Reviews of Dwarf no Cachette Café & Gift (Restaurant)

Yuliya Kharitonova

Their Sakura Milkshake is a must-taste as well as their Chocolate Melonpan near the heart of Provencher.

Great food, best donut I've ever had for dessert.

Ah Rin Park

Had butter chicken, chicken yakisoba and seafood yakisoba. I’d give it a 6/10 as I’ve never had any good experience with their entrees ~ unless I have their ramen. However, their dessert menu is spectacular! Best matcha cheesecake in town ^w^

Terry Proveau

The food is good. Nothing special though. The takoyaki was kind of soggy which was really disappointing. The Katsu Curry was standard and so was the fried noodles.

Have eaten here and wasn’t Inlove. Too much mayo but people stand by this place. The place smells and my daughter refused to eat here. The gift store was sad.

All of their dishes that we've ordered are good, especially the Cream Cheese Takoyaki. I would also say that they serve one of the best Okonomiyaki in town! 5/5 on aesthetics and taste, the only downside for me is the waiting time, it wasn't even busy when me and my partner went in fact there were only 3 tables were occupied...

I love the food at Dwarf. Portions are generous and the flavours fantastic. I highly recommend the okonomiyaki - I usually get the chicken and pork. The gyoza are also among the best I’ve had in Winnipeg.

I've been waiting so patiently for their dine in to open and tonight's food dishes didn't disappoint ❤ Food was prepared quickly and was so delicious ???? Just a recommendation but would be a good idea to hire more waiters/waitresses ????

huge menu selection, drink selection and dessert selection and everything sounded so good I couldn’t decide what I wanted to get. Came with a group of 5 people and everyone got different apps and different entrees and everyone LOVED everything. The croquette is the bomb dot com. Best I’ve ever had. And not the mention the place is cute af and brilliant food presentation. Fair prices, 10/10 recommend

Really good. Serves traditional Japanese home cooking. Have only had the ramen each time I've been here and it's consistently delicious. Very accommodating with adjusting existing menu items to meet vegetarian dietary needs. Staff is super friendly. Lovely cute decor with garden gnomes around. Had a milkshake once and it was super good. Would definitely have it again. Desserts on the menu looked really good but have not tried yet. Hopefully one day. One of our favourites in the city.

I tried Yakisoba with pork. Well, what they call "pork" is actually bacon, which I didn't want and which ruined the dish regardless had I been into bacon or not, because of the crazy amount of grease. Would I order from there again? The answer is a big maybe. But I wouldn't order anything with "pork".

Great service, relaxing atmosphere,tasty and cute food. Its Japanese style home cooking. Price is just right for the large portions you end up getting. I highly suggest trying out the various takoyakis they have. The desserts are also adorable. And apparently they have Maid and Butler nights if you into that.

A "Maid Cafe"! Excellent food, service a la Japanese Waitress Dress-up! We went on a Tuesday so an impromptu dance is a bonus! Superior Tempura, delicious ramen.

Rommel Luna H

Went there just to learn what that okonomiyaki food was all about (and why Ranma liked it so much), and now I understand: it was delicious! I almost wish he would end up with Ukyo. …

Hertz Vaughan

Culinary adventure in St Boniface. Unique and delicious menu that is a fusion of eastern and western traditions. Be prepared for new and exciting flavors. Portions are very large, so order accordingly. Desserts are fun and beautiful! Recommend.

Elisa

What a cute little restaurant in the heart of St. Boniface area. The ambience of the restaurant is very light with many aesthetics that will definitely make you smile. …

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 …

Highly recommend this place. The ramen is fantastic, and they have a diverse menu - including a sub category for Tantan Ramen if you’re into spicy soup base. Both my wife and I had a wonderful night out at this place.

Christian Narciso

One of the best places that offers Japanese food that's NOT sushi. The service is friendly and quick. The serving size is huge and the food is really delicious. I do not regret coming here and I'm sure I will come back over and over. ❤

Great authentic home style Japanese food. Big portion had to take some home! Nice gift shop upstairs too!

Mairko Kiralou Hamade

Very adorable atmosphere. Friendly staff. Delicious Japanese food, which outside of sushi can be hard to find in the city. Kawaii style desserts and drinks made to make you smile. You can tell the staff really cares. Wait time can be slower …

This is one of the few Japanese restaurants opened by a Japanese person in Winnipeg. Most are opened by people of other ethnicities. The flavor profile being actually Japanese (Korean Japanese food can taste different for example due to their sauces). I like coming for the shaved ice with ice cream. I prefer Taiwanese ice but this is the closest that I've found in Winnipeg. Their croquettes have more variety than most other places. I wish their milk shakes were cheaper though... I prefer the shaved ice personally. Please note, this is Japanese restaurant, but it does not serve sushi. Many of my friends like the ramen. It's one of the better placed in the city to get it. I usually order the sukiyaki udon hot pot. Be warned, it's a sweet soup stock similar to bulgogi sweet (that's a Korean dish) Don't forget to walk upstairs and check out the gift shop. It's nice to meander through to kill a few minutes while you're waiting for your food.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED HANDS DOWN THE BEST AUTHENTIC JAPANESE FOOD RESTAURANT IN WINNIPEG I'm not taking about sushi here, cause they don't have sushi here, we're talking about japanese dishes. I've been to Japan and this is the only restaurant in Winnipeg that serves exactly like the items you'd be eating in Japan. PROS • small but cute restaurant • has a gift shop upstairs for you to check out while you're waiting for your food or even after • dishes are decently priced and portioned bigger than usual • home cooked, high quality dishes • known for their desserts • barely any wait time to get seated • if you're a weeb like me, they have maid cafe nights (Tuesday evening only) that you'll most likely enjoy • they have daily specials if you follow them on instagram! CONS • good food takes times, meaning you'll be waiting a good 20 minutes before you get what you ordered • street parking • small space for seating areas • usually understaffed TRY MY RECOMMENDATIONS • egg teriyaki mayo takoyaki • dwarf miso ramen • chicken kaarage don • deluxe okonomiyaki • omurice curry cheese • hamburg steak curry • chicken katsu curry • chicken karaage curry (my personal favorite) trust me, you don't want to skip out on this restaurant!

Junko Bailey

It was great place to eat Japanese food!! They remained me of Japan. The lovely gift shop was also good!!

Charly Panelo

Presentation of the food was good, and service was ok. We tried the porkkatsu curry and the chicken Katsu don which both of them were deep fried, I tasted the batter to be a little bit sour from both my plate and my friend’s plate. I told the server, the server took my plate to the kitchen and came back saying that the cook said there was nothing wrong with it, And told me I can choose to not eat it if I don’t like... I personally didn’t like that, as for me the batter has turned bad and that’s where the sour taste came from. After leaving the restaurant.. for some reason I had to visit the washroom as my tummy was not feeling well. The service could have been better but they did not apologize or offer me sth else, just said that everything was fine, my friends also tried my plate and everyone said they could taste the sour flavour. I would not recommend this place and would definitely not come again.

One and only MAID CAFE in Winnipeg on Tuesdays. Great variety of modern Japanese food.

Serena Lam

Was an alright experience. Ordered the tantan ramen, takoyaki, okonomoyaki and croquette. The takoyaki was my favourite and very good. The rest were mediocre. I would say a good place to try something new in Winnipeg but is not up to par with restaurants in Vancouver/Toronto. Also the entrance doors do not self close and many people were flowing in and out without shutting the door that it got pretty cold inside. I wore my winter jacket the whole time during dinner.

Food was great I had it to go and I'm sure it would of tasted even better had I had it inside the restaurant.

Brooke-Lynne Seewald

By far the best place for Japanese cuisine! Other places I've had in the city don't come close! For small online order lunches at work, this is our go-to Japanese place. Portions are great and food tastes SO delicious!

Jared Lavallee

Amazing ramen and many other traditional Japanese dishes. Great atmosphere and waiting staff is very friendly. When we went in it was extremely busy, which is a clear indication that this is a great place to eat at. I definitely recommend this place to anyone!

A neat little joint in St.B. With a dizzying menu, there seem to be limitless amounts of delicious options to choose from. Unfortunately, the food did not taste as good as the pictures looked on their website...not bad, but my expectations …

Stopped in Winnipeg for one quick night and picked Dwarf no Cachette for dinner because of the rave reviews. While the menu is overwhelming, it made me want to order literally everything. We ordered delivery via skip the dishes so this review is just on the food, which was super duper quick. Got to us within 40 minutes. Of everything the ramen was the absolute best. Super delicious and plenty of stuff to add into the soup. It was a little difficult to eat as a takeaway because we had no way to combine the broth and the noodles, the broth container was full to the max, and obviously you don’t want to dump the broth into a cardboard box. With no bowl to mix the two, improvisation occurred, which is fine of course.. just annoying. I’d hope the udon was going to be a bit saucier, not that there was no flavor, but I was there for the noodles as the main event, and wanted more. The croquettes were super delicious, nice and fluffy and light. The Dango were very, very plain. While plain Dango is expected to be.. plain. I’d go for a flavored one next time because this was just a bit disappointing. Overall super happy with the choice to order from here. Maybe would have done some more research to figure out what their real winners are, but I ended the night full and happy, for not too much of a cost.

I love the friendly staff and delicious food!

Katie Heinrich

We stopped in on a whim because we were shopping close by! Such delicious food! A truly wonderful meal! I ordered the pork gyoza and chicken katsu yakisoba. The flavor was on point and everything was cooked perfectly! Would definitely come back for another meal and would recommend this place to others

Irman LL

They had good service and and good food, so I would definitely recommend it. They have a nice and relaxed atmosphere in there, and while it's a bit small (that is, not ideal for large parties), they have a surprisingly large menu. It's also not very expensive so it's good for dinner dates

Tyson

Love going here. Food and service is always great. Menu is vast and so I haven’t found my fav dish yet but I’ll keep searching! Russian roulette takoyaki is always fun.

Annie N

Very yummy food that we got as well as this amazing Sakura Jelkshake !! Very charming place, we will definitely be back to try more items

西新司

Great food and service and the waitresses also danced during dinner. The dancing was good but I thought it was unnecessary and made the customers uncomfortable.

Ramses Miki-Hanson

An incredibly interesting, cute, and quaint little place. Don't let the name mislead you, its very much a Japanese restaurant! From having lived in Japan, I've often missed certain dishes that most restaurants here simply don't serve. Dwarf has a variety of these dishes! Definitely worth checking out if you've never been!
