text: I had been looking forward to trying out Kazu after reading a positive review in Montreal Mirror last week but unfortunately they were closed for renovations the first time I popped by Thankfully they are back in business and it was definitely worth the second trip outnnUpon entering the restaurant my friend and I were greeted with a friendly round of irasshaimase which means welcome in Japanese and is something you will hear every time you enter a restaurant or store in Japan Off to a good startnnI already knew I wanted to try the salmon and tuna bowl based on reviews I would read and my friend settled on a bowl of ramen I believe this is only on the lunch menu The salmon and tuna bowl was delicious and I am pretty sure this will be my standby meal at Kazu because yes I will be returning It was composed of rice a good sized serving of tuna and salmon sashimi and salad all topped with a sesame dressing and some crunchy noodles My friend enjoyed her ramen and we both agreed that the broth was not too salty at all nnAll in all with the traditional decor friendly staff and tasty food I am sure this is a restaurant I will return to again and again which is encouraged by the owner who will shout out see you tomorrow as you leavennNB They only accept cashnnUpdate I have been here twice now and there was a lineup the last time I went around dinner time It is a pretty tiny restaurant so it fills up quick and you may end up seated at the bar But despite the extra heat from the open kitchen I like being able to see all the food prep Just be prepared to wait a bit to get in looks like words gotten out
