Kazu (lunch)

You want to feel Japan Izakaya. You want real japanese food made by real Japanese.Kazu is the place to go. The place is quite crownded, around 4 tables of 3 to 4 people and a counter that can accommodate uo to 8 people I think. Because it is small, its popularity has brought so many food lovers to wait in line. It can be hours of waiting outside in the cold. But as summer is coming soon, it will better to wait while the temperature is warm. So if you want to try their homemade "ramen" (pork or chicken), you must be there before the opening which is 12:00pm.

For lunch, they have a lunch menu. The little appetizers I tried were the pork cheeks and homemade tofu.

The homemade tofu is cold with a salad on top.

Stars: 3/5

 The pork cheek is okay. Stars: 3.5/5

If I compare the ramen noodle to the one in Japan, it is just okay, but in Montreal, it is actually one of the best. They have bamboo in the soup, I don't like that flavor, but the soup is still yummy. The egg is semi-raw (the color is orange), I love it that way.

 Stars: 4/5

Or you can maybe try my favorite : the Salmon Bowl (lunch) or Salmon/Tuna Bowl (dinner). The combinaison of different sauces makes it so tasty and unique.

 Stars: 5/5

The Sea Bass grilled (fish) is also pretty good. No bone and tjuicy. They use the same sauce for the salad like the Salmon Bowl.

Stars: 4.5/5
