Avocado Sushi du Village

I've been coming to this cozy little sushi spot for special occasions since it's close to home, & I used to really like it-until my visit last night.

First, the room was uncomfortably hot. I usually feel cold, but even for me, it was overwhelming hot.

Then came the wine service. I ordered a $16 glass, & while they brought the bottle for me to taste, the waiter never showed me the label. After I approved it, he took my glass & the bottle to the kitchen, saying he had to pour it using a measuring glass. When the wine came back, it tasted noticeably different-stronger & less smooth. When I asked why they don't pour in front of customers, the owner jumped in defensively, insisting that's just how they do it.

She later brought the bottle back & tried to pour me another glass, but I had already ordered something else. Instead of handling it professionally, she walked away looking annoyed without saying a word. While the rest of the staff was kind & tried to smooth things over, the owner's attitude made the situation unnecessarily stressful.

As for the food, I generally like their house maki, but I find snow crab makes the sushi feel too heavy with its creamy texture. Also, based on past visits, the fish isn't always the freshest.

At $90 per person, I expected better service & attention to detail. Thankfully, the staff worked hard to fix the issue, so I left with an "almost okay" experience.

Love this spot! The sushi is fresh & well prepared, with lots of options. The bowls are such a good deal & come with so much food. The drinks are good too & there are good wine options. Service is always good & interior is very cozy. Recommend reserving before as the seating is limited & it books fast!

Amazing little spot in the pointe Claire village.

My daughter recommended it & it was just fantastic.

Sushi is very fresh, & they have some indicative & creative rolls not seen on other sushi menus around town. Lots of use of fruits too. One roll with kiwis, another with raspberries.

We tried about 9 different rolls this time, along with some nigiri. All were delicious & I would definitely order again.

We are not drinkers but there is a wine & cocktail menu. We went with a nice hot pot of green tea which went well with the meal.

Prices were very reasonable. Definitely not downtown sushi prices.

We ate there while the pastry chef was on vacation, so desserts were limited, but we did share a chocolate pecan brownie with ice cream. Very good as well.

Service was perfect all evening. The waitress was very attentive & friendly.
