Marusan Comptoir Japonais - Montréal

********* I can't believe I still haven't rated my favorite place right nowI work from the Crew café so I'm here at least once or twice a week.

I recently tried the omakase dinner at this restaurant and it was a fantastic experience.

Came here a few times for both lunch and dinnerThe ambiance is completely different.

A delightful discovery close to our hotel - the unusual Japanese menu is what drew us to check this place out. And though we weren't hungry, all the mouthwatering options just sounded too good to pass up. And they didn't disappoint. Definitely try the Tantan Udon. The sausage appetizer was part of a special menu but maybe they'll make them permanent because it's worth trying! Do the non-fried dishes over the fried ones because the flavors are so rich and worth tasting- don't let the fried dishes kill that off. Definitely go!

I am uncertain about this restaurant. Firstly, the music is excessively loud, and it is techno music playing. It is not conducive to enjoying a meal. Additionally, the staff is too friendly and overly attentive, to the point of making some people uncomfortable. As for the food, I ordered the fried chicken, which was supposed to come with rice and a "nice salad" for a little over 15$ including taxes. However, what I received was 5 small pieces of fried chicken resembling chicken nuggets with dark, slimy meat. The accompanying rice was minimal, and the "nice salad" consisted of just a few wilted arugula leaves and a halved cherry tomato. This disappointing meal did not justify the price. Overall, I believe it is overrated and lacks value and quality.
