Propriétaire ? Réclamez cette fiche
Karin est un restaurant réputé pour ses sushis et sa cuisine traditionnelle japonaise, ainsi que ses plats coréens. En plus de servir des sushis de qualité exceptionnelle et des fruits de mer d’une fraîcheur absolue, le restaurant propose une expérience authentique de gastronomie japonaise. Situé depuis plus d’un quart de siècle sur la rue Queen Mary à Montréal, Karin a résisté à l’épreuve du temps et s’est révélé être un des plus grands restaurants japonais du Québec.

Cette expérience gastronomique renommée que propose Karin serait impossible sans les efforts et le dévouement d’un homme: le réputé chef Hansoo Im. Une autorité reconnue en cuisine japonaise et coréenne, le chef Im a confirmé sa vocation avec fierté et application en plus de quarante ans de travail et dans deux pays fort différents.

Dans le restaurant Karin à Séoul, en Corée du Sud, le chef Im a cuisiné des mets fins japonais pour ceux aux goûts les plus raffinés. Cet établissement prestigieux, situé près du Complexe du gouvernement central (le centre du pouvoir politique en Corée du Sud), a accueilli une clientèle distinguée. Le chef Im y a appris les subtilités de sa vocation. Officiellement qualifié en tant que chef japonais après seulement quelques années d’études et d’apprentissage, le chef Im a le mérite d’être autorisé à préparer le fugu, un dangereux mets raffiné, qui demande une habileté unique, acquise seulement par des années d’un entraînement rigoureux.

Venez donc manger au restaurant japonais Karin de Montréal dans un environnement chaleureux offrant goût, beauté, sophistication et tradition. Goûtez les résultats de 40 années d’engagement et de dévouement d’une famille pour une excellence culinaire.

Karin propose une expérience gastronomique unique dans un environnement original. Les banquettes privées sont conçues pour assurer l’intimité et un havre loin du bruit et du tumulte de la ville. Ici, tous peuvent se reposer et savourer les plaisirs subtils de la cuisine authentique japonaise qui calme et éveille les sens.

Le poisson cru est riche en huiles essentielles et en vitamines et faible en gras saturés. L’algue nori traditionnelle procure quant à elle un haut degré de minéraux et d’antioxydants. Le sushi est donc un excellent choix santé.

Cute truly authentic Japanese/Korean restaurant providing superbly fresh & tasty food for a reasonable price in a lovely homey Japanese decor.

We had the tempura & some Maki rolls. I was impressed at the quality of the ingredients & the rice.

Will come back to eat more & try the Korean meals.

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!

Amazing & authentic Japanese food experience! Great service & homey comfortable feel the place. I highly recommend the gyoza which felt fresh & are the best I have had in a long time, the yaki-udon was delicious & a very generous portion, the matcha cheesecake was a rich & tasty way to end this meal. I would recommend making a reservation as it was pretty busy & we happened to get an empty table just in time. Will be coming back! (There was also a decent vegetarian section in the menu for those who prefer the option)

I love this place! The fish & vegetable soup is savory with natural flavours. Sashimi quality is excellent. There's a wide variety of authentic Japanese dishes. I order delivery & they always write nice words on the bag, which makes me feel very special. It's obvious that this establishement is passionate about what they do. You can feel & taste the love that goes into each dish. I highly recommend! I appreciate you! 💗

I have been going to eat authentic Japanese food made by Japanese authentic cookers for the past seven years. Wow... my favorite one in town!

The greatest restaurant in Montreal. The quality of the food is absolutely incredible. We got the Aki course which ran us 150$ for two people, & let me tell you the sheer quantity & quality of what we were served would have cost us at least double anywhere else. The sashimi was incredible, the sushi was delicious, the tempura was perfect, the grilled fish was amazing as well. It's incredible just how much food they gave us, & it was more than worth every penny. In fact it's comparable to prices you would see in Japan, which really blows my mind. To the point I don't understand how they make profit selling such high quality fish at that price. They also have inexpensive meal options which are also amazing in their own right. Just a wonderful restaurant & wonderful people. This restaurant is actually owned & ran by japanese people unlike most japanese restaurants in town. It is highly authentic & you can tell they put a lot of love & care into everything. I recommend going there multiple times. I also highly recommend the course meals; it's an amazing experience.

The best & most authentic Japanese restaurant in Montreal that I've been to! A nice little hidden gem. The food is delicious, especially the seafood (sushi, sashimi) & their main dishes. Best tempura in town! Service is great, the owner lady is very kind & friendly. Just keep in mind that it's a slow dining place, so it might take a while to order / get your meals especially on busy days. I love this aspect as well, great for longer conversations & it feels very private in the boothes. Try also their teas & desserts, yuzu jam & ensemble taiyaki are may favorite, but their mochis are great too! The only downside is that it's not cheap, but considering the overall experience & quality, it's well worth it! We rather try to cut our spending elsewhere & return to this hidden gem :)

Lovely place, authentic & great opportunity to practice your japanese if you're learning. A little bit on the pricey side!

My wife & I had an amazing evening lasting 2 hours here. We had the Haru menu for two. We added an entrée of Okonomiyaki which was probably too much food but we did not regret. Our hostess was pleasant & welcoming. Even endulged us with our pitiful attempt to speak some Japanese. We wanted an authentic Japanese meal & I can honestly say it was fantastic. The decor is quaint & had cute Japanese stationary, baby shoes, dolls & other cute decor at the main entrance. The service was not overwhelming & each dish had authenticity we were looking for. Dessert was to die for & homemade. Sushi & tempora shrimp & vegetables was delicious. Practice eating with chopsticks beforehand to really feel like you're in a Japanese home. Going back for sure! We parked on a side street but plenty available on a Friday night on Queen Mary .💜
