Pointe St-Charles, Montreal-Southwest

Sushi Vegan/100% Plant-Based Vegan Options Asian Japanese Gluten-free Options

Review Summary

Shushu Haru draws strong praise for vegan dishes and memorable sushi, with many noting delicious, flavorful options, a well decorated space, and a convenient canal side location. At the same time, experiences vary: service is often described as slow or uneven, and several reviewers report a gap between online menus and what is actually offered, including changes after the dedicated dining room closed and the menu appearing elsewhere. The restaurant is sometimes considered pricey, though several comments say the quality justifies the cost when the kitchen delivers, while other critiques highlight oversized sushi pieces, the choice of rice types that can overpower flavors, and a tartare that some found dull or too salty. Dishes such as zaumon tartare are singled out for mixed results, while favorites like the bun, various vegan sushi options, and sides are celebrated. Desserts have sparked debate as well, with coconut panna cotta praised by some and strawberry panna cotta described as disappointing. Allergy concerns are mentioned in one review, and the overall tone ranges from enthusiastic to cautious, but the food is repeatedly said to carry the experience and leave room for return to explore more of the vegan menu.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Reviewers describe Shushuto Bar à Ramen + Tapas as a stylish, cozy spot with a vibrant atmosphere and a diverse menu that covers sushi, ramen, bowls and vegan options, with generous portions and creative twists like carbonara udon and duck mazemen. Drinks, including cocktails and saké, are often praised and the decor and overall vibe are highlighted as standout features, making it a popular choice for date nights, gatherings and brunch. The food generally pleases, though a few comments point to inconsistency or items that feel pricey for the value, and some desserts or plates are disappointing. Service is frequently described as attentive and friendly, with fast and helpful staff, but several visits mention slow pacing, occasional ordering mishaps or loud noise in busy periods and parking can be challenging nearby. Reservations are advised for dinner, while lunch and brunch are easier to drop in for, and many reviewers express they would return to try more items given the variety and strong flavors.View restaurant profile
