I give it a 5 star simply because the sushi was super fresh, and the tartare quickly became a fav dish. The salad was excellent and the service was friendly. They did forget our edamame but we were over it as soon as we started eating.
EDITED down two stars after 2nd meal. Consistency is key and this time the bad outweighed the good. The Bad: Found a hair top of my bowl. Two gentlemen were smoking in front of entrance so I had to walk through their smoke to order food. Kinda gross. I pulled out a plate's worth of rotten lettuce from the bowl. All around horrible experience.
We used to order often and loved it. The last 2 orders weren't good at all. Today, the fish smells super strong and isn't look fresh. Bad quality, weird taste, brown avocado. I don't know what happened overtime, but it got bad.
It's been a while since I went to an "A la Carte" sushi restaurant for take out. We picked up 2 combo and a wonton soup for lunch for 1 adult and a 7-year old which I find pricey for the quantity you get. They offer free delivery, and price would have been more acceptable, if delivered. There was nothing fancy, but the food was fresh. The soup was bland and was from the fridge, hence they had it heated up in the microwave. Parking is a hastle, but there are metered parking on the street. Driving back, I picked up a couple of fried chicken pieces from a nearby restaurant and happy that I did, as the quantity of sushi would certainly not have been enough.
What a great new addition to the neighborhood, and in such an unlikely place. Montreal, especially at this time of the year is notorious for cold , damp and gloomy weather. But the moment we walked into this surprisingly cozy little place below the stairs, the cheery warmth, clean set up and delicious smells of good things cooking was enough to let us know we'd found another winter-time hide-away. The decor is austere and tasteful, with a single wall mural of a blossom which was beautiful. The restaurant is kept clean, and there's a television hanging up in the corner for those perfect solo outings when one just has to find solace from a busy world. The two who served us were warm, helpful, and very friendly . The menu I was handed was well-written, printed and had informative pictures and terrific prices. There's a varied assortment of classic offerings from Sashimi to tartare with even an ambitious pizza on the menu. Their Soya sauce is not overly salty and has a slightly sweet flavor I've come to love and which, to me, shows a good level of care. We ordered avocado rolls which were plump and fresh. The rolls rolls themselves were created skillfully and with care. Rice was fresh, adhered properly to the ingredients, with no ugly gaping spaces. I'd only suggest that they be careful with ends, as the last bite, should be just as filled with delicious ingredients as the first : So far we've had the California fresh and generous with ingredients the Ebi Folie deeper flavors with shrimp and masago and a little spicier and, because we were so happy with what we ate, ordered a third one after we finished, the Kamika, with spicy salmon which hit the spot. So many offerings calling out to us, pizza and rolls which we are anxious to taste. We will indeed return. Recommended
1st time to try the sushi here, I ordered combo with 10 nigirs, tuna niki and cone. The sushi are fresh. I enjoyed my experience.
This is hands-down the best sushi place in Montreal - super fresh ingredients, innovative flavor combinations white tuna + mint + mango anyone?, and decently sized portions for the price especially for the poke bowls - they put in a ton of different vegetables!. My husband and I refuse to eat sushi anywhere else now.
Considering that a maki roll is only 7-8$ this is very good! I highly recommend the futomakis too
I've been uber eats-ing this place for ages now, it's my go to sushi delivery restaurant. Everytime it's a great balance of price and quality. Sushi rolls are delicious and well made.
Loved it.... There combos with avacado and mangos and shrimp... Man it's just a delicious
