Kyoto draws broad praise for exceptionally fresh fish, thoughtful balance in each bite, and striking presentation that makes the meal feel special; many reviewers rank it among Montreal's best sushi spots and some call it the top choice for sushi lovers. Service is frequently described as fast, attentive, and friendly, with atmosphere earning positive mentions, though a few notes point to a limited wine and sake list and room for refinement. While prices are sometimes noted as higher than average, the consensus is that quality and consistency justify the value, and takeout options and a small, intimate setting add to the appeal. Occasional critiques include rare bones in sashimi and vegetables on platters that seemed dry, but these do not detract from the overall strong impression.
A place we will be returning to every time we are in Montreal. Beyond delicious & everything was so fresh. The staff were professional & kind. We were visiting the city & if it wasn't for the staff noticing that our son left his headphones & came out of the restaurant to track us down to return it. We could not thank the staff enough for that attentiveness & thoughtfulness.
Kyoto Sushi really impressed us. I've rarely seen such beautiful & creative presentation - the dishes looked amazing when they arrived at the table. The sushi was fresh & very tasty, & the service was fast & efficient. Overall, a great experience that made the meal feel special.
Great staff, RJ was exceptional, he payed very good attention to us & was such a delight. The food was okay, I had bones in my sashimi, but it's okay accidents happen. What concerned me more was the freshness of the veggies on the platters, they were all dried up:( even the scallions on the sushi.
Hands down the best sushi I've had in MTL!
The sushi is incredible with great attention to detail & perfect balance in every bite. The quality of the fish is outstanding, extremely fresh, delicate & full of flavor. You can truly feel the authenticity & craftsmanship behind each piece.
Everything is done with balance & precision, letting the ingredients speak for themselves.
A must-try spot for real sushi lovers, I'll definitely be back!

I've been coming to this restaurant since 2018, after deciding it was time to move on from AYCE sushi, & I've never looked back. To this day, it remains my favorite sushi spot. It's become the benchmark I use to compare any new sushi spots I try. The ingredients are fresh, the quality is consistently excellent, & I've left satisfied every time. Highly recommended.
We have been regulars to this great place for more than 7 years, yesterday was our recent visit, & contradictory to some negative comments, the freshness, quality & taste get better every time. Keep it going.
I recently dined here & it was an absolute delight from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was inviting & calming, setting the perfect tone for our meal. Each piece was meticulously crafted, showcasing the freshest ingredients & expert technique. The variety of rolls & nigiri offered something for every palate, from classic favorites to inventive creations that pushed the boundaries of traditional sushi. Everything was delicious & Definitely coming back!

The food is very fresh, great quality ingredients, the place is so cozy, the staff very gentle. I really recommend it. Everything I ordered was excellent!!
Montreal is a great food city & this place is the cream of the crop. The quality is ALWAYS incredible, fresh & delicious. There are many more expensive sushi places in Montreal but none that are as good.
