Absolute gem of Winnipeg. Quite a varied menu of Japanese dishes anywhere from ramen, don buri, curry rice, yakisoba and the gamut of appetizers. The food portions were on the more plentiful side. The service was so pleasant and the cute decor really enhanced the experience.

Small but cozy place to have unique looking food that my family enjoyed. The Christmas special platters were very adorable and tasty.Great vibe to sit and catch up with family and friends.

Great Japanese food in St Boniface with a cute gift shop above.The menu is extensive with many different Japanese plates to choose from. We had the Green Onion & Sesame Sauce Takoyaki, Spicy Chicken Katsu Yakisoba, and Teriyaki Mayo Karaage Don. The highlight was the spicy chicken katsu, the sauce was excellent and the breading was just the right amount of crispy.The portion sizes were large and ended up taking enough home another full meal. The prices were affordable, especially given the amount of food. For two people, it would be reasonable to share one appetizer and one main dish.The staff were very friendly and the food was served impressively fast. The decor is an eclectic mix and the furniture was a bit uncomfortable; however, this was not an issue. We enjoyed taking a walk through the gift shop upstairs after our dinner.We look forward to returning to Dwarf no Cachette to try more of their menu, including their ramen and okinomoyaki. Based on our first experience, we recommend it!

Would love to give this place 5 stars because it's so cute inside, but the karaage don was good, not amazing. I would still go here again though to try other stuff on the menu. They have really cool ideas for drinks. I love the Zelda themed drinks, they were adorable. But there was a mix up when I tried to order the apricot Zelda drink. On the online menu it was red, but when I received it, the drink was blue which caused some confusion, hopefully that gets fixed in their menu. Overall I enjoyed my visit here.

My first time back since COVID, and the food, ambiance, and gift shop are still perfect! If you love good food, cute cafe vibes, and friendly staff, you have to go here.

This is my favourite restaurant in the country, if not the world. I loved it so much the first time, I returned every day for the rest of my stay in Winnipeg to try out as much as possible from their extensive menu.Everything I tried was delicious, without exception. The menu options are authentically Japanese, and are sometimes adjusted to Western tastes.The Russian Roulette takoyaki was a lot of fun because you don’t know when you’ll eat the super spicy one! The shoyu abura soba might be my favourite dish. The gyoza are handmade. The teriyaki meat sauce korokke was hearty. The onigiri was bigger than expected, and could be a meal in itself. The chicken katsu was impossibly crispy. The black sesame jelkshake will turn your うんち black. Sorry… TMI.The portions are big so bring your appetite or a friend to share with. Great value for your money! I ate like a 豚 the four times I went.The service was friendly and the decor is nice. You wouldn’t know it’s a Japanese restaurant. Until Japan reopens its borders to tourism, we can be grateful to have a restaurant like this one in Canada! ありがとうございます!

Cute place, great location. Service could be faster and more attentive, but they are knowledgeable. Lots of carb-heavy and/or fried foods - not a lot of healthy options on the menu. We also sampled the black sesame cheesecake which not only didn't taste remotely like black sesame, but had also unfortunately picked up other flavours from the cooler :(Overall, a good experience, but there are other places I'd return to before coming back here.

Good Japanese food. ServiceCan be improved by being friendly. Needs deep cleaning on the floor coz it looks and feelsSticky. The little gift shop upstairs was kinda dusty. Some interior update/Renovation is needed to look neat and presentable in my opinion. Parking only in the street with limited time.

Went here for the first time. The service was good and we really liked the tempura but on our second visit, the shrimp tempura had too much flour.On a side note, they had big portions of their ramen. The broth was good but it wasn’t the best in my opinion.

I visited this restaurant by a recommendation for Japanese Izakaya food. There were about 10 of us and was pleasantly surprised that they had room when we showed up at around 6-7pm. I made sure to call beforehand though just in case.[VIBE]It's a cute and quirky little restaurant featuring gnomes and dwarf decor arrangements. It was cozy inside and on the top floor, there was a local gift shop. The shop sold cute little knick-knacks from handmade jewelry, pins, to anime buttons and stickers.[SERVICE]The service was pretty good for having to deal with all 10 of us and we didn't have to wait too long to get seated. The only downfall was that one of the drinks we ordered didn't quite match up to the description of the menu on their website we ordered from. Some of the food items or specials on the website were not on the menu either but were still available to order.[FOOD]What we were intentionally drawn with by choosing to eat at this restaurant were the playful drinks. The Zelda themed drinks were fun and we would have no idea about these drinks if not for checking the website.Onigiri Combo (Takoyaki) - 3 choices of onigiri which I chose 1.tuna mayo, 2. karage, 3. shrimp tempura and it came with a miso soup and 6 pieces of regular takoyaki. The onigiris were HUGE and I ended up only being able to finish one and taking the rest home to go. The takoyaki came out with floating pieces of the bonito flakes waving in the air, as expected. The miso soup was very rich in flavor and I don't think I ever had sesame in miso soup before.[DRINKS]Milkshake Shingen-mochi with Black Sugar Syrup - This drink is very delicious and sweet with the black sugar syrup and chewy mochis.Master Sword - Cold sake, Calpico, and club soda mix with a master sword iced jelly. The master sword jelly gets floppy pretty quickly when left out too long, so it's best to take the pics quick and then stir the drink with the master sword.Hearty Elixir - Peach Redbull and red coloring. It's a tangy and pretty refreshing drink for the summer.Blue Jelly Sake Soda - I found the blue jelly was fun to stir around in my drink, but the blue jelly itself tasted pretty bland and not that great with the sake. It's nice for photos only.Apple Popping Boba Sake - This was an alright tasting drink and it only made it better with the popping bobas! The light hitting the bobas made the drink look radioactive and was fun to take pics of.I would go here again just to try their other dishes. Everything looked and sounded so good, we all had trouble choosing what to get!IG:missasia.pattyc
