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!

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 ! 10/10
