The menu receives praise for freshness and variety, with standout items like jalapeno hamachi sashimi, sashimi mixes, distinctive rolls, and well presented sushi and hot dishes. Many note an authentic Japanese vibe and reasonable prices for the quality, making it a frequent choice for casual dinners and special nights. The intimate size is highlighted as a reason to book ahead since it tends to fill up quickly.

I had a wonderful experience at Gyoka Izakaya Sushi Bar in Saint-Lambert. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, & full of flavour. The sushi rolls were outstanding, & the hot dishes were just as impressive.

The atmosphere is warm & welcoming, perfect for a casual dinner or a special night out. The service was also excellent-attentive, friendly, & quick. You can really feel the pride they take in their work.

This is the most fresh sushi I've had in a very long time. The quality of the sushi is top-tier rivalling & out performing all the'high-end' sushi restaurants. I love the large assortment of sushi they offer.

Amazing sushi place! I really like the platter which they call it Sashimi Mix, it is beautiful & colorful. I have to tell you that it is the best presentation I have ever seen. The chef's choices are really fresh & tasty. I strongly recommend the Salmon Belly Sashimi & Sea Urchin Sushi which are my favorite!!always great?

I think this is the worst sushi restaurant, worse than the cheap sushi buffet restaurant! Food is not fresh, the taste is terrible, the grilled chicken is raw, & the beef sushi (actually tuna) is really special, Anyway, the sashimi is not fresh, while the cooked food is as fresh as if it was just taken out of the refrigerator.

Absolutely loved our experience at Gyoka Izakaya Sushi Bar! The ingredients were incredibly fresh, & every dish was bursting with flavor. From the sashimi to the rolls, everything was beautifully presented & tasted amazing. Don't miss the black sesame ice cream - it's rich, creamy, & the perfect way to end the meal. Highly recommend!

A gem in the sushi scene of the South Shore, this restaurant offers exceptional flavors. The fresh seafood & perfectly cooked rice create an unforgettable dining experience. The restaurant is clean & comfortable, with elegant background music & warm, attentive service. The house specialties are especially recommended-each bite is a delightful surprise!

Ever since I came back from months well spent in Japan, I've been looking for a sushi restaurant that brings me back & this was it. I come from the island every few days, the food is delicious, fish always fresh. The bluefin tuna is to die for & is prepared just how it is in Japan. I've been to many of the high-end sushi restaurants around Montreal, & this one is beats them all. I genuinely feel very lucky to have been recommended it.

I think this restaurant is overrated. I ordered a combo menu for two for 80$. I am a medium size asian woman & the portion was too small. The variety of the food is soso for the price paid. Nice deco & fresh sashimi, but not worth the price
