For the price tag on this place, it does not meet expectations. The sushi is good but nothing out of this world. Me & my friend ordered the 15 piece set which was 75$ per person. We first got 4 pieces out of the 15 then got the rest like 40 minutes later. All pieces were on the same platter & even though we ordered different additional pieces, they were placed all together & served to us as if we were sharing everything although we never told them we were sharing & we ordered separately. When asking for the bill, we weren't asked if we wanted it separate or one bill & just gave us one bill. The cocktails were good. The sushi is good but for the price you are paying, it's not worth it & you can get better quality sushi experience elsewhere for the same price.
First time at the restaurant for me & my friend , have to say it did not meet expectations. We each got the 15 piece special & it took about 1.5 hours to arrive, the plates didn't arrive together & we were confused as to the sequence of the services. The ambiance was not as expected. Decor was too simple. The quality was good though. At the end the waiter gave us a joint bill, never asked if we wanted to pay separately. Definitely prefer RYU since their pricing is similar.
Amazing, amazing food, tasting menu is definitely worth it. Only takedown was that the service lasted about 2.5 hours which is a tad longer than I'd want but still the best sushi I've had in Montreal
Nous avons essayé le menu omakase à 115 $ de ce restaurant. Je souhaite évaluer l'environnement du restaurant, l'hygiène, les plats & le service, chaque catégorie étant notée sur 5 points. Environnement du restaurant : La décoration est simple, avec des tons en bois clair & quelques touches d'éléments japonais. Cependant, l'éclairage est très faible, au point qu'il est difficile de prendre des photos claires. Note : 3,5/5 Hygiène : La table réservée par mon ami était en face du comptoir où les chefs travaillent. J'ai remarqué que les chefs ne portaient pas de gants pour préparer les sushis & autres plats. De plus, les aliments crus & cuits n'étaient pas séparés. Cela dit, la table & les couverts semblaient relativement propres. Note : 2/5 Plats : Pour un menu à 115 $, les plats manquaient de saveur & d'originalité. Les portions étaient très petites, & la fraîcheur du poisson était tout juste acceptable, respectant à peine les normes minimales pour des aliments crus. Il manquait totalement la saveur délicate du poisson frais. La sauce soja était fade, avec un arrière-goût amer & salé rappelant le soja fermenté. Le dessert était le point le plus décevant : un gâteau ressemblant à un brownie au chocolat avec un goût de sauce soja. Note : 1/5 Service : Les serveurs étaient chaleureux, patients & attentifs. C'est probablement l'aspect le plus réussi de ce restaurant. Note : 4,5/5 Note générale : En combinant ces quatre aspects, la note globale pour ce restaurant est de 2,75/5. Conclusion : En résumé, ce n'était pas une expérience de dégustation très agréable. Selon moi, un menu omakase devrait au moins refléter les spécialités du chef. Cependant, certains plats servis semblaient bâclés & manquaient totalement de soin. Les clients qui choisissent un menu omakase ne recherchent généralement pas un bon rapport qualité-prix, mais ils ne devraient certainement pas être traités avec autant de désinvolture.
