Food Review: Imadake (Montreal)

Imadake is a Japanese restaurant located by Atwaters subway station in Montreal. Across the street from Place Alexis Nihon, you'll find this tapas Japanese goodness.


This is just a taste of what we had. 
Also, this was my favorite dish: Beef tataki with ponzu sauce ($9). It was melt-in-your-mouth tasty slices of tenderized beef.


I was pretty unimpressed with their take on Seaweed salad ($8). It had a lot more arugula and other leaves and very little seaweed. But, I must admit that the dressing was very tasty and not at all over-powering. It had a hint of peanut butter.


Imadake Stone Grilled Steaks ($15). The presentation was very nice but the taste was only o-k. There wasn't anything w-O-w about the meat.


White fish carpaccio ($10). Not as tasty as the beef tataki, but it was still pretty good. The fish was very fresh and paired with the caviar/green onion/sauce was delightful.


Korokke, Fried Chicken with wasabi mayonnaise ($8). This was a very unique and tasty fried chicken. The exterior had a roll in batter and peanuts. The texture was different and not all that bad. The wasabi mayonnaise was not spicy in any way.


And lastly on our menu, we ordered the Pork belly Ramen. Hmmm... maybe not as good as the Ramen made in Toronto. Or it could also be that after eating all the others, this was a very normal and not-so-special. The soup was indeed very tasty though.


The atmosphere reminds me of Toronto's Guu or Don Don, but with less noise. There's a lot of space and the shouting or sorts (i.e when someone orders a bomber sake) was very weak! haha sorry!


Overall, the food was very tasty!

3.8/5
