Bistro Isaka is widely praised for high quality Japanese fare, with sushi described as fresh and well rolled, great value for what is offered, and a strong range of dishes including soups, takoyaki, udon and tempura. Several reviewers highlight generous portions and reasonable prices, with some calling it the best sushi in LaSalle and noting the kitchen's cleanliness and stylish decor. Reservations are sometimes required or at least recommended, and on some visits customers were turned away for lack of seats despite online information not indicating a reservation requirement. Service is described as efficient and friendly on some visits, though other reviews mention cold reception and a less inviting dining room with maintenance issues such as spider webs on lamps. Overall, the dining experience is seen as highly favorable for food quality and value, with a few inconsistent dishes like some grilled items that were overcooked or rubbery and varying takes on the ambiance.
If you want to eat here you have to make a reservation, we were refused because they had no seats, the website did not say that reservations were required & of course we went elsewhere where we were welcomed with pleasure
Très beau menu bien exécuté, service efficace mais peu chaleureux, atmosphère & ambiance (musique américaine) ordinaire. Mais on y mange très bien pour un prix très convenable (2 pers. soupes, entrées, plats, saké pour 65$ tx inclus.)
First time I went for lunch & loved every bit of my assorted platter. Everything was delicious, superior quality & extremely reasonable price. Second time for supper & we were not disappointed. Each & every sushi was rolled to perfection, fresh & very good as well as the shrimp tempura. We explained that we had a time constraint because we hoped to catch a movie & our waitress did everything possible to work within our timeframe. Can't wait to go back!
Really good price for lunch. Took the udon soup & it came with mix tempura & 5 piece sushi. One of the nigiri, the fish was a bit tough but otherwise really good value for the price.
An excellent Japanese restaurant with a great variety of dishes. We tried a lot of the menu, & everything was absolutely delicious. The staff are very friendly, the kitchen appears very clean, & the restaurant is stylishly decorated. Considering the portion sizes, the quality & the taste of the food, the prices are quite reasonable. Truly a great experience - highly recommended without any reservation.

Accueil & service assez froids, salle peu attrayante, toiles d'araignées sur les lampes au-dessus des tables.
Certains plats généreux (calmar grillé & légumes grillés). Calmar caoutchouteux, dont certains morceaux immangeables. Morue fraîche, mais manque de cuisson au centre.
Légumes grillés savoureux, cuisson bien réalisée. Poulet teriyaki pas vraiment grillé, un peu trop cuit, mais garnitures de champignons, oignons & sauce délicieuse.
I love this place! Fish is always fresh, portions are generous & the prices are great! So happy to have a authentic Japanese restaurant you can dine in at in LaSalle.
I go to this restaurant several times a year when I am craving good quality sushi. Their marinated squid is amazing. Everything is always fresh & the service is good. It is the best sushi restaurants I've been to in Montreal, a real LaSalle gem.
