Review Summary

Gyoka Izakaya Sushi Bar is described in reviews as a place with incredibly fresh ingredients, a warm cozy atmosphere, and attentive service that makes guests feel welcomed. 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. Dishes are often described as beautifully presented with strong miso soup and desserts such as black sesame ice cream. A few reviews mention room for improvement in staff training or logistics, but overall satisfaction remains high and some call it the best sushi in the area.

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.

Le meilleur sushi de la rive-sud!!! Le hamachi jalapeno est un incontournable. Une vaste selection de rolls plus orginaux les uns que les autres. Avec un service soigné & intentionné quoi demander de mieux!

I went to have supper with some friends for a special occasion. The restaurant has a very cozy & comfortable ambiance, you feel at ease right away.
We had multiple appetizers, but the jalapeno hamachi was by far the most incredible thing i had eaten recently. The rolls are unique, but traditional enough you don't feel lost.
The service staff is young, funny & makes you feel at ease.
I cannot mention enough how the quality of the products is incredible & can be felt & tasted through every bite.

I was in this area of Montreal last week & I was craving some sushi, decided to stop in here on a whim & it turned out to be some of the best sushi l've had in a while!. Staff sat me right away & service was quick. The miso soup was so flavorful & was the perfect amount & their shrimp tempura roll was delicious as well, very filling. I would definitely come
back if I'm in the area again

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!

We had a wonderful experience at Gyoka! The service was super good, & the food was creative & delicious! My fav was the rock & roll #1 (assorted raw fish wrapped in cucumber with yozu sauce), tuna tataki & the black sesame ice-cream (so so amazing)!!! The grilled octopus was great too. Staff were super patient & explained the menu. Highly recommend!! Reasonable pricing too (around $50-60 per person).

After a long search & almost giving up, I finally discovered a great sushi restaurant in the Montreal region that offers a great variety of Sashimi. All of the sashimi were fresh & full of flavour. Next time I'll try more of the sushi rolls as well. It was relatively affordable compared to what you can find on the Island.

Really fun & cozy place. All sushi made to order & portions are large. Rolls are bigger than usual. Very authentic. Sake is available on tap & for cheap. Great small place. Make sure to reserve! Limited seating!
