The best & most authentic Japanese food in Montreal by far.
I typically order multiple appetizers when I come here, as there is a wonderful variety. I recommend:
- agedashi tofu (the standout menu item, better than any I was able to find in Japan)
- spicy eggplant
- korokke
- grilled fish (especially if the yellowtail cheek is available)
The katsudon is also very good, in large part due to the broth. The broth used here is consistently amazing.
I've been coming to Furusato for over a decade & was devastated when they closed during covid. It's a blessing they've returned & I hope they'll be open forever.
Their sushi chef is currently out due to injury, which is sad, but it does not affect my decision to recommend Furusato at all. It's still the best.
(Selfish comment: It would be great if they expanded the cooked fish options, as it's a unique part of this restaurant... I miss the salted mackerel from the previous location, & miso mackerel would be truly amazing...)Voir plus
By far the best Japanese restaurant in Montreal.Voir plus
best japon restaurant in Mtl, nothing more. you must taste the Japanese fondue... incredible. & of course the'aubergine' best of the best at a reasonable price. I am a fan 😎Voir plus
Very good, we ordered the Shabu Shabu, it's a Japanese fondue. Great service, the lady that served us was very nice & patient like when she put all the ingredients in the soup. Very clean bathrooms. Great experience 😊Voir plus
Safe but very tasty authentic japanese food, which is rare in montreal, less these days but still.Voir plus
I have been customer since around 2011 when they were still in Bleury. Then when they closed, I was so sad & didnt know at all where they moved. Someone posted on IG & finally I found you again after 14 years!! Best Japanese Restaurant in town & I'm glad that people still like it. I had so many good memories when it was still at Bleury. At that time it was owned by a japanese family/couple if my memory serves me right. I probably went there almost every day for lunch & introduced it to many friends.Voir plus
Edited: Glad to see the response from the owner. First I am very happy to learn you have the confidence on your food, otherwise situation would get worse. Second, indeed some of your customers agree with you, & they believe these food worth 8000 yen. I would not say they are wrong, in fact their feelings are right in someway, as your research profoundly demonstrates the extra price is indeed the very cost for they are enjoying genuine Japanese food right here, in Montreal, not in Tokyo, Osaka or Kyoto. Perhaps I should make myself clear when asking that question, & now I may make some small changes. Let's suppose you were in Osaka, not Montreal, were you willing to spend 8000 yen on the food you present us? You don't have to answer here. Everyone has the ability to search on Google map for 4.5-star restaurants in Osaka & see the images of their food. I believe the answer to my revised question would be quite clear. One of your reviews indicates that the best Japanese restaurants are in the East Coast of the States. Then it continues, "Montreal deserves one, but Furusato obviously is not the one". The reviewer just gives a conclusion but does not elucidate, & my job here is to explain it. In fact I would accept a higher price for a REAL 8000 yen Japanese food, even if it's 16000 yen on the menu. Why? Cuz high quality food deserves high price. But in your case? I really cannot accept high price for a quite ordinary meal. Just image a regular Tims coffee (2.71CAD/300 yen) sells for 1000 yen(10 CAD) in Osaka. Will you accept it? Lastly, please, Japan is a REAL developed country, even BETTER than Canada. It's quite lame to use excuses like "doing business in Canada is harder than Japan ". Japan & Canada are both developed countries, therefore foods & services shall be the same quality for reasonable prices in both countries. I really feel sorry that some words from your response have insulted both Japan & Canada to some extent. I remember your previous site was near Place de Arts, a quite expensive location, but now here? I really cannot imagine you opened business here because you got beating hard by your home competitors. -------Origin texts -------- Put my arguments first, 1. Genuine does not guarantee delicious. 2. If you cannot afford the expenses travelling to Japan but you want to taste the real flavour of a Japanese family restaurant, this is the place for you, but don't expect too much. Food is too ordinary but the price is too high. Perhaps the only reason convincing one to pay for an overpriced meal is that their food is not the ready-to-serve factory products, all hand-made by the chef on scene. But I think that's a great advantage considering most'Japanese restaurants' in DT use pre-cooked rubbish to fool customers. HOWEVER, I FIRMLY believe if Furusato is in Tokyo or Osaka, it won't survive EVEN ONE DAY. A fine meal in Furusato is worth probably 8000 yen & with this price, one can have a Kaiseki meal (a very very luxurious Japanese meal ) in Osaka, let alone other ordinary meals. Here I got a quick question for the owner of Furusato, are you willing to spend 8000 yen for the food on your menu? So my conclusion is, Furusato is worth & not worth to try, depends on your ability to travel to Japan.Voir plus
The vibes are immaculate at this place. on one hand i want them to flourish, but in another i want to gatekeep this local gem all for myself! food are nothing like the japanese commercial you find downtown; everything tastes fresh & authentic. (personal favourite the tofu dish)Voir plus
A humble little establishment with some of the finest sushi & sashimi in town, along with other lesser-known Japanese dishes. Service can sometimes be a bit slow, but it's worth it for the food. [2024 Update] Moved to a new location, but the quality is still some of the best in town.Voir plus
Local hidden gem for a traditional Japanese cuisine experience.Voir plus
Best Japanese restaurant in Mtl. Very tradicional & comfort food.Voir plus
Excellent Japanese food & friendly staff. Highly recommend!Voir plus
Really an authentic Japanese restaurant!! The sushi are fresh & everything just felt like in Japan. The service was amazing!Voir plus
The place is rather small & very simple but nice. The tables are also small but I guess that is to be expected from a Japanese place. The staff are nice & attentive. I am no sushi expert but the sushi looked good. The appetizer with eggplants was delicious. 😊Voir plus
A friendly & casual restaurant serves authentic Japanese dishes. It's not a fancy & chic place like the ones in Old Montreal or in Plateau, & I hope it stays like that way! The menu lists classic Japanese dishes with fairly reasonable price. Their sushi is so good - it's not just the freshness of the ingredients but also the way they prepare the rice. There are so many sushi restaurants in Montreal yet most of them (even the fancy & expensive ones) seem to have hard time making the sushi rice properly, which is a huge disappointment for a native Japanese like me. Furusato never fails & always makes me happy when I have the first bite of their sushi. Other dishes are also great but haven't tried all of them because we always go for their sushi :) The chef & the servers are so humble which also gives you a sense of an authentic Japanese restaurant in Japan. Furusato-san, please stay as you are!Voir plus
You can eat real Japanese food !! I really enjoy everything. Sashimi, Sushi was amazing.Voir plus
Finally, real authentic Japanese dishes available in Montreal! Each meal is prepared by the owner; a Japanese trained Chef. His Japanese wife, also owner, ensures everything is done to perfection! Having been to Japan many times, this is the real taste of Japanese food!Voir plus
This was our second time here & we absolutely love it! Perfect spot in the neighborhood for great Japanese cuisine. We love the Shabu ShabuVoir plus
I am so happy to have discovered this gem, all the 5-stars reviews are with reason! Finally an authentic, Japanese-led Sushi place where you get amazing quality for a very fair price. Yes, it won't win any interior design awards but if you care about authenticity, delicious food, this is the place to be.Voir plus
