Côte-des-Neiges

Sushi Japanese Asian

Review Summary

Atami Sushi shines with delicious sushi and an impressive chef's choice lineup like pirate and geisha, inviting diners to focus on the real deal rather than decor. The atmosphere is enhanced by nice background music and a terrace upstairs that offers a pleasant summer view of the Oratoire St Joseph, while service remains courteous and attentive. Regulars praise it as a top among the best sushi spots and many have been returning for years. Flavors are generally strong with fresh sushi and creative plates, and while the teriyaki chicken is dependable and nicely balanced, some sides such as teriyaki vegetables can be overcooked and the shrimp tempura can feel a bit heavier than ideal, leaving room for refinement. Still, the overall experience leans positive with memorable plates, a friendly staff, and a welcoming vibe.View restaurant profile
