Miam! Quel bon repas, nous nous sommes régalées se sushis & de rouleaux de printemps. Je vais y retourner c'est certain 🥰 Très bon service, le personnel el est vraiment agréable!
Everything was impeccable-from the attentive service to the beautifully presented dishes. The food was absolutely delicious, with the makis & mochis standing out as the best I've ever tasted. 🤌
The food was great however not comparable to what we get in Scarborough (Toronto) ...considering how overpriced it is at this restaurant. Was there for a conference & went with colleagues. It is a good atmosphere however overpriced.
Absolutely incredible dining experience! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor & expertly prepared. The karaage was a standout - perfectly crispy on the outside, tender & juicy inside, & full of rich, savory flavor.
The rainbow rolls were far from your average sushi rolls. These were exceptionally fresh & artfully crafted - a clear step above what you'd find in grocery stores or even many other Japanese restaurants.
I was especially surprised by the seaweed rolls with egg. At first glance, they might not be the most photogenic dish, but wow - they were unbelievably delicious. A perfect example of'don't judge a book by its cover.'
We ended the meal with mochi for dessert, which had the perfect balance of chewiness & sweetness - a light & satisfying finish.
Despite the place being crowded & busy, the servers were fairly attentive. They kindly opened our bottle of wine & offered a taste before pouring, which was a nice touch & showed great hospitality.
The atmosphere was lively & had a good vibe overall, though it did get quite loud due to the number of people - something to keep in mind if you're looking for a quiet dinner.
Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for creative, high-quality Japanese cuisine.
Reservation is a must.

The sushi rice is terrible, no taste at all. The services are really bad. Asking two different waitress about the manu, no one had much patience to listen & explain to us. I checked the review before I went there. I think it was overrated.
Food takes forever to be served. Quality & service are alright, nothing special. Ordered 20 pieces sashimi for $90 but wasn't fresh enough compared to its price.
This is a proper, somewhat fancy Japanese restaurant with excellent sashimi/sushi. I also enjoyed their shrimp tempura & beef gyoza - all excellent! Their coffee & tea were perfect, as well as desserts.
The perfect vibe for a night out in the heart of the Old Port. Our waiter, Thomas, was incredibly helpful in recommending the best the restaurant has to offer, both food- & drink-wise! 10/10
Bonne ambiance & bonne bouffe, malheureusement le service était mediocre. On a pris la commande de table de 6 personnes arrivée 15 minutes après nous malgré que nous soyons prêts & attendons pour commander. Ensuite les repas arrivent à 10 minutes d'intervale donc on attend & ça refroidi sur la table. Aucun retour sur la qualité, on finit & les assiettes vides restent plus de 30 minutes sur la table. On voulait un dessert mais personne ne vient nous voir donc on doit attirer l'attention de la serveuse pour avoir la facture, qui va arriver par dessus les assiettes vides toujours pas débarassées.
