Please don't be fooled by this restaurant's modesty... Although small in size, there are plenty of gastronomic treasures to discover at this restaurant that blends into the landscape of the great cosmopolitan city of Montreal. Atami, which means "warm sea" from its Japanese roots, is the first sushi restaurant to open its doors in the neighborhood. After already 15 years of existence, it's still oozes colors and flavors, ready to seduce you each time you visit. Come try one of our lunch tables d’hôte's which include five delicious services. And at night, come and discover our savory dishes and unique specialties, all ready to be washed down with a delicious wine from our vast wine list selection. In a truly warm atmosphere, let yourself be carried away by your desires as the chef prepares you one of his unforgettable creations. To end the evening perfectly, succumb to one of our decadent desserts...eat it alone (because you know it's too good) or share it (for the romantic in you). The ingredients are always of an incredible freshness and variety, of endless generosity and, above all, they are sprinkled with a hint of love that makes all the difference! So if you want to enjoy the art of eternal love, this "warm sea" will never cease to amaze you by constantly reinventing itself. And what is the best part of all this? Prices are extremely affordable and everyone can enjoy it, and hopefully you'll enjoy it forever...

Service affable efficace (eau glacée ne manque pas). Sushis préparés sur place par les chefs visibles , i.e. sushis ne sortant pas du réfrigérateur (fait contraste avec sushis commerciaux des grandes surfaces genre Kimko). Abondance de choix dans les nombreux menus différents étalés aur la table. Bière en bouteille servie décapsulée hors vue. Vraies serviettes. Pas de nappe sur les tables. Escalier à gravir (le restaurant est caché à un 2 e étage sur le coin de rue CDN Ed. Montpetit). Aquarium sans plante (vivier probable) contenait un gros poisson tout seul, vivant. Choix de table en terrasse ou intérieur climatisé. Décor minimaliste dont un grand miroir à droite en entrant permettant d'observer ce qui passe derrière soi dans la salle: une douzaine de personnes à 18h40 un jeudi début août. Sans musique audible. Parking facile via parcomètres sur CDN (environ $7/2h) . Près U de M, OSJ JGH, HSJ & SMH & Métro CDN. Poulet Kantsu, Salade orchidée, Platter combo sushi (avec soupe miso) & Tempura légumes crevettes, 2 bières, 2 sodas totalisèrent avec taxes CAD$114 (tip en sus) pour 2 personnes. Bon rapport qualité prix, roboratif: 1 doggie bag rrapporté pour un autre repas à la maison.
Une expérience culinaire absolument mémorable. J'ai été impressionné par la présentation soignée du plateau, avec sa sauce centrale qui invite vraiment à la dégustation.
Les sushis étaient non seulement magnifiques, mais aussi d'une fraîcheur remarquable. Mention spéciale pour les pièces entourées de feuilles de soja rose qui apportent une touche originale & délicate à l'ensemble. C'est une adresse incontournable pour les amateurs de qualité.

Tous les plats sont des belles créations! Les sushis sont frais. La terasse au 2e étage est parfaite l'été, on y voit l'Oratoire St-Joseph! Le service est très courtois. J'adore ce restaurant. J'y vais à l'occasion depuis une vingtaine d'années.
After more than 10 years, I was genuinely & pleasantly surprised to return & find the same exceptional recipes, familiar menu, & outstanding quality that made me love Atami Sushi in the first place. The sumashi soup was absolutely delicious, delicate, comforting, & full of authentic flavor. Every dish we ordered was beautifully prepared, incredibly fresh, & served with great attention to detail. What also stood out was the perfect ambiance: calm, elegant, & not overly loud, allowing for relaxed conversations & a truly enjoyable dining experience. It's rare to see a restaurant maintain such consistency & high standards over the years. The service was warm, professional, & welcoming from start to finish. Atami Sushi truly remains a hidden gem & a perfect example of quality, tradition, & customer care done right. Highly recommended!
Decent food, very slow service. It took them more than an hour to *start* making our mains, & they still got parts of the order wrong. Server was apologetic about the delay, manager was borderline rude. Sushi quality was decent, but 100% not worth the wait.
I was introduced to Atami last year by my great friend who had been going with her family from a young age. We now go weekly. This is truly the freshest fish I have ever eaten. Amazing quality & price, the employees are so friendly & always welcoming. This hidden Montreal gem offers some of the best sushi I have eaten. It is consistently delicious, we have never had a bad experience. We look forward to going back!!!
Toujours notre choix lorsque nous voulons manger du sushi.
Arigatou, nous sommes toujours les bienvenus ici, nous allons continuer a venir.
La nourriture est toujours fraîche & délicieuse, la décoration des assiettes est sublime & ma préféré, la soupe Kakitama 😌
