Review Summary
≈ 2.9 km
Biru Biru draws a mixed but generally positive buzz for fresh sashimi, flavorful sushi, and a lively cozy vibe, with many reviewers praising the wide all you can eat options and good value, especially when promotions are on and the ordering process via QR is convenient. Food quality and presentation are highlighted as strong points, and the atmosphere and staff friendliness are repeatedly mentioned. However experiences vary: some guests report fast, attentive service and efficient pacing, while others describe slow or detached service, forgotten or misdelivered items, and pressure to tip or pay, as well as issues with pricing, language barriers, and inconsistent attention after the first round. Some reviews mention lunch menu limitations or occasional quality dips, others defend Biru Biru as among the best AYCE sushi in Montreal. Overall the place comes across as a popular, enjoyable spot with freshness and ambiance at its core, but with notable fluctuations in service and value from visit to visit.View restaurant profile
