Kyoto is widely praised for exceptional sushi with fresh ingredients, meticulous balance, and craftsmanship that lets the fish speak for itself. Reviews describe meals as among the best in Montreal, with many calling Kyoto a top or favorite sushi spot and noting the chef's creativity and attention to detail. The restaurant is often described as a small, discreet locale that delivers consistently high quality in both dine-in and takeout experiences, with friendly, efficient service and good value for the quality. While it can be pricier than some alternatives, the consensus is that the quality justifies it. A few critiques mention the service could be refined and, occasionally, a dish like octopus salad being chewy, but these do not overshadow the overwhelmingly positive impression. Overall, Kyoto stands out as a benchmark for sushi in the area and a reliable go-to for true sushi lovers.
We have been coming here for years, but sadly watched the quality deteriorate over the pandemic & never recover. It's still fairly tasty but the presentation is an embarrassment to sushi chefs. We really hope they are able to improve, as we have lots of fond memories here & it was our top choice for years.
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!
Honestly, not sure why this place has high reviews. The sushi were quite basic, the sushi rice was overcooked. For the quality, this food was overpriced. Atmosphere & service were nice, but as a Japanese food enthusiast, this is not authentic & my meal was a disappointment.
The restaurant was kind enough to resolve our issue which is truly appreciated because we love the food there & other sushi places we've tried are far below this one. So changing my review! Holidays are always hectic & one bad service experience will not deter us in coming back to this place, best sushi in MTL. We've been regular clients for over a year & are coming all the way from West Island to get sushis at this restaurant. Tonight when arriving to pick up our order we were told it wasn't confirmed « on their end » & wouldn't be ready for another 1h30. My husband showed the confirmation email with the pick up time we had received (he was actually 10 min late to pick up the food) but it didn't change anything. Nothing was proposed to make up for this. Really disappointed of this customer service, we can't wait an extra 1h30 for no reason. & since we have to drive 45 min to get these sushis I guess we won't order there anymore, not knowing if our order is confirmed « on their end »..... This was supposed to be our treat for our last meal with family visiting from far away, disappointment is at an all time high.
I've been here many times but this is the first time i order takeout. The sushi tasted good, as usual, but the bag they used was some kind of thin recyclable bag that couldn't withstand the sharpness of the takeout boxes. After a while, the bag was torn apart as you can see in my pic
Excellent sushi place Been meaning to go for a long time & it didn’t disappoint Will come again for sure….. 🤩 went back with my wife & it was even bette

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.
The food was fresh & amazing, the service was pleasant, the waitress smiled & was nice. However, took long since there was only one person preparing the sushi. The price was reasonable. I would go again but not for lunch just because I don't want to be rushed. I would go for dinner definitely!
This sushi place run by a Japanese family is without compare in Montreal. It is by far one of the best restaurants in Montreal & continues to be a somewhat hidden gem in Ville Saint Laurent.
The food is fresh & delish, the staff is always super friendly & attentive. We eat here at least once every two weeks.

I've been coming to this sushi bar for years!! Finally decided to write a review once & or all. It is by far my favorite sushi restaurant & the quality is the closest I have encountered in Montreal to sushi I've had in Japan. The place small but nice & cozy. The waiter is incredibly polite & patient, the chef is passionate about his food. the fish is fresh & they DO NOT cheap out on ingredients. Presentation is simple but the tasty sushi is to die for.If I could, I would eat here everyday.
We go there about once every 2 weeks. Great quality sushi -packed full of high-quality ingredients assembled artistically. Plenty of taste from the fresh ingredients & seasoning, no need for any extra soya sauce. Compared to those all-you-can-eat sushi shops, it cost about the same to feel full at Kyoto, & the quality of the sushi is like night & day.
Service is a bit slow as a sit down restaurant (only 1 sushi chef), but it's WELL worth the wait! Takeout obviously solves the waiting problem with the same quality of food & presentation. Highly highly recommended!
Notre place préféré pour manger des Sushis de qualités à un prix plus que raisonnable. Les proprios sont toujours sur place, souriant & accueillant. Pour ceux & celles qui ne le connaisse pas encore, c'est à découvrir.
