We came here without booking and were extremely lucky to benefit from a no show. We were a party of 4.
After being seated we were promptly given water and a drinks order taken. We had a MR. POPO cocktail while the server explained that it was a tapas style restaurant with Japanese food. We were given recommendations of certain dishes, but was offered a 'tasting menu' to fully experience most of the food on offer. The tasting menu was about $45 per person.
All of the food was full of flavour and extremely enjoyable. The food was fresh and well seasoned, along with perfect ingredient combinations. My favourite was the black gyoza and pork rib. All the pictures I've added show every dish included in the tasting menu.
The evening was so enjoyable and we were looked after throughout. We topped the evening off with a sake.

I enjoyed the food : the cold ramen salad was tasty, the spicy salmon tartare also (although there could have been more salmon), the macha cake with passion fruit mousse and crumble was surprisingly good. Overall very happy with my choices.
Portions aren’t always very big so depending on your appetite you may want to buy more than one thing.
Nice spot even if I find it a little expensive for lunch (ended up costing almost 40$).

I think so far this is my favorite Japanese restaurant. I had the suika, watermelon salad, salmon bonbons, salmon with spicy caramel and the unagi yakitori, eel bbq, all delicious and very original. The service is super, everybody very kind. Loved my Hotie cocktail. Thanks all!

This spot is a nice jaunt from St. Catherines so perfect for grabbing a bite after or before shopping. Although our server told us that the plates are for sharing, I am sad to report they are not. Too small. We had the karaage, agedashi, gyoza porc to start. All items were yummy and freshly made. The gyudon had too much mayonnaise so not my favourite but I know this is the style that most people like. The rice bowls are too pricey ($4.95) as in other restaurants rice is a side dish and 1/2 the price. My favourite dish was the cote de porc and watermelon salad. The pork rib was perfectly slow cooked and the watermelon salad was an explosion of flavours. Delicious.

At the entrance identity check to verify that there is no minor in the group, I don't know if it's legal but it's done with little tact!
Then you have to go quickly, order quickly and above all eat quickly, all the dishes arrive at the same time it seems that this is the formula so by definition either you are an ogre or you eat certain dishes cold. If you make a remark, we don't listen to you directly, we take away something from the bill... the manager's attitude is one of explaining, not listening: as a result, his team is not doing a good job. In short, avoid it unless you are in a hurry and especially if you don't leave a tip to indicate that you are not satisfied, the whole team looks at you like a criminal, too bad because some dishes are good.

A friend and I recently had an amazing lunch at Biiru restaurant in downtown Montreal. The food and the service were both excellent as was the ambience in the restaurant. Between us, we ordered the Black Gyoza (pork, shrimp and black mushroom rolled together), Veggie Gyoza (veggie ravioli with Gyoza sauce), Candied Salmon, Karaage (fried chicken, yuzu and black pepper mayonnaise) and Pokuribu 2.0 (glazed pork ribs). The Candied Salmon, and Pokuribu dishes were absolutely amazing and a real highlight. The Veggie Gyoza and Karaange were excellent as well.
We ended lunch with a shared serving of Matcha Passion Cake - extremely tasty,
This was the first time my friend and I had been to Biiru but we will be back. The food experience was amazing!

I was in for lunch last week and it is best to arrive early if you don't want to reserve, before the place fills up. There is the tucked away second floor patio and inside the restaurant is nice too, very cozy. I had the cheese brochettes with beef (cheese wrapped in a thin covering of beef) which were very tasty, and a Japanese crepe that had crisp cabbage inside and half the crepe I ended up taking hame, so their small plates aren't that small, and ginger beer was gingery and refreshing.

Impossible to pay other than with a card, which in addition to being illegal, restricts everyone's freedom. .
Very attentive service
Very average food, because we don't know exactly what's in it, for a lot of dishes..
So I don't think I'll go back or suggest it.

Yum. Great food, drinks and service. The eel was a particularly delightful dish. Okonomyaki with truffle oil was very nicely done. Highly recommend for a chill but delicious dining experience.

Had the pleasure of speaking with Isabelle to make the reservations. A request for a specific table was honoured. The restaurant has a very cool vibe, seating is comfortable and the outdoor terrace is especially lovely. Service was really great from the entire team. Amy and a gentleman named Mailij (sp?) were exceptional. Amy was kind, informative, made excellent recommendations, was attentive without being intrusive, perfect! Mailij was equally as helpful and wonderful. The Gyozas, Tarutaru, Maguro Poke, Haru Karaage, Pokuribu and Gyudon all out of this world!! Prepared in an extremely creative way, unlike any other restaurant. Sauces are so flavourful, light, fragrant, mouthwatering! Thank you Biiru! Cheers!🥂

Please trust your waiter and forget about the menu. The food was amazing and the beer ice cold. Will return.

I was craving real dumplings since I came back from Japan. This is the place. Authentic Japanese food. Delicious cheese dumplings. Great ramen. Absolutely loved this place. Then even have Asahi.

Described as “Funky Japanese izakaya dishing up traditional small plates & drinks from cocktails to sake & soju.” and I would agree. Popular so again would recommend reservation.
I had a few small plates and matcha cake for desert washing it down with a Sapporo.
All good. Service was quick too. I sat at the bar, not sure if that makes a difference.
Small downside.. as hip as the place is, I'm sure not everyone enjoys staring at the waiters underwear with the so often see low hanging jeans younger people feel comfortable with. Get a belt please. But that won't spoil the place for me and I will come back. Actually tried 2 days later but couldn't get a seat.
