Thazard

A friend and I were in the mood for some good old ramen so we decided to grab an early dinner at this spot, located on the main, on a Wednesday evening. Walking into this industrial chic Japanese eatery, we opted for the long bar in the back of the restaurant which offers very comfortable leather seating with full back; yeah!

We started with a few cocktails which happened to be marked down to 5$  for happy hour (look for the star on the drink menu!); I opted for a cocktail called "same same but different" which is basically a bourbon and lime but also has a mint, Thai basil and a red chilli. I so enjoyed this drink, great flavourful and a little kick, really got the evening started on the right foot.

We ordered some appetizers to share, including a "smashed cucumber" dish, and a mango salad. Both dishes were very well prepared, tasty, and fresh. I certainly liked the use of herbs to add depth to the dishes; the coriander and fish sauce on that cucumber plate were fantastic, yet so simple! For the mains, I opted for the "spicy noodles" while my friend went for the "thazard"; we both slurped those bowls clean! I loved the porchetta and enoki mushrooms in mine, and the spicy oil added just enough kick but didn't have you crying; the broth was delicious, the noodles were perfection, and besides the egg that kinda disappeared in the noodle dish leaving me with just pieces of egg white, I thoroughly enjoyed it! My friend raved about the pork and sprouts in her bowl; definitely a winner as well...

Overall, great dining experience; good service and delicious food. This place offers a great atmosphere too so definitely on my list of hits!

I got the thazard ramen here. The ramen had sesame, a lot of green onion, and hakata (thin noodles). There were a lot of white sesame and green onion in it and it made the broth tasted very strong of sesame. The broth was also blend and a bit too salty. I would get the ramen if I were hungry, but would not recommend if you are looking for something tasty or a good culinary experience.

The food is great and I love their terrace.

I love love love their ramen soup base, simply delicious!

Another tip: Salmon sashimi is a winner.

Thazard is a nice bistro with a great ambiance. The menu, concocted by Japanese chef Hachiro Fujise, is playful and inventive. Prices are reasonable, and even more so during lunchtime.

It is the perfect place for twenty or thirtysomethings to sip cocktails, and have meaningless conversation over a nice fushion meal.

We had a really really great meal here this week, I am so glad to have a cozy delicious new place in the neighbourhood! Sunday night at 7:30 the restaurant was about half full when we arrived, and the length of the bar was full of folks who work in nearby kitchens and bars - always a good sign.

We started with a cocktail and beer - short original list of both, affordable and very very good. We shared the octopus, chicken, salade tiede, and a big bowl of spicy ramen served with two small bowls for sharing. The ramen broth was rich and the noodles firm and I will go back often just to dunk myself repeatedly in bowls of this. The salade tiede was the highlight though, maybe because it was so unexpected, French and Japanese flavours with delicious roasted vegetables. Like crazy good.

The service was friendly, smart and prompt, and I love the calm look of the room where any type of quiet meal or celebration would feel welcome. The only minor off note in the decor is the glaring fluorescent lights from the kitchen - these are only visible from a few spots in the room but if that's where you're seating they're a buzz kill. But whatever, the food was awesome, loved it, will be back often.

I went to this place a few months ago with a friend and we got seated at the bar.

The ambiance in general is casual but it has that nice classy vibe.
We tried a few items on their menus and most of the dishes was all right. They serve fusion asian dishes so do not expect authentic flavors. It is good to try out what these fusions can create and I was content with it. I wasn't sure about the ramen tho... But then I cannot pin point what made me not like it.

Cocktails was on point! Nothing more to say!

As for the services, there is nothing much to say either. They were there when we needed them. It was fast and efficient.

The food here was excellent and the service was amazing. The menu choices are very interesting and full of taste.

The twists on Western food are descent and not too out there and the more traditional Izakaya is very good. I also like the choices they bring around on the Giridon.

The layout is modern Izakaya with lots of seats close together but still some separate seating for the less community oriented people.

Everyone should try this place!

Thazard is a fusion of Japanese,  Korean cuisine. The specialty is Ramen a soup with noodles porc & vegetables.  They also have a variety of entrées. The problem with this resto are few, I wanted to try the chef plate which was 31$ I couldn't since I had to order for 2 people. I hate restrictions especially when I am paying for my food. Their calamari salad was extremely rubbery you can throw it on the wall & it will rebound .  Their mango salad lacked mangos  (couldn't find them) & was oily. The salmon sashimi was average & the Ramen was dissapointing. For the price of their dishes, i definitely think it's over priced. The experience was very poor. I don't recommend this place at all.

Nice little discovery not far from home. We were a group of 6 so we ordered a bunch of different starters to share. The gyozas (with their respective sauce) were all good and tasty. We also had tempura shrimps, light, despite it is obviously fried, with also a nice sauce. We had brisket steamed buns as main course, it was so good we ordered more. Would go again for sure. Staff was really nice and patient with us and offered shots at the end of the evening.

Went there for the MTL a Table. A menu for 31$ and any cocktail was about 10$.

Food quality was maybe a 7/10 at most for me, but what really killed it for me was the length of the service and the quality.

Yes, it is a 5 service menu, but we didn't have many choices, so us staying there for 4h was unacceptable.

After ordering, the MINI soup came first (the only option available), that alone took 30 minutes.

Every meal took at least 30 minutes to come and were all bite-sized.

Took the waiters about 3 hours to notice we were out of water.

At the end, while we left the tips that we think they deserved, asked us what was wrong and we decided to be honest, they really didn't take critism well at all.

I simply cannot recommend this to any of my friends, I'm sorry.
