Overall reviews describe Jatoba as a refined Asian fusion destination with outstanding, beautifully presented dishes and fresh sashimi, complemented by a chic, lively ambiance and attentive service. The cocktails and wine pairings are frequently praised, and staff are noted for knowledge and friendliness, making celebrations or date nights feel special. While the experience is consistently described as excellent and worth the price, some comments call out the high cost, occasional slow service or pacing during busy times, and a few notes about uneven service at the bar or in the dining room. The restaurant is often listed among Montreal's best dining spots, with many guests planning a return and appreciating the chef's touches and the care in plating and ingredients. Reviewers also highlight the variety of dishes, the ability to accommodate dietary preferences, and the opportunity to sample many plates in a shared, tasting style, even as a few find acoustics or meal pacing could be improved.

Superbe moment. Les sushis sont délicieux, bien que tout de même chers, la qualité est au rendez-vous. Nos préférés saumon sur riz croustillant & nigiri de saumon. Celui de homard est cher pour la portion & le tataki de boeuf nous a déçu. Le gâteau au caramel avec guimauve est simplement décadent! Excellent choix de vins, service attentionné & excellent. Une belle soirée !
Absolutely delicious! The cod recommended by the server was excellent, & the mushroom side dish was just as impressive. The bartender, a genuinely friendly man, customized a cocktail to suit my taste - a nice touch that made the experience even more enjoyable. I come to this restaurant often because the dishes are consistently flavorful & well-executed.
My bill came to $200 for a cocktail, one main dish, a vegetable side, & a glass of wine. It's not cheap, but the food & service are definitely worth the price. Highly recommended for a refined yet welcoming dining experience.

Le service a été plus que parfait, les serveurs venant souvent nous demander si nous avions besoin de quelque chose/ remplir nos verres. De plus le personnel a été très accueillant.
L'ambiance était élégante & intime mariant parfaitement la nationalité des plats avec un air moderne.
Pour ce qui est de la cuisine, les plats étaient excellent & font re-visiter la cuisine de l'Asie. Les présentations sont travaillés.
