Food wise, I’d avoid the karaage as tasted bland. Takoyaki and ramen was delish. Get the ravioli add-on. The $7 pumpkin pudding was worth it.

Worth it for the atmosphere, but I wouldn’t wait around. I entered the waiting list around 19h on a Sunday from the ramen side entrance, and was notified of a 30-50 minute wait. I was seated at the bar, as preferred, 45 minutes later on the Izakaya side. The bartender was attentive and friendly to take my order for drinks and dinner. The Sapporo pints were excellent ($9) but unfortunately one of the three food items I ordered was not delivered. I had to ask two more times for the item until it arrived after I was finished eating the first two. (I ordered 3 items at the same time). I was still charged for the forgotten item, which was fine. Atmosphere was excellent, the food was average but priced according.

The ramen broth is excellent—really rich and flavorful. For dessert, the mochi balls are a must-try. I’d recommend waiting at the door right when they open to snag a seat more easily

Vibes and atmosphere were good and the food was great, too. Service was friendly and professional. Our table was tiny though. Hate when restaurants try to cram tiny two person tables into the middle section so everyone’s constantly walking around you and your table all the time. Not a good seating experience. Especially when you want to try several different dishes and have no space on the table.

Great isakaya to go and share food with friends! The resto was packed! The waitress recommended top dishes to share and we ordered 8 for 4 people. Was perfect, not overly full! The buns were big with juicy meat, squid, carbonara udon, tuna tataki, salmon, beef slices…
