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.

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!

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 visit

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!
