Overall, CHIYOKO Sushi Bar & Steakhouse receives strong praise for fresh, creative sushi and reliable kosher options, with many describing the fish as exceptionally fresh and the presentation thoughtful. Ambiance and service are frequently highlighted, ranging from stunning settings and impeccable attention to detail to occasional notes of rude management, long waits, or busy, noisy nights. Pricing draws mixed reactions, with some diners feeling the experience justifies the cost while others call it overpriced for the quality. Several reviews place the restaurant among the best kosher or sushi experiences in Canada, and some travelers say it is worth going out of their way to visit. While the sushi itself tends to shine, a few dishes are described as less impressive and some visits are marked by an overall meal that does not fully meet expectations.
Absolutely delicious fried apple dumpling with ice cream for dessert. & I was told the deep fried ice cream dessert is even better! The sushi tasted very fresh & the Godzilla was particularly enjoyable. This restaurant is a gem & a deliciously hidden secret in Ville Saint Laurent. Sharp decor & the clever placement of curtains offers some privacy in this otherwise small & cozy space. I will have to return to sample the steaks. Great service as well. Excellent dining experience! P.S. the "very tall waiter" mentioned (& pictured) in another review was actually amazing. Great service, very friendly. Despite being incredibly busy, he took the time to answer questions & followed up with our table frequently, even going into detail to explain ingredients & recommendations. He was great, quite the opposite of the other review of him.
Nice restaurant all together. However, the food wasn't really anything'special'. Considering the ratings, I would have thought it would be a little more extravagant, especially considering the high prices. The atmosphere is also very, very cramped & not necessarily comfortable. Kind of hard to speak, & I don't really recommend bringing a date here. If I go again, I think I would rather try their steakhouse options, rather than sushi.
We had the absolute pleasure & honor of being hosted at Chiyoko Sushi Bar & Steakhouse in Montreal by my dearest sister in celebration of our mother's birthday. Chiyoko delivers an exceptional dining experience. The Sashimi Rainbow appetizer impresses with its ceviche-like slices of tuna, salmon, & yellowtail, perfectly paired with green apple slices & citrus. The Jalapeno Bluefin steals the spotlight, featuring Grade A+ tuna slices with coriander, caviar, fried green onions, & jalapeno. The Spicy Edamame stands out for its great flavor, enhanced by a teriyaki & spicy seasoned sauce. Both the Fish Tacos & Chicken Tacos, served chilled on a hard shell with avocado & diced tomatoes, offer a refreshing twist but could be even better on a soft shell taco. The Hot & Sour Soup, infused with tropical citrus flavors & garnished with fried green scallions, presents a delightful combination of tofu, chicken, udon noodles, & enoki mushrooms cooked in coconut milk, daring the most sophisticated palate for heated flavor. Moving to main dishes, the Chicken Burger is a highlight, featuring a plump, finely chopped, & seasoned chicken breast on a homemade bun, drizzled with Chiyoko chicken sauce, & served with premium julienne fries. The Chicken Katsu, while crispy, could use a bit more flavor, especially considering its hefty chicken piece. The Chiyoko Burger, a 1/2 pound minced beef & veal creation, grilled & topped with caramelized onions, mushrooms, & tempura enokitake, is a flavorful delight with Chiyoko's special wasabi sauce. The Beef Teriyaki, with beef fillet & stir-fry vegetables, may be a bit too generously saturated with a teriyaki-style sauce. While the Tuna Tartare features that same amazing grade tuna discussed earlier, the flavor is slightly overpowered by a lot of fresh cilantro. The dessert finale was absolute fireworks! A warm chocolate soufflé paired with dairy-free ice cream crescendos with the devoured fried ice cream ball. An overall culinary delight. My only wishful advice would be to offer some of the bread sandwiches paired with Montreal's famous sourdough bread from breaderie. As someone touring in the city, it would be great to take advantage of both the great meal, & the world famous bread that Montreal is known for at the same time. The ambiance at Chiyoko is extremely pleasant with a mixed sense of sport & class, with well-spaced tables creating an enjoyable dining atmosphere.
