It's always a pleasure to come visit this sushi restaurant in west island Montreal, & it's absolutely the best in the area. The ambiance is very nice, music, cocktails list, bar, & of course the selection of my favourite sushi. The chef I think won some awards & guess what his sushi are one of the best in the city at all. Try martini cocktails with bessame mucho rolls & you won't regret

This restaurant has THE best sushi in West Island area, let alone anywhere in the Montreal. I have yet to taste anything that even compares, & that is saying a lot, seeing as how I love trying new sushi joints in & around Toronto. You definitely get your money's worth. Two rolls is more than enough for one person (I can never finish them); more suitable for two. The portions are huge & the fish is always fresh. I go at least once a week, if not more. I don't always dine in, but often call ahead for pick-up. It's ready, typically, within 10 minutes. I go so often that I don't even need to look at the menu.

The spicy salmon roll & the dynamite roll are a MUST. The dynamite roll is especially tasty: huge portion of fillings inside (tempura shrimp, cucumber, krab, avocado, salmon roe, etc.) with deep-fried tempura bits on the outside. A bite gives you the perfect amount of freshness from the avocado & cucumber, the crunchiness of the tempura bits, & the warmness of the "just out of the fryer" tempura. Yum!

Again, too much for me to handle, so I opt for the spicy salmon salad accompanied with either one.

I also tried the bulgogi roll, the spicy tuna roll, & the tuna/tomato roll (Don't order this; tomato makes it watery (?), if that makes sense). These rolls are okay. I'd rather stick with the "go-to's".

My boyfriend hates sushi so he always orders the chicken yaki udon/fried noodles. I've grown to liking it, although I've tasted better (like at Sushi Tei), & I guess the fact that he drenches it in Sriracha hot sauce, makes it taste more flavourful.

I love their bessame mucho sushi, the best I ever tried in Montreal. Aikawa is definitely offers the greatest sushi in DDO & even Montreal.

A must try restaurant. You won't be disappointed.
