Review Summary

Bistro Isaka is widely regarded as a premier destination for authentic, high-quality Japanese cuisine in LaSalle, featuring exceptionally fresh sushi, perfectly seasoned rice, and a variety of traditional dishes that reflect genuine care and preparation. Many patrons praise the restaurant for its reasonable prices and superior value, particularly during lunch hours, noting that the food quality often rivals experiences found in Japan. While the culinary offerings receive consistent acclaim, feedback regarding the service and atmosphere is varied, with some customers appreciating the efficiency and friendliness of the staff, while others report instances of slow service, a lack of warmth, or concerns regarding the dining environment. Reservations are highly recommended to ensure seating, as the popularity of this local gem can lead to limited availability and occasional distractions from a high volume of takeout orders.

I have been coming to this restaurant since looong time ago; when they relocated from avenue parc to Lasalle, which then became too far from me back then & recently I visited twice within the last 2 weeks.

Bottom line, still the same great place & this is the Authentic Japanese restaurant run by Japanese family. To those of you who love sushi saying that you love fried dragon Maki roll with lots of mayo sauce, you may find it blend. You may say you like Japanese food but you don't want to eat raw fish or seaweed you will still find several options here, & one thing for sure I guarantee, for the price & quality you get in this place, it is rare & this is very close to what you can expect to eat in Japan.

You will find variety of fresh fish options for sushi, not just common type of salmon, tuna, crab meat & sweet omelet; you will find mackerel, scallop, squid, yellow tail & etc where you can eat them raw only when they are extremely fresh otherwise you will get sick. (See if you can find them at your all you can eat sushi restaurants). Other dishes including grilled chicken screwers, grilled squid, tuna carpaccio, unagi pie (grilled eel & spinach in a puff pastry with teriyaki sauce), Everything is perfectly seasoned, well prepared, & ultimately, their sushi rice is always perfectly cooked & seasoned. ( had enough of those places with soggy rice & they still roll their maki).

I highly recommend this place & I will still be a repeat customer.

We ordered the 41-piece sushi platter. The sushi was fresh & overall good. A couple of the rolls had cooked fish inside, which wasn't really my preference, but everything tasted fine. Good option if you want a large sushi combo.

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.

Sushi, a delightful dance of flavors & textures, has a way of winning hearts with its artful presentation & fresh ingredients. It's no wonder that it never disappoints! Each piece is a testament to the skill & creativity of the sushi chef, turning simple rice & fish into an extraordinary culinary experience. Whether it's the vibrant colors or the subtle blend of umami flavors, sushi is a treat that continues to surprise & delight with every order. Enjoy your next sushi adventure!

Half of the restaurant is for take out bags. One of the most delicious & authentic Japanese restaurant in Montreal. Japanese Chef behind the counter. Fresh fish & Japanese tapas. Very affordable prices & the portion are generous.
