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.

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

Some of the freshest, melt in your mouth sashimi I've ever enjoyed. We ordered sparkling sake & the prix fixe for two that came with salad, rice, gyoza, sashimi, tofu stew, kimchi, & grilled mackerel. Charming, warm ambiance & excellent service. Highly, highly recommend this place!

Amazing sushi & sashimi. Everything tasted so fresh. But quite pricey. The rolls are very thin.

La musique était un peu forte pour nous, cependant le restaurant a un bon rapport qualité-prix avec de belles options végétariennes.

We have friends with a knack of finding the most intimate restaurants in the neighborhood. If you like Japonese food this one is terrific. Delicious sushi & other dishes & a very impressive saki list.
