A True Gem - 30 Years of Incredible Food & Kindness
I've been coming here for over 30 years, & it's still hands down my absolute favorite sushi spot in the city. The food has always been consistently amazing - fresh, flavorful, & made with care. From the sushi & teriyaki to the bibimbap, even the soup & salad - everything is delicious.
They also make my favorite kimchi in all of Montréal, no question.
What makes this place even more special is the family who runs it. They're incredibly warm, kind, & welcoming. Ai is such a wonderful woman - you truly feel like you're part of the family every time you walk in.
Places like this are rare - consistent, comforting, & full of heart. I can't recommend it enough.View more
What an amazing discovery. Most delicious fish i've ever eaten.View more
Another late review. Better late than never! What a fantastic surprise to find a great Japanese restaurant in Montreal. This is a family business; the people running it come from the same household. The owner was so lovely & friendly! We came here twice while staying in Montreal because we loved the food. Everything we had was so delicious! We had tempura, poke bowl, sonomono, sushi combo, vegetable yaki soba, bento box, & probably a bit more that I can't remember. I loved how they prepared the sonomono, even the tempura was well prepared using real Japanese ingredients. Yaki soba had the taste of Japanese spices. Best sushi in town! Please visit & try their food because it was excellent! The place is cute & successfully decorated with a Japanese-style design. We saw a lot of pretty items from Japan. Excellent food & service. Highly recommended!View more
I went a couple times over the years & I'm never disappointed. I come from French Polynesia & my standards of fresh fish is pretty high & the Tuna (& all sashimis they serve), is on par with what I grew up with.
Definitely one my fevorite restaurant. You also have some separated spaces for small or bigger groups which adds a little bit of intimacy & I really like it.
Awesome place. You got the blessing from a South Pacific Islander, so go!View more
Restaurant excellent . Ça m'a rappelé mon voyage au Japon. Très authentique.
Restaurant tenue par une famille qui veut garder ça traditionnel.
Nous avons essayé la soupe soba, les tempura de légume , le karage, les takoyaki, le poisson salé, le sauté de soba & des sushi, tout était magnifique.
La dame qui nous a servie était adorable & le service était parfait. J'y retournerais avec plaisir !View more
Nous avons passé une agréable soirée au Karin. Le restaurant est tenu par la même famille depuis 38 ans, & cela se ressent dans l'ambiance chaleureuse. Nous avons eu une table pour 2 dans une petite maison, l'endroit était assez privatif & nous étions satisfaits.
La personne qui s'occupait de nous était très attentionnée & a su nous faire de bonnes suggestions.
La nourriture est arrivée assez rapidement, & le goût était incroyable! Les takoyakis fondaient en bouche, le poisson était de grande qualité & les bouillons étaient délicieux.
Les prix étaient également très raisonnables pour la qualité & les portions servies.
Je recommande fortement l'endroit & nous y retournerons pour sûr!View more
Everything was delicious & the owner was very friendly. Highly recommend!View more
We had a reservation for a group of six & they rapidly took care of our table! This little place is a family business.
-They food is absolutely delicious! Their menu has many options as well as full courses for larger groups.
-The service was impeccable. The lady taking care of our orders was polite & kind.
-They have a diverse selection of drinks & sake.
-The pricing is reasonable depending on what you order. The full course might seem expensive, but you get your money's worth of content!
I would recommend making a reservation here if you want to spend some good time with friends or a loved one!View more

Good service & good. I'll probably visit this place againView more
This family owned & run Japanese restaurant was immediately reminiscent of my trip to Japan in terms of the atmosphere & private seating areas. The toro sashimi was the best I've had in Montreal & the tempura is as good can get. A real hidden gem, well worth the visitView more

Recommend by friends. Friendly service, great food, would definitely go again!View more
Karin Japanese Restaurant is an absolute gem! This place just reminded me of Japan. The decorations with every detail thoughtfully crafted by the owner's mother, it is realy an authentic atmosphere.
The food is great & everything is made with care. Best sushi & sashimi I ever tried in Canada & as you know, freshness is true a true testament to quality. The flavors are fresh, & you can tell they use top notch ingredients. The selection of beer, sake, & other alcohol perfectly complements the meal also, if you are a tea lover you can choose from their range of Japanese teas.
The owners are originally from Japan, & of course the service is warm & welcoming & the entire restaurant feels like a slice of Japan right here in the heart of Montreal in Canada.
If you're looking for authentic Japanese dining experience look no further, I highly recommend this restaurant & will definitely visit it over & over again!View more
I ordered Taiyaki with uber eats & they were AMAZING
I have a new fish shaped addiction.View more
J'ai adoré ce restaurant japonais ! La nourriture était excellente & incroyablement fraîche : sashimis, poisson & même les cornets étaient savoureux. Le service était rapide, & la servante, toujours souriante & gentille, a ajouté à l'expérience. La décoration traditionnelle japonaise créait une ambiance authentique & apaisante. Grâce a cela, on s'y croyerait même au coeur du Japon. Une adresse à recommander absolument ! 10/10View more
