In the heart of downtown Montreal. A relaxed, inviting & traditional atmosphere for formal or informal dining. Incredible choice & variety assures everyone will be satisfied! Large sushi bar, tatami rooms, private party room. Sakura has great Sushi and Tempura, but Agedofu and Yakitori are recommended as well.
Jardins SAKURA Garden is described by patrons as a cozy, authentic Japanese dining spot with a welcoming, friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere. The food is generally praised for good quality and flavor, with sushi, sukiyaki, and bento options highlighted and portions often seen as generous for the price when meals are prepared to order, and a playful note is the small robot delivering meals to tables. Some reviews mention occasional flaws such as sushi rolls arriving a bit loose, a salad in the set menu being overdressed, and meals taking longer than expected, along with at checkout not always receiving acknowledgment. A few diners call it a hidden gem and appreciate the old school Showa era vibes and attentive staff, while others mention the price point as high for the level of novelty or certain menu items. Overall, Jardins SAKURA Garden comes across as a solid, authentic Japanese option worth returning to, with room to smooth out consistency and communication.
Loved every single thing I ate there from the tasty miso soup to the incredible sushis. You can feel the thoughtfulness & quality in every single dish. The portion sizing was perfect for me. I took the combo of sushi makis & I found that the price was very reasonable for what I was getting which was quality & tasty food that didn't leave you feeling heavy or lethargic afterwards. Waiting time for our food didn't take long & as one dish was done, the other dish was coming in so I'd say the service was super smooth & it definitely helped with the overall pleasant restaurant experience. I'd definitely come back here, super happy to have found this gem of a place!

This place has been open for 50 years - there's a photo wall as you walk in with photos - & it makes sense why when you taste the food. The tempura batter is nice, the green tea was brewed correctly, & the staff was attentive with checking up & refilling drinks. Not a lot of frills here, just good food. I think a sign of a good place is regulars, & when I was there two regulars showed up. One has his seat by the window & the other had a pickup order, & the owners came out & greeted both sets of people.
The interior of this restaurant has a retro Japan feel with decor & music to bring that ambiance. The service was friendly & efficient. There are vegetarian sushi & Bento options. The Bento boxes were presented beautifully & there were some uncommon items like lettuce leaf in my sushi roll & cucumber & potato tempura. The veg Bento was about $30, which was quite a higher price for the quality of the food, but in this case I guess the price is to reflect the experience of the atmosphere. Overall, the experience was okay.
L'expérience omakase a été succulente! Nous avons adoré! Tous les plats sont travaillés avec soin & goût. Belle expérience culinaire! L'ambiance est discrète, idéal pour une soirée tranquille.
Authentic Japanese restaurant. Really fresh. Quality fish & rice. Nothing compared to the other ones that just wants to sell a ball of low quality rice with a little bit of some cheap fish inside. This place is real.
I visited Japan a couple years ago & this was my most authentic experience since then! Low key but perfect & so welcoming. The food was obviously, amazing!
Ambiance typique japonaise. Musique douce japonaise. Service impeccable. Meilleur sushi que j'ai mangé à Montréal & je suis montréalaise d'origine & suis fervente de sushi. J'ai pris le Happy Combo avec sushi & sashimi. Je recommande fortement & reviendrai assurément!

This might have been the single best sushi experience I have had in Montreal. The lunch combo I ordered came with miso soup, small salad, tempura, sashimi, nigiri, hoso & futo Maki's, green tea & ice cream. The miso soup was cloudly, perfectly hot & flavorful. The tempura included shrimp, zucchini, eggplant & sweet potato all expertly fried, light & had no greasiness to them at all. The sashimi was a good variety of tuna, salmon & snapper. All of which were fresh & clean tasting. The nigiri were very well prepared with perfectly seasoned rice & wasabi used in the perfect proportion. Rolls were varied & balanced with different textures & flavors. The meal was finished off with hot tea & green tea ice cream. The service was attentive but not overbearing. The meal was paced very well by the waiter & it was nice to feel so taken care of. Including a diet coke, all this was had for the incredible price of $34.49 including taxes. For the quality of the food & the experience, I cannot recommend Sakura enough.
The best tempura & sushi I've ever had, & the workers were so nice!! My mother's been here a lot & told me a bit about its history & I admire the owners so much. Everyone is so lovely.
