text: If this is the best Japanese yakitori of Montreal or Eastern Canada has some low standards for Japanese food Granted I did not have high expectations coming in I came in hungry tired wanting some food Also came in with the understanding that it will not be nyc level or la or even chicago got to experience kazu from the barnnThe good nFood comes out fast Less than five minute wait from ordering nNice enough workers nnThe bad nLong lines in cold rainy weathernSat at the bar and found that NO food was really grilled or made on the spot In fact all of the food was premade and essentially assembled hence fast turnaround time from your order The shrimp burger was a premade patty heated on the grill but it did not sizzle sizzle like all burgers should And the pork for their ramen was precooked and heated under the stove Pretty disappointing that they do not even sear it at any point nThe hour pork was essentially pork over rice It was much like the food at Yoshinoya Japanese fast food but definitely underwhelming and not that warm nSalmon and Tuna bowl was more rice than anything with small bitesize pieces of salmon and tuna It was not bad but it fell short of anything standoutnnAll in all having any sort of Asian cuisine is a break from the heavy albeit delicious food of Montreal Would I come back And have to wait Not really This place is packed and does well on its own so people must not be too demanding However I will just bring a nice shin ramen cup and be sated the next time I am i the city hankering for something Asian
