Restaurant Makoto - Sushi Restaurants in Little-Italy

Little-Italy, Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie

Mentioned in: Montreal's Best Asian Soups off the Beaten Path

Review Summary

Makoto draws praise for its welcoming staff, quick service and cozy ambiance, with favorites like bibimbap, kimchi jjigae, tofu dishes and teokkochi earning frequent compliments. The food is often described as flavorful with generous portions and reasonable prices, and miso soup and a simple salad come with meals. Several reviewers express disappointment with menu changes, missing items such as sundubu jjigae, beef seafood udon, fried chicken udon and the salad with ginger vinaigrette, hoping for their return. Some diners find the new side dishes less appealing and the chicken breading crumbly. A number of guests hope the restaurant will reintroduce elements of the old menu while still offering new options. Delivery experiences have shown that old versions can be accessed through the restaurant's ordering options, which helps bridge dine in and takeout. Overall Makoto is seen as a reliable, affordable option with tasty dishes and friendly service, though menu revisions have divided opinion and left regulars hoping for a balance between nostalgia and new ideas.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Musubi is praised for its beautifully crafted onigiri with a good balance of filling and rice, and for a friendly, attentive service at the Jean Talon Market alongside a solid beer selection; standout items mentioned include a spicy tuna onigiri, an original chicken onigiri, yuzunade, and seasonal specials like lobster and snow crab onigiri, with desserts such as daifuku and strawberry mochi also enjoyed. Opinions on value and portions are mixed, with some praising the portions as well balanced or not too heavy, while others call the prices high for the size and note fillings or fish can be dry and the seaweed a bit chewy. The atmosphere is described as a charming market stall, a hidden gem with a family-run vibe and staff who guide choices, contributing to a must-visit reputation for many. Overall Musubi stands out for authentic flavors and creative onigiri, offering both well-priced staples and seasonal specials, even as a few reviews wish for bigger fillings or lower prices.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Nozy is praised as an authentic Japanese spot in Montreal with exceptionally fresh sashimi, standout uni, perfectly cooked unagi, and well balanced chirashi and dons, all served in a warm, intimate, unpretentious setting that many reviewers compare to dining in Japan. The kitchen is noted for strong technique and thoughtful preparation, with high quality ingredients and good value for the price, and the ambience is described as chic yet relaxed. A few visits mention slower or inattentive service, occasional miscommunication about omakase or uni availability, and certain dishes that don’t meet expectations, but the consensus remains that Nozy is among the best Japanese options in Montreal and well worth a visit, albeit with some variability from visit to visit.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Reviews of Sawa Sushi present a mixed picture: delivery can take hours and some orders are not completed, while dining in is described as welcoming and comfortable. Taste feedback is broadly positive for sushi and poke, with fresh fish, crisp rice, and generous portions noted. A salmon poke bowl is praised for freshness and vegetables, but one report notes food poisoning after the salmon.
