Reviews of Avocado Sushi du Village paint a picture of a cozy, welcoming spot with a focus on fresh, well presented sushi and inventive flavors, with highlights like avocado tartare, salmon sashimi, and dishes such as Nantucket, Lisabel, and Asian Twist; the atmosphere and friendly service are repeatedly praised, and some diners rank it among the best sushi in Montreal. At the same time, experiences vary: several mentions of high prices for what is offered, inconsistent quality, and meals that feel underwhelming or not worth the cost, especially on special occasions; some nights are described as hot or humid with a sticky table and limited kitchen communication. Reservations are often advised due to the busy pace, and while many leave impressed by freshness and presentation or a chocolate cake in a jar, others feel the value and consistency have declined and indicate they might not return.
If you're a sushi lover looking for fresh, high-quality ingredients, Avocado Sushi. This cozy local spot delivers an unforgettable sushi experience, particularly due to its dedication to freshness & premium ingredients.
The highlight of my visit was the avocado tartare. Creamy, smooth & paired with perfectly seasoned fish creates a delightful balance of flavours & textures. It's served with a delicate touch, blending rich & fresh flavours that are hard to beat.
The restaurant's atmosphere is welcoming, with a friendly staff that makes the experience feel even more personal. Supporting local is the way to go, our neighbourhood favourite.
C'était une expérience époustouflante, une explosion de saveur! Du jamais vu, une présentation exceptionnelle & tellement savoureux! J'ai même mentionné à la chef propriétaire que c'était le meilleur repas de ma vie!

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!
First time at this restaurant - we absolutely loved everything about it!!! The fish is so fresh, the food was amazing, & the service was impeccable, everyone was so welcoming & kind. We can't wait to come back!!
Small yet homey restaurant. I took the lunch combo of 12 pieces($34). 3 nigiri & 9 maki. It was filling with the Asian salad that's included with it. My favorite was the scallop maki. It was very tasty! The rest were good. I wish we had the option to order from their reguar menu as well, but we were told it was only from the lunch menu that we could pick our food. Too bad I wanted to try their tempura & other rolls.

It was an absolute perfect experience. Our server helped us to live the experience. Every bite was an explosion of joy in our mouth. I trust this restaurant 100%! They surely know how to take care of their customers. Thank you
Everything about this restaurant is amazing! The lighting, music, sound (look up they have installed sound boards so you can hear what the person in front of you is saying!) the wood tables & service! & of course the food is delicious!! Unique sushi you will not find anywhere else!! The waitress was very friendly & knowledgable, & did not let us order more than we needed!! 10 out of 5 stars!
When entering the restaurant, we were greeted with a strange odor. Despite ordering different maki rolls, tartare & rice paper rolls, it all tasted the same & bland. Finally, the sushi rice was mushy & overcooked.
This sushi restaurant left me with mixed feelings. On the one hand, it wasn't the first time we visited this place with my wife, & the first time was as special as this one - our anniversary. That's why we decided to book a table in advance, two weeks prior, choosing a special spot by the window. Unfortunately, due to a car accident on the road, we were 15 minutes late, which we reported to the restaurant by phone. Upon arrival, it turned out that our table was already taken. Of course, we were very upset, but decided not to spoil our evening & sat at another table. The service, as always, was excellent - the waiter, a young man with dark hair & excellent English, was very attentive. Alas, there were questions about the food. It seemed that there was a disproportionate amount of rice in the rolls. However, the tartare was simply divine, a huge thank you to the chef! But the most unpleasant thing was waiting for us ahead. Half an hour later, the table by the window that we had booked became free. We politely asked to be transferred, explaining the situation, but were refused. For over an hour before we left, this table remained empty, although we emphasized three times the importance of this place for us on this special day. Again, we were sitting at the next table on our anniversary, looking at the empty table that had been reserved for us. I consider this attitude of the staff to be unacceptable. Despite all the advantages of this restaurant, pleasant memories & good service, because of this attitude, I intend to forget the way to this restaurant. Ce restaurant de sushi m'a laissé des sentiments mitigés. D'une part, ce n'est pas la première fois que ma femme & moi visitons cet établissement, & la première fois était si spéciale : l'anniversaire de notre relation.. C'est pourquoi nous avons décidé de réserver une table à l'avance, deux semaines plus tôt, en choisissant une place spéciale près de la fenêtre. Malheureusement, à cause d'un accident sur la route, nous avons eu 15 minutes de retard, ce que nous avons signalé au restaurant par téléphone. À notre arrivée, il s'est avéré que notre table était déjà occupée. Bien sûr, nous avons été très contrariés, mais nous avons décidé de ne pas gâcher notre soirée & nous nous sommes assis à une autre table. Le service, comme toujours, était excellent - le serveur, un jeune homme aux cheveux noirs & avec un excellent anglais, était très attentionné. Hélas, il y a eu des questions sur la nourriture. On a eu l'impression qu'il y avait une quantité disproportionnée de riz dans les rouleaux. Cependant, le tartare était tout simplement divin, un grand merci au chef ! Mais le plus désagréable nous attendait. Une demi-heure plus tard, la table près de la fenêtre que nous avions réservée s'est libérée. Nous avons poliment demandé à être transférés, en expliquant la situation, mais on nous a refusé. Pendant plus d'une heure avant notre départ, cette table est restée vide, alors que nous avons souligné à trois reprises l'importance de cette place pour nous en ce jour spécial. Encore une fois, nous étions assis à la table voisine pour notre anniversaire & regardions la table vide qui avait été réservée pour nous. Je considère qu'une telle attitude du personnel est inadmissible. Malgré tous les avantages de ce restaurant, les souvenirs agréables & le bon service, à cause de cette attitude, j'ai l'intention d'oublier le chemin de cet établissement.

Avocado Sushi Village is a delicious cozy little restaurant. You can find most of your staple rolls, but the real treat is their signature rolls, the Cynthia stands out amongst our entire meal. The menu offered a lot of variety with several vegetarian options. This place is a gem in the Point Claire village!
This is by far the freshest, tastiest, most intriguing sushi i've ever had. The owner is an absolute sweetheart & even recommended I remove some of my orders due to it being too much. By being honest, she gained a loyal customer for life. 10/10 absolutely spectacular, nothing else to say about this place.
