Found this on our trip to Montville, we try Japanese restaurants wherever we go, and we were not disappointed. A tiny little place, tucked away, so limited seating, customer service was good and pleasant. The food was amazing. We had miso soup and edamame beans to start, the lamb ribs and beef shortcut ribs as our mains, the broth for the beef ribs was so delicious, both the beef and lamb ribs just melted off the bones, we could have eaten the meals twice over we just wanted more. Our only issue is that it's too far to come for another serve for us, but we will be back next time we come this way.

It's a casual Japanese restaurant nestled in the charming town of Montville with spectacular views. The dishes we tried were delicious. Karaage chicken don: karaage chicken was executed perfectly in my opinion. Tender on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Tonkatsu ramen: the flavour profile of the soup is slightly different from the classic tonkatsu flavours but still tasty and umami. The noodles had a good texture. Braised pork don: the braised pork was uber tender and juicy. Yum! Service was quick and efficient despite it being a very busy time.

Went in with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised by the level of care and excellence of the dishes. Expect comfortable and homey Japanese food done well. Flavours are very light as expected from authentic Japanese food. Everything that needs to be fried is fried to perfection. Don't miss the calamari and gyudon - favourites from everything we tried. The place is also beautiful and fitted well with interesting Japanese knick knacks. Definitely a must-visit when in Montville.

We chose EDAMAME at Montville for its convenient location and intriguing menu, and it did not disappoint. The friendly staff greeted us warmly and we were able to get a charming table with a view of the street, perfectly in keeping with Montville’s cozy aesthetic. As a huge fan of black sesame, I was thrilled to find a black sesame latte on the menu, and it was hands down the best I’ve ever tasted. My chicken karaage bento was a fantastic choice—a perfect ‘mini banquet’ with a wonderful variety of flavours. My partner’s chicken katsu curry was also reportedly delicious. I would happily and enthusiastically return to this charming spot.
