The menu features a strong sake and cocktail program, with standout dishes like wagyu gyoza, takoyaki, and chef's choice options that satisfy a range of tastes.

A great restaurant with some fantastic dishes & beers! Ed, Jacob, & Jesse all served us throughout the night & they were fantastic to speak to as they provided great recommendations for drink & food, along with great conversation.

The beers being opened tableside & poured was a level of service I haven't experienced in quite some time from a restaurant. It was greatly appreciated. Being a vegetarian, Jacob recommended the Yami Yami roll that was one of the best sushi dishes I have ever had, hands down. The spicy edamame, miso soup, & vegetarian dumplings were all amazing choices as well. They weren't overfilling or overpowering in quantity & seasoning, respectively.

The Hitachino beers were all so good & a great way to compliment the dishes if you enjoy beer with distinct flavor profiles. Normally, I'm only used to Sapporo as my home province has very little offering in the way of Japanese beer. The Hito White, Lager, Damidami, & Red Rice were all so unique but complimentary to the food. The taste was quite noticeable but subtle at the same time; each one was in its own way fantastic. I cannot emphasize enough how well they paired with the food that was served. I truly respect a restaurant that can elevate the experience by pairing drinks so effectively with the food.

The entire restaurant is beautifully laid out. It felt like the prohibition met rustic-modern, & had a baby. It really provided a wonderful atmosphere to spend the evening so close to attractions like the Notre Dame Cathedral & La Grande Roue!

J'ai toujours bcp apprécié ce resto & leurs sushis. Que ce soit en personne ou par service de livraison. Hors, ce samedi soir de fin janvier, j'ai été très déçue de ma commande via Uber. Sushis pas frais, peu de poisson, tempura graisseux & collant. Bref, expérience culinaire décevante pour 150$.

Very very bad quality sushi, I eat sushi throughout Montreal, & I think this one was the worst. They overcharged & gave very bad quality fish. Very disappointing.

Kyo bar Japanese is among the highest-rated sushi restaurants in Montreal. However, personally, I found the sushi extremely bland & did not enjoy the food at all.

The service, on the other hand, was impeccable. I'm not sure if it was an off day, but based on my experience, the sushi really did not meet my expectations.

Overall a very enjoyable time here. The food was priced well & we were able to try a lot of different things. Some of the Maki rolls were just so so in terms of flavour, but all of the fish seemed really fresh. Our server was really friendly & checked in with us frequently despite how busy it was that evening. The only negative thing of note is that they initially had us seated right near the front door before we asked to move. People were trying to squeeze behind us & it was pretty cold... I'd just consider removing this table of I were the restaurant .

Super endroit. Nouilles udon aux fruits de mer délicieuses quoi qu'un peu trop épicé. Dessert dispendieux & minuscule. Mais bien situé, bon service & ambiance très agréable.

Elizabeth was polite, patient, professional, & kind. She showed care & compassion for her career, guiding us through each section of the appetizer & food menus. Elizabeth approached our table with a smile every-time. We are only visiting Montreal, but if we ever come back, we will be sure to visit once more to have this wonderful service again!

Elizabeth était polie, patiente, professionnelle & gentille. Elle a fait preuve d'attention & de compassion envers sa carrière, nous guidant à travers chaque section des menus d'apéritifs & de plats. Elizabeth s'approchait de notre table avec un sourire à chaque fois. Nous ne visitons que Montréal, mais si jamais nous revenons, nous ne manquerons pas de nous y rendre une fois de plus pour bénéficier à nouveau de ce merveilleux service !

A few family members of mine swear by this spot & I've always been very impressed by it. The food is delicious & I've never had a bad service experience there. Speaking of which, whenever I'm in town I always try to practice my French with waiters, & my last time here was definitely one of my better experiences with that! Turns out not immediately switching to English when someone is trying their best is actually cool!

Anyway, my only gripe would be that since this place is so popular, it can get very packed, especially with large groups. We sat by the window near the front & there was a group of like 20 people in high chairs arm's length from us. I'm a relatively tall man & felt like Stuart Little surrounded by people at twice my sitting-height.

La serveuse Kathi nous a magnifiquement accueilli. La bouffe est extraordinaire comme toujours. Je recommande les takoyakis ils sont hors de ce monde.
