We had the omakase & was really underwhelmed by the experience. I have had omakase around the world & this was the first time I've had to share dishes with my dining partner. The portion sizes were small but ok for omakase I guess, but for 2 people to share a tiny 2 oz portion of black cod was both awkward & comical. I rather you charge me a little more & give me a proper dish on my own. Very weird plating choice, especially coming out of a pandemic. I dined here today with my cousin, but if I was taking a client out it would have been really weird to share those tiny dishes. The flavour & actual dishes were pretty good. The whelks with apples had a nice balance of acid & sweet. We really enjoyed the grilled octopus & nori paste. Smokey & full of umami. The black cod was well cooked but really tiny. The dessert was delicious, seasonal strawberry & rhubarb with a nice light sabayon. But the worst part of the meal was the sushi. Really disappointed. Aside from a pretty good tuna roll, everything else was just blah. First of all, I would not expect Maki rolls & creamy stuff on a omakase menu. I was expecting high quality sushi nigiri. Some of the creamy mayo stuff crab & scallop & some fried sushi roll was just gross. The fish was not sliced uniformly. Service was ok, friendly but not very intuitive. I had finished my beer after second course & was going to order more saké. But server didn't ask about another drink until we were halfway done the sushi course, by then I said forget it, not spending more money here. I had high hopes for this place & there were definitely some winners but overall was underwhelming & would not go back or recommend.

Toujours un de nos restos chouchous ! J'adore leurs oursins en provenance du Québec & ceux en provenance du Japon! Leurs saké, les sushis & la fraîcheur de leurs poissons... tout est bon, élégant, réconfortant!
Nous y retournons régulièrement.

Y a de bons restos de sushi. Y en a d’excellents. Mais ici, on côtoie le firmament. La salade d’algues en entrée est une harmonie de saveurs délicates merveilleusement présentée. J’ai fait suivre du saumon épicé & du « Funny maki », qui furent tout aussi remarquables. Le service est cordial & efficace, malgré une salle bondée, & on sait suggérer le saké approprié pour accompagner le tout. L’ambiance était chaleureuse & aucunement snobinarde, malgré que l’on fût dans un coin très BCBG de la ville.

Bref, une adresse à retenir quand on veut se dorloter.

OMG!! Les meilleurs sushis à Montréal. J'en rêve depuis & j'y retournerai demain matin! Nous avons pris le repas de façon Omakase, c'est-à-dire selon les choix du chef. Mon expérience a été magique en tout point, les poissons sont d'une excellente fraicheur & le choix de saké est très séduisant. Par contre, il vaut mieux réserver, car l'endroit est souvent convoité. On y retourne? N'importe quand!
