Review Summary

Karin is widely celebrated as an authentic, family-run gem in Montreal, cherished for its cozy atmosphere and exceptional Japanese cuisine. Diners consistently highlight the high quality and freshness of the sushi and sashimi, noting that the fish, including various cuts of tuna and salmon, offers a melt-in-the-mouth experience. Beyond the sushi, the menu features delicious options such as tempura, udon, soba, and kimchi, with the homemade matcha cheesecake frequently recommended as a standout dessert. While some mention the pricing is on the higher side or that portions can be small, the consensus remains that the level of care, the welcoming family service, and the traditional, homey decor provide a deeply satisfying and worthwhile dining experience.

Really good restaurant if you want a delicious high quality japanese meal. The food & especially the sushis are of very high quality, you can even choose the specific part of the fish (e.g higher vs lower fat pieces for tuna). I discovered several fishes that I had never eaten in sushi. I highly recommend the sushi assortment (Combo sushi hakata or Kyoto) if you want to discover new flavors. If you're not a fan of sushi, they also serve delicious udon or soba noodles, & fried rice dishes like beef donburi. For dessert everything is delicious, but my favorite is the matcha japanese cheesecake ! The restaurant itself is also very cosy, you can have your own little cubicule, & you can also reserve for larger groups if your going with family or friends.

What a gem! The atmosphere & food can be described as more home cooking, excellent balance of portion size, favor, variety & quality of the fish for the price is unmatched in Montreal. I love their is saumon, nigiri & sashimi plates. The noodle dishes are a treat as well. Try the matcha cheesecake for dessert maim
