Kazu was so good, we went here twice in a weekend visit to Montreal - once for dinner, and once for lunch.\n\nThe place was packed at dinner time, and we waited about an hour for two seats at the bar, but after sitting down at watching the chefs work their magic behind the bar, the wait time was completely forgotten. \n\nWe had the gyoza, which was grilled, and the yummy crunchy parts left on, and a couple of chu-hi cocktails to start with. It's still hard (although getting easier!) to find a bar that serves shochu, so this was really exciting. \n\nWe also had the tuna and salmon bowl, and although you might first wonder where your fish is, it's hiding under all the leafy greens. I enjoyed both the salmon and the tuna, but tuna will always be my one true fishy love, and I kinda wished they had a tuna-only option. \n\nWe also had the okonomiyaki and a couple of yakitori skewers. One of the best parts of the meal was watching, and smelling, all the different foods being cooked behind the bar. If you're a small party, and you have the chance, sit at the bar!\n\nOne last bit of advice - although they do take debit cards and cash, they do not take credit cards in any way shape or form. Don't screw up like I did and have to run and get some cash halfway through the meal. \n\nWe came back the next day for lunch, because I really wanted to try their ramen. We lined up a few minutes before they opened, and we still ended up waiting a good 30 minutes for seats at the bar. \n\nEven though I try to order different things than my partner, we both got the ramen because it looked so good! The broth was fantastic, and the pork was so soft and juicy. My only issue was that the noodles were a little thicker than I usually see in ramen, and I thought they were a little undercooked. \n\nOther than that, two perfect meals in Montreal.
