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.
Karin est décrite comme une véritable gemme, un restaurant familial où une atmosphère intime rappelle le Japon et où l accueil chaleureux et personnalisé est au cœur de l expérience. La cuisine privilégie des produits frais et offre une grande variété de sushis, sashimis et plats chauds, avec des portions généreuses et un équilibre entre goût et qualité; le toro et les nigiri sont souvent cités comme particulièrement frais et fondants. Le cadre, avec des espaces privés et une décoration soignée, contribue a une impression d authenticité et de convivialité. Les menus permettent de tester un éventail de plats et les options pour groupes sont appréciées. Le service est généralement décrit comme attentionné et rapide, et meme si certains estiment les tarifs élevés surtout pour les boissons, l ensemble de l expérience est percu comme authentique et digne d etre recommande.
Family family family home. Seriously the food is so so good. I tried many dishes & can personally say I feel like I am eating at a good friends house with every dish served just right! If you choose this for one of the top Japanese places to must try in Montreal, you will be proud of this choice
Been coming here for the last 6 years with my family. Very good Japanese (as authentic you can get within this price bracket) food & service. Would highly recommend
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 :)

The staff went above & beyond to ensure that our dining experience was nothing short of amazing. First & foremost, the food was absolutely delicious. Each dish was expertly prepared with fresh ingredients & bursting with flavor. From the sushi rolls to the Beef teriyaki , every bite was a culinary delight. We were especially impressed with the variety of options available on the menu, catering to both Japanese & Korean cuisine lovers in our group. Not only was the food exceptional, but the ambiance of the restaurant was also inviting & cozy. We felt relaxed & comfortable throughout our meal, making it the perfect setting for a family outing.

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 .💜
One of the best sashimis in Montreal! The fish is fresh & so tasty, I was very impressed by the quality ! Ordered the authentic Japanese menu for 2 & everything was so delicious, the portions are big & everything was so fresh, definitely one of the best Japanese restaurants in Montreal !
